We are less than a month away from what has quickly become one of the biggest must-see events in sports: a Ronda Rousey fight.
The UFC bantamweight champ will defend her title against Holly Holm on November 15. The fight will take place at UFC 193 in Melbourne, Australia, and in case you needed any help getting hyped for the fight:
Holm, 34, presents a new challenge for Rousey in her ability to box. The 2012 WBF Female Fighter of the Year, Holm went 33-2-3 with nine knockouts as a boxer, and no one that has faced Rousey thus far has had anything close to that kind of experience.
The transition to MMA has been a good one for “The Preacher’s Daughter,” who is 9-0 overall with a pair of wins via decision since her move to UFC. If she can stay on her feet and keep her distance, she could potentially make things a bit uncomfortable for Rousey.
Of course that’s a colossal “if.” A former Olympic bronze medalist in Judo, Rousey has obviously excelled in taking opponents to the ground with absolute ease. In her 12 dominant MMA victories, nine have ended via her famous arm-bar and another one via punches on the ground. That’s 10 out of 12 opponents she has easily gotten off their feet, and the other two were ended before she really had a chance to do so.
