Albuquerque’s own. Boxer, kickboxer, UFC bantamweight champion.
Holly Holm is from Albuquerque. She came up in this city’s gyms, boxed, kickboxed, and in 2015 won the UFC bantamweight title in Melbourne.
She has spoken about a Westside childhood and a father who preached. The public record is the fighting and the way she carried herself after the big night: calm, exact, from here.
She is living. This page is an independent tribute. It is not an endorsement, not a biography she approved, and the picture is a gym, not her face.
Independent tribute to an Albuquerque hero. Not affiliated with the person, the family, or any team or foundation that carries the name. We don’t use their photograph. See a mistake? Write dukecitylegends@gmail.com.
