Following her loss to Valentina Shevchenko<\/a> on Saturday night, Holly Holm is now on a two-fight losing streak after being the champion of the UFC women’s bantamweight division<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Holm spoke with the media<\/a> in the post-fight press conference following her loss and says that she knows she is capable of performing better than how she did against Shevchenko.<\/p>\n

\u201c(I have to) just get back in there and go forward,\u201d Holm said (transcribed by MMAjunkie<\/a>). \u201cI know I\u2019m capable of more. I think I just need to believe in myself a little more. I know I can do more than what I performed like tonight. Valentina is really tough. We know that. We knew everything \u2013 counter-punching, clinch, trips, all that \u2026 it\u2019s not like I haven\u2019t been taught the right things. It all comes down to my performance, and it wasn\u2019t great tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI do believe in myself. I always believe in myself, otherwise I wouldn\u2019t get in there. I believe I can do it. I think I just need to know that I\u2019m learning and I need to perform with it. It\u2019s there. The tools are there. I just need to do the right things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holm is well aware of the fierce competition in the UFC and says that she has never taken her preparation and training lightly after reaching the top.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never in my career, be it boxing or MMA, felt like I\u2019m at the top because I know there\u2019s always someone else aspiring to be the best,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen I first came into MMA, I wanted to have titles in both. I had drive behind me. I still do. I never look at the division and think I made it to the top and I\u2019m just going to stay there. There\u2019s always somebody hungry, there\u2019s always someone getting better. That\u2019s why people love to watch fighting \u2013 you never know what\u2019s going to happen. It\u2019s really unpredictable.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
