Former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Holly Holm ended her losing streak in the UFC on Saturday.
Holm headlined a UFC Fight Night event in Singapore against former title challenger Bethe Correia.
During the first two rounds of the fight, little action took place between the two fighters. However, in round three, Correia began to taunt Holm. After being insulted, Holm threw a head kick that knocked out the Brazilian fighter.
This head kick knockout is similar to when Holm knocked out former champion Ronda Rousey to win the UFC title. Ironically, that was also her last win in the UFC.
Holm ended a three-fight losing streak on Saturday. She was coming off decision losses to UFC Women’s Featherweight Champion Germaine de Randamie and top contender Valentina Shevchenko. Her losing streak began when she lost her title and was submitted by Miesha Tate.
Many UFC fighters saw Holm’s knockout win and weren’t hesitant to share their thoughts on social media.

Feel like Holly could be using a jab to set-up a lot of her weapons, especially as a former pro-boxing champ. #UFCSingapore

The most terrifying thing for a fighter is not losing. It's freezing up & not fighting to your ability. It's awful. But fun to mock, right?
