Miesha Tate - Holly Holm fight is on March 5

Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey fight rematch is not happening anytime soon. Instead, the new UFC bantamweight champ will step on the octagon against Miesha Tate for her next fight.

People did not get what they want for Holly Holm's next fight but tournament officials believe she is in for a tough bout. In fact, a striking trainer believes there is a good chance she will get knocked out.

"I'd actually love to work with Miesha for the next fight," Martinez told MMAjunkie. "I think I could be a good part of her team and definitely teach her how to beat Holly.

"Sure, outstrike her and even knock her out. Anything can happen."

In previous interviews, Holly Holm said she is open to another fight with Ronda Rousey but insists her main focus right now is Miesha.

"I was open to a rematch, I just wanted whatever opportunity that was going to come," she said as per report by Daily Mail.

"This is more of a challenging way to go, there's a lot of pressure behind it and a lot of anticipation after the last fight. Who wants to be a one-hit wonder? People say I've made it to the top but that's one fight."

She added, "Every fight is one to get better and do well at. If the rematch had come, that's what I'd have focused on. Now it's Miesha, that's what I'm going to focus on and the whole thought of the rematch isn't on my mind."

Many fans are putting their money on the current UFC women's bantamweight champion since she is just coming off a resounding victory.

Her victory will also mean an automatic rematch with Ronda Rousey as UFC president Dana White said the winner of the Holly Holm-Miesha Tate fight will go up against Rowdy probably in November.

"The winner of that fight (between Holm and Tate) will fight Ronda, probably in November," White said as per Bloody Elbow.

Holly Holm and Miesha Tate's fight will take place on March 5.
