Fast forward to UFC Fight Night 111 and Holm is facing a must-win situation against former bantamweight top contender Bethe Correia.
How did Holm find her back against the octagon wall after humiliating Rousey, the once-“World’s Most Dominant Athlete”?
Holm appeared to be on her way to successfully defending her title against Miesha Tate until a mistake in the closing ticks rendered her unconscious on the canvas.
“The Preacher’s Daughter” looked to get back on the winning track against Valentina Shevchenko in her next outing, but laid an egg in a disappointing unanimous decision defeat.
Holm was then gifted a title tilt against Germaine de Randamie to become the UFC’s inaugural women’s featherweight champion.
