The highly anticipated UFC debut of former world boxing champion Holly Holm (7-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will likely take place at UFC 184, where she is expected to meet Raquel Pennington (5-4 MMA, 2-1 UFC).

MMAjunkie has confirmed with multiple sources close to the fighters that verbal agreements are in place with both athletes and that bout agreements are expected to be finalized shortly.

The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to publicly discuss such matters. Holm’s pending medical clearance, which she is expected to obtain as soon as this week, is said to be the only remaining roadblock before UFC brass can officially announce the matchup.

UFC 184 takes place Feb. 28 at Los Angeles’ Staples Center. The evening’s main card airs on pay-per-view, though an official bout order for the evening has yet to be revealed.

Pennington and Holm were initially expected to meet at December’s UFC 181 event. However, Holm suffered a neck injury in training and was forced to the sidelines, allowing Ashlee Evans-Smith to step into the contest.

Pennington won the fight with a brutal technical submission at the end of the opening round.

Meanwhile, Holm is a high-profile signee who brings true elite-level striking to the cage. She fought most recently in April, scoring a fifth-round stoppage of Juliana Werner in a Legacy FC 30 contest. Holm suffered a broken arm in the matchup and was forced to delay her UFC debut, but with her boxing background, she had already earned the attention of UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.

With the targeted addition to the card, the UFC 184 lineup now includes:

Champ Chris Weidman vs. Vitor Belfort – for middleweight title

Champ Ronda Rousey vs. Cat Zingano – for women’s bantamweight title

Frank Mir vs. Antonio Silva

Yoel Romero vs. Ronaldo Souza

Holly Holm vs. Raquel Pennington

Roan Carneiro vs. Mark Munoz

Roman Salazar vs. Norifumi Yamamoto

Jake Ellenberger vs. Josh Koscheck

Alan Jouban vs. Richard Walsh

Derrick Lewis vs. Ruan Potts
