World champion boxer Holly Holm has her first career mixed martial arts victory. Holm looked strong as she dominated Christina "Machine Gun" Domke at Route 66 Casino and Hotel Friday night. Holm is known for her boxing abilities but, it was her kicks that made Domke unable to continue in the second round. UFC veteran Keith Jardine was also a winner. Jardine pounded Aron "The Poster Boy" Lofton into submission in the first round of their main event fight.

Wow

She kicks well for a champion boxer.

As for Jardine… just glad he’s in the win column. He needed that.

Oops

Apparently Keith won a decision in December. Either way, good to see him on track.

She was originally a kickboxer

Before she became a Boxing World Champion.

Ahh

Well, that explains it. Makes sense, you wouldn’t expect a career boxer transitioning to MMA ripping kicks with both legs, high and low. Good prospect, and she’s also pretty cute.

Good to see Jardine finally get a win. Hope to see Holm in one of Bellators tournaments soon

SF was keeping an eye on this fight to see how it goes. I would expect them to offer her a contract in the near future. Holly is fighting MMA @ 135 and Bellator doesn’t do that. She must be short because the video I have seen makes it look like she would have trouble making 45. I hope the whole fight gets posted some where.

As for Keith. A am not sure why he keeps going out of his way to shit on SF. If the UFC doesn’t want him back he might be able to get some fights there which would be better than working one step up from the ammy circuit like he is now. Maybe he thinks it will score points with Dana.
