As the UFC continues to book fights for its summer schedule, it’s being reported that former bantamweight champ Holly Holm will take on rising contender, Irene Aldana, next.

The fight will headline an August 1st card, which is expected to take place at the Apex Facility in Las Vegas. The match-up has been reported to ESPN by sources.

The 38-year-old Holm (13-5) is coming off a decision win over  Raquel Pennington in January, which followed her KO loss to champion Amanda Nunes last July. The decorated fighter is 3-2 in her last 5 bouts.

The 32-year-old Aldana (12-5) is coming off a knockout win over Ketlen Vieira in December, and she’s gone 4-1 in her last 5 fights.

Currently, Holm is ranked #2 in the UFC’s women’s bantamweight division and Aldana is #5.
