“I wish Amanda nothing but the best in her retirement. She is a champion who never shied away from anyone and fought against everyone who challenged her. Not many people can sit back and say, 'Yes, I stood up to everyone.' She fought them all. If she wants to come out of retirement, maybe that could happen. Not every fighter stays retired forever, right? But I feel like I’m one fight away from the title regardless,” Holm said.
Number three in the bantamweight rankings, Holm will face the Brazilian Mayra Sheetara in the main fight of UFC Las Vegas 77, which takes place this Saturday (15), and the winner of the clash can be confirmed in the next fight for the vacant title. At 41 years old, the American veteran has already beaten names like Ronda Rousey, Rachel Pennington, Megan anderson and Bethe Correira and has an MMA record of 15 triumphs and six setbacks.
