Despite being knocked out cold in a one-side fight against Holly Holm, former champion Ronda Rousey still opened as a favorite in a potential rematch.
Despite being knocked out cold in a one-side fight against Holly Holm, former champion Ronda Rousey still opened as a favorite in a potential rematch:
The line on Rousey (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) opened at -300, making her a 3-1 favorite, with Holm (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) as a +250 underdog. But those numbers quickly shifted with plenty of money coming in on Holm’s side – enough to drop Rousey to as low as about a -140 favorite as of Monday night according to numbers published at Best Fight Odds.
No date has been set for the likely rematch between the bantamweights, but on Saturday, after Rousey’s shocking knockout loss to Holm in the UFC 193 main event, UFC President Dana White said a rematch makes the most sense once Rousey completes obligations that were in place before the fight – including filming a pair of movies.
