The legendary Holly Holm goes into action this weekend! This is how the 41-year-old veteran destroyed the star Ronda Rousey years ago

The legend is back! This weekend the UFC is hosting another tournament, unnumbered, but the names will be big. One of the biggest ever will be 41-year-old veteran Holly Holm. Recall how she shocked the MMA world.

Interesting news for fans of the American legend. Holly Holm may be 41 years old, but she is not going to quit combat sports just like that. And she’s not quitting the UFC either. On the contrary. According to Sherdog, she’s even signed a new contract.

She’s scheduled to fight six more fights in the world’s best organization. The next one will take place this weekend when she challenges the eight years younger Russian fighter Yana Santos at an unranked tournament in San Antonio.

Holm is a former bantamweight champion and has never been afraid of big challenges during her career. She last fought last May when she controversially lost to Ketlen Vieira on a split-decision.

Overall, the American boasts a record of 14-6, with three losses to no small legends. Amanda Nunes, Valentina Shevchenko and Miesha Tate can be mentioned.

However, she took care of her most famous moment on November 14, 2015. That’s when she took on the phenomenal Ronda Rousey, an undefeated star and fighter who changed the world of MMA forever.

Rousey was a huge fan favorite. Like Holm, she went into the bout without a single career loss. So at one, the winning streak had to end. And to everyone’s surprise, the former did.

Holm didn’t give Rousey a chance and destroyed her in two rounds. And she did it brutally. She shocked the world and created a huge shock or sensation. It was Rousey’s penultimate fight. After that, she couldn’t even beat Amanda Nunes, and then she never fought in MMA again.
