UFC champion Holly Holm recently talked about meeting hip-hop power couple Jay Z and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter last weekend and what crucial mistake she made during their encounter.

Holm said she suffered a lapse in memory and forgot Queen Bey’s name when they met.

“I go in and it’s Jay Z but he’s like, him and Beyoncé are back there and it’s just, that’s surreal,” Holm said in an interview. “I meet Jay Z and he says, ‘This is my wife,’ and I’m like ‘Oh hi, what’s your name?,’ because that’s what I do when I meet someone’s wife and as I’m shaking her hand I’m thinking, ‘Why did I just say that? Why did I just say that to Beyoncé?’ And then Jay Z’s asking me about the fight and I can’t even focus on what he’s saying because I just put my foot in my mouth and I literally have to interrupt him and I’m like, ‘I’m really sorry.’ And I go back to Beyoncé like, ‘Beyoncé, like, I can’t believe I just said that.'” (KRQE)

Earlier this month, Holm spoke out on beating previously undefeated UFC fighter Ronda Rousey.

Best feeling in the world. Still trying to process and take it all in. There aren't enough words to express what I am feeling. Thank you @ufc for the opportunity and most of all thank you to my team for believing in me. All the hours in the gym and all the years of dedication to help me get to this moment. This is a priceless moment and I could not have done this on my own. @mmacoachwink its been 17 years and one hell of a ride. Let's see where it goes from here! Greg Jackson and @izzystylewrestling … My transition to mma would not be possible without you. All of the coaching and teammates @jacksonwink_mma …… You are my family and love you all so much! I only hope to make you proud and be a good champion. And to all of my fans….. I would not be able to live the dream without you. Much love to you all!! Big hugs to everyone! #ANDNEW ?

Retired boxing champion Laila Ali shared her thoughts on the publicized UFC shocker in mid-November.

“She didn’t shock me,” Ali said referring to Holly Holm defeating Rousey. “I’m familiar with Holly Holm. She’s a talented boxer, she’s a world champion – I’m excited for her and hopefully she’ll get the exposure she needs to take her career to the next level – it’s obvious who the better fighter was. … We have to under that in order to be the best in the world, you definitely don’t ever get beat up like that in your prime, period.” (TMZ Sports)
