Holly Holm Says Ronda Rousey Shaped Her Own UFC Legacy as Return Talk Grows

Holm contends Rousey's retreat from public view after consecutive losses helped sour fan perception.

Overview

  • Holm said Rousey is "a lot responsible" for how she is remembered because she pulled away from fans and media following her defeats.
  • She added that a comeback would not surprise her and that she is open to a rematch if Rousey decides to fight again.
  • Holm cautioned that casually enjoying training differs from committing to a real camp, urging that any return be driven by true competitive desire.
  • Rousey’s recent training posts have fueled speculation about MMA or boxing, but UFC CEO Dana White has denied reports of a Katie Taylor bout.
  • Rousey’s UFC run ended with knockout losses to Holm in 2015 and Amanda Nunes in 2016 before she left MMA and moved to WWE.
