The news was announced by UFC CEO Dana White on Tuesday night.

Signing Harrison is a major acquisition. She is a two-time Olympic gold medalist and the former face of the women’s division of the PFL. There had been rumors that her next bout was to be against Cris Cyborg, but clearly that is not the case.

Harrison will fight Holm at bantamweight. If she can secure a victory against Holm, a title shot will be in reach for Harrison.
