Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm was likely just a minute and a half away from defending her belt for the first time in a fight against Miesha Tate at UFC 196. Holm fought off Tate who had a dominant second round and nearly secured a rear-naked choke submission on the only fighter to win world titles both in boxing and in the UFC. Holm ultimately lost in the fifth round when Tate was able to gain position and take Holm’s back again sinking in a deep rear-naked choke. Holm showed a never give up attitude without tapping and went unconscious due to the choke.
