We had a viewer of the video disagree with our assessment of Holm and her UFC outlook... he posted a comment stating that Holm has fought top competition, so I replied with some info on Holly Holm's MMA career thus far :
Thanks for the comment TruthfullyRude.
I'm a fan of Holm, but my fandom doesn't cloud my perspective on reality.
You need to take a second, and maybe even a third look at who Holm has fought to date in her MMA career... the list to date is by no means impressive, and the only real test so far has been her last fight against Juliana Werner who was 7-3 when they were matched-up.
The others had records of 6-6, 2-1, 2-2, 1-0, 8-9, and 4-1... so we obviously have a vast difference in what we define as top competition.
I made a graphic for you so you can check it out without too much research :
All of the fighters we mentioned as potential opponents for Holm are all in the top 15 UFC women's bantamweight rankings.
As of the day of the show, here are the UFC WOMEN'S BANTAMWEIGHT RANKINGS :
