Det har varit en hel del prat om att före detta bantamviktsmästarinnan Ronda Rousey var planerad för ett returmöte mot titelhållerskan Holly Holm, en titelmatch som var tänkt för UFC 200 den 9 juli. Här berättar Dana White varför det mötet ej kommer bli av då, via ”Yahoo! Sports”:
She could do both, but why should she? The filming is in a time frame where she’d finish before 200, but it would be cutting it too close.
The way I look at this one is, Ronda has worked her ass off for us for the last three years. She’s been fighting, promoting and building the sport. If anyone deserves the time off, it’s her. The night of UFC 193, Holly said she’d do the rematch and that Ronda deserved it and everything else. So we were holding it for her if she wanted to do it.
What that woman has done is above and beyond what anyone has done. I mean, it’s just unbelievable what she’s done in the last three years. Anything we needed, she didn’t say no to anything – said no to nothing. She even took over responsibilities somebody else was supposed to have. So when she tells me she wants more time, you know what? She’s got it.
Mästarinnan Holm kommer istället att möta Miesha Tate, en match som kommer att gå av stapeln vid UFC 197 den 5 mars.
