                    <p>Although she was on the right end of a knockout at UFC 193, Holly Holm has been on the other end and believes it could be a good thing for Rousey:</p>

"There's a building time for that," Holm said Thursday on Good Day LA. "I hate that I've been on the other end, but I'll tell you it was a life-changing experience for me. I really learned a lot about myself and about other people."

Six months later, Holm hopped back in the ring with Mathis for a rematch and won a unanimous decision to get her title back. Holm won two more boxing matches after that before making the full-time transition to MMA.

Given those circumstances, it should be no surprise that Holm is willing to grant Rousey a rematch if that's what the former UFC women's bantamweight champion wants. Holm has been there herself and Mathis gave her a chance to get the belt back.

"You don't be on top for that long [and not want the rematch]," Holm said. "I know for me, I thought if I don't give myself an opportunity for this rematch it's going to bother me the rest of my life."

That knockout was savage too. Worse for me than the Ronda one. Although obviously with Rondas fall from grace that knockout is in the history books for good. Phone Post 3.0

I didn't know that Rousey was the one who pushed Holly's hand into her own face at the weigh-ins. Did she do it on purpose to create more hype or is she just that damn stupid?

Holm is probably a psychopath who likes to beat bitches asses. She's basically calling out Ronda, so she can make some big time money. LOL, Ronda dug herself into a shit hole with this one.

Carson's Corner radio show -


KO in question for anyone who hasn't seen it. Scary bad knockout and the worst refereeing I've seen from a boxing ref (and that's saying something). The last two punches Mathis missed when Holm was tied up in the ropes are legit career-enders for sure, 100% power hooks thrown at a defenseless opponent. Mathis looks crude but she's a scary fighter, she clubbed Cecilia Braekhus into unconsciousness as well and they had to rob her with a bullshit DQ/NC.



Major props to Holm for experiencing even bigger success after that point, I wouldnt have expected it. Did I mention what a bad refereeing job that was?

Wow. Been awhile since I watched that.
Ref sucks in case you didn't notice.
Holly is badass. Phone Post 3.0
