UFC bantamweight Holly Holm will be fighting Ronda Rousey at UFC 193, in Melbourne, Australia on Nov. 14. It is being set up as a massive event, with the hope of possibly breaking the UFC’s all time attendance record.<\/p>\n
Holm is 2-0 in the UFC and 9-0 overall in MMA and will be stepping into what is most likely the biggest fight of her career, pro boxing included.<\/p>\n
Many believed that she wouldn’t be called upon to face Rousey so soon, plus they figured Miesha Tate would be getting the next crack at Rousey. Now she’s in the spotlight but says she truly believes she’s ready for the challenge.<\/p>\n
Here’s what Holm said at the ‘GO BIG’ press conference:<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst off, there was no hesitation because I feel like that\u2019s not a mental strength. You have to be mentally strong to get in there. When they called, it was like, \u2018This is what\u2019s next. Awesome.\u2019 If I would have felt like I should have said no, then when the next fight comes it would be, \u2018Was I doubting myself before? Am I doubting myself now?\u2019 That\u2019s just a not mentality I have in me, and I don\u2019t choose to feel that way at all.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cDid it come sooner than we would think? That\u2019s not a lie to say yeah, it came soon, but I\u2019m really excited for it. There\u2019s so many girls in the division, but guess what: Even before I signed with the UFC it was like, \u2018Hey, when are you going to fight Ronda Rousey?\u2019 Now we\u2019ve got it scheduled and can really focus on it.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s been all these questions about it, but I\u2019ve had all these other fighters in front of me. But I didn\u2019t want to focus on anything but the fight that\u2019s right in front of me. Now I can really focus and dive into this training camp, and I\u2019m really excited for it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The Best Training Room You’ll Probably Ever See — D.C., Rockhold, Khabib, Velasquez All Training For UFC Greatness<\/strong> UFC bantamweight Holly Holm will be fighting Ronda Rousey at UFC 193, in Melbourne, Australia on Nov. 14.
