JUST THINK ABOUT IT...
#2 ranked women's bantamweight, Holly "The Preachers Daughter" Holm (10-1)
#3 ranked women's bantamweight, "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey (12-1)
SO WHAT DO I THINK OF ALL THIS??
I will say it before and I will say it again...
WE NEED THIS FIGHT.
I know Dana White gives Ronda Rousey some shine (even though she hasn't stepped in the octagon since getting knocked out by Holm) BUT I personally feel that there is someone else in line that I would rather see go after that belt *cough* Julianna Peña *cough* *COUGH*.
However, I do understand the reasoning behind it. Rousey has been through way more title defense to hold the belt than any other bantamweight in the division before she lost it. That should stand for something, right? Well of course it does. BUT RIGHT NOW I feel like revenging her loss against Holly Holm is more important.
After the world saw her get knocked out during the second round it was really a sight to watch cause it just made me feel so sad to see that happening to someone I idolize so much. But on the other side of things, Holm was there to finally shake things up in the division.
She lost her belt against Miesha.. then Miesha lost the belt.. so the circle of life for this division continues in someone else's hand and her name is Amanda Nuñes. Until we get there though between these 2 amazing fighters I feel like they have some business to settle first.
Some say Ronda lost that fight fair and square. Do I agree? OF COURSE. But who doesn't want redemption? That is the reason why she has been out of the octagon for so long filming as Holm has been in it fighting. I don't think "Rowdy" can really move forward and be the fighter we all know her to be again until this matchup turns into a real thing. That being said, would Dana White allow it?
Who knows... but I think the world would want to see this rematch. Given that the huge event in New York is happening that would be amazing to see these two fight it out on that card.
