Holly Holm's knockout kick to the side of Ronda Rousey's head Saturday night gave fans one of the most shocking upsets in MMA history. But could we be in for another epic fight between the two bantamweight fighters?
Holm sure thinks so.

“I think a rematch makes sense for sure,” Holm said via Yahoo Sports. “I’ve been on the losing side of a fight, and I wanted the rematch; I wanted to avenge my loss. With a champion like Ronda — who has gone out of her way, above and beyond, to do great things — absolutely she deserves a rematch."
Holm has been candid since her upset win which actually resulted in a trip to a local hospital for Rousey.
“I don’t look at this belt and think I’ve made it," Holm said. "I think I still have things that I need to do. I think a rematch, I think that’s kind of unspoken common sense to me.”
So when can we expect a rematch between the two? It won't be anytime soon.
Rousey mentioned before UFC 193 that she doesn't want to fight again until July 9, 2016, at UFC 200 because of three championship fights in less than nine months. Even then, Rousey may want to get a fight under her belt after eight months off before facing Holm again.
