UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey won’t be fighting Miesha Tate for a third time, after all. At least not yet.
Rousey (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) today told “Good Morning America” that rather than Tate (17-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC), she’s slated to fight former pro boxer Holly Holm (9-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) at UFC 195 on Jan. 2.
“She’s definitely my biggest challenge to date, so I’m super excited about it,” Rousey said.
UFC officials subsequently confirmed the event takes place at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
