Dana White: Holly Holm will fight before she fights Ronda Rousey

Holly Holm

UFC President Dana White is optimistic former women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey will return to the UFC later this year, but Holly Holm isn’t waiting around for that.

On today’s new edition of FOX Sports 1’s “UFC Tonight,” White stopped short of announcing what’s next for current champ Holm, but did reveal she’s getting back to action before Rousey.

The leading candidate for the matchup would seem to be Miesha Tate, though White declined to reveal any further details. More on this in just a moment.
