Undefeated knockout artist Holly Holm (6-0) will take on Brazilian kickboxer Juliana Werner (7-3) for the inaugural Legacy Fighting Championship women’s bantamweight title.
Holly Holm ventured into a career in mixed martial arts after being a multiple-time world champion boxer, even being regarded as one of the best female boxers of all time.

Holm debuted with Legacy at Legacy FC 21 in July where she delivered a highlight-reel head kick knockout to Allanna Jones. She followed that performance with a TKO victory over Nikki Knudsen at Legacy FC 24 in October. Five of her six wins have come by way of TKO or KO.
Juliana Werner is a decorated kickboxer.
