Holly Holm will square off against Germaine de Randamie for the inaugural UFC women's featherweight title during UFC 208, the promotion announced Tuesday.
Holm captured the UFC bantamweight title in one of the most stunning upsets in the sport's history, defeating previously unbeaten Ronda Rousey. However, Holm lost the bantamweight belt to Miesha Tate at UFC 196.
