5. Holly Holm Is One Tough Girl
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MvMx0fv9y4 In Holm's last fight before signing with the UFC, she defeated Juliana Werner at Legacy FC: Holm vs. Werner (yes, in the main event) via TKO in the fifth round. She also won the Legacy FC women's bantamweight championship. That she won the fight isn't surprising: Holm was expected to win, and the victory brought her to 7-0 in her career. The impressive part is that she broke her arm in the first round and kept right on fighting. Which tells you all you need to know about just how tough Holly Holm is. Thus far in her reign as Strikeforce/UFC women's bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey has been given the most trouble by girls who could really take some punishment, i.e. Miesha Tate, who was the first to take her out of the first round. That bodes well for a fighter like Holm.
