UFC released a statement to USA TODAY explaining that Holm is free to accept endorsements and sponsorships that don't conflict with their contractual obligations at UFC events.
“Holly Holm is a great UFC champion and a role model for the sport of mixed martial arts. The UFC organization has not researched the company that is sponsoring Holm, and UFC does not condone any athlete that uses a substance on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s Prohibited List.’’This isn't the first time Holm has been sponsored by a company who makes banned supplements. For her title-winning fight against Ronda Rousey she was sponsored by Intel Pharma, a company that has sold products that are considered steroid alternatives and on WADA’s banned substance list. Holm is no longer affiliated with the company and Intel Pharma no longer sells products containing substances on WADA's banned list, according to the company's owner Langdon Suggs.
