In his last three fights, Ronda Rousey spent 16, 14 and 34 seconds in the octagon, respectively, against Alexis Davis, Zingano cat and the Brazilian Beth Pitbull. But, if it depends on Ronda herself, her next title defense, against the also undefeated Holly holm at UFC 193, there won't be such a quick outcome. In an interview on North American TV, the champion praised her rival highly and said that she expects a longer fight than against Bethe in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), in August.

“This fight (against Holly holm) will be much longer (than the last one) because she is a 19-time world boxing champion with 100% success in takedown defense and several knockouts with kicks to the head. She's undefeated and she's an incredible athlete, and she's definitely the biggest threat I've ever had, especially in the role and the marriage of styles,” the blonde told host Jimmy Fallon on the talk show “The Tonight Show.”
Ronda also said that, unlike her last appearances, she will not try to define the fight immediately against Holm, as she is a rival with very peculiar characteristics. “She’s the type of fighter you have to be very, very patient with. I feel like she's going to try to keep me at long range and try to frustrate me to the point where I'm going to make a mistake and she might kick me in the head, but things aren't going to go that way – not the way she wants.” , he assured.
Ronda Rousey e Holly holm face each other on November 14th, in Melbourne, Australia. The duel will be the main fight of UFC 193, an event that will be held at the “Etihad Stadium”, a football stadium with a capacity for more than 70 thousand fans – and which promises to break the attendance record in the history of Ultimate.
