Ronda Rousey UFC 193 News: Fighter To Retire After Fight? Statement Released!
Mixed Martial Arts champion Ronda Rousey plans to disappear after her title fight against Holly Holm at UFC 193, according to USA Today Sports.
The fight is happening on Nov. 14, at the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia. The stadium has 60,000 seats and the fight may bring a record-setting crowd in attendance.
"Rowdy" says she needed to sell the fight and does not have the option not to.
Rousey has been working hard at promoting the fight, appearing on "The Tonight Show", "Ellen," and even guest hosted on "SportsCenter." She has also achieved history-making cover shoots for Ring Magazine.
"I'm selling a product and I have to be out there," says Ronda Rousey to Rolling Stone. "I don't have the option not to be."
She continues, "But, after this fight, I'm definitely going to let some people miss me, for sure. Believe me, there's nothing I would like to do more than disappear for a while."
According to Rousey, in a recent interview, Holm wouldn't be able to handle the responsibilities and attention that come with being a UFC champion. Holm disagreed.
"(I'm ready for) the limelight that comes with being champion," says Holm. "Trust me, every time something comes it's just going to remind me, 'I'm the champion.' I think I can handle that."
Ronda plans to wait until UFC 200 to fight again, this is tentatively scheduled on July 9, 2016 and in the meantime, Rousey will be filming movies.
She has two upcoming films, with a remake of "Road House" and "Mile 22."
Ronda's fight with Holly will be her third in 10 months, and only three months since she knocked Beth Correia's block off at UFC 190, reveals MMA Mania.
UFC 193 tickets start at $749 Australian dollars all the way up to $3,999 for VIP tickets
Ronda Rousey admits that she won't have peace of mind during her break unless she defeats Holm at UFC 193.
She describes the fight as her "biggest challenge to date."
