Holly Holm admits she was listless in her July loss against Valentina Shevchenko, and it wasn’t necessarily because she was surprised by anything her opponent did. Holm dropped a unanimous decision that put her behind the 8-ball for the time being in the women’s bantamweight division, strictly because she didn’t perform well.
That’s what the former bantamweight champion admitted on Monday, along with the fact that she broke her hand during the fight. She also made it very clear that one had nothing to do with the other.
"I didn’t watch the fight, but if I had to put a guess on it, I’d say [I broke it] the fourth round," she said during an appearance on The MMA Hour.
