White, Holm: Rematch makes a lot of sense
White said that he feels a rematch is the fight that makes the most sense for both Holm and Rousey. Holly also admitted that a rematch would make a lot of sense.
It was certainly the biggest upset in the history of woman’s MMA when Holly Holm knocked out Ronda Rousey to become the UFC’s bantamweight champion. It is definitely up there in all of MMA as well. Speaking at the post-fight press conference, White said that he feels a rematch is the fight that makes the most sense for both Holm and Rousey. Holly also admitted that a rematch would make a lot of sense:
“The rematch makes a lot of sense,” White said. “I think the rematch is what people would want to see.”
“I think a rematch makes sense for sure,” Holm said in the post-fight press conference. “I’ve been on the losing side of a fight, and I wanted the rematch, I wanted to avenge my loss. With a champion like Ronda who has gone out of her way – above and beyond – to do great things, absolutely, she deserves a rematch. I don’t look at this belt and think I’ve made it. I think I still have things that I need to do.
“I think a rematch – that’s just kind of unspoken, just common sense to me, I guess.”
White also reiterated his point in interviews with the media after the fight:
