In a shocking turn of events UFC president Dana White just announced that Holly Holm will take a fight instead of waiting to defend her belt in a rematch against Ronda Rousey at UFC 200.
WOW. You heard it here first. Dana White: “@HollyHolm WILL fight before she fights @RondaRousey.”

This is great for Holly Holm and women’s MMA because the division needs a fighting champion. It has spent its UFC inception wrapped around the schedule of Ronda Rousey and it’s nice to see Holly step in and demand more.
