After handing Ronda Rousey her first professional defeat to become the UFC women’s bantamweight champion in Nov. 2015, Holm suffered three straight losses, falling short against Miesha Tate, Valentina Shevchenko, and most recently Germaine de Randamie for the inaugural UFC women's featherweight title. Now returning back to 135 pounds to face Brazilian Bethe Correia at UFC Fight Night 111 in June, the decorated boxer believes she’s still in the mix for title contention despite her three-fight skid.
“Absolutely, I still feel like I’m in the mix,” Holm told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour.
