Holly Holm is Angry She Lost to Valentina Shevchenko
Holly Holm spoke with MMAjunkie following her loss to Valentina Shevchenko at UFC on FOX 20. Some highlights are below:
On her next fight: “Coming off a loss, all you want, I think, is just to get back in there. But here we are again. I think that I just need to take whatever opportunity comes. I still feel that way. A lot of people are asking about taking a fight (instead of waiting to rematch Rousey), but I don’t want to be known for one great fight. I don’t want to be known for a few great fights. I want to be known for doing a lot. I don’t want to be content with one performance. I want to do more.”
On Shevchenko’s performance: “I can’t say that I was surprised by anything – I just didn’t perform to the best of my ability and I didn’t leave it all out there. I had more to give for sure. I knew it was a close fight, but I knew I had to do more. I don’t ever want it to be a close fight. I don’t ever want it to be like that.”
On her loss: “I’m just angry, that’s all. Who wants two losses in a row? But what can you do? … It’s still onward up, it’s still forward.”
