Holly Holm Doesn’t Regret Not Taking Ronda Rousey Rematch

June 14, 2017 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Holly Holm spoke with MMAjunkie ahead of her fight with Bethe Correia at UFC 214. The highlights are below:

On not waiting for a rematch with Ronda Rousey in March 2016: “I didn’t want my career to be based around one person or one fight or wait for the rematch because of the money. That’s just not how – I don’t fight for money. I fight for passion. A lot of people from the outside looking at the business aspect are thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, you should have waited and just fought Ronda in the rematch.’ But there’s a lot that’s happened since then.”

On her recent fights: “I’m never going to sit there and say I coulda, shoulda, woulda done this. The only thing I do with I coulda, shoulda, woulda done is just win whatever fight I had, not wait for the one fight. I don’t ever feel like that. My whole career is not defined around one fight. This is my whole career, and the only thing I regret is not doing better in the fights that I’ve had.”
