UFC president Dana White stopped by the ESPN morning radio show mike and mike today where he confirmed Ronda Rousey will indeed get a rematch against Bantamweight champion Holly Holm.
At UFC193 Holm handed Rousey her first career loss in a devastating KO victory in the 2nd round improving her career record to (10-0)
Dana white said, him and CEO Lorenzo Ferritia would probably lose their promoters license if they didn’t make this rematch. He also went on to say that before this loss Rousey (12-1) went undefeated beating opponents in 14 or 30 seconds so the rematch is what makes sence.
As far as when this fight will actually take place is unknown. Rousey is on a 6 month medical suspension and has prior movie commitments before she can step in the octagon again.
Some fight fans are upset about this news because they believe it’s unfair to Holly to have to sit on the sidelines, some even believe it’s holding up the rest of the division. While all that may be true at the end of the day the UFC is a business and Holm vs Rousey 2 is a good business move. There is no doubt it’s an anticipated rematch, and whether you’re Team Holm or Team Rousey you’ll be turning into watch.
