Ronda Rousey, Holly Holm Discuss Potential Rematch at UFC 200
MMA star Ronda Rousey has expressed her desire to face Holly Holm once again in a possible rematch at UFC 200 in 2016, and Holm has said the same.
Rousey was stunned by Holm at UFC 193 in a shock loss, suffering a brutal second-round knockout at the hands of the former world champion boxer. However, the nature of her loss hasn’t deterred her desire to get back in the Octagon and put things right, it would seem, per TMZ Sports (h/t MMA Fighting): "It's what I want. It's up to the UFC, and it's up to her camp. So, we'll see what happens.”
Holm said she'd love to fight Rousey in July, according to MMA Fighting:
Prior to her loss at UFC 193, the former champion had blitzed her way past opponents with a pugnacious style. But Rousey seemed to take some liberties against Holm and made the peculiar decision to try and fight upright against the former boxer.
It’s a bout the world would surely love to see and, for Rousey, a loss she’d be desperate to avenge. Holm, after the savage stoppage against Rousey, would surely fancy her chances of notching back-to-back triumphs if the pair were to step foot in the Octagon again.
