Holly Holm Responds To Ronda Rousey’s KO Threat: “She doesn’t want it”
Former UFC women’s bantamweight queen Holly Holm has reacted to Ronda Rousey’s recent claims.
Back in 2015, “The Preacher’s Daughter” sent Rousey to the shadow realm with a brutal head kick, followed by some ground and pound at UFC 193, and with that, she also took “Rowdy’s” undefeated record and her bantamweight crown.
But recently, Rousey claimed she would clean her clock if she ran it back with Holly Holm, but at this point in her life, she doesn’t want to avenge losses. She would instead dedicate her time to her family and kids instead of competing. The 39-year-old told Kay Adams during an interview:
“I think I definitely have the ability and the opportunity to be able to f*cking clean her clock and rewrite all of that but it’s no longer important to me anymore. It doesn’t haunt me. It’s not the most important thing in my life… I know how good I am and my kids need me in their life and I want to be there for them.”

Ronda Rousey most recently returned to the hexagon at MVP MMA 1, where she submitted Gina Carano in just 17 seconds. After that fight, she made it crystal clear that she has no intention of competing again.
Holly Holm reacts to Ronda Rousey’s big claims: “She’s never wanted it, and that’s alright”
Reacting to Ronda Rousey’s comments, Holly Holm told Ariel Helwani during a recent sit-down that she’s game to run it back with Ronda Rousey. However, “The Preacher’s Daughter” opined that it is something Rousey doesn’t want.
“You can say one thing, and actions are another. She’s always going to be more of that type of person… I’ve always said I’ll rematch her. That’s the bottom line… She doesn’t want it. She’s never wanted it, and that’s alright. I’m not even mad at her for it. I don’t want someone to get in there and fight if they don’t actually want to fight, because I want someone who wants it.”

Holm is coming off a controversial majority-decision loss to Stephanie Han this past weekend in their rematch. During the same interview, the 44-year-old multiple-time boxing world champion added that she plans to retire by the end of this year.
“If I’m being really honest, I just want big fights. I’m not saying that all of them have to be title fights, but definitely a couple within the year, and then I’m done. I definitely want them to be fights that people want to see.”
