About Holly Holm
- Boxing Hall of Fame Recipient
- UFC Bantamweight Champion
- Known for one of the biggest upsets in the history of sports (simultaneously capturing the bantamweight title & giving Ronda Rousey her first and only loss)
5’8″ southpaw Holly Holm from Sandia Heights in Albuquerque, New Mexico was born on October 17, 1981. Holly’s path to a boxing career began with aerobics. “I started aerobics to keep in shape, saw the (kickboxing) class, thought it looked pretty cool, so I thought I’d try it for one fight and see what it was like,” says Holm.
Holm’s most notable win in mixed martial arts (MMA) occurred at UFC 193, in front of a record-breaking crowd for a UFC event (56,214 people) in Melbourne, when she captured the bantamweight title and gave Ronda Rouseyher first and only loss in the sport. The fight is considered one of the biggest upsets in the history of sports.
Holm is the first person to win championships in both boxing and mixed martial arts.[9] As of July 28, 2016, she is ranked the #4 female bantamweight contender by the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and the #2 fighter by Sherdog. She is also ranked the #3 pound-for-pound female fighter by Sherdog, while Fight Matrix lists her as #7. UFC fighter and teammate Jon Jones has called her the greatest female athlete in the history of combat sports
