Holly Holm Announces End of Fighting Career

Holly Holm is nearing the end of her combat sports career, with the former UFC champion revealing she has only one or two more fights left.

The 41-year-old Holm, who lost to Stephanie Han in a boxing match last weekend, gave a rough timeline for her retirement during an appearance on "The Ariel Helwani Show".

Holm hasn't competed in MMA since UFC 300, where she suffered a second-round submission loss to Kayla Harrison in April 2024.

Holm's decision to retire is significant, as she has been a prominent figure in the UFC and boxing worlds for over a decade.

And with her experience and skill, her final fights are expected to be highly anticipated events.

Holm confirmed that she wants her last fights to be big ones, whether in MMA or boxing, and is looking for opponents that will give her a challenging and exciting matchup.

But for now, the focus is on her upcoming fights, with Holm looking to go out on a high note.

The Jackson-Wink MMA standout has gone 1-2 in boxing and also competed in wrestling under the Real American Freestyle banner.

So, fans can expect an exciting conclusion to Holm's career, with the former champion giving it her all in her final fights.

Holm entered MMA in 2011 as a multiple-time world champion in boxing, winning her first nine outings and setting the stage for a successful career.

As she nears the end of her career, Holm's legacy as one of the greatest female fighters in UFC history is secure.

With a career spanning over a decade, Holm has faced some of the toughest opponents in the sport, including Ronda Rousey and Cris Cyborg.

And though she may be retiring soon, her impact on the sport will be felt for years to come.
