Holly Holm didn’t exactly plan on a career fighting at featherweight in the UFC, but when the opportunity was offered for her to compete for the inaugural title at 145 pounds she was quick to accept.
Holm faced Germaine de Randamie to crown the first ever women’s featherweight champion back in February at UFC 208.
After five hard fought rounds, Holm ultimately fell to de Randamie by decision, but the end didn’t come without some controversy. Not only did Holm believe she did enough to earn the victory based on the judges’ scoring, but arguably de Randamie’s most damaging punches both came after the final bell had sounded in two separate rounds.
