Fighters react to Holly Holm’s third-round knockout of Bethe Correia

Holly Holm knew her back was up against a wall after losing three straight fights in the UFC.

It had been a roller coaster ride for Holm after she became an overnight sensation with a second-round knockout against Ronda Rousey in 2015, but she failed to capture that same level of success in her past few fights.

Still, Holm had faced nothing but the best fighters in the world during that stretch so she knew that with a few minor adjustments, she could get back to the top of her division.

A third-round knockout against former title contender Bethe Correia definitely did the trick as Holm returned to form on Saturday in Singapore.
