Holly Holm, like many, was shocked to find out that the UFC had opted to not book a rematch between herself and Miesha Tate for UFC 200 after their close fight in the co-main event of UFC 196.<\/a><\/p>\n

Holm’s camp accused Tate of declining a rematch<\/a> with Holm in order to take an easier fight by agreeing to fight Amanda Nunes. Tate’s camp responded by revealing that a rematch with Holm was never on the table.<\/a><\/p>\n

This has led many to wonder if the UFC is waiting to book Holm a fight in hopes of booking Holm vs. Rousey II later this year when Rousey is ready to return to the Octagon.<\/p>\n

Holm spoke on The MMA Hour<\/a> to discuss the situation:<\/p>\n

“It’s very possible,” Holm said. “I don’t know what their real thinking is, but they’re obviously a successful business for a reason. They’re a successful promotion. They usually have their reasons behind everything.”<\/p>\n

“I’ll be ready either way,” Holm said. “If I rematch with Ronda, I’m gonna train my butt off. If I rematch with Tate, I’m gonna train my butt off. If they give me one of the other top girls in the meantime, I’m gonna train my butt off.<\/p>\n

“I feel like at this point, not having the rematch, which is what I really wanted, I kind of just changed my train of thought to just be open to whatever. I don’t want to be so focused on that that if something else comes my way that I don’t take advantage of the opportunity.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Depending on how Tate vs. Nunes goes at UFC 200, the UFC could very well look to book Tate vs. Rousey III for later this year as well.<\/p>\n
