The reign of Holly Holm as bantamweight champion lasted only one fight. In a desperate attempt in the final round of a fight she was losing on the scorecards at UFC 196, Miesha Tate shot in for a takedown, was stuffed but quickly seized Holm’s back.
Holly tried to shake the challenger off, but Tate was relentless and locked in a tight rear-naked choke. Even after Holm tried to flip her off her back, the Xtreme Couture fighter never let go of the choke and within seconds, “The Preacher’s Daughter” was asleep. The official time of the technical submission came at 3:30 of the fifth, allowing Tate to capture the championship that has eluded her for years.
