The undefeated Greg Jackson trained fighter is expected to make her Octagon debut later this year.
Holm will bring an impressive 7-0 pro MMA record into her UFC debut. She has finished all but one of her opponents, via strikes.
Prior to her career as a Mixed Martial Artist, she was an elite-level boxing champion, only losing twice in her 38-fight career. It is because of her impeccable credentials and record, that she is regarded as one of, if not thee, very best welterweight fighter of all-time.
And she’s gunning for Ronda.
