By FCF Staff

Following Holly Holm’s stunning  win over Ronda Rousey last November, the UFC’s bantamweight champ and her camp will be featured in an upcoming episode of “60 Minutes Sports”.

The following information was provided in a press release from Showtime:

Noted mixed martial arts journalist L. Jon Wertheim takes an in-depth and personal look at how Holly Holm, a barely known underdog, was able to knock out women’s MMA queen Ronda Rousey.  In the piece, Wertheim visits Jackson Wink MMA Academy in Albuquerque, N.M., the home of Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn.  Wertheim investigates how the world-renowned trainers helped guide Holm to victory last November and have established their once-unheralded outpost in Albuquerque as a mecca for some of the best MMA fighters in the world.

Wertheim’s report appears on the next edition of 60 MINUTES SPORTS, premiering Tuesday, March 1 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME.  Nathalie Sommer is the producer.

Holm is scheduled to fight Miesha Tate at UFC 196 on March 5th.
