Fans Predict Holly Holm Vs. Yolanda Vega – ‘About To Destroy Her’

Ex-UFC Bantamweight Champion Holly Holm boxes Yolanda Vega on June 28, as boxing fans gave their predictions.

Holm made her name in the UFC when she knocked out Ronda Rousey to win the UFC Bantamweight Belt. While she was unable to retain the belt in her next fight after losing to Miesha Tate, Rousey was never the same as she lost to Amanda Nunes before leaving the UFC. Holm had the chance to win the belt again but came up short against Cris Cyborg and Amanda Nunes.

Holm is not the same fighter, having lost three from her last four UFC fights. She is coming off a defeat against Kayla Harrison, as she left the UFC. Now, a switch to boxing could reinvigorate her career. Yolanda is undefeated with a 10-0-0 record. However, she only has one knockout to her name. All of her fights have been in her native Mexico, as she must beat Holm in her backyard of the States to come out victorious.

“I hate the nerves leading up to it. Every fight, it’s, ‘Why do I do this?’ That’s what makes the wins so great. You go through such a big challenge. People don’t understand what that’s like. We’re doing things that others can’t even fathom. How you feel leading up to it, after a victory – nothing has as much nerves, anxiety or excitement as this. That’s what I love about it. You’re feeling alive. I love that. “So to be in the Hall of Fame and come back and win would be huge,” Holm said
