Holly Renee Holm-kirkpatrick

Holly Holm is a unique athlete who managed to become the owner of champion titles in both boxing and mixed martial arts. The girl's colleague John Jones called her the greatest female fighter, and looking at Holm's achievements, one has to admit that he was right.

Holly Renee Holm-Kirkpatrick (nee Holly Renee Holm) was born on October 17, 1981 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but raised in the nearby village of Bosque Farms. The girl owes her nickname the Daughter of the Preacher to the profession of her father, who served as a preacher in the Church of Christ. Holly's mother, Tammy, worked as a massage therapist. The family has its roots in Ireland and Sweden.

The girl was the youngest of 3 children - she has 2 older brothers, Brian and Weston. As a teenager, Holly became interested in sports: she played football, did gymnastics, swimming and diving.

Shortly before Holm graduated from high school, her parents divorced. After receiving secondary education, the girl entered the University of New Mexico, where she studied for 1 year.

The first martial art that Holly mastered was kickboxing. The girl began to engage in it thanks to a cardio kickboxing instructor, who saw fighting potential in Kholm. In September 2001, she took part in the International Kickboxing Federation Amateur Championship held in Kansas City. There, after two welterweight fights, she won her first champion title.

The next step in her combat biography was boxing, in which the athlete also achieved significant success. In addition to the official titles, she was named one of the best female boxers in the history of the sport. In 2008, Holly became the welterweight champion by defeating former titleholder Mary Jo Sanders. The subsequent rematch ended in a draw.

On December 2, 2011, Holm entered the ring against Frenchwoman Anne Sophie Mathis. Luck turned away from the girl, and Mathis beat her badly, and, despite the cruelty of Holly's rival, the referee did not intervene in what was happening. The match was called the disappointment of the year, but in 2012 Holm took revenge and restored the status quo, winning an unconditional victory over her rival.

The debut fight in MMA took place on March 4, 2011, Holly's rival was Christina Domk. The fight ended with Holm's victory by TKO in the 2nd round. In the fall, the girl continued to fight in mixed martial arts and again won a victory, this time over the experienced athlete Ian Finney.

In 2013, Holly competed in Bellator MMA, where she fought Katie Merrill. The victory was again won by technical knockout in the 2nd round. After that, Holm announced that after the match with Mary McGee, she would leave boxing and continue to engage exclusively in MMA. The boxing career ended with a victorious fight, and Mary became the last athlete Holly defeated in this sport.

On July 13, 2013, Holmes fought Alanna Jones in Legacy Fighting Championship 21, who was knocked out in the 1st round. The next victory was the technical knockout of Nikki Knudsen, and at the end of the year in Fresquez Productions: Havoc Holly, by the decision of the judges, defeated Angela Hayes in the ring.

In the spring of 2014, Juliana Werner became a rival of the athlete - both of them fought for the Legacy FC welterweight title. The victory remained for Holmes, although it was not easy - in the 1st round she broke her left arm.

On July 10, 2014, Holly signed a 5-fight contract with the UFC. She was expected to hold her first fight in her new capacity in November against Raquel Pennington, but the fight had to be postponed due to Holmes's injuries. The fight took place in February 2015, and although the opinions of the judges were divided, Holly still won the victory. The next opponent was Marion Reno, and on July 15, 2015, the fight ended in Holmes's favor.

A huge achievement of the athlete in the bantamweight division was the victory over Ronda Rousey. In the 2nd round, Holly knocked out her opponent with an accurate kick, interrupting her 3-year streak of victories and sending her to a hospital bed. Taking the title away from her rival, Holm became the first person in the history of martial arts to win both boxing and MMA championships.

However, the very first title defense failed - Misha Tate defeated Holm on March 5, 2016 in the 5th round. The next fight with a native of the Kyrgyz Republic Valentina Shevchenko also ended not in favor of Holly - after the 5th round, the judges unanimously declared Valya the winner.

In 2017, the athlete decided to try her hand at featherweight and took part in UFC 2008. Germaine De Randami, who fought very tough, fought against her. At the end of the 2nd and 3rd rounds, the opponent continued to beat Holly even after the signal to end the 5-minute. The referee never stopped this, which ultimately led to the defeat of Holm.

After that, she returned to the lightest category (with a height of 172 cm, the athlete's weight is 61 kg) and fought with the Brazilian Beth Correia. This fight went much better - Holly knocked out her opponent in the 3rd round. After that, she again tested her strength in featherweight. On December 30, 2017, she fought with Christine Justino, as in the first experiment, she was defeated. Holly won the new weight category only on June 9, 2018, defeating debutante Megan Anderson by decision of the judges.

Holly is very close to her family and often interacts with her brothers and parents. The athlete's father supports all her endeavors and for many years during the battles she is waiting for her daughter in the corner of the ring. Mother is not so calm about martial arts, and most often she is not seen at Kholm fights.

By religion, the daughter of a preacher is, of course, a parishioner of the Church of Christ. In 2012, the athlete's personal life changed: Holly was married to Jeff Kirkpatrick. Like Holm herself, her husband is from Albuquerque. The couple has no children yet.

In 2016, the athlete tried herself as an actress - she played the main role in the film "Fight Valley", but the picture did not have a success and has an extremely low rating on the IMDB website.

Information appeared on the network that Holly received the first injury in her career - she injured her knee. Because of this, according to information from open sources, the athlete had to go to surgery, which made it impossible for her to fight until the end of 2018.

To please fans, the woman maintains an account on Instagram. Now there regularly appear fresh photos of Holly. Fans can see her both during training and during rest, and even with opponents in the octagon outside the perimeter, these pictures are extremely peaceful.
