She deserves everything and more so humble.

@@Irv350 cringe
@@Irv350 stop using this 2020 word please
@@Irv350 You're jealous lol
Mamas boy
Man her celebration after the win speaks soo much. shows her dedication and heart.
I absolutely love Holly Holm she is extremely inspiring.
Absolutely, I really hope she wins the belt again so deserving, she's different class as a person and as a fighter.
She looks extremely old
and hot
David Thomas I don't know if Holly has what it takes to beat Amanda, I dont think anyone could suggest that at this time, but I do think Holly is more than deserving of another chance to fight Amanda, which is what she wants as a competitor
Officially a fan. This girl has elite execution and heart. So legit. Such a fan
You must be a casual
lol she's always been like that
@@dcbeatsmarvel3627 perfect comment 😂
Yeah but if she loses you'll be gone just like every "fan"
Are you just now realizing this?? LOL
Seriously, she has been my fave for a while...
It was nice to her Holly say she needed to get that win for her coaches, who were away from family for 2 wks.
Tony McL oôoooooiooo
Holly Holm is amazing. She is talented, beautiful and the way she speaks is inspiring. Incredible interview.
beautiful? one day you're gonna find out holm and just about every other "female" fighter are all men. how so few people already realize this i have no idea, just look at their masculine facial features, it's pretty obvious. even rousey is a man, women don't have those huge jaws and necks, but people have been so dumbed down over the years they can no longer tell the difference.
@@Jack_80 That's the most stupid thing i read in a long time.
@@diggie9598 that's because you're one of the extremely dumbed down masses i mentioned. tv has somehow zapped all the common sense out of people. anyone with the slightest bit of common sense can see these are men, yet somehow so few are able to see it. go on drooling over these drags and their tree trunk necks.
So good to see ariel interview fighters again i miss the days every fighter would check in with him after weekend graft and that's why he's the no1 and its badly missed i been a ufc fan since ufc 21
Dc and helwani is a bit of fun but if you want ufc fun believe you me tick
If you want an athletes view bring back mma hour its what got him to the dance producers at espn dont kill the hen that lays the golden egg never mind trying to make dc something he aint individually they are class together class but mma hour is unique and vital to mma fans in Ireland we can't even buy espn
Thanks don't over produce something that needs no production let helwani flow you'll make billions and fighters and fans will love you for it 😀
Sshhh
bro learn to use punctuation
Dc ruined his show. Egomaniacal loudmouth
Huge Holly fan. I actually predicted she would beat Ronda way back when. I am not a gambler and didn't place a bet. I would like to meet her one day. She seems lovely.
Aldana was a very dangerous and risky match up. I must admit Holly surprised me with a dominant victory from the beginning to the end.
HH is the best! So talented and humble. We need more humans on the planet like her.
Honestly forgot how good and humble a person Holly is, represents fighters so well! Well don't to her parents and ofcourse Holly herself! Thank god you found River! What a cute dog!
best interviews in the game ariel !
Holly is gracious regardless of the outcome, should get respected for that reason alone beyond her skills & accomplishments.
Holly brought the pace, technique, and cardio. Amazing performance!
she's probably going to get title fight against stipe miicic if she wanted to
hahaha
@Eye Of The Tiger Stiopic عين النمر I dont think she beats nunes in rematch. but Im a big fan of hers. she is a great human being.
@Eye Of The Tiger Stiopic عين النمر nunes will whoop her badly and ko her again
Eye Of The Tiger Stiopic عين النمر henry “beat” dj
@Eye Of The Tiger Stiopic عين النمر she can but its not likely
gotta love holly holm, such a class act
Great interview! Love you Holly!
holly's a good fighter. she has a bright future in the UFC.
Or she gets hurt badly and never fights again. How could you possibly know?
I gained a lot of respect for her after seeing this... author of your own book , thats an amazing quote, 😎
I would like to see Holly win a championship before she retires.
Same, then she’ll be a TWO time UFC champ!
I would love that too. I am not so sure she is gonna take it from Nunes though....
But she did demolish Ronda Rousey when nobody thought she would.
She can beat nunez if she keeps on her toes and utilises those oblique kicks well and stays out of the clinch defo can outpoint nunez
Lot of gems here about life. Great interview
Holly is a goddess!!!!
She's one of the most likable fighter's that's still rockin'. Good show, Holly! 🤙
she is so nice ! great attitude Ariel needs to make a NMF belt for her !
Her last fight was fun with those mule kicks! I always look forward to her fights. Always fun and exciting fights from Holly.
Great to see Holly happy, does anyone knows which Izzy she is talking about?a bit confided, can’t be the style bender
Jo Fernandes her wrestling coach is named Izzy
Another great interview where Ariel is pushing the envelop of issues NOT normally discussed.
Holly Holm is Definitely NOT a Steppingstone! So Good to See Her Dominate that Fight! She’s Still Got a While Before She Even Thinks about Retirement! So Nice & Humble, Win or Lose!👍🏼👊🏼❤️
Speaks soft, hits hard
A saint in life and a demon in the ring
Lets go champ!
I think it's even better that she beat a high level striker!
But is she (Irene Aldana) a high level striker? Holly Out struck her handily.
Nope, I take it back. Aldana is a high level striker but Holly is better.
skee daone Aldana the boxer? She’s better at grappling??? LMAO
The fact you think possibly the best female boxer ever out struck a boxer is impressive says alot. It was way more impressive when shevchenko out struck holy being a much smaller woman.
Holly "The Author" Holm
She is such a sweet woman u can tell by just listening to her talk,she never,ever talks bad about any fighter 90% of the time. And much respect because holly was the first female big name that stepped up to fight cyborg when none of the other girls did until after holly faught her!!
Such a good interview with Holly. Ariel made her feel comfortable and he got real answers, not scripted posturing.
Holly deserves all the credit in the world for being such a humble great warrior
great job Holly
The fight this past Saturday I feel was not her most dominate win since the Ronda win. The Megan Anderson fight I felt was more dominate. If I remember correctly Holly nailed 50% of her takedowns and striking percentage was around 75% and that was from around 300 strikes.
I’m such a fan of her fighting style
Holly go get the belt back and retire at the top....
Jermaine then Amanda....
Agent get her paid the big bucks/big cards
Ride off into the sunset 🌇..
She loses to both again
she might beat Germaine but I don't see her beating Amanda
I love holly she got me into mma when she ended rouseys career and ended her run. I never thought she would lose to aldana but it comes to nunes there’s a difference between Run Enders and Career Enders. It will be a great fight in along time vs nunes but the outcome will be the same...
I don't think so. I still believe Holly is capable of beating Amanda Nunes. Always have, always will.
Matt heww outside of cyborg she is the only person that has a chance but the levels between nunes and her competition is big smaller with holly but nunes dominated her last like 10 fights. Defeated Holly, Ronda, Chris cyborg, and meisha within the 1 round... she has shown no decline at all and Holly is still good but near the end of her fight life this her last chance where nunes can go like she is khabib.
Love her so much, onto the next 💙👊🏼
Her smile talking about those takedowns :D she knows she's that girl
Holly's so cool!
She is fine
I'd say its better than the Rousey performance because Aldana is a better striker than Ronda and Holly's wrestling looked better than it did when she was stuffing all of Ronda's take down attempts.
Holly adds another Dimension - very exciting.
.
Wait hold on. Why does this not have the same amount of views as the other interviews?? Holly Holm will most likely be the first ever UFC and Boxing HOFer
Good point!! Good Author of your own book.. not the world, I like that 💜💜💜
Holly is a G. Classy
The Bethe Correia fight was the best victory since Rousey IMO.
👐🤲🦵🤯😴😆😆😆😂😂🤣
She is as real as it gets
Congratulations love you Holly
Love me some Holly Holmes. Always a class act.
So what no one is talking about is Irene injured her left foot badly in the first round!! Check our Aldana's fb page where she says she's not making excuses but apologized to her coaches for not being able to execute their plan. Then next day there are pics of Aldana's X-rays and in a foot cast after surgery. Just sayin! Aldana said she could only drag around her left foot. Makes me look at this fight a lot differently. Leaves me asking how was Holly not able to finish her?!
Holly rock keep doing what you are going
I like how he is only cheeky to the guys who deserve it :D
Pure class. A real lady.
GOD BLESS
I love this woman. So happy about her last performance. That was how I always felt she should fight. She was too into her boxing mindset. She needed to let go.
And boy did she..
That woman we saw can beat Nunes..
That woman didn't show up to her last title fight
She was throwing HEAT in the 5th and that speaks to her insane cardio.....nunes doesn't have that gas tank. I could see Holly using her wrestling and grinding out 3,4,5 in the rematch. 48-47 And New
Aldana didn’t look like herself she was too careful too hesitant but that’s not Holly’s fault congrats to her 💕
She should have gotten the fight of the night bonus. Her performance 100% deserved it.
I LOVE Holly she is an amazing fighter & very humble & easy going. She wud b a very easy going girl to date. She seems like real Cool.
If Wonderboy has the male NMF belt, Holly has to get the female title. So much care and compassion and respect for those around her. Still says Mr Winklejohn after all these years together, Oozes class and a GREAT fighter in multiple disciplines. My respect to Holly Holm
Holly the type of female when she takes off her shirt , she makes you look like her Girl friend.
I hope Holly gets a sponsorship from Nextdoor. I truly hate that app. Also I think Holly should be 1st ballot Boxing HOF.
Hey Beautiful! My hero! Your the best no matter what 🙏🏼
loving Holly right hand. straight fighter her hole life
Holly. Ur L💜VED here in burque and all over New Mexico and lm sure around da 🌎 ur da BEST to us and keep kicking A!! Hope u get another title shot soon and if not we L💜VE U and wish u da best God bless u and always keep u safe BADASS Girl 💜💞💜💕💜😎💜

' hungry Old Stubborn ' .... ✊✊✊
One of the best female UFC fighters Ever 💪🐐
she is pretty and developing into a very skilled fighter
Holly, nunes, schvshanko, and ribas lol. Are all good people it seems.
@stalker1979 thanks.
Holly looks incredible! 100 percent! She's a great fighter! So beautiful,and humble! She broke Rhonda Rousey! Amanda owes her apart of her title and money! Such a sexy voice!
Why has Holm not been cast as a superhero? Her physique and athleticism, they can find a role for her.
We miss MMA HOUR!
She is the best
HOLLY IS IN MY TOP 5 ALL-TIME
We now have "Morning" Holm
I love holly.
also she looks 60
Great fight Champ!!!!!!!
Class act great role model !
Holly rocks ~ consistantly..
NO, Holly should NOT get Nunes next. Definitely run GDR vs Holly again!!!
Ariel got held back in second grade, he was a bad listener and miss Johnson didn’t like him so she held him back. I felt so sorry for him because he was crying when we all went to the third grade class, he tried to walk in and mrs Johnson said sit down Waldo (I mean Ariel) you have to repeat 2nd grade (lol)
Grow up, you're not even remotely close to being funny.
Diggensagg I’m a free taxi for a looser faking an ssi claim, and deliver newspapers Ha ha ha
I married a rich guy and now I walk around like I built an empire, and everyone knows you just married a rich guy, you have no knowledge of anything g and no one listens to u
UFC Ripping this lady off financially, it shows you cant just be good at one thing. Shows how smart mcgregor really is.
What was that weird cut at 8:26 surely Holly didn't say anything worthy of being cut out? lol
She is looking even more ripped than ever.
Eat win achieve more go on
I swear Holly is almost the perfect woman sweet smart and talented
Shot out to Holly wish my kids mother were as reserved as Holly
He's right. she's one of best fighters for years. Amazing how wrestling give wins and she choke Armando Nunes next time
aldana chase her around like a skyrim enemy
Yeah but she circled away from Holly's power so it made sense to a certain extent. It wasn't like the boxer who fought Foreman and kept circling to Foreman's power until Foreman finally dropped him.
@@zeaferjones1404 i will watch that fight
@@scalz420 It was Foreman vs Moorer. Teddy Atlas told him not to circle that way but that dude kept doing it and Foreman eventually dropped him. I do think Miesha played it better. Although Miesha Tate will never be known for footwork her footwork against Holly was masterclass. She circled away from Holly's power for the most part but she also did little stutter steps and stuff the towards Holly's power just to throw off Holly's rythme.
She is my favorite fighter ! Man or female !
Such a dominant fight that I took a nice nap!
i want interviews to be 4d so i can smell holly holm
I see Holly Holm, I hit the LIKE button
Jones has gotta be pissed that Izzy is coaching Holly on Wrestling....
What a lovely woman.
Girl, get Germain back for that BS she pulled in 208...twice! Then go head kick papa nunes into infinity. (Kidding, Amanda is amazing...just a joke). Get em girl, love to see you retire with the belt.
GDR is gonna get her again😉 And you should look at the ref and judges for that "BS"
