Now that much of the hoopla surrounding former UFC Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey‘s crushing defeat at the hands (or feet) of Holly Holm has died down, UFC President Dana White recently revealed that a rematch is between the two is a certainty. Fight fans are itching at the bit to see the two fighters square off again, but it may be quite some time before that happens.
Though she fully intends on returning to the octagon, Rousey stated that she is still reeling both physically and mentally from the loss, saying that she is “really f**king sad” about the defeat. As for the rematch, and her recovery process for the kick heard round the world, “It might be three to six months before I can eat an apple, let alone take an impact.”
It gets real in the field. Or mat.
