Former UFC champion Holly Holm can now add boxing Hall of Famer to her long list of combat sports accomplishments.

“The Preacher’s Daughter” was inducted into the prestigious lot of the boxing 2022 Hall of Fame. The career bantamweight is known for her ability to strike and is now especially well known for her dynamic kicking inside the Octagon.

Holly Holm captured the hearts of MMA fans around the world after dethroning Ronda Rousey at a time where many believed Rousey to be unstoppable. Rousey’s Judoka ability constantly threatened her opponents, though the skill gap seemingly closed as Ronda Rousey’s career progressed through the years. She shook the world at UFC: 193 in Australia. Both combatants entered the contest undefeated but Rousey closed as a massive favorite in every sportsbook.

Like a bull and a matador, Holly Holm outmaneuvered Rousey and eventually found a home for her now-famous high kick. After knocking Rousey out unconscious, she made history. Frankly, her performance will live on for years to come given the impact that fight had on UFC history. Nevertheless, it’s her boxing skills that have earned her a spot in the Hall of Fame.

A post shared by Holly Holm (@hollyholm)

“I’m sure I’ll have more to say going forward as I am a little lost for words. I am truly humbled and so honored to be acknowledged with the greats of boxing. I couldn’t chase my dreams without such a strong support system. From my coaches, family, friends, management, teammates and fans. I am forever grateful and also even more motivated to achieve so much more in my life. I love combat sports as it will always be a part of who I am. It’s in my blood and I love it! From the bottom of my heart-Thank you!!!!” Holly Holm shared on Tuesday. 

At the 2022 induction ceremony Holly Holm, alongside Roy Jones Jr., Miguel Cotto, Regina Halmich, and James Toney will all receive the honor.

As one of the most prestigious honors in boxing, it’s a pleasant surprise to see Holly Holm receive the distinction. While the former bantamweight champion has been away from the sport for some time, it’s hard to deny her dominance and overall impact when she was an active competitor in boxing.
