Holly Holm

Post by HomicideHenry »

Ever since her upset victory over Ronda Rousey back in 2015 she has had 6 losses and 4 wins. 2 of those losses were controversial (Vieira & Randamie). She's 40 years old now. Where is there for her to go? Is it time for her to hang it up, or should she go back to boxing or should she go after the kickboxing championship?

After the Taylor-Serrano match there was brief discussion of a bout between Taylor and Holm. It's been nearly a decade since her last match as a professional boxer. But the idea is not as ridiculous as one would think considering Cris Cyborg is set to make her boxing debut September 25th and she is 37 years old. Considering Cyborg defeated Holm in the UFC it's possible that the two could meet again in a boxing ring.

As for the kickboxing world, Jorina Baars is once again the women's champion although this time as a featherweight rather than welterweight. It's possible that Holm could have a crossover fight with Baars (33) considering the Dutch kickboxer previously had fought and defeated Cyborg in 2014.

As for the UFC, following the controversial loss to Vieria back in May Holm is currently rated #3 in the bantamweight division. A rematch with Julianna Pena seems to be the only option that she has.

I‘m no MMA fan but I saw her fight Rousey. Rousey tried to stare her out during the instructions. She overdid it and just looked ugly instead of intimidating.

Would be cool to see Cyborg vs Holm in a boxing match.

Two of the most accomplished fighters in female combat sports history facing each other in two combat sports.

How many more fights does Holly have on her UFC contract?
