Holly Holm Although Dana White previously said he should lose his promoters license if an immediately rematch between Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey is not booked, it appears Holm will indeed face another opponent before a potential second showdown with “Rowdy.” “Holly Holm will fight before she fights Ronda,” the UFC President announced on tonight’s edition of FOX Sports 1’s “UFC Tonight.” A rematch between Holm (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC), No. 1 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA women’s bantamweight rankings , and No. 2-ranked Rousey (12-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) has been a main discussion point since “The Preacher’s Daughter” won the 135-pound title in dramatic fashion at UFC 193 in November. Holm was a significant underdog going into the fight but managed to completely dominate Rousey before scoring a second-round knockout with the help of a vicious head kick and punches. With Rousey scheduled to film a pair of movies in the coming months, White and the UFC brass targeted the rematch for July’s UFC 200 mega-event.
