I like to think that if when I met Beyonce, we’ll hug like old friends, talk sh*t about Rihanna over cocktails, and take a few selfies.
In reality, it would probably be a little more awkward.
UFC champ Holly Holm has been on a media trail ever since knocking out the previously undefeated fighter Rhonda Rousey, but one encounter had her starstruck…so starstruck that she asked Jay Z’s wife what her name was.
*Collective gasp*
Even my pop culture-challenge father knows who Beyonce is, but Holm completely spaced out when she came face-to-face with Yonce.
Don’t worry, Holly. If any of us met Queen B IRL, we’d probably say something stupid too.
Check out Holly talk about the hilariously awkward encounter below.

“I can’t even focus on what he’s saying because I just put my foot in my mouth,” she added. “I literally have to interrupt him. I’m like, ‘I’m really sorry,’ and I go back to Beyoncé and I’m like, ‘I can’t believe I just did that.’ She goes, ‘Oh no, it’s fine.’ I’m like, ‘No, I really, really…it’s such an honor to meet you.’”
She tried to recover, but jeez. Cringeeeee.
Side note – does anyone else think Holly Holm looks like the love child of Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer?
