Holm grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with her three siblings. She attended Manzano High School where her love for wrestling began, but her parents discouraged the sport. Eventually, she settled for kickboxing. Her potential was discovered by her coach Mike Winkeljohn during one of her aerobics classes, and he began training her.
At the age of 20, in 2001, Holm won her first amateur fight in kickboxing in the IKF USA National Amateur Championship Tournament. The following year she became a professional boxer, and later that year, a professional kickboxer as well.
Due to her natural talent, Holm’s career progressed rapidly, enhancing her popularity and net worth. In 2005 and 2006, she was named by Ring Magazine as the female Fighter of the Year. In 2008, she dethroned Mary Jo Sanders and was named the undisputed welterweight champion. Although she suffered a loss in 2011 to Anne Sophie Mathis, she fought for a rematch and defeated her in 2012.
Although actively involved in professional boxing, since 2011, Holm has been competing in mixed martial arts fights. She debuted in March, defeating Christina Domke in the second round. In September, she won again against long-time MMA fighter, Jan Finney.
In 2013, Holm announced her retirement from boxing to focus on her career as a mixed martial artist, ending her boxing career with a victory against Mary McGee. She finished with a record of 33 wins, 2 losses, and 3 draws, and was an 18-time world champion, solidifying her position as one of the best female boxers globally.
In 2014, she signed a deal with the Ultimate Fighting Championship for five fights. Her first fight was in November against Raquel Pennington, whom she defeated via split decision. In 2015, she secured a victory against Marion Reneau via unanimous decision. However, her most significant fight was when she defeated bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey in November 2015. The fiercely contested event ended in a knockout in the second round, ending Rousey’s clean record of zero losses and dethroning her as the reigning champion after three years. Besides soaring fame, the match significantly increased Holm’s net worth, earning her bonuses for her “Fight of the Night” and “Performance of the Night” awards. It was also reported that Holm earned an estimated $1.5 million in pay-per-view earnings for the fight.
On the personal front, Holm has been married to businessman Jeff Kirkpatrick since 2012.
