ESPN reports that Holly Holm has signed a multiyear contract extension with the UFC per Holm’s manager Lenny Fresquez. Financial terms of the deal were undisclosed.
Holm was in attendance Saturday night at UFC 195 and inked the deal on Saturday. Per ESPN, it is not uncommon for the UFC to sign a newly crowned champ to a new deal.
According to disclosed salaries by the California State Athletic Commission, Holm was at $25K/$25K at UFC 184 and July 2015’s UFC Fight Night 71. One would suspect that Holm will receive a significant boost in pay with the potential for PPV points.
Payout Perspective:
Maybe we get further details in the coming days as to how long the contract is for Holm. It appears that most re-ups are for 8 fights thus making the deal “multiyear.” Hopefully, Holm received a deal comparable to her new status as the top woman’s fighter in the UFC. With a potential fight coming with Miesha Tate and a rematch with Ronda Rousey in the not too distant future if she gets past Tate, Holm is positioned to usurp the position Rousey has held since 2013.
