Dana White has big expectations for his UFC 193 replacement main event.
Ronda Rousey vs Holly Holm was originally scheduled as the UFC 195 main event in Las Vegas but an injury to UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler left the UFC 193 card without a headlining match up. In steps UFC golden girl, Ronda Rousey.

Seems like the UFC now recognizes that Ronda Rousey is their cash cow and that she’ll sell out any venue, even one that fits 110,000 people. The UFC 193 card as a whole is somewhat lackluster but the same could be said for the UFC 190 card in Brazil and Ronda still made that must watch television. Holm will now have only 3 months worth of preparation, instead of 6, to solve the puzzle that is Ronda Rousey. Let’s just hope she last more than 1 minute in the octagon.
