Holly Holm, a boxing Hall of Famer and former UFC champion from Albuquerque, had her first boxing match in 12 years and it went well.
Holm, 43, dominated Yolanda Vega, 30, winning all 10 rounds in the women’s lightweight bout.
All three judges scored the fight 100-90 in favor of Holm, who improved 34-2-3.
It was Vega’s first career defeat as her record dropped to 10-1. She did bloody Holm’s bloody nose but was otherwise controlled.
“It was a great fight tonight,’’ Holm said. “I was glad to be up against somebody that’s tough and put my skills to the test and see how it feels again.’’
Holm said she isn’t retiring and will fight again.
