In her interview on Monday with HuffPost Live, Holm says she has not talked to Ronda after their bout. When asked about a potential fight with the Invicta champion on the Talking Brawls MMA.com podcast, Holm’s striking coach Mike Winklejohn said that Holm is always game for a fight.

“I think that as far as Ronda with the rematch, I feel like for her, do what you want to do”, she during the Friday edition of Inside MMA. “But I’ve been on that side before, so I’m going to be ready”, Holm says.
The “Rowdy” one made it well-known that she wouldn’t budge on the weight discrepancy, admitting that she would only fight Justino at 135-pounds. If I beat Holly then I’m 5-0 and I beat the girl who beat Ronda, what better case could they ever make to have me fight Ronda again? “I’ve been the No. 1 contender and I worked my ass off to get to be the No. 1 contender”, Tate said.
Yet while most fans prefer to believe that dominant fighters don’t lose, the reality is that even the greatest fighters have lost: Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Robinson, Anderson Silva … the list goes on. But, could the UFC look at having Holm fight “Justino” at some juncture?
Her life has indeed changed since beating Rousey in Australia earlier this month. This is the fight business. She has this big judo background, tons of tournaments, an Olympic medal, and she’s been running through everybody.
“The reason why this is such a big shock to everybody and shock to the world is because it was that big of a risk to take”, Holm said. “I’m not finished with my career, so we’ll see what happens”.
Holm knows it won’t be easy to have a repeat performance of Sunday’s fight, though.
