Morning Report: Holly Holm doesn’t want her career defined by Ronda Rousey win

When Holly Holm knocked out Ronda Rousey at UFC 193, not only did she derail the biggest star in the sport (at that time) in devastating fashion, but she also claimed the UFC women’s bantamweight championship to fulfill her goal of becoming the first person to win titles major titles in both boxing and MMA. But after a rough 2016 which saw her lose the belt and her next fighter, Holm has a new goal: become the first woman to win belts in multiple divisions in the UFC. She’ll get to try this weekend when she fights Germaine de Randamie for the inaugural UFC women’s featherweight belt

Speaking with FOX Sports recently, Holm discussed her upcoming fight and explained that her desire to challenge for this new belt is, in part, because she wants to get out from under the shadow of her previous accomplishment.
