Round 2 after TKO. UFC president
Dana White confirmed on Thursday, Dec. 3, that
Ronda Rousey will get a rematch against defending bantamweight titleholder Holly Holm, who defeated her at UFC 193 last month.
White told the
Mike & Mike radio show
on Thursday that there would be another match between the ladies,
though he offered up no definitive timeline or location. “I think that
if we didn’t make the rematch, me and Lorenzo should probably lose our
promoters’ license,” White said of UFC CEO
Lorenzo Fertitta.“Yeah, that fight’s going to happen. I don’t know when, but that’s the fight that will happen.”
He
explained why a rematch was of importance to the league. “Ronda Rousey
has gone undefeated, taken the sport to another level, and was beating
the best women in the world in 14 seconds or 30 seconds, so she deserves
a rematch.”
In fact, White has
already had the discussion with Rousey’s opponent, Holm. “Holly agrees
she deserves a rematch,” the UFC exec said. “And we’ll figure it out.”
