Even before she arrived in the UFC, people had Holm tabbed as a potential test for Rousey. Still, it might have been nice to give her a little more time to get her legs under her on the big stage before she earned this title shot. There is a real danger she has been handed her chance at Rousey and bantamweight gold before she really hits her stride in the UFC.

‘She’s scared and excited and feels like she literally has her life on the line with every fight,’ former Strikeforce bantamweight champion Sarah Kaufman said. ‘She thinks of it as a fight more than a sport. She sees it as a fight for her life. That’s why she comes out as quickly as she does. I don’t think she necessarily spends that much time thinking about what her opponent is going to do. She has this mindset of ‘this is what I’m going to do.’ There’s not a defensive thought in her head. That’s pretty huge.’
