As former UFC women’s bantamweight champ Holly Holm points out, she didn’t really have a division before Ronda Rousey fought at UFC 157. It wasn’t until Rousey beat Liz Carmouche in 2013 that the promotion built the 135-pound class into a real division, and Holm eventually got the call that led to her dethroning the MMA star. Rousey (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) now could be retired , though she hasn’t said what her next step will be after a second straight loss. But Holm said when people question whether the new division she’s spearheading has any legs, they might want to wait a bit. “I know that right now, it’s the start of the division,” said Holm (10-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) of her inaugural women’s featherweight title bout at UFC 208 against Germaine de Randamie (7-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC). “But there are so many girls that want the opportunity.
