Video: Ronda Rousey Claims She Will Fight In 2016, Still Wants Rematch With Holly Holm

Former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey spoke to TMZ this past weekend about the recent news regarding her asking the UFC for more time off, which led to the UFC signing current UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Holly Holm vs. Miesha Tate instead of waiting for Holm vs. Rousey II.

Rousey told TMZ that she plans to fight before the end of the year. As noted, she asked the UFC for additional time off, as Dana White announced that she would not be fighting at the landmark UFC 200 event in July as they had originally hoped.

“Some time later in the year,” Rousey told TMZ. “They haven’t told me an exact date or location or anything yet.”

Despite having time off from her “day job” as a professional MMA fighter for the UFC, Rousey has a busy schedule as she will be hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend and currently has two movies scheduled heading into the summer.

As noted this past weekend, Universal has purchased the rights to “Do Nothing Bitches,” with Rousey and Tina Fey attached for the movie based off of Rousey’s infamous catchphrase, which she made famous via an episode of UFC 190 Embedded.

Despite the loaded Hollywood schedule, Rousey insists she plans to not only continue fighting, but do so at some point before the calendar year is up.

“It’s a decision we’re all gonna make together, but I’m kind of waiting to hear from them what options they’re gonna give me,” Rousey said.

According to Rousey, she still fully intends to fight UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Holm in an immediate rematch for her next fight, as long as “The Preacher’s Daughter” can get past “Cupcake” Tate in the co-main event of UFC 197 in March.

“Of course,” said Rousey. “That’s what I want to do.”

Coach: Conor McGregor Could Challenge For Third UFC Title Within A Year

It looks like Conor McGregor won’t be satisfied with just two UFC world titles if he manages to defeat Rafael dos Anjos for the UFC Lightweight Championship at UFC 197 in March.

According to “The Notorious” Irishman’s coach, John Kavanagh, McGregor could potentially move all the way up to 170 pounds to challenge Robbie Lawler — or whoever else is champion at the time — for the UFC Welterweight Championship.

Kavanagh told The42.ie the following:

“Conor has been cutting down to 145 pounds since he was 16. He’s now 27 so it will be nice to take a break from that weight-cut. We’ve done it plenty of times before and we’ll do it again. Funnily enough, the last weight-cut â€” for the Aldo fight â€” was probably the best one yet thanks to the help of George Lockhart, who’s on board again for this fight. He’s part of the team now. You’ve seen Conor on salads… now watch what he’s like on steak. And maybe the pursuit of belts won’t stop there either. I’ve said from the beginning that welterweight may not be out of the question. One of Conor’s main sparring partners, Gunnar Nelson, is a welterweight, so Conor is very used to that feel. I would not be at all surprised if we’re preparing to go for a third belt a year from now.”

Coach: Aldo Wasn’t Allowed To Fight For Lightweight Title Like McGregor

The Future of former long-time featherweight champion Jose Aldo is currently unclear at the moment.

The Future of former long-time featherweight champion Jose Aldo is currently unclear at the moment.

Heading into his highly anticipated showdown with Irish star the “Notorious” Conor McGregor at December 12’s UFC 194, “Scarface” had been the only featherweight champion in promotional history, looking to make the eighth consecutive defense of his strap.

In emphatic fashion, Aldo fell from his throne in just 13 seconds due to a vicious McGregor left hand.

Obviously wanting a rematch, Aldo’s camp isn’t happy with the fact that the “Notorious” one will be jumping up a weight class to challenge 155-pound king Rafael dos Anjos in the main event of March 5’s UFC 197.

McGregor will look to become the first fighter in UFC history to simultaneously hold two titles. According to Aldo’s long-time head coach Andre Pederneiras, “Scarface” asked to do the same for nearly four years, but was never given the treatment that the UFC’s golden boy has received:

“Concerning Aldo, we are just waiting to see what the future holds right now since McGregor has been allowed to keep the 145 title while being able to fight or the 155 title,” Pederneiras told Sherdog. “That is something that hasn’t happened before. I spent four years asking the UFC the same thing, to allow Aldo to keep his featherweight belt while going up and contesting at lightweight but it was never allowed. Now we see Conor get the OK on his first request.”

Given the fact that the Irish knockout artist is one of the biggest stars in UFC history, the move makes sense from a business stand point, but it’s also understandable why Aldo’s camp may not be too happy.

With the current state of the 145-pound division, what should be next for “Scarface”?

Holly Holm Endorses Another Company Selling WADA-Banned Supplement

Holly Holm is back in the news for endorsing yet another supplement company selling WADA and UFC-prohibited substances…….

Holly Holm is back in the news for endorsing yet another supplement company selling WADA and UFC-prohibited substances…….

Heading into her anticipated UFC 197 title bout versus Miesha Tate, UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm is back in the news for endorsing yet another controversial supplement company.

Following her shocking UFC 193 knockout win over former dominant champion Ronda Rousey, Holm was linked to supplement maker Intel Pharma, who produced WADA-banned steroid alternative Selective Androgen Modulator Receptors (SARMS), but after cutting ties with the company, now she’s apparently signed a new deal with yet another controversial bodybuilding company.

USA TODAY Sports has reported that Holm recently signed a new two-year deal with Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals according to their owner Jared Wheat. Holm will supposedly appear in an ad for the company alongside five of their products which contain banned stimulant DMAA. The stimulant is comparable to amphetamine and was labeled a potentially serious health risk by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in 2013. The FDA also revealed that DMMA had lead to 86 ‘adverse health events.’

The FDA also seized $2 million worth of the supplement, which is advertised as being a weight loss and performance and enhancement facilitator, from Hi-Tech in 2013, but the company continues to sell DMAA while they remain tied up in court proceedings over the controversial substance.

And they don’t seem to be all that bashful about putting that out in the public, with one product of description of DMAA boasting the following:

“Most companies let the FDA intimidate them into stopping the sales of this extremely potent combination’’ reads one product description. “….Well not Hi-Tech!”

Neither Holm nor his manager were willing to comment on the subject when contacted by USA TODAY, but the UFC issued a quick statement to the news outlet. Jump to page two to find out what they said about their newly crowned champion…
