Where Does Ronda Rousey Go After Defeat? Dana White And Holly Holm Waiting For Her Strong Comeback

The MMA world is still stunned with the events that transpired in UFC 193 after newly crowned champ, Holly Holm dealt a devastating knock-out against former UFC Bantamweight champ, Ronda Rousey.

For Holm, the fight with Rousey is history as she told Rolling Stone that she's finally moved on from her victory. Perhaps, it's time for Rousey to do the same and Holm believes that her rival is at that stage already.

"Is [Ronda] going to come back hard? Ten times as hard. She's going to want to avenge that loss, and I get that. But I've been on that side before, so I'm going to be ready," Holm said.

But Rousey won't be getting that chance anytime soon as she is suspended for 180 days to recover from the fight.

Meanwhile, UFC president Dana White said that she sees Mike Tyson in the fallen champ and he is expecting nothing less from Rousey once she's back on top shape and is on the road to get back her title.

"I was just saying this morning we used to call her, she was our version of Mike Tyson, she had that Mike Tyson aura about her and now losing you see that she really did," White said, via Fox Sports. "She really did have that Mike Tyson aura."

White added that he believes Rousey will be able to shrug it off and see the fact that she's only human. As an example, he mentioned Muhammad Ali and Tyson suffered defeats as well but still went down as legends in their sport.

"She's a fierce competitor. Losing is not even in her vocabulary. Never crosses her mind in any way, shape or form did she think she was going to lose that fight so now she has to overcome this, get back in the gym, and come back," White said via Opening Round.

At the end of the day, we found out Muhammad Ali was human, Mike Tyson was human, Ronda Rousey is human," White said. "Everybody's human and in every sport people win and lose. I think the story now is how will Ronda come back from this?"
