Holly Holm Open to Ronda Rousey Rematch Following Recent Fight

As Holly Holm gears up for her upcoming match against Stephanie Han, she has expressed her willingness to face Ronda Rousey again. Rousey recently made headlines with her quick victory over Gina Carano, finishing the fight in just 17 seconds, reigniting discussions about a potential rematch with Holm, who previously defeated her in 2015.

Holm stated on "The Ariel Helwani Show," "I've always been open to a rematch with her since the day the fight was over. So if she wants a rematch, I'm game, anytime." Regardless of the outcome of her fight against Han on May 30, which serves as a chance for Holm to avenge her earlier loss to Han, the excitement surrounding a potential rematch with Rousey is palpable.

The fight that solidified Holm's legacy occurred over a decade ago when she delivered a stunning kick to Rousey's face in the second round, leading to a decisive victory and marking the first defeat in Rousey’s professional career. Reflecting on that moment, Holm recalled, "Right after the fight, it was, 'Hey, do you want to wait for the fight with Ronda?' I said, 'Well, sure. How long are we going to wait?'" Unfortunately, no concrete answer was provided at that time.

In response to Holm's recent comments, Rousey addressed the possibility of a rematch during her appearance on the "Up & Adams" show, stating, "I said I'm retired, A. And B, I think that I am a completely different fighter now and I would clean her clock." The anticipation for a rematch continues to grow, with fans eager to see how this rivalry could unfold once more.
