When undefeated women’s bantamweight fighter Holly Holm steps into the Octagon to make her UFC debut against Raquel Pennington, many believe it will be her first step in the promotion towards a bout with champion Ronda Rousey. The former professional boxer and kickboxer, who has held multiple titles in different weight classes during her career, though is not ready to overlook her first UFC opponent in favour of future bouts. “It is a lot of pressure, I haven’t even had my first fight in the UFC so I have a lot to prove,” said Holm. “I don’t really like to talk so much about the championship fight because Raquel Pennington is first and if I don’t do well with that it’s going to be what was all this talk about? What was the hype about? I want to take this fight and not look past it.” Still a matchup of the 7-0 Holm and the 10-0 Rousey looms over Holm’s promotional debut, which will take place at UFC 184 on the undercard of the same event where the champion will defend her gold in the co-main against Cat Zingano. Rousey has already defeated some of the best women’s bantamweight fighters in the world, but Holm does not think the Riverside County, California native is indestructible. “I think she’s great, she’s ran through everyone and made it look easy,” said Holm. “Is it tough to beat her? Absolutely, I think everybody has tried to bring their best game. On the flipside everyone is human and everyone is beatable.” As far as the woman she will face at the February 28th Los Angeles, California based event, Holm knows it’s a victory she will have to earn in the Octagon. “She’s very comfortable, she doesn’t let anything get to her and she doesn’t break down too much mentally,” said Holm. “She found herself in a couple of tough spots and just waited for that opening, so she’s definitely someone not to get too comfortable with or too lazy with.” Los Angeles Kings Jerseys .

LOUIS -- Lance Lynn has been among the best first-half pitchers in the majors since cracking the St. Louis Cardinals rotation in 2011, reaching double-figure win totals before the All-Star break all three seasons. The Los Angeles Dodgers saw a pitcher determined to finish strong, too. Lynn won his third straight start Friday night, leading the Cardinals to a 3-2 victory. "Im not worried about the rest of the season," Lynn said. "Im just worried about my next start -- whenever that may be." Lynn is 33-15 with a 3.54 ERA before the All-Star break and 12-9 with a 3.91 ERA after the break. Hes been among the pitchers getting the most run support, too. Manager Mike Matheny repeated his assertion that Lynn (11-6) is "one of the most underrated pitchers in the game." "Despite what anybody else thinks, hes got a lot of wins and theres a reason," Matheny said. "Its because hes got great stuff." Matt Holliday homered and doubled with three RBIs in support of Lynn. Kolten Wong had two hits and scored on both of Hollidays RBI hits for the Cardinals against the team they beat in the NLCS last fall. They have won six of eight and remained a game behind the Brewers for the NL Central lead. "Really, I just kept my approach simple and tried to hit the ball hard back through the middle of the field," Holliday said. "I dont get ahead of myself. Ive learned playing this long to take this thing day to day." A.J. Ellis had an RBI double for the Dodgers, battling the Giants for the NL West lead. They remained offensively challenged coming out of the All-Star break, totalling 10 runs the last six games. Hollidays seventh homer, estimated at 435 feet to straightaway centre, came off Dan Haren (8-7). Lynn gave up two runs on four hits in six-plus innings. He struck out nine and worked around four walks, which tied his season high. Lynn has 44 wins the last three seasons, one behind Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright for most in the league. He bounced back from season worsts of two innings and sixx earned runs at Los Angeles on June 28 before leaving with a blister.dddddddddddd "I thought he used his breaking ball more. I dont think he used his curveball in L.A. hardly at all," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "It looked like it took us a while to get going." Haren piled up 99 pitches in 4 2-3 innings, allowing three runs on eight hits, and is among the National League leaders with 20 homers allowed. Hes totalled 8 2-3 innings his last two starts and has lost his last three outings overall. "I made a bad pitch to Holliday," Haren said. "I actually didnt make that many mistakes. It seemed like everything they hit in the air was falling, and there was nothing I could do." The Dodgers left the bases loaded in the third when Matt Kemp struck out. The Cardinals stranded three in the fourth when Lynn bounced out after an intentional walk to Tony Cruz. Consecutive doubles by Juan Uribe and Ellis leading off the seventh chased Lynn. Ellis scored on a wild pitch to cut the deficit to one. The Dodgers stranded two against Pat Neshek in the eighth and Trevor Rosenthal had two strikeouts in a perfect ninth for his 29th save in 33 chances. NOTES: The pairing for Saturday is Zack Greinke (11-5, 2.73), coming off his second All-Star nod, against Joe Kelly (1-1, 3.44), making his second start coming off the DL from a hamstring injury. Greinke has won his last four starts against the Cardinals and is 9-3 with a 2.93 ERA for his career against them. ... Mattingly didnt mind Kemp saying he was open to a trade if he didnt get regular playing time in a published report during the break. "The headline catches your eye and you read it and you go, Its not that big of a deal," Mattingly said. Mattingly also didnt mind that Kemp wanted to play centre field, saying "Thats fine, he can view himself however he wants. Im playing him in left." ... Holliday reached 1,000 career RBIs last month. ... The Cardinals have won their first home game after the All-Star break seven straight seasons. ' ' '
