With Ronda Rousey missing from the face of the Earth since her loss to Holly Holm last month, it’s been UFC president Dana White’s job to speak in her place and promote whatever angles work best for the fight organization in the long run. “It wasn’t just my team that helped me believe in myself but it was the support of Albuquerque and I just thank you so much.’ The crowd cheered and chanted her name, of course”, she was quoted by Daily Mail as saying.

“I love you guys”, she said to the crowd in the Civic Plaza after a downtown parade.
Now that looks like a pretty decent day, with 20,000 of her closest friends. “We had Johnny Tapia, Danny Romero and now we have Holly Holm”, said Angela Gurule.
“It’s insane, because you win and lose in the fight game”, White said. She also signed some autographs and posed for snapshots. But I feel like Ronda has always had a lot on her plate.
“It’s amusing because we were comparing her to Tyson, who had this invincibility”. I feel there’s so much love out there.
The 34-year-old Holm captured the belt from the previously undefeated Ronda Rousey on November 14 in Australia. I’m looking forward to seeing how Ronda Rousey fills out Patrick Swayze’s jeans as much as the next person, but it’s her performances in the cage that really interest me in the end.

Holm was able to deliver several brutal blows on Rousey’s head before the referee got in between them, which ended the 12-fight unbeaten run of Rowdy, and handed the bantamweight title to the New Mexico native.
