Holly Holm is the first UFC fighter to have completed 50 clean drug tests

Only in the last month, Holm achieved a feat that she can be proud of. UFC fighters usually have a history of failed drug tests due to various reasons. But in February, Holm became the first UFC fighter to successfully complete 50 USADA tests without any issue.

I’ve been in sports my whole life and always loved the grind. It’s the grind that gives a feeling of accomplishment and it feels good to know you’ve pushed your limits. I’ve always felt the hard work also gave mental strength. And there’s a pride in knowing all accomplishments are from that passion and that grind. I never thought there was a count but USADA stopped by @jacksonwink_mma and said I was the first athlete to have over 50 tests. Thank you USADA for your positive support and helping keep the sport clean. And thank you for my new spiffy jacket. I also know there are many organizations testing many athletes. Hats off to all the athletes putting that work in. I’m also laughing at my photo looking like a kid on picture day but just focus on River…. she’s quite a cutie.
