Holly Holm faces Germaine de Randamie for the inaugural UFC featherweight championship tonight in the main event of UFC 208. For the first time ever in her boxing or MMA career, she is on a two fight losing streak.

Holm is feeling the pressure to not be the woman who lost her belt and never get it back. Although she welcomes that pressure, she admits a lot of people in the world would not be able to handle it.

“I don’t want to go where I fight for the belt one time, lose and I never get it back. That’s a sore spot for me,” Holm said.

“There’s a reason why a lot of people in the world wouldn’t be able to do this job. Because they wouldn’t be able to handle the pressure. I can handle it. That’s why I’m here.”

UFC 208: Holm VS de Randamie takes place tonight from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The main card will be aired live on pay-per-view from 10pm EST.
