Ronda Rousey clarifies stance on Holly Holm rematch

When, not if.

Ronda Rousey backed out of her slated rematch against UFC bantamweight champ Holly Holm at UFC 200, but the former champion isn't completely fading away.

Rousey spoke with TMZ, noting she's not retiring and a rematch is still expected to go down in 2016, per Bleacher Report.

"They [the UFC] haven't told me an exact date or location. ... It's a decision we're all going to make together, but I'm kind of waiting to hear from them what options they're going to give me," said Rousey.

"Of course [there'll be a rematch with Holm]."

Rousey is smart to take her time coming back to the Octagon, as the former baddest woman on the planet was simply outmatched and outstruck, resulting in the vicious knockout. How she responds in Rousey-Holm 2 could be telling for how the rest of her career plays out.
