Holm, as a +525 underdog on the day of the fight, was the fourth biggest underdog winner in UFC title fight history, trailing behind T.J. Dillashaw, Frankie Edgar and Matt Serra.^[1] Prioranalytics88 (talk) 03:23, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ronda rematch

I see that someone added Ronda Rousey as Holly Holm's next match, but I have not seen this confirmed anywhere. I removed it since it appears to be a recent addition, but certainly undo my correction if you have a source.

Swedish Descent

Where is the evidence that Holm is of Swedish Descent? Someone keeps adding that in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.197.140.43 (talk) 23:34, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That someone isn't me, but to me, it's obvious: She looks Swedish, and her name is Swedish - what more do you need? Who is the one who keeps pretending she is of predominantly Irish descent? That's pure nonsense! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4DD2:9C31:0:15A4:96A:9D1F:8F5C (talk) 21:30, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Locations of professional boxing fights

In the section "Professional boxing career," its says, "She is a big draw in her home town of Albuquerque, having all but 3 of her fights there and just one of her fights outside of her home state of New Mexico." However, the table titled "professional boxing record" lists 7 that haven't been in Albuquerque (6/21/02, 5/15/04, 4/14/05, 9/21/07, 2/7/08, 10/17/08, 8/28/09) and 3 outside of New Mexico (5/15/04, 2/7/08, 10/17/08). The page appears to be locked, so can someone with edit privileges correct it? 74.71.72.223 (talk) 06:47, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

27-1 Kickboxing Record

Where are the citations for her 27-1 record? That seems a bit high given the duration of her career. So she was a 6-0-2 amateur, and 8-1 as a pro? How is that 27-1? Amateur and pro are not supposed to be compiled into one record as well. Unless it's notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:AA31:A339:8C9D:FF8B:8F47:F654 (talk) 23:03, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The main picture in biography is very unflattering

Someone should change it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tantamle (talk • contribs) 17:06, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate photo

Some troll uploaded a full frontal nude picture of some random woman where Holm's picture should be.

This should be corrected.
