New UFC champ Holly Holm has a movie coming out that looks...umm...interesting

Prior to Saturday’s shocking upset of Ronda Rousey at UFC 193, Holly Holm was a relative unknown to most casual sports fans.

That all changed with a crisp high-kick to Rousey’s face, and now Holm’s career arc is looking more promising than ever.

Not many people know this, but Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey have more in common than just their now-legendary fight.

Much like Rousey, Holm also is an aspiring actress.

Fans can get a glimpse at the new champ in this trailer for “Fight Valley,” featuring other longtime Rousey rivals Miesha Tate, and Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino.

Check it out:

“Aspiring actress,” perhaps, but gosh, that was a chore getting through.

Now, listen. I’m not a movie critic – just a small, petty combat sports journalist – but I’m not sure what I just watched. Of course there was the awesome 2015 nu-metal chorus playing throughout, and who didn’t love all the gratuitous blood (there was even a lesbian kiss!).

I know this is MMA, but let’s try and raise the bar a little bit, shall we? Can we at least not promote every horrible stereotype mixed martial arts represents?

On the glass-half-full side of things, for the producers of "Fight Valley," Holm knocking out the UFC’s darling will only help their film when it heads to…well, let’s be honest, it's not heading to theaters.

Holm may have snatched Rousey’s title over the weekend, but it’s safe to say that Rousey, with her roles in Furious 7, The Expendables 3 and Entourage, still has Holm beat at a few things.
