When the UFC announced the hiring of Holly holm, great expectations were created that the blonde could rival the champion Ronda Rousey, both inside the octagon and as the organization's muse. However, the wait turned into frustration when Holm was injured on the eve of his first fight, which would take place on December 6th. Now, Holly is already planning her debut at the event for next year, perhaps even with the right to challenge Ronda.

“Last year I fought six times in 12 months. This year, only once, because I broke my arm and had a herniated disc. So what can I do. It's been 16 years without injuries and I don't think I can complain. I'm just trying to recover without getting too frustrated. There was a lot of expectation for my first fight in the UFC, so it was a big disappointment, especially since I was already in the final stretch of my training camp and had already worked hard. But I'm overcoming it and I'm ready to fight again (next year). Ronda has obviously destroyed everyone he's fought in the UFC and there's no doubt she's the toughest girl. However, no one is unbeatable. I want to have the chance to go there against her, in the best sporting way. If you don't want to go out there and fight the best or get the belt, then maybe you shouldn't even be fighting”, said the blonde, in an interview with the “MMA Fighting” website.
