Holly Holm not contemplating retirement any time soon: ‘I’m still ranked right up at the top for a reason’

Holly Holm can’t say she’s never doubted herself.

The former UFC bantamweight champion, who crossed over to mixed martial arts after an accomplished career in boxing, has faced the ups and downs of a combat sports career that stretches back over 18 years.

During that time, Holm has reached the highest highs including her stunning knockout over Ronda Rousey as well as suffering through the lowest lows like the time she was brutally finished by Anne Sophie Mathis in boxing. Through it all, Holm has learned to persevere while understanding that she can’t allow herself to be defined by any win or a single loss on her resume.
