Holly Holm’s decade-long run in the UFC has come to an end.
On Monday, Holm’s agent Lenny Fresquez confirmed with MMA Junkie that ‘The Preacher’s Daughter’ would explore free agency for the first time since 2015 following an initial report from Ariel Helwani. According to Fresquez, Holm still had fights left on her contract but requested her outright release, which the UFC granted.
Holm, 43, burst into the Octagon in 2015 and picked up a couple of big wins over Raquel Pennington and Marion Reneu before securing her first shot at UFC gold.
