Former undisputed bantamweight champion, Holly Holm has reacted to claims from former-foe, Ronda Rousey that she had suffered a concussion due to a fall in the days before their 2015 title fight ahead of a new memoir release, claiming the inaugural gold holder likely finds it problematic to admit she was the lesser fighter on that occasion.
Holm, a former bantamweight champion and the inaugural featherweight championship challenger, is set to return to the Octagon this weekend on the preliminary card of UFC 300 – welcoming two-time Olympic gold medal winner, PFL star, Kayla Harrison to the promotion in a bantamweight clash.
And as for Rousey, the Hall of Fame inductee called time on her decorated mixed martial arts career back in 2017, following a second consecutive knockout loss in the form of a first round barrage defeatto former two-division champion, Amanda Nunes.
Revealing a bleak history with a slew of concussions and neurological issues which plagued her mixed martial arts career, Rousey claimed a fall down a flight of stairs ahead of her fight with Holm in Australia, resulted in a concussion ahead of fight night.
Reacting to Rousey’s claims – as well as her idea that despite fan and pundit opinion, she is the greatest fighter of all time, Holm suggested it was likely near impossible for the Riverside native to admit that she was the lesser fighter when they locked horns.
“If you’ve made a career of fighting, you’ve had a concussion at some point,” Holly Holm told assembled media ahead of UFC 300. “You go back and look at some of my boxing fights and some of the things I’ve done, I’ve definitely had some concussions. I’ll never sit here and use that as an excuse for any loss.”
“I think that it’s probably just hard for her (Ronda Rousey) to maybe admit that – I was just the better fighter,” Holly Holm explained. “Was she so dominant and a good champion? 100 percent, I give her that. But she wasn’t better than me, and especially that night.”
Herself returning to the Octagon this weekend as part of the massive UFC 300 card, Holm takes on former two-time PFL lightweight champion, Harrison in a potential bantamweight title-eliminator.

Ali Abdelaziz, the manager of Kayla Harrison claims the Olympic gold medalist is Ronda Rousey on steroids.
Harrison is set to make her UFC debut on Saturday at UFC 300 against former champion Holly Holm. It’s an intriguing matchup and heading into the bout, she is a sizeable betting favorite, as a win over Holm could secure her a title shot.
Ultimately, Ali Abdelaziz is confident his client will get a big win over Holly Holm, as he believes Kayla Harrison’s rise will be bigger than Ronda Rousey, which is why he says Harrison is Rousey on steroids.
“She will make weight and listen, at the end of the day, just tune in,” Abdelaziz said in an interview with Kevin Iole (via MMAMania).. “She will be one of the biggest stars, she does what she have to do against Holly Holm. She’s very tough, very seasonal, she’ll go there and smash her. She’ll get a title shot, become a UFC champion. We have a Ronda Rousey on steroids, that’s what we have.”
If Harrison does finish Holm it would be a statement-making win, and the odds are suggesting she will get a big win at UFC 300.
However, there are some concerns about Kayla Harrison’s weight, as she is dropping down to 135lbs. But, Abdelaziz says the weight won’t be an issue at all.
“That’s the best thing overall for her life as an individual. Losing all this extra weight, feeling good about yourself, looking great,” he said. “She look like amazing and healthier. Right? She’s close to weight, she’s not far from it. She have a lot of muscles,” he added. “And people who lose weight? Water inside the muscle. People who are muscular, it’s a lot easier to lose weight than people who have fat. She’s got a great team around her, Mike Brown, a lot of other people. Everybody, don’t worry about her weight.
“Everybody using her weight as excuse to not fight her or not going to fight if she miss weight or whatever. At the end of the day, she’s a two-time Olympic champion, two-time PFL champion, never missed weight, make 145 during COVID in her room, you know what I’m saying?,” Abdelaziz continued.
If Kayla Harrison can make 135lbs and beat Holm, a title shot could very well be next.

Former PFL women’s lightweight champion Kayla Harrison will be dropping 20lbs to lightweight to face Holly Holm in her promotional debut at UFC 300.
It was revealed that Harrison had signed with the UFC and she would make her debut at UFC 300 against the former champ in Holm. It was a massive fight for her, but the bigger story was the fact that she would be dropping down to bantamweight, which Harrison says was a mental hurdle for her.
“To their credit, they did not beat around the bush,” Harrison told MMA Junkie of the UFC’s negotiation. “It was very clear that if you want to fight here, this is the weight you’re going to fight at, and that was a big mental hurdle for me to get through – just figure out: Can I do this? Is this what I want to do? It’s hard, because most people don’t realize that I’ve been training two-a-day since I was 12 years old.
“There was definitely a piece of me that was like, ‘F*ck that. You’ve done enough. Why would you spend the last part of your career cutting an extra 10 pounds? Like, why?’ Then there was another part piece of me that was like, ‘Well, we grow at the edges of our comfort zone, and this is you being all in. It doesn’t get much harder than this. You’re cutting to a new weight class, you’re fighting in the promotion, and you’re fighting the legend. This is it. You’re either all in or not in.’ I liked that, and I think that brings out the best version of me,” Harrison added.
Despite Kayla Harrison cutting down more weight, she doesn’t expect that will impact her chin or strength. Instead, she has confidence she will be able to compete at her best and secure a win over Holm.
“I don’t think I’m going to lose anything,” Harrison said. “I think we’re going to see the best version of me. I’ve been disciplined. I’ve been dedicated. I haven’t skipped any steps. I haven’t left a stone unturned. My team is all in, I’m all in, my family’s all in, and I think I’m about to shine really f*cking bright.”
If Harrison can get past Holm, the Olympic gold medalist could get a title shot at 135lbs next time out.
