No Holly Holm Vs Ronda Rousey Rematch? Other Fighter Emerging As Next Foe For New MMA Sensation

Dec 03, 2015 04:08 PM EST | By Rolly Gacelo

A Holly Holm vs Ronda Rouse rematch is probably the most logical move for UFC after the two figured in a fight weeks ago wherein the former won via a shocking knock out in the second round.

There is a chance this might not happen though. First, Rousey's camp is yet to respond on Holm's kind offer for a rematch. Second, there are other fighters who want to take down the current UFC Bantamweight Champion.

Among those who might prevent Holly Holm vs Ronda Rouse rematch from happening is Miesha Tate.

"We'll see what happens," Holm told GQ about challenge from Tate who once fought and lost to Rousey. "Because it might be a possibility."

Another name making a good case to become the opponent for Holly Holm's next fight is Cris Cyborg who was among those who expressed delight about Rousey going to sleep in their match. Holm's coach Mike Winkeljohn thinks Cyborg, a former Strikeforce Women's Featherweight Champion, will make a good opponent for his fighter.

"Cris 'Cyborg' is just incredible with her strength and with what she can so," Winkeljohn told talkingbrawlsmma.com. "I don't know if she can make the weight at 135 pounds yet. She's got a lot of holes in her game, a lot of craziness. That girl is so strong, so we'd have to be worried about it. But Holly would fight her in a heartbeat."

For her part, Holm said she is open to battling anyone in the octagon.

"I'm open to opportunities," she told ESPN's MMA Live days before the interview on his coach. "Each fight is it's own, and as they come I just take the challenge. So I'm open with that. Cyborg, she is very tough. Actually, her and I have become friends. Really, I'd have to put the friends thing aside in order to fight, because she's a pretty unique individual. I'm a fan of her."
