Holly Holm will be taking on Ronda Rousey for the Bantamweight world title at UFC 193 in Australia, both fighter are undefeated with Ronda as the heavy favorite but many experts as well as Ronda says this is her biggest test yet.
Holly is a proven world champion boxer coming into this fight which in the past we have seen Ronda lack in that part of her game.
Ronda has been seen with a lot of boxing talent as of late preparing for this fight so we could see a good fight or it could be the same ole same ole.
One thing we have seen in the past with Holly is that she has deadly kicks, She’s been known to knock out fighters with her kicks which proves that she might have a way to get to Ronda.
The only thing we have not seen from Holly is her ground game since she has joined the mma scene and that could Ronda’s best advantage in the fight so we will see what happens.
