UFc female bantamweight Holly Holm isn’t about to provide Miesha Tate with any added ammunition ahead of UFC 196 this Saturday night.

The two will meet in the co-main event from Las Vegas and the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

During open workouts on Wednesday, Holm (10-0) was asked her thoughts on a potential late-2016 rematch with Ronda Rousey. The former world boxing champion knocked Rousey out last year to win the belt.

“At this point, I’m not looking past March 5,” Holm said (thanks to MMAjunkie.com for the quotes). “That’s as far as my mind will let me go, that’s as far as my heart and my passion will let me go.

“You’re never promised another fight. I want to make sure I make the most of this fight and not look past it.”

Originally, UFC officials wanted to pair Holm and Rousey up for an immediate rematch. However, the former U.S. Olympic bronze medalist requested time off following her first career loss in 13 pro bouts.

Instead, Holm gets Tate, who is a former Strikeforce champion and has won four of her six UFC fights as part of a 17-5 career record.

“When I first signed with the UFC, everybody was talking about the title fight with Ronda,” Holm said. “I still had to focus on the fights at hand before I could ever get there. And right now, I have Miesha in front of me, so I’m focusing on that.

“I’m glad the fans want to see things, because that’s why they’re in the stands. I just hope I give them fights that they want to see, and right now, Miesha’s next.”

The 34-year-old Holm has scored Octagon victories over Rousey, Marion Reneau and Raquel Pennington after winning fights in Legacy FC and Bellator MMA. She has finished seven of her 10 opponents via knockout.

Holly Holm is fighting Miesha Tate on Saturday, and her coach Mike Winkeljohn has a prediction for how it will finish. On Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour, Winkeljohn gave credit to Tate, but said Holm wil…

“Second round KO for Holly Holm,” Winkeljohn predicted. “Yeah a lot like [the Rousey fight]; just as dominant.”

“[Holm]’s firing on all 12. She’s a high-tech European racecar. Same going in for Ronda, I won’t lie, we were confident for that one as well. I think Holly is going to dominate the fight and do real well. There are a lot of things you need to watch for and Miesha is very strong and very dangerous in many ways, but yeah she’s [Holm] been looking good so far.

“You know, [Tate]’s number one for a reason,” Winkeljohn continued. “She’s been around for a long time and she’s pretty darn good everywhere. She hits hard; she’s tapping people out. Her wrestling is very good. You see that she’s beaten jiu jitsu people, she’s beaten wrestlers and she’s beaten strikers so she’s very good at what she does.”

UFC 196 takes place on March 5, 2016 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Holly Holm Says She Doesn’t Care About UFC 196 Main Event Snub As Long As She’s Fighting

Holly Holm is booked to defend her Women’s Bantamweight Title against Miesha Tate at UFC 196, but it’s not the main event. Previously, Dana White had made a definitive statement regarding title fights on his pay-per-view cards:

“Whether men, women, the lightest weight division there is,” White said in 2013. “If you’re the champion, you’re the headliner. You’re the top of the card.”

Holm, who is coming off an impressive victory over Ronda Rousey at UFC 193 in November, told MMA Junkie that she isn’t upset to be taking a backseat to the main event of Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz in a non-title fight.

“I don’t care if it’s the first fight, the last fight, [or] the second to last fight,” Holm explained, “I have zero concern about that. A lot of people are like, ‘You should be the main event.’ I’m like, ‘co-main is fine.’ I have my fight. That’s all I care about. And I’m so glad because that’s really not a concern or care of mine.”

UFC 196 takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, March 5, 2016. We’ll have live round-by-round results of the event right here on MMANews.com.

Video: Miesha Tate Admits Even She Wants To See Holly Holm vs. Ronda Rousey II

While she is no doubt focused on her own battle against Holly Holm at UFC 196 this Saturday, longtime Women’s Bantamweight contender Miesha Tate recently admitted that even she is anticipating a Holm vs. Ronda Rousey rem…

Tate, who challenges Holm for the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship in the co-main event of this Saturday’s pay-per-view, stated the following about wanting to see Holm-Rousey II during her recent appearance on ESPN SportsCenter:

“I wanna see the rematch too, at some point, I think everybody does. As a fan of the sport myself, I would love to see that. When I go in there and win the belt on Saturday, that’s probably gonna throw a wrench in the mix, so they can either put the trilogy together between Ronda and myself, with me as the champion, or they can make a non-title bout between Holly and Ronda, whatever they prefer, but I just wanna go in there on March 5 and win the belt.”
