Saturday’s lightweight title fight gives Holly Holm a chance to avenge a technical-decision loss to Stephanie Han after their first bout ended on a clash of heads and cut.
Holm said the abrupt finish left "unfinished business," and the 44-year-old framed the rematch as one of the last major goals in a career she says will not last much longer.
Ronda Rousey’s 17-second submission of Gina Carano at MVP’s first MMA card revived talk of a Holm-Rousey rematch, but Holm said she highly doubts Rousey would ever take it.
Holm instead praised both women—saying Rousey’s quick finish was consistent with her prime and that Carano showed courage by returning after a 17-year layoff.
At 44, can Holly Holm settle her 'unfinished business' by defeating a hometown champion for another world title?
Is Ronda Rousey truly retired, or could a massive payday from Jake Paul's MVP lure her back for a Holm rematch?
