As Holly Holm prepares to fight Amanda Nunes at UFC 239 on Saturday, July 6, rumors have surfaced again because of this picture that she was on steroids. Leave it to the MMA media to try to stir up controversy. Before Holm had barely had a chance to truly enjoyed her belt she is in the center of a steroid controversy. It’s time for Holly to relax, celebrate her victory, and start thinking about her first title defense, but instead, Fox Sports is already trying to discredit her victory because one of her sponsors had some tainted supplements at one point (Not uncommon for any supplement company.)
They’re not even letting the dust settle before they throw huge shade on Holly. One of the UFC’s official partners really shouldn’t be behaving like this. Maybe the Fox Sports team is upset that they’ll be missing out. “Not a good look.” On the one hand, it’s really cool and progressive that Fox Sports allows 13-year-old girls to manage their social media accounts, but on the other hand they should probably have an adult checking things over first.
The image from a previous UFC showing Holly’s voluminous lady parts and the fact that a supplement company that sponsors her had ingredients in some of their products that are now banned by WADA doesn’t mean that Holly was juicing for her fight, but that’s what has got people talking.
Even after defeating the consensus greatest women’s MMA fighter of all time, it is still an uphill battle for Holly Holm. Most people still can’t even get her name right, with Firas Zahabi, Brendan Schaub, and others calling her “Holly Holmes” while discussing the fight.
The head of Intel Pharma, the company that made the supplements in question, has said they stopped making the products and have recalled them long before they started sponsoring Holly Holm.
The worst part below:
“The first question I asked [Intel Pharma] was how many of these products were banned, and they were up front about it. Holly didn’t really use them so it’s not a big deal. I’m sure she didn’t use any of them. She might have taken a picture with one.” said Lenny Fresquez, Holly Holm’s manager.
Reports have speculated it clitoral hypertrophy (as the enlarged clitoris). a symptom of steroids abuse by women. What is important to note is that Holly Holm has passed all her anti-doping testing to date so whatever this is it does not seem to be related to steroids.
Right now Holm and her camp main focus right now is to prepare for there fight against Amanda and she should not let these rumors distract her focus on UFC 239.
Can someone one please tell us what this really is?
