Julius Holmes Rises Through Regional Ranks
Julius Holmes enters every session with a distinct clarity. At 31 the welterweight from Dallas has compiled ten wins and two losses as The Boom. He stands five feet 11 inches tall and trains with Fortis MMA. His ascent has been steady enough to place him at number 101 in North America and among the top in the US Southwest Oklahoma and Texas sub regions.
Holmes earned those spots by fighting out of his home state in four of his last six bouts and hitting the welterweight limit in two straight outings. That regional focus has grounded him amid the crowded welterweight class and given him a foothold on the MMA landscape. While he has yet to crack the upper tiers his combination of measured offense and a businesslike approach reflects a fighter still sharpening his edge.
Each camp in Dallas brings incremental gains rather than seismic shifts. Holmes does not hinge his progress on big promotional pushes. Instead he builds on fundamentals leaning on sparring partners in Fortis MMA’s gym and refining a game plan built around pressure and timing. It is that quiet accumulation of improvement that carried him into the rankings and could soon carry him beyond them.
