Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women’s bantamweight titleholder, Ronda Rousey, was dismantled by ex-boxing champion Holly Holm en route to a devastating knockout loss at UFC 193 last November.
Proving this accolade may have indeed been delivered prematurely.
But knowing that “Rowdy” has a long way to go in terms of technical striking, the mastermind(s) behind her current training camp have paired the judoka with 2016 Olympic pugilist Mikaela Mayer, who reached the quarterfinals in Rio de Janeiro back in July.
Hopefully Mayer wasn’t dropped with a body shot.
Rousey will have a chance to reclaim the crown — now held by Amanda Nunes — when she collides with “Lioness” at the upcoming UFC 207 pay-per-view (PPV) event, booked for Dec. 30, 2016 inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
