Holly Holm came up short a third time with UFC gold on the line this past weekend (Sat. July 6, 2019).

“The Preacher’s Daughter” was knocked out in the second round of her 135-pound title bout against Amanda Nunes in the co-main event of the UFC 239 pay-per-view (PPV). To make matters worse, Nunes finished Holm with her own signature head kick. The same kick she used to dethrone Ronda Rousey back in 2015.

Shortly after the defeat, Holm had suggestions from the likes of UFC President Dana White to consider retirement from mixed martial arts (MMA) competition. However, given her recent comments, it doesn’t sound like the 37-year-old is done fighting just yet.

Speaking on Instagram recently, Holm said she’s still “pushing forward”:

“I always say I get to live the life of a dream. I never actually dreamed of getting kicked in the face, that’s never part of my dream. That’s like on the nightmare part, living a little nightmare, wake up every morning like, ‘Yup, that’s real, that just happened.’ But I just want you guys to know I’m feeling good and I know one thing: I’m still pushing forward.”

Holm thanked her fans for the recent support before closing out with a joke:

“A lot of heartbreak right now, but I’m doing fine, I just want you guys to know I appreciate the love and support. And if you would like to have free lip filler, just get kicked in the face.”

What do you think about Holm’s comments following her loss to Nunes?

Henry Cejudo is on top of the world at the moment. “Triple C” comes off a TKO victory over Marlon Moraes to capture the vacant 135-pound title.

Now, Cejudo reigns as both the UFC flyweight and bantamweight champion of the world. However, due to an injury he suffered during the fight, Cejudo will be out-of-action for the remainder of 2019. As he sits out, Cejudo plots his return fight which will likely take place in the first quarter of 2019.

Speaking to TMZ Sports, Cejudo revealed he’d like to go after a third title, fighting the winner of Max Holloway vs. Frankie Edgar for the 145-pound title at UFC 240:

“I think for me, it’s not necessarily – I don’t want to be the best UFC fighter of all time,” Cejudo said. “To me, I feel like I’m the greatest combat athlete of all time. If I had my choice, I would like to go after a third belt, and I feel like a good fight for me would be against the winner between Frankie Edgar and Max Holloway. But I would really want to fight Frankie Edgar because I know his stature, his height – and I want more gold. I want to add more gold to me resume.”

Cejudo is a prizefighter, meaning he’s willing to fight anyone inside the Octagon for the right price. That offer extends to dominant female champions Amanda Nunes and Valentina Shevchenko. Nunes reigns as the UFC women’s bantamweight and featherweight champion, while Shevchenko reigns as 125-pound champion:

“Like I said man, I’m taking anybody from 99 pounds to 149 pounds. And you know what? If Amanda Nunes wants to get it too – Valentina [Shevchenko], I’m calling you guys out too. I take no prisoners!”

Obviously, the UFC would never sanction a fight between a man and a woman inside of the Octagon. However, when asked if he’d participate in a grappling competition against someone like Amanda Nunes, Cejudo says he’s down:

“Why not?” Cejudo asked. “Why not? We’ll do an exhibition for free, man. I would love to do that.”

What do you think about Cejudo’s aspirations for a third title?
