Holly Holm will be next up for Rousey, the dominant UFC women’s bantamweight champion, and not Miesha Tate, who was thought to be next in line for a third fight with her bitter rival after a win last month in Chicago.

Rousey (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) will fight Holm (9-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) in the UFC 195 main event on Jan. 2 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas
