There was an enjoyable night of action in the UFC last weekend, as there was a monumental win for Holly Holm over Irene Aldana. It was a huge night for Holm on Fight Night, as it is the first time since her landmark win over Ronda Rousey that she has won consecutive fights.
Holm was in control of the fight from the opening round, and was able to improve her record to 14-5 with the unanimous decision victory. Aldana came into the fight is excellent form, but Holm’s experience and quality was telling in the end.
UFC News: Dominant Win Could See Title Opportunity
MMA fans were delighted to see Holm back to near her best in the fight. Holm’s dominance in the bantamweight division was called into question before the fight, with some even predicting that her time in the UFC was coming to an end.
However, her refusal to be a stepping stone for emerging talents means that she could be best placed for a title opportunity. Holm’s win wasn’t the only huge success on the card, as there was also a big win for Carlos Felipe in the co-main event.
Felipe had been in excellent form heading into the fight, and he showcased his best form once again to improve his record to 9-1. Yorgan De Castro had no way to combat the dominant performance for Felipe, and that defeat means that his record is now 6-2.
