It looks like Holly Holm’s remarkable and lengthy run with the UFC has come to a close, as it’s being reported that the legend has parted ways with the promotion.

The now 43-year-old Holm (15-7) joined the UFC back in 2015, following her decorated career as a boxer and kickboxer. According to a recent report from Yahoo, Holm’s agent, Lenny Fresquez, has confirmed they requested the UFC to release the former bantamweight champ and that request was granted. Other sources are also confirming her release.

Fresquez also reported that Holm is open to opportunities in both MMA and boxing. The New Mexico fighter had two fights left on her UFC deal before her release.

Holm’s UFC run will always be best remembered for her stunning, headkick knockout of superstar, Ronda Rousey, in 2015.

More recently, Holm was submitted by former PFL champ, Kayla Harrison, at UFC 300 in April. Holm is 2-2, with 1 no-contest, in her last 5 fights.
