Holly Holm ’s attempt to rebound after falling short of UFC gold earlier this year will have to wait. The former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holm (12-5 MMA, 5-5 UFC) has suffered an undisclosed injury that’s caused a withdrawal from next month’s UFC 243 bout with Raquel Pennington (10-7 MMA, 7-4 UFC). MMA Junkie verified Holm is out of the matchup with a person close to the situation following an initial report from ESPN.com . The person requested anonymity because the UFC has yet to make an official announcement. Additionally, MMA Junkie has learned that Pennington will not receive a replacement opponent for UFC 243, which takes place Oct.
