Nice video of the New Champ...
LAS VEGAS – A conference room chair was placed up a small stage at the MGM Grand last Saturday, set up for Holly Holm, the newly minted UFC champion and conqueror of Ronda Rousey. It was a way to handle a small army of reporters looking for interviews.
Holm sat in it for an hour, answered every question and when the session was over stood up, looked at the chair and decided that it should be put away somewhere. So she picked it up and asked a hotel worker where she should put it. It was her natural, helpful instinct.
`The MGM Grand and the UFC are not small operations. Both have plenty of employees who are tasked with things like breaking down a room after a function. This isn’t the job of Holly Holm, which is why a burly guy stepped up and tried to take the chair from Holm.
She didn’t let go though, saying she’d carry it over to the side of the room herself. Why wouldn’t she? Soon enough they both had a hand on it and were bearing the load together.
Champs don’t carry the chairs, Holm was reminded and with that she shrugged and kind of laughed.
“I’m not changing,” Holm said, finding herself caught in the wonderful place between regular person and superstardom, unwilling to let go of the past (or the chair) even as she walks right into her new reality.`
