Holly Holm: An Overnight Success… a Decade in the Making

From the moment Holly Holm announced her intention to retire from boxing in 2013 to concentrate on mixed martial arts, she was put under the microscope, dissected and analyzed. At the time, she was already 31 years old. A veteran of 38 professional boxing matches, she had won championships in three weight classes and could rival anyone in the sport in competitive experience. She would come in the front door with the best hands in her division. Yet when it came to her overall potential, Holm was a mystery.

But not before “The Preacher’s Daughter” gave her this message during their post-fight hug. On the flip side, Holm got to take her sweet time and enjoy every second of it. That’s the focus of the promotion’s latest “Thrill and Agony” preview for UFC Fight Pass. “Experience the heartbreak and elation at UFC 193: Rousey vs Holm,” reads the official description. “A new women’s bantamweight champion and more as we go behind the scenes.”
