Ronda Rousey responds to Holly Holm, claims she would ‘clean her clock’ in a rematch but insists ‘I’m retired’
Ronda Rousey has responded to Holly Holm's recent comments with confidence, claiming she would "clean her clock" in a rematch despite insisting she remains retired from MMA. Holm, who famously knocked out Rousey with a head kick in 2015 to claim the UFC bantamweight title and hand the Olympic bronze medalist her first professional loss, recently suggested another fight between them is unlikely. Speaking to media, Holm acknowledged that while she has always been open to a rematch, Rousey appears satisfied with her comeback victory over Gina Carano earlier this year—her first fight in a decade—and has no interest in returning to competition. Rousey's swift win over Carano came after nearly ten years away from MMA, reigniting speculation about potential high-profile matchups. However, the former champion has made clear her fighting days are behind her. That 2015 loss to Holm remains one of the most shocking moments in UFC history, ending Rousey's dominant bantamweight reign and launching Holm into the spotlight. For now, Rousey appears content to leave the sport on her own terms, despite her expressed confidence in how another bout with Holm would unfold.
