Holly Holm is known for her knockout of Ronda Rousey at UFC 193, but the women’s bantamweight champion has gotten the chance to show her sparkling personality in the months following the title win.
And the love she has shown has been reciprocated by fans.
At UFC 194 in December, she was selected by the UFC for its Q&A session before the weigh-ins. During the event, the Irish-heavy crowd serenaded her with Frankie Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You.” But at the UFC 196 open workouts, it was Holm who brought the music to the fans.
She invited a young fan to the stage and proceeded to teach her some classic dance moves.
These humanizing moments should make everyone feel good, especially the young girl who Holm brought to the stage. They also go a long way to help create a new generation of fans as they watch Holm reach stardom while wearing gold.
In the midst of a war of words between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz, here is Holm offering some levity and good feelings. She will hope to keep the positivity going on Saturday when she defends her title against No. 2-ranked contender Miesha Tate in the UFC 196 co-main event.
