Holm returns to gym, wants Rousey in ’15
Holly Holm: “If you’re not wanting to get in there and fight the best or get the belt or be the best, then you probably shouldn’t really be doing this at all.”
Holly Holm was scheduled to make her UFC debut in July of 2014, but injuries to her arm and back prevented that and put her out for another six months. Holm is finally back in the gym and will hopefully debut in the UFC in early 2015 and if all goes to plan, fight Ronda Rousey next year as well:
Of late Holm has even drawn praise from the division’s queen Ronda Rousey, who named the former pugilistic champ as a “worthy opponent” to consider watching in 2015.
“It’s flattering,” Holm says. “She’s obviously blown through everybody that she’s fought in the UFC. There’s no doubt that she is the toughest girl out there. But everybody’s beatable. I want to be able to have that opportunity to get in there with her, just in a good sportsman way.
