Yesterday the shocking news broke <\/a>that UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey would be taking on fellow undefeated fighter Holly Holm at UFC 195 on Jan. 2.<\/p>\n

After the dust settled we got explanations from Dana White<\/a>, about why Holm and not Miesha Tate was given the title shot, and we also heard from Tate herself who expressed <\/a>her disappointment with the decision.<\/p>\n

Basically the UFC wants something new, not a third fight between people who have fought twice already and had the same outcome.<\/p>\n

Finally, we got to hear form title challenger Holm, who had this to say on ‘America’s Pregame’:<\/p>\n

“Maybe it’s one of those things where they just want to test me out, kind of throw me out there. Maybe it’s because they really feel I’m ready. I don’t really care too much of the why. I just want to make the best of the situation.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I think she knows that in beating me that even says more about her stand up. For a long time so many people were always just talking about her armbar. I think that she wanted to prove to them she has more than that, which she has done just that. So this is a big opportunity for her to really show people what she’s made of.”<\/em><\/p>\n
