While Dana White may have preferred Holly Holm wait for the Ronda Rousey rematch instead of taking a fight during the interim, the UFC President couldn’t help but admire the way “The Preacher’s Daughter” went out at UFC 196.
Holm was choked out by Miesha Tate in the co-main event of UFC 196 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, but according to White, “she went out like a gangster.”
“She went out like a gangster,” said White during his appearance on the Max and Marcellus show. “She get choked, she held on, she tried to fight the choke.”
White continued, “Holly Holm technically did everything right to fight the choke. She went up against the fence so Miehsa couldn’t get her other hook in. Then Miesha held on to that choke so tight, she knew she was getting choked, so she got off the fence and tried to dump her on her head, and Miesha still didn’t let go. Those two women both, the way Miesha took that drop on the head, and the way Holly didn’t tap, gangsters.”
