Föredetta boxnings mästarinnan Holly Holm skrev nyligen kontrakt med UFC och målet är att en dag möta titelhållaren Ronda Rousey, även om hon inte har alltför bråttom att kliva in i oktagonen med bantamviktsmästarinnan. I en intervju via ”The MMA Hour” meddelade Holm att hon är imponerad på Rondas boxning, och detta hade Holly att säga:
With Alexis Davis, a lot of people were thinking that after she threw her down and hit her on the ground, I mean, she hit her clean with that overhand and that is what knocked her out. And then she was quick to bring her down and finish her. So I was very impressed with it. She landed a great, clean shot. It wasn’t sloppy. I thought it was a good call, a clean shot she hit her with right on the jaw. And then she has the knees to the ribs of McMann. So she obviously has a very well-rounded game.
She has cleaned house. Anybody that gets in there with her doesn’t really give a her a hard time. She is definitely great and I think that she’s good. I admire her for what she’s been able to accomplish. Hopefully I will eventuality be able to step in the cage with her and have that honor to be able to fight someone who is the best in the world at what she does. If you’re not in the sport to beat the best, that is a goal of mine, if not, then I shouldn’t be doing this as my job. So yeah, hopefully we can do that.
I just want to focus on one fight at a time, though. I don’t want to look to far ahead. I have Raquel Pennington in front of me. But don’t get me wrong, I always make sure to watch Ronda’s fights. A lot of these girls are going to make it difficult for me, so I don’t want to look too far past.
Den 6 december kommer Holm att göra sin debut i UFC, då hon tar sig an Raquel Pennington vid UFC 181 i Las Vegas.
