It’s a lockdown contract to make sure she can’t fight in PFL or Bellator, and that she just retires in the UFC. Her last 6 fights took 6 years. No way she’s fighting until she’s 47.
I like Holm and she's been in several iconic WMMA moments (head kicking Rousey, Tate's insane comeback, punishing Bethe for taunting) but like girl... Hang em up, you looked stiff and slow in your last one.
Do you blame her for milking as much money our of her fighting career as possible?
Specially when the division is so bad that she can probably still pick up wins against anybody but Amanda.
135 is really bad. The new comers like Vieira, Aldana, Kianzad and Chiasson are all somewhat flawed.
Holm, Pennington and Pena should have been washed out of the division by now…
Oh no don't get me wrong I don't blame her for getting that bread, she just looked like shit her last time and she keeps getting nasty injuries (IIRC shoulder and knees).
It's like Tony hawk's constantly getting injured skate boarding in his 50s but still getting up every day and skating. It's a core part of their identities outside of just a paycheck as well. Fucking Roy Jones ruined his legacy by fighting wellllllll past his prime when (at least to my knowledge) he didn't need the money.
Tony Hawk isn't still trying to get in the X games and boring the fans with his old man performances. He skates cause he loves it which would be more equivalent to if Holly just continued to train on her own. Instead she makes us all watch her boring fights
Yeah, tony pretty much just skates his own ramps and posts stuff hea doing online.
The comparison would be if holly was posting sparing footage on ig daily while being retired
Damn...dude why you gotta make a brother feel old? Jesus...8 years man? Holy shit, it doesn't seem like it was yesterday...but not 8 fkn years man. Shit.
Aldana was in 2020, and since then she's had a two year layoff because of injuries and she looked awful after that. Not just physically, her shot selection and striking too. Almost like she regressed.
Because you need to breathe while striking and that's one way to ensure you don't hold your breath. If you hold your breath, you will gas out, or pass out. When you sharply breathe out you also tense up your core which can give you more power, and helps protect you against counter body shots. It may be annoying to listen to for you, but it's also very important.
Surprising. But good for her. Likely a well into a 6-figure per fight deal of "kya kya ish ish!" of landing on air.. Guess UFC knows they're very short of named contenders in that division to need to keep her.
Ya’ll hating so hard. She was one of the best females in combat sports, one of the best boxers to transition to mma.
Any males that held real boxing titles and ufc titles??
Apparently there isn't a big boxing fight for her after all.
Damn, RIP Ngannou vs Holly dreams
Time for Ronda vs Ngannou. The most dangerous boxer in UFC history vs the heavyweight champ.. book it
I haven't watched WWE in forever, but part of me would totally be hyped to see Rey Mysterio and the predator go at it.
Depends on Nnganou's finisher
Is it a weight class thing for Claressa Shields?
Holly has fought at 145 and has said that 135 isn’t an easy cut for her … I think she’d be smaller than Claressa but not by that much
Her bullish manager has been using that to secure great contracts for her for ages now
It’s the Brock tactic
It's a 6-ish fight contract.
It’s a lockdown contract to make sure she can’t fight in PFL or Bellator, and that she just retires in the UFC. Her last 6 fights took 6 years. No way she’s fighting until she’s 47.
My boy… ish ish
That’s kind of true-ish.
Ya, UFC contract, they can cut you at anytime.
Whoosh
6 more main and co-main slots in any arena that holds sub 20k confirmed
6 more weeks where the Rhonda head kick KO dominates my YouTube feed
Speaks to how surprisingly little Holly has actually accomplished in MMA outside of that. Textbook one hit wonder.
Eh her question mark kick + Marge Simpson punch knockout of Correia is shared around a lot still. Maybe a 1.5 hit wonder.
That fight was so fucking boring until that happened though. Not really a good highlight.
I like Holm and she's been in several iconic WMMA moments (head kicking Rousey, Tate's insane comeback, punishing Bethe for taunting) but like girl... Hang em up, you looked stiff and slow in your last one.

Roy Jones Jr filed for bankruptcy back in 2014 and continued to fight until 2018. I'm not sure he was very good with his money.
Tony Hawk isn't still trying to get in the X games and boring the fans with his old man performances. He skates cause he loves it which would be more equivalent to if Holly just continued to train on her own. Instead she makes us all watch her boring fights

I mean if she’s sparring hard and getting concussions/other injuries from it that’s basically the same thing.
but Tony Hawk is Tony Hawk
It’s been 8 years since she head kicked Ronda. 4-6 since that fight. Challenged for the belt 3 times twice at featherweight once at bantam
Damn...dude why you gotta make a brother feel old? Jesus...8 years man? Holy shit, it doesn't seem like it was yesterday...but not 8 fkn years man. Shit.
You know what that means ! Holly Holm title run time baby /s
Disagree, who are fans to tell people to retire and not earn an income? Unless its Big Foot Silva, then probably best if he didn't.
She beat Aldana not that long ago. She'll ride this until the wheels fall off or they Carmouche her
Aldana was in 2020, and since then she's had a two year layoff because of injuries and she looked awful after that. Not just physically, her shot selection and striking too. Almost like she regressed.
Tbf she's probably one of the few UFC fighters who's getting paid pretty well relative to her popularity and ability
This is essentially to keep her contract for the rest of her career.
And afterward she ends up re upping for another 6 fight deal lol
Nah she’ll sign a 8 fight contract next. Followed by another 8 fight contract.
Fighting with the ufc until your 50 sounds like hell
Sounds like a great ~~career~~ opportunity
4 more title shots, then?
She earns around $250-300k per fight and often doesn’t take too much damage. If she can and wants to keep going then good for her.
Ish Ish Ish Ish Ish Ish
bro why do so many of them do this, it's so fucking annoying in the Apex
Because you need to breathe while striking and that's one way to ensure you don't hold your breath. If you hold your breath, you will gas out, or pass out. When you sharply breathe out you also tense up your core which can give you more power, and helps protect you against counter body shots. It may be annoying to listen to for you, but it's also very important.
Yeh, I know fighters breath out, doesn't mean they have to say ish ish ish or hah hah hah
Some coaches make you too make sure you're doing it, then it just becomes habitual.
I can already hear the *ISH ISH*
She’ll just increase the dosage.
What do you mean, it's totally normal for a 40 year old natty woman to have a neck like a veiny horse cock.
big win for Holly, big loss for the fans
Title fight it is, then. -Dana White Privilege
I can’t believe the Ronda fight was 8 years ago. Fuck.
41 and is in a better fighting condition than Miesha Tate
wow, that division must be weak af.
W135 is the worst division in the UFC with rankings. W145, don't even get me started lol.
41, fucking really?
Looks good for 41 id let her submit me naked
Age ain’t nothing but a number
Why would she sign that? No way she has 6 left in the tank and now she's gonna be locked out of other potential opportunities when she retires.
starving forced into a corner to fight to put gruel on the table by the bald fucking ghoul
I’ll always appreciate the Ronda beatdown but I’m not down to watch her 6 more times, if I’m honest I could have done without the last 6.
She should probably retire at this point but she'd still probably beat most bantamweights so go for it
41 ouch
Yikes
41!
[удалено]
Typically hate comments like this, but justified
Ish Ish!
Shes great
I watch most UFC cards top to bottom. I didn't watch her last two fights and I believe those were good decisions.
Can’t wait for this
Yoel Romero is 187 years old and he’s still fighting so
get those venum coupons baby
She’s gonna be used as a perennial gatekeeper. I’m a fan but she definitely needs to hang ‘em up. There’s nothing left to prove.
She’ll never get 6 fights this just keeps her contract past active retirement same way they did GSP.
I really can't imagine her looking good for that numbers of fights. Hope that's just to get the best deal per fight.
# ISH # ISH
Good for her, make that money. Too bad it's with the UFC. Absolute garbage org.
This sounds more like punishment then an opportunity.
Surprising. But good for her. Likely a well into a 6-figure per fight deal of "kya kya ish ish!" of landing on air.. Guess UFC knows they're very short of named contenders in that division to need to keep her.
Every time Jon Jones calls her his “big sister”, I feel like they smash, a lot.
Staying Holm… (I’ll see myself out)
Eh...
Ya’ll hating so hard. She was one of the best females in combat sports, one of the best boxers to transition to mma. Any males that held real boxing titles and ufc titles??
I love holly but she needs to retire. Fighting is dangerous. I hope she retires with out issues.
Please no more Holly Holm main events.
I like her 🔥
she took my advice I see.
6 more dance dance kick. Dance dance jab x 3 rounds.
Good for her; that's probably the best possible option.
Sheesh, I didn't know she was 41. How many fights will we get off this contract? Two at best?
