Holm’s Response to Potential Rematch against Rousey.
Many MMA fans are already salivating at the thought of a rematch between new UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey, but The Preacher’s Daughter isn’t putting any pressure on the former titleholder.
“I think that, as far as Ronda with the rematch, I feel like for her, do what you want do do,” Holm said. “If you’re passionate about it and want to get back and avenge that loss, then great. If you want to focus on other things, great. I’m supportive of any fighter kind of doing what they’re passionate about.”
Holly Holm’s long-time coach Mike Winkeljohn says the former boxing champion was intentionally holding back in her fights prior to UFC 193.
So, what did she say to her fallen foe after so many “Rowdy” outbursts? That was a question Larry King asked when he invited Holm to be a part of his 137th birthday.
And her answer didn’t sound “fake.”
“I really admire you for being such a great, dominant champion,” Holm told Rousey during their post-fight embrace. “None of us would be here without you, so I appreciate you.”
No argument here.
After Rousey’s shocking second-round knockout defeat at UFC 193, she posted on Instagram that she intends to return to the Octagon after taking some time away from fighting:

Judo DoJo
Judo (meaning "gentle way") is a modern martial art, combat and Olympic sport created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano . Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw or takedown an opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a choke. Strikes and thrusts by hands and feet as well as weapons defenses are a part of judo, but only in pre-arranged forms (kata,) and are not allowed in judo competition or free practice. A judo practitioner is called a judoka.
