Holm’s “seminar” took place during an interview with the program “The Herd”, shown on Ultimate’s partner channel “FOX Sports 1”. "I want you to show me, but remember, I said you're beautiful and amazing, there's no reason for you to be hard on this, I'm not challenging you," said presenter Colin Cowherd.
While demonstrating the blow, Holm also said that he really likes the side elbow aimed at the chin. However, the champion recalled that the blow, despite being more powerful and plastic, is also more risky and can leave her quite exposed if she doesn't hit her opponent. Therefore, Holly also presented, as an alternative, a sparking elbow, aiming to hit the face.
