Holly has already had three MMA fights, winning all three via TKO, she will now look to continue that success with Legacy FC.

Here is what Legacy FC president, Mike Maynard, had to say:

“We are extremely excited to have someone as talented and of such strong character as Holly,” Maynard also said. “We believe she embodies what Legacy is all about.”

Considered to be one of the best female boxers ever, Holm built up a solid record of 33-2-3 during her 12-and-a-half year career. The 31-year-old competed against world champions, ranging from the light welterweight (140 lbs.) through light middleweight (154 lbs.) divisions.
