Former champ, UFC 208 headliner Holly Holm to appear on today's 'Live with Kelly'

Former UFC women’s bantamweight titleholder Holly Holm is no stranger to “Live with Kelly.”

After she shocked the world with a second-round knockout of then-dominant champion Ronda Rousey at UFC 193 in November 2015, Holm made an appearance on the show to talk about her big win.

Today, Holm will be back on with host Kelly Ripa – but in different circumstances. She no longer has the women’s 135-pound title. She lost it to Miesha Tate, who lost it to Amanda Nunes – who recently did her own apperance on “Live with Kelly.”

But on Saturday at UFC 208, the promotion ushers in the women’s featherweight division with an inaugural 145-pound title fight, and Holm will move up 10 pounds to go after a title in the new division. Holm (10-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) fights Germaine de Randamie (7-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC) in the main event, which takes place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Holm will appear on the syndicated talk show to discuss the fight and her shot at making history. If she wins the belt, she’ll become just the fourth fighter in UFC history to hold titles in two different weight classes, joining UFC Hall of Famers Randy Couture and B.J. Penn, as well as current lightweight champ Conor McGregor.

“Live with Kelly” airs in syndication. Check your local listings for exact times.
