I’d see people being really successful, whether it was my teammates or big-name fighters like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, and I’d think, ‘I want to be a legend like that.’ Holly Holm Read Quote
I’m always open to suggestions. I’m open to opportunities. Whether I take them or not, I don’t know. And I would only take them if I weren’t training, if I didn’t have a fight scheduled. I really want to keep my focus on fighting. That’s where all these doors are opening up from anyways. I don’t want to lose sight of that. I love fighting. Holly Holm Read Quote
When people are self-entitled for no reason, just with anything, that bothers me. It’s like waiting for someone to cross the road, and they walk slower because they know you’re waiting. I like all the credit due in the places that it’s supposed to be due. Holly Holm Read Quote
There’s a lot of criticism in this job and what we do. It’s in front of everybody and for everybody to have their own opinion about what we do. Don’t be in this position if you can’t handle that criticism. Holly Holm Read Quote
When I don’t have a fight scheduled, training is even more fun. I can come into the gym and work on stuff that isn’t generated for a specific game plan. I can just play around with it and have a good time. I never want to get to the point where I’m sick of it. Holly Holm Read Quote
I started doing MMA and boxing at the same time – I always wanted to try an MMA fight to see what it was like. I had one fight, and I was hooked. Holly Holm Read Quote
There’s a ton of nerves for every fight I’ve been in; it doesn’t matter if it was my debut. Holly Holm Read Quote
There’s no single person on this planet that’s worth more than the other. Know your worth. Be confident in yourself. Holly Holm Read Quote
Some people feel stronger in their 30s. I’m 34. I’ve noticed I do feel stronger now than when I was 24. But I’m also more sore in the mornings. If I have a bump or a bruise from practice, it takes me a little bit more than just an ice bath to get rid of it. At the end of the week, my body’s ready for a day off. Holly Holm Read Quote
