Holly is a real one no matter if she wins or loses her legacy has been cemented in this sport. Also she gets kudos for calling out the exploitation of children.

lock up rap ist priests, and the republican ped os

[@Colby_0-3_IRL_and_title_fights]

Sad sad world we're in when a woman with no kids of her own needs to stand up for other people's kids who are getting injected with hormones because their parents won't ever say no

[@MH-fm8fd]

Yeah, it sucks how many Catholic priests have been abusing kids, so much for following the word of God

Holly is MVP for calling out the weirdos in her post fight interview

She's hypocritical, though. How is she going to complain about weirdos when she's one herself by choosing to intrude into a MALE venture like MMA? She's no different from Lia Thomas

Well done Holly. Class through and through. Also her message regarding the kids, absolutely 💯

Lost $500 because of her win but I’m actually happy for her and especially because of her message about minors. Santos fought hard, Holly is just better. cheers to both women.

[@schmaingd]

Teaching children that their identity is who they want to have sex with is sexualizing children. Teaching children that womanhood is just long hair, makeup and boobs is also sexualizing children. Teaching children that manhood is just short hair, muscles and a penis is also sexualizing children. Sex is not for children. Anyone who sees one's identity as their sexual desires/ expression has a very shallow view of the individual. We are more than our desires but teaching children that is who they are, their "identity", is very damaging. Keep speaking up Holly 👏🏼

[@Flavorstick311]

​@@pinkflamingos69 good to know you're ok with kids being sexualized

[@pinkflamingos69]

@@foosdontcry I absolutely am not, but that's not what this movement is about. "protect the children" is based in the idea that all LGBT people and democrats are secret evil perverts. It's basically a remix of the Q concept about how dem leadership are secret reptilian aliens that run a sex trafficking ring and drink baby's blood. I'm not here for that goofy crap. The right always picks phrases that they can twist back easily on the people pushing back, like "all live matter" You can say "what, you do'nt respect all lives??? what???" even though you know better.

[@CMDRRustyDog]

Great performance from Holly. Vintage stuff. Utter domination right from the start. I thought she'd have to be aggressive, and she was. She's such a cool person too. No trash talking, nothing. And good for her for her post fight speech.

[@whodoesntlikesurfing]

She takes anabolicsteroids, though. And she harasses guys and claims to be stronger than us, but refuses to fight Song Yadong. If she's so cool, then why was she unfaithful to her last husband with Jon Jones?

[@whodoesntlikesurfing]

Her performance can be attributed to enhancers. You really think she became like that just by "working out"?

[@nickm5807]

Holly Holm is the greatest female athlete of all time over 40.

[@informationOD]

Huge thank you to Holly for speaking out on behalf of our children. Don't blindly hand over your kids to those predator. They want to convince a boy that he's a girl and convince your little gilr that she's a boy, messing with kid's head. Watch out for any teachers that want to take your parents right away. They are not invested in your kids, they just want to mess them up for their own pleasure and benefit.

Who exactly are "they" that want to convince boys they are girls and vice versa ?

I've thought that for a while it seems like, sometimes, it looks like the lights are on but no one is home. From boxing to MMA, she's had to have taken a ton of brain damage, which can certainly lead to depression.

@Philburt No reason for you to defend this bum unless she's paying your Bills.. she's a terrible fighter, just a one hit wonder. Facts are facts. Shevchenko, Nunes are amongst the elite. Holly doesn't hold a torch to their legacies or any of the elites.
