UFC president Dana White says rematch between Holly Holm, Ronda Rousey will happen
  • 8 years ago
The UFC still intends to book an immediate rematch between former female bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm , according to the company's president Dana White. Holm shocked the world last month, knocking out the previously invincible Rousey with a left head kick to claim the 135-pound championship. Holm, a former multitime world boxing champion, closed as a plus-800 betting underdog against Rousey, making her win the biggest betting upset in UFC history. A blockbuster UFC 200 event, scheduled to take place on July 9 at a newly constructed arena in Las Vegas, would seem like a likely landing spot for the rematch. "The fight had right before that, she knocked a girl out in 30 seconds and she was still living that lifestyle," White said when asked whether outside distractions contributed to Rousey's loss.
