It appears Holly Holm has been preparing to fight Ronda Rousey for a while.
The former boxer was once turned down by UFC president Dana White, but Holm’s management team and White eventually came to an agreement.
Now one of her first UFC tasks is facing Ronda Rousey.
“For all these years my (boxing) promoter was Lenny Fresquez and Fresquez Productions, and he’s now my agent and manager,” Holm recently told FOX Sports. “He negotiated in my contract, he said, ‘I think they’re going to give you Ronda early so we’re going to have a whole separate contract for that,’ and I didn’t even think about it,”
After her first two fights, Holm is looking forward to her opportunity to face Rousey at UFC 193.
