The Fight That Started Holly Holm’s Career

Before she was a UFC champion, Holly Holm was already fighting - in the classroom!

In this episode, Holly opens up about her very first fights growing up, including standing up to a perverted classmate and how that moment helped shape her fighting spirit. She shares the story of what inspired her to start boxing, and how her very first match - meant to be an exhibition - ended in one quick, explosive combo!

We also dive into how her family reacted to her entering combat sports, the meaning behind the nickname "The Preacher's Daughter," what it was like training at Jackson Wink alongside Jon Jones, and the biggest challenges she faced when transitioning from boxing to MMA!

If you're a fan of combat sports, grit, and origin stories - this is one you don’t want to miss!
