Holly Holm tog tidigare hem bantamviktsbältet när hon mötte Rond Rousey under slutet av 2015, men har sedan gått med 3 förluster i sina tre senaste matcher, mot Miesha Tate, Vaslentina Schevchenko och senast Germaine de Randamie när de slogs om kvinnornas nya fjäderviktsbälte.
Holm känner trots detta att hon fortfarande ligger på toppen och siktar nu mot att klättra upp igen så snart som möjligt. Härnästa kommer hon att ta sig an brasilianskan Bethe Correia under Fight Night 111 i juni.
Det här berättade Holm via ’The MMA Hour’:
I still feel like I’m in the mix and I still feel like I am competitive and up in the top. So, you never know when that next opportunity can come.
I think after having the belt, it was more like, ‘Wow, I’ve only had two fights in UFC before they gave me my title fight.’ I always feel my career is on a fast track, but I was on a faster track and I felt everybody coming and felt I needed to get even better.
Maybe I got just a little too antsy with some of that instead of taking it day by day and each day at a time. Maybe I was kind of worried about everything rather than what was going on at the moment. Hopefully, I learned from those mistakes and make it all worth something now.
