UFC CEO Dana White recently held a post-event press conference following UFC 300, where he commended Max Holloway's performance in the BMF title fight against Justin Gaethje and praised Alex Pereira's successful title defense over Jamahal Hill. White also announced the main events for UFC 302 and 303, with Conor McGregor set to make his return to the Octagon.
During the press conference, White shared his thoughts on Kayla Harrison's impressive debut, where she secured a submission victory over Holly Holm. White expressed his admiration for Harrison's potential in the UFC and suggested that Holm consider retirement, given her age of 42 and recent performance in the Octagon.
While Holm has faced setbacks in her recent fights, including losses to Harrison and Kaitlin Viera, she remains a respected figure in the sport. Following her defeat to Harrison, Holm took to Instagram to acknowledge her shortcomings in the fight and expressed her determination to return stronger.
Despite White's suggestion, Holm's defiant spirit and past accomplishments, such as her historic victory over Ronda Rousey, highlight her legacy in the sport. While speculation surrounds her future in the UFC, Holm's resilience and professionalism have solidified her status as a potential Hall of Famer.
As fans await news of her next move, it is likely that Holm will continue to compete in the UFC, with the possibility of exploring opportunities with other promotions depending on her contract status. The MMA community remains intrigued by Holm's next steps and eagerly anticipates her future fights.
