Holly has fought every single killer. Her resume, win or loss, is stacked. Nunes, Shevchenko, Rousey, Cyborg, Harrison, Pennington. Insane strength of schedule. Respect!
And she lost to them all mostly. She’s 42. Still hanging on. Shamelessly. Dana said it too. Retire. Nothing for her anymore….never getting a title shot again. Runs around the ring ….and had super boring fights. Her ONLY claim to fame was beating Rhonda…fine. Gave her that. But almost 10 years ago. Never won high level fights again since …..

Mad respect for Holly fighting that beast, Kayla. She took the fight when nobody else wanted it. Holly is freaking 42 and still fighting, that's crazy. I rather see her retire and be an analyst an calling fights but she earns the right to go out whenever she wants. She is graceful in wins as she is in defeats. True Legend of the sport.
I don't know if Holly would be a good analyst. I think she's taking 10 million punches of the head and her speech is a little bit slow and we don't want anyone to be unnerved while listening
@@decimated550 Yet we listen to Cormier who constantly makes mistakes and butchers fighters names. 🤣🤣🤣All those punches from Jones & Stipe he took got him sounding like gravel mouth Strickland.

@@Pillmanized 42 is old for a fighter. Once you turn 32 as a fighter your skills start to erode and slow down. Unless you live a clean life, then you can prolong up to about 38 but 42 is too old to be putting your body through training camps and punishment.
When ever I have a bad day I just look at Holly when she beat Ronda’s ass ~ still like Holly because she doesn’t back down regardless. I’m not sure I would have the opponent, I’m a man lol ~ Hats off to Holly and her family!
@@anthonymartinez4307 you must live a very sad life. Ronda achieved more than you ever will in life and Holly lost the title her next fight LOOK at that you sad bum
As a former resident of New Mexico, I'll say that I doubt that your fan-base lost any numbers at all, because we still love and appreciate how you represent us; classy lady with no comparison. On to the next one, Holly. We'll see you there.
It's all good holly, you're a champion with or without a belt, you're just a very humble and classy fighter, even though I lost my bet on you I'm still happy 80k every week from a digital platform😊😊
I like that Kayla said a prayer for you rather than running around the ring screaming, like other fighters do when they win. It showed that she is very emotionally mature.
@BlinkrBanana Yes, but fighting is different. It is not the same as scoring points in a basketball game. It is far more personal than that. Therefore, proper respect should be shown, to one's opponent. Jumping around and screaming during one's victory, Makes it look like the person finds enjoyment in someone else's suffering.
Hi, Holly. I met you at the ABQ airport in May of 2023. You were standing right behind me. I shuffled over and spoke with you very quickly. You were super nice to me. I think you exited the plane in Dallas, TX. Anyways, sorry to hear about your loss on Saturday night. Don't give up! Take this and become better. Still a fan in south central Kentucky. God Bless!
You see that beak too?🦤 Her face is very androgenized. I'm not sure it's even possible that she's not on something. Drug tested female bodybuilder aren't even that big and all they train for is muscle size.
Hey Holly, keep your head up. I have know doubt you will be back in contention sooner than later. You have the skills and the heart, and the grace of a true champion 🙏🏽💙🥊🏆🥇
You win some and you lose some. Holly Holm has had a great career. It is,amazing that she is,still competing at such a high level at the age of 42. A lot of athletes.can't do that.
I like how she made no excuses, but that she has an ego like all of us and that self questioning comes but like she says, self reflection. She's graceful and it's so refreshing to see fighters just accept it and move on. Much respected to her❤
The fight game was never meant to have people go undefeated. It was meant to have occasions of perfection cross paths with caught by a punch. That being said those who enter the ring/cage and do battle will enter the land of no promises and of the thousands that came and went only a few handfuls will be remembered as Legends. Holly has earned that status for some time now. Not to bad wouldn't you say. Best wishes Holly.
Im sure you feel the 'sting' of frustration, etc, and I know without doubt that you are much harder on yourself than anyone else. I also know that you are still climbing the proverbial mountain. Youll taste many triumphs on the journey to (what you consider to be) the summit of greatness and grace.. Still, for what its worth, any time im feeling down, I just watch the video of your fight with Rousey. Watching your long, recurved leg fly up and explode her head just continues to give me wings! Thanks for that, and the many victories coming to you in the future!!
You professional fighters have such a razor-thin margin for error that it is impossible for a layman like me to even comprehend! You have to deal with so much pressure. Hold your head up high Holly. We love you and what you represent. Thanks for inspiring everyone.
Yes , and higher dosage than holly, cause in judo you have gi, so less visible muscle. Kayla still use big dose when holly try to be careful with dosage
Sometimes you can train all you want but on the night it all goes out the window, you will be hard on yourself because you’re the ultimate pro , but you’re healthy and beautiful and an inspiration to all , BIG FAN of yours from London UK , bless you x
We love ya Holly. I live here and trained here in ABQ and I have ran into you a lot in person. You are a class act and true warrior. You are one of Burque's ambassadors for combat sports. A long way from just kicking and punching a bag on Meanual down from Clarks lady. You WILL be back I am sure of it! Self reflection is the best path to getting back in the game! You kickass! Best wishes.
I said something on one of Holly's other videos about how Ronda can't admit defeat and Holly shouldn't expect Ronda to admit defeat. Winners don't need to hear the loser admit the defeat, you have already won, why need to hear it? But after really listening to Holly and how humble she is, I have an incredible amount of respect for her. First, when she beat Ronda the first time I was awestruck. Then she continued on to keep just beating the hell out of everyone else. Just wow! And at 60 years old I know you can't just keep going forever in your sport, as much as you want to or feel you can, and stay the best. But you are giving it one hell of a go!!! Keep at it Holly, I am here for every minute of it, just never expect a loser to admit defeat, especially one who is not humble, like Ronda, that girl never deserved to be called a winner. You, are a winner.
Holly got ragged dolled the whole damn fight. The size difference was huge. A was astounded by the upper back, traps and shoulders of Kayla. The strength and power and explosiveness of Kayla Harrison was next level. It was not even close. I heard she had huge problems making weight. ......I would guess after rehydration, Kayla was 15 pounds heavier.
Have you ever considered switching camps like Roz, Nice, and Val at Shevchenko? They have continued to evolve, but it seems like Jackson's hasn't evolved at all since some of the main coaches left the camp. The only coach who was really great there was Chris and he has his own gym. I'd be training there because that's when you were truly dominant.
When Holm fought the judoka Rousey, she maintained distance and used her vastly superior boxing and kicking. Against the much larger and stronger Harrison, Holly's game plan was to ... clinch and grapple? With her fight IQ now, it's time for this legend to retire.
Her boxing was good against Ronda because Ronda's striking sucked. Holly's hands are not that good from being a champion in boxing. She couldn't knock out a flee with those hands. Amanda is not a pro boxer and she has better hands.
@@DrunkSince1973 Harrison's striking sucks. Maybe not as bad as Ronda's, but who would know, since Holm made no attempt to expose her. Normally fighters lose physical skills as they age, but the decline in Holm's fight IQ means it's time for her to retire. Unless she threw the fight for a ton of money. In which case, it's still time for her to retire.
@@DrunkSince1973 Oh, and no one in women's MMA has ever been close to Amanda's combination of power and accuracy. Not even prime Rose, nor Cyborg. Certainly not any version of Holm.
Ronda Rousey's issue was poor couching. Kayla Harrison trains at a real gym, and they send her into fights with actual game plans. Ronda Rousey trained with Edmond Tarverdyan, who is famously terrible. He just told Ronda she was unbeatable and set her loose with no strategy. Even during the Holly Holm fight, Edmond says "you're doing great" when she sits down between rounds. If Ronda had trained at a real gym and actually learned some fundamentals, she could have kept her run going longer.
Its heartbreaking. It drives me crazy that she lost to Mayra Bueno Silva for the same reasons. She's losing her confidence while in fight mode. Age plays a huge factor here.
No Holly, you don't like to self reflect, because if you did you would know that at 42 it's probably a good time to retire and start the next chapter of your life. (and this is coming from one of your big fans)
@@user-it3lx1mi9m no one said to stop what she loved. There are all kinds of ways to do what you love. But as a top 10 UFC fighter in there with killers her better judgement should tap her on the shoulder and tell her to follow Khabibs example. Retire. Go coach. Teach. Train. Do Commentary. Whatever.
@@user-it3lx1mi9m who told her not to do what she loved? You can do what you love without directly taking on the top ten most dangerous women in the ufc. You can Teach or Commentate or be a coach etc etc... and she could follow the example of other fighters who recognized that the window was closing, and protected their own health by being responsible enough to consider the truth.
42 years old is time to start thinking about retiring. Not just reflecting on this, but retirement. You just learned that a 33 year old will dominate you. Be at peace. Go retire.
@@ingrogies1Please ignore @afpitbull60 He is just mad at Holly because he is legally not allowed within 1000 ft of her after she caught him licking her used tampons in her trash can on the curb on garbage day.
@@andersd8956 She won a kickboxing championship in 2001. That's a fact. The idea that she beat soccer moms is quite literally the definition of an opinion...
Much respect Holly... it takes TONS of courage to do what you do... your heartfelt sincerity was evident. KUDOS to you, and may God bless you with a life filled with future success and happiness. 🥰
Holly your an inspiration to people everywhere! You again (with this video) show us your an amazing human being! Anybody can celebrate a win! It takes a true warrior to humble yourself in a loss, but not quit! Mad respect for you Holly! Your awesome! love you!
I LOVE her honesty. "She was the better fighter. Most will never say that. Great lady and ambassador for any sport. 'Humble thyself, and thou shalt be exalted.' Good example right here
All I know is that... 1. You win or lose with class EVERY TIME 2. You don't dodge anyone. You CONSTANTLY take on the best of the best. Your name is SEALED as one of the greats!!! Thanks for what you've added to women's MMA.
God I love who she is as a person. Solid inside and out. Good values, personal responsibility, great competitor and athlete, and physically attractive too. Congratulations for being a good person in difficult times.
I'm not heavily into MMA but I am a casual fan, but of all the modern day female fighters on circuit right now, Holly is a shining example on how to conduct oneself inside and outside the ring... A true inspiration to others.
These videos are the result of CHARACTER. Neither win or loss does not define her as her professionalism is still in the highest regard. Thanks for setting the example.
Big Respect Holly !! You are a OG in the Woman's UFC MMA and i will always pull for you in a fight ❤❤ Now that you and Kayla are finished fighting i will pull for Kayla in her upcoming UFC fights but at 300 my ❤was for OG Holly Holm!!!
I’m a fan of yours for many reasons win, lose, or draw. An awesome person to be looked up to by others. Now it’s about hunger for more, I think she does want it!
Holly, even though you were not victorious, this video is the best most respectful way you could have handled it. Also, the single most entertaining thing I’ve ever seen is you kicking Ronda Rousey’s ass. Or - literally - face. She was an arrogant snot before your match, and had a laundry list of excuses afterwards. Eternal BRAVOs for that.
As a man, it is impossible for me not to adore Ms Holly, as she seems so based, smart & genuine. I do pray she retires, before somebody kicks her head off, as that is usually how MMA goes if you push it for too long. With her smarts, she would make for an amazing coach, &/or a promoter for young fighters!
You are the best Holly. Will never forget, and am always touched , by those 1st 5 secs after defeating Rhonda, when you circled the ring, the happiness and gratefulness you displayed, then immediately showed respect to her, a woman who showed you none.
An honest discussion like this is a big part of what make Holly a true champion, win or lose. This makes me happy to be a Holly Holm fan, even if I would have preferred the win.
Now that is class in motion. A true professional speaking. Props to Holly Holmes nothing to be embarrassed about. She is world class fighter and just showed she a good sport even when losing.
one word that comes to my mind when I think of Holly.......CLASS!!! Your an inspiration for all ...not just fighters, but people in general...Godbless!!!🙏🙏🙏
She's clearly over the hill at this point and has been declining for a while, but you gotta love Holly's humility and just overall pleasant attitude. I love that she seems like she's perpetually a couple glasses of wine deep at a chill dinner party, she just seems like good vibes to be around haha.
I know the video was over a minute long- which can be a challenge for some to pay attention that long. She acknowledged that she didn’t execute the game plan. It happens sometimes when adrenaline and emotion takes over
Holly’s an absolute Pro and straight up class you are never a loser when you give it your best there is always another night . I agree with Holly self reflection is the best thing that happens after a loss I’ve gone through it and it made me better fighter and adult it will make her and anyone else with that outlook the same . The greatest thing about combat sports is that other than judging being out of your control you only have yourself to blame . Can’t wait to see you fight again Holly !
Knowing how to be graceful even when you lose, that's quite something.
Also denial can be pretty graceful too. The Holly state athletic commission probably would overturn the loss if you appeal
Something Rousey could never do.
Had I been selected to fight her opponent I would have fainted once the ref said let’s fight! Her opponent was a power house. No shame in loosing.
She says she is honest with herself?? If she was truly honest with herself she would retire!!
I like the preacher daughter--I'll just say she has a lucky husband AND yOU CAN'T WIN THEM ALL.
Ronda Rousey that's how you humbley except a loss

Its heartbreaking. It drives me crazy that she lost to Mayra Bueno Silva for the same reasons. She's losing her confidence while in fight mode. Age plays a huge factor here.
No Holly, you don't like to self reflect, because if you did you would know that at 42 it's probably a good time to retire and start the next chapter of your life. (and this is coming from one of your big fans)
Doing what you love doing for as long as you can is life
I think she's really stuck and she can't let go of this
@@user-it3lx1mi9m no one said to
stop what she loved. There are all kinds of ways to do what you love. But as a top 10 UFC fighter in there with killers her better judgement should tap her on the shoulder and tell her to follow Khabibs example. Retire. Go coach. Teach. Train. Do Commentary. Whatever.
@@user-it3lx1mi9m who told her not to do what she loved? You can do what you love without directly taking on the top ten most dangerous women in the ufc. You can Teach or Commentate or be a coach etc etc... and she could follow the example of other fighters who recognized that the window was closing, and protected their own health by being responsible enough to consider the truth.
@@user-it3lx1mi9m can still learn new martial arts she hasnt done much of, still train mma at the gym, and can coach mma.
Knowing how to accept a loss is more important than winning. That's why she is a winner and a real champ!
She never loses!
Your a legend your resume and class says it all...... God bless you
Class act~!!
42 years old
is time to start thinking about retiring. Not just reflecting on this, but retirement. You just learned that a 33 year old will dominate you. Be at peace. Go retire.
Fighting is for the young and the bold!
And this is exactly why you’re loved Holly! You’re an honest woman and a great fighter regardless of the loss! One of the best! ❤👍🏻
Im looking in your eyes full of pain and my heart hurts!! Holly, all our big fights are waiting for us!!
Unfortunately... When father time comes knocking, you must answer the door.
It's time to call it quits! You few seconds of success are over.
Few seconds? You mean the multiple world titles in boxing, kickboxing and MMA amounted to a few seconds of success?
@@ingrogies1 he obviously doesn't follow combat sports!. Holly is one the best !
@@ingrogies1Please ignore @afpitbull60
He is just mad at Holly because he is legally not allowed within 1000 ft of her after she caught him licking her used tampons in her trash can on the curb on garbage day.
@@ingrogies1 Can you even name one boxing or kickboxing opponent without Google?
@@andersd8956 She won a kickboxing championship in 2001. That's a fact. The idea that she beat soccer moms is quite literally the definition of an opinion...
Very Grateful much respect to you. you are always a winner ❤ from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Much respect Holly... it takes TONS of courage to do what you do... your heartfelt sincerity was evident. KUDOS to you, and may God bless you with a life filled with future success and happiness. 🥰
Love ya! You’ll come back & make us proud. Your a great role model!
Holly your an inspiration to people everywhere! You again (with this video) show us your an amazing human being! Anybody can celebrate a win! It takes a true warrior to humble yourself in a loss, but not quit! Mad respect for you Holly! Your awesome! love you!
So humble we will be here for your next fight like always
Holly!! Always love watching your fights!! Keep your fire burning inside!! You Rock!!♥️😎👍
great fight,good video and humble.
I LOVE her honesty. "She was the better fighter. Most will never say that. Great lady and ambassador for any sport. 'Humble thyself, and thou shalt be exalted.' Good example right here
I love the little jab she gave to Ronda…” I’m one to reflect and not run” lol awesome
All I know is that...
1. You win or lose with class EVERY TIME
2. You don't dodge anyone. You CONSTANTLY take on the best of the best. Your name is SEALED as one of the greats!!! Thanks for what you've added to women's MMA.
You are always a Champion belt holder.
You are a beautiful fighter, and it is always a joy to hear your name.
Graceful. Sportsmanship. Respect.
God I love who she is as a person. Solid inside and out. Good values, personal responsibility, great competitor and athlete, and physically attractive too. Congratulations for being a good person in difficult times.
You are an adorable and humble lady! My heart is broken. It was painful to watch the fight. I admire your path of warrior! Stay strong! God bless you!
You are growing ❤
I'm not heavily into MMA but I am a casual fan, but of all the modern day female fighters on circuit right now, Holly is a shining example on how to conduct oneself inside and outside the ring... A true inspiration to others.
Your all class and one of my favorites, God bless.
These videos are the result of CHARACTER. Neither win or loss does not define her as her professionalism is still in the highest regard. Thanks for setting the example.
Big Respect Holly !! You are a OG in the Woman's UFC MMA and i will always pull for you in a fight ❤❤ Now that you and Kayla are finished fighting i will pull for Kayla in her upcoming UFC fights but at 300 my ❤was for OG Holly Holm!!!
Holly Holmes. Most gracious. Very humble. Genuine heart. A true champion.
Looking forward to your next fight
I’m a fan of yours for many reasons win, lose, or draw. An awesome person to be looked up to by others. Now it’s about hunger for more, I think she does want it!
Holly, even though you were not victorious, this video is the best most respectful way you could have handled it. Also, the single most entertaining thing I’ve ever seen is you kicking Ronda Rousey’s ass. Or - literally - face. She was an arrogant snot before your match, and had a laundry list of excuses afterwards. Eternal BRAVOs for that.
Love you and your incredible sportsmanship and talent! God bless you
As a man, it is impossible for me not to adore Ms Holly, as she seems so based, smart & genuine.
I do pray she retires, before somebody kicks her head off, as that is usually how MMA goes if you push it for too long.
With her smarts, she would make for an amazing coach, &/or a promoter for young fighters!
We've loved watching you
The highs and the lows...
Chin up
You are the best Holly. Will never forget, and am always touched , by those 1st 5 secs after defeating Rhonda, when you circled the ring, the happiness and gratefulness you displayed, then immediately showed respect to her, a woman who showed you none.
Very gracious, humble, & professional. That’s how to treat a loss. WTG Holly, you are beauty-n-brains & plenty of both❤
Good luck with your future endeavors!!
WHAT A CLASSY GAIL !! Unlike so many others that don't know that where they put their feet is called ground !!!..
Holy is a true OG, a soldier of the game, she gets respect 🫡. Only the most capable people in this world can have her skills yet be so humble.
I've always followed Holly not just for her fighting capabilities but she is the most honest and humbled fighter out there.
An honest discussion like this is a big part of what make Holly a true champion, win or lose. This makes me happy to be a Holly Holm fan, even if I would have preferred the win.
You’re a class act!!! There’s a lot of people who need to be more like you!!!!!! Total respect from Canada!!!
Now that is class in motion. A true professional speaking. Props to Holly Holmes nothing to be embarrassed about. She is world class fighter and just showed she a good sport even when losing.
Holly Holm is a genuine class act IMO. Zero excuses, respectful,gracious & humble regardless of the outcome
Girls been knowing to submit you since day 1. It was just another event watching you get subbed again.
Your an inspiration with respect and dignity that's a win that will be forever yours😊
one word that comes to my mind when I think of Holly.......CLASS!!! Your an inspiration for all ...not just fighters, but people in general...Godbless!!!🙏🙏🙏
What a classy lady I always liked her hard work and dedication to whatever she does,thanks and good luck kido
She's clearly over the hill at this point and has been declining for a while, but you gotta love Holly's humility and just overall pleasant attitude.
I love that she seems like she's perpetually a couple glasses of wine deep at a chill dinner party, she just seems like good vibes to be around haha.
I know the video was over a minute long- which can be a challenge for some to pay attention that long. She acknowledged that she didn’t execute the game plan. It happens sometimes when adrenaline and emotion takes over
We still love your spirit and your abilities. VERY PROUD of what you've accomplished...... ESPECIALLY....the day you knocked the crap out of Rousey 👍
Holly’s an absolute Pro and straight up class you are never a loser when you give it your best there is always another night . I agree with Holly self reflection is the best thing that happens after a loss I’ve gone through it and it made me better fighter and adult it will make her and anyone else with that outlook the same . The greatest thing about combat sports is that other than judging being out of your control you only have yourself to blame . Can’t wait to see you fight again Holly !
We love you Holly LOVE YOU! Graceful and humble. Even in a loss your kind soul shows out. Chin up
You're a fearless warrior win or loose love your fighting spirit, always a fan.
This is sportsmanship at its finest. The rematch will be a banger
