Holly Holm (born October 17, 1981) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Bantamweight division. She is the current UFC Bantamweight Champion. She is also a former professional boxer and kickboxer. She was a multiple time world champion in boxing, defending her titles 18 times in three weight classes. Her most notable win in mixed martial arts (MMA) occurred at UFC 193, when she captured the bantamweight title, and gave Ronda Rousey her first loss in the sport.

Holm is the first person to win championships in both boxing and mixed martial arts.[2] UFC fighter Jon Jones has called her the greatest female athlete in combat sports history.[3] Outside of MMA, she appears in the 2016 feature film Fight Valley.[4]

Early life

Holly Holm was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States, and grew up in nearby Bosque Farms, the youngest of three children. Her father, Roger, is a Church of Christ preacher — as a fighter, Holly would later be nicknamed "The Preacher's Daughter" — and her mother, Tammy, is a massage therapist. Holm is of Irish and Swedish descent.[5]

Growing up, Holm played soccer and participated in gymnastics, swimming and diving. Her parents divorced shortly before she graduated from Manzano High School in 2000; after graduation, she studied for a year at the University of New Mexico.[6] [7][8]

Amateur kickboxing career

Holm's path to a career in boxing and kickboxing began with aerobics classes. Her cardio-kickboxing instructor was Mike Winkeljohn, who soon saw Holm's potential as a fighter and began training her. In the Fall of 2001, at age 20, she competed in the IKF USA National Amateur Championship Tournament in Kansas City, MO. After winning the first round of the tournament by TKO in just 34 seconds, she won the second and final round by unanimous decision to claim the national title in the international rules adult women's welterweight division,[9] a victory that would mark her last kickboxing appearance before her pro debut. Her overall amateur kickboxing record stood at 6–0–2.

Professional boxing career

Holm has held several welterweight boxing titles,[10] been highly regarded as one of the best female welterweights in the world, and is considered among the best of all time, by some.[11][12] She also has been named Ring Magazine female Fighter of the Year, twice in consecutive years in 2005 and 2006. She is a big draw in her home town of Albuquerque, having all but 3 of her fights there and just one of her fights outside of her home state of New Mexico.

In June 2008 she became the undisputed welterweight champion and holder of belts from 140 to 154 by defeating former champ Mary Jo Sanders by decision. They fought a rematch on October 17, 2008, at the Palace of Auburn Hills in suburban Detroit, which ended in a draw.[13]

On December 2, 2011, Holm took on knockout artist Anne Sophie Mathis of France for the vacant IBF female and WBAN welterweight titles. Holm was badly beaten by the stronger Mathis without the referee interfering, even going into the canvas without a count. She finally lost by knockout in the 7th round, which would be dubbed the upset of the year in women's boxing.[14] The two rematched on June 15, 2012 for Mathis's WBF female, IBF female, and WBAN welterweight titles. Holm took a unanimous decision win over Mathis, becoming the new champion and avenging her earlier KO loss.[15]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Holm made her mixed martial arts debut on March 4, 2011 against Christina Domke at an event promoted by her boxing promoter Lenny Fresquez. She co-headlined the card with Jackson's Submission Fighting teammate Keith Jardine.[16] Holm won the fight via TKO in the second round after her opponent was unable to continue due to leg kicks inflicted by Holm.[17]

Holm returned to MMA on September 9, 2011 at Fresquez Productions: Clash in the Cage against Strikeforce veteran Jan Finney.[18] She defeated Finney by TKO in the third round.[19][20]

Bellator MMA

On February 28, 2013, Holm made her Bellator MMA debut against Katie Merrill at Bellator 91 in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.[21] Holm won the bout via TKO in the second round.[22][23]

Holm announced that she would retire from boxing after her May 11, 2013 boxing match against Mary McGee so that she can fully concentrate on her MMA career.[24] The message came as a punctuation in the negotiations to arrange a title-battle between Holm and the Norwegian champion Cecilia Brækhus.[25] Holm went on to defeat McGee via unanimous decision, for her boxing retirement bout.

Legacy Fighting Championship

On July 19, 2013, Holm faced Allanna Jones at Legacy Fighting Championship 21.[26] She won the fight by head kick knockout in the second round.[27]

Holm was expected to face Erica Paes at Legacy Fighting Championship 24 on October 11, 2013.[28] However, Paes was removed from the card and Holm instead faced Nikki Knudsen. Holm won the fight via TKO due to a body kick and knees in round two.[29]

On December 6, 2013, Holm faced Angela Hayes at Fresquez Productions: Havoc.[30] She won the fight via unanimous decision.

On April 4, 2014, Holm faced Juliana Werner for the inaugural Legacy FC Women's Bantamweight. She won the bout and title via TKO in the fifth round due to a head kick and punches.[31]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

On July 10, 2014, it was announced that Holm had signed a multi-fight deal with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).[32] Later in an interview with MMA Junkie, Holm's manager Lenny Fresquez disclosed that Holm's contract is for five fights.[33]

Holm was expected to make her debut at UFC 181 against Raquel Pennington. However, on November 13, it was announced that Holm was forced to pull out due to an undisclosed injury.[34] The two fighters faced each other at UFC 184. Holm won the bout by split decision.

Holm faced Marion Reneau on July 15, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 71.[35] Holm won the fight by unanimous decision.

Bantamweight championship

In her highest profile MMA fight to date, Holm faced defending bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey before a record-setting crowd in the main event of UFC 193 on November 14, 2015. Despite being a massive betting underdog, Holm controlled a majority of the bout with her superior striking and defended all of Rousey's takedowns. The second fighter to take Rousey past the first round (after Miesha Tate), she won the fight via knockout in the second with a head kick, ending Rousey's undefeated streak and three-year reign as champion.[36]

Holm was also awarded her first "Fight of the Night" and "Performance of the Night" bonus awards (totalling $100,000).[37] By winning the title, she became the first person to win championships in both boxing and MMA.[2] Following the bout, UFC fighter Jon Jones called Holm the greatest female athlete in combat sports history.[3] Her hometown, Albuquerque, New Mexico, proclaimed November "Holly Holm Month".[38]

Fighting style

Holm employs frequent lateral movement while working stiff jabs to an opponent's head.[39][40] When standing within the pocket, she often waits to attack with counter-strikes, usually employing a straight left hand.[40] Holm is also known for her punching combinations, typically done while her opponents are against the cage.[41]

Former boxer Ana Julaton has described Holm as a "natural mover", noting her footwork as an asset in setting up strikes.[42] At UFC 193, Ronda Rousey took several blows while struggling to close the distance against Holm.[43]

Holm uses a variety of kicking techniques, often targeting the body with a fast side kick, pushing back a rush with a low oblique kick, and attacking the head with a left high kick.[44][39]

Holm appears in the 2016 feature film Fight Valley.[4]
