STEPHANIE HAN RETAINS TITLE
El Paso, Texas - May 30, 2026 - Stephanie Han and Holly Holm fought a competitive ten‑round lightweight title bout defined by Han’s accuracy and Holm’s pressure. Han started fast, landing clean straight punches as Holm stepped in, using timing to control the early rhythm.
