In a very exciting night at Route 66 Casino Hotel, on the “DOUBLE THREAT” MMA card headlining Keith Jardine, pound for pound boxing champion Holly “The Preacher’s Daughter” Holm picked up her first mixed martial arts victory on Friday night, March 4th, 2011 with a convincing stoppage of credible competitor Christina “Machine Gun” Domke in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Holm (29-1-3 Boxing; 1-0-0 MMA) pelted her opponent with an effective arsenal of straight punches combined with and leg kicks that wore Domke (4-2-0) down over the course of the first round.

The crowd held their breath as Domke managed to mount Holm, but Holm quickly manipulated an escape and returned to her feet to the delight of the crowd. Holm continued to display her excellent striking skills until she landed a final vicious leg kick and dropped Domke, thus ending the fight by the referee with a TKO victory for Holly Holm. Holm triumphed in her cage debut in front of a historical record-breaking sell-out crowd.

 Unlike many professional boxers before her, Holly showed that she possesses superior fighting skills and she was able to accomplish the transition from boxing to mixed martial arts successfully. Holm’s promoter, Lenny Fresquez feels that after 4 or 5 more MMA fights for Holly and she’ll be ready for an MMA Championship.
