At 38, however, her dream of reclaiming the belt is still alive.<\/p>\n<p>In the main event of UFC Fight Island 4 this Saturday, Holm will attempt to rocket back into title contention with a win over Mexico&#8217;s Irene Aldana.

I\u2019m truly a big believer in the fact that, if you\u2019re not trying to fight for a title, what are you fighting for? If you\u2019re not trying to be No. 1, what are you fighting for? That\u2019s the difference between somebody who just wants a participation ribbon and a gold medal. I\u2019m always going for gold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Holm, who is also an 18-time boxing champion, will enter the UFC Fight Island 4 main event with a decision win over Raquel Pennington in the rear-view mirror. Her next most recent fight was her failed title bid to Nunes, one of the most dominant champions in the sport, which came by way of first-round TKO.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Holly Holm will ever win UFC gold again?
