Is Holly Holm done with MMA?
This seems like a move Holm is probably happy with. She got her start as a boxer, winning multiple titles before moving to the UFC.
“Gosh, I mean, in a perfect world, I’d do both [MMA and boxing].” Holly Holm stated to Ariel Helwani in January , when asked what’s next after parting ways with the UFC. “If I can [do both]. I’d like to have another fight for MMA, and another fight for boxing. I mean, yeah [one in each], I think that would be awesome.”
“I think, I still want to, gosh when I go for runs and picture things I want to do, I want another head kick knockout,” Holm added. “You can’t do that in boxing. Then, I also think, man it would be really cool to go and fight for a fourth-weight division [title] in boxing. So, why not? I think of both things, pretty much down the middle. I mean, maybe I lean towards MMA first, but I don’t know, I want to see what opens.”
Holm, now 43, will have a solid welcome back to the ring on the Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. undercard. Her opponent, Yolanda Vega, 29, sports a 10-0 record.
