Holly Holm has done and said all the right things since taking home the UFC bantamweight crown in stunning fashion against Ronda Rousey.
But the humble champ might want to tell her camp and coach Mike Winkelijohn to calm down after his comments about Rousey on Submission Radio, per MMA Mania.
"I hope so (she'll fight at UFC 200). You know, that's Holly. She has fought five times in one year, so she's active. She has that Cowboy Cerrone mentality where she just wants to fight and get through this thing. She likes to fight. So in a perfect world, that'd be fantastic. Let's have her fight, go fight whoever they give us. Show the world that it's not one-and-done with Holly Holm, that she can destroy the next person. And then, if Ronda has the guts to do it again, let's do it again for some big money. And that's great for those girls."
The emphasis was mine, but asking if the former baddest woman on the planet "has the guts" to do it again seems unwise. Rousey was not prepared for Holm's standup and seemed flustered for much of their first bout.
Giving the former champ time to prepare and develop her technique ahead of a second matchup, with add incentive to win her belt and embarrass Holm could be bad news for the current champ.
Holm will look to continue her teardown of the division when she defends her title against Miesha Tate at UFC 197 in March.
