San Antonio, Texas, is famed for its Riverwalk. But on Saturday in the Alamo City, Holly Holm’s Fountain of Youth flowed unabated.

Albuquerque’s Holm, who at age 41 has signed a six-fight contract extension with the UFC, soundly defeated Yana Santos — a mere kid of 33 — by unanimous decision on a UFC Fight Night card at the AT&T Center.

Last week, after the Journal reported news of the contract extension, the story was picked up by most of the major MMA websites.

The reaction in some quarters was positive. In others, not so much.
