Holly Holm’s career feels like a missed opportunity. After defeating Rousey, Holm went on to have a hit and miss career in the UFC.
Holm’s record wasn’t doing her any favors coming into tonight – she had just one win in the last two years and was 4-5 in her last 9 bouts.
Yet she headlined UFC Vegas 55.
In the main event, Holm battled Ketlen Vieira for five rounds.
Despite landing more strikes – Holm ended up losing the decision.

“One step forward, one step back is how it usually happens so we’ll see what happens” Holm capped off that performance.
