June 17, 2017 | Posted by Larry Csonka

– Following his UFC Fight Night 111 victory over Bethe Correia, Holly Holm spoke with the media (via mmajunkie.com), here are the highlights…

On Her Game Plan: “The game plan was not to rush anything. We knew the crowd might boo; it’s the type of game plan the crowd might boo.”

On Waiting to Pick Her Shot: “As soon as I heard it, I just thought, ‘You know what, I’m the one in here fighting. I’m going to stick to the game plan, and I’m going to pick the right shot.’”

On Correia’s Taunting: “If I was training to fight me, I’d be like, ‘OK, she has a left kick. Let’s watch out for it,’” Holm said. “It’s one of those things, just that competitive side of me that thinks, ‘You know it’s coming, but I still want to hit you with it.’ The taunting doesn’t do anything to me. That’s never affected me in any fight I’ve ever had. My whole plan was to stick to my game plan.”

On What’s Next For Her: “As far as what’s next for me, I see a beer and some french fries, and a beautiful view over Singapore at the hotel.”
