UFC Champ Holly Holm Signs Multiyear Contract Extension
Holm spoke with Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of “The MMA Hour” at MMAFighting.com and claimed that she doesn’t even know if Rousey wants an immediate rematch, or if she will be making her first title defense against a different UFC Women’s Bantamweight contender. As reported by ESPN, Fresquez said, “We have officially signed a multiyear extension with the UFC”. “That’s all I can verify right now”. So going to see “Star Wars” with her friends might have been the flawless way to ignore her next fight rumors. In terms of breakout fighters, these athletes are all well deserving, but the 2015 Combat Press “Breakout Fighter of the Year” is the new undisputed women’s bantamweight champ, Holly Holm.
Now, White is in the process of establishing when she’ll fight next.
Remember when Ronda Rousey was at the pinnacle of the MMA universe?
No one knows what Ronda Rousey has gone through over the past year of her life better than her sister Maria Burns-Ortiz, who has been there with her every step of the way through epic wins and crushing defeat.
Holm desperately wants to fight again before taking on Rousey, with Miesha Tate considered the frontrunner for the title.
Meanwhile, Ronda Rousey is still delaying to comment on Holly Holm rematch or any other next fight.
She got up at 3 a.m. PT to fly to SC, at her own expense, to attend the party so as not to disappoint someone she’d never met. When a TMZ cameraman caught her on her way to Los Angeles International Airport, she said, “It’s an honor to be asked”.
The only way to restore her reputation, her career, and, yes, even her future as a major actress, is to come back from her two-movie deal she’s working on, defeat Holm, then set her sights on Cris Cyborg at a catchweight. Holm told Ariel Helwani, “If I fight sooner rather than later, it won’t be a rematch”.
Former UFC Featherweight champion Jose Aldo feels that Rousey should not return to UFC: “Ah, I think it’s too hard”. By estimate, Rousey will only be allowed to fight in July, a date that Holm’s camp said they can’t wait.
UFC president Dana White spoke with the LA Times recently and admitted that he hasn’t had a business conversation with Rousey since UFC 193 back in November.
