Duda Yankovich is a favorite of the site as she has torn through her competition. But she took a brutal loss last month to Holly Holm, the undefeated champ.
Holly ‘The Preacher’s Daughter’ Holm is a former professional kickboxer and current IBA women’s professional boxing champion. A pro boxer since 2002, she was named the Ring Magazine’s female fighter of the year in 2005 and 2006.
Holm broke Yankovich’s nose in the second round and continued to pound her until the doctor’s stopped it for a tko in the fourth. Yankovich had no answer for Holm’s power and speed in this one. You can read a full account here
