Holly Holm was part of one of the greatest upsets in MMA history when she knocked out Ronda Rousey. But the fighter believes that it was no fluke even if they meet again in the next fight.

In fact, 10 out of 10, Holly Holm thinks she can beat Ronda Rousey if ever they meet again, which would be highly likely as the former undefeated champ has a rematch clause.

In an interview with NY Times, she said, "If I tell myself that there is one that I might not get, then I'll be vulnerable."

"I also know that I'm beatable, so I'm going to train twice as hard. She's going to come back. She's mad that it's not her title anymore. I've got to be twice as ready as last time," Holly Holm added.

Ronda Rousey, after suffering a beating in her lone defeat, has a promise for Holly Holm for their next fight.

"Fake a** cheap shotting fake respect fake humility bitch - "preacher's daughter" my a** - I see through your fake sweet act now - you're getting your ass kicked tomorrow, and I'm really going to enjoy the beating I give you #andSTILL," she wrote on her Instagram.

Holly Holm said that what's working for her is her style, which is very different from the fighters faced by Ronda Rousey.

"I have a different kind of experience than other girls had," she said. "I've had to face a lot of different styles and adjust to them. I had to face a lot of bad situations and come back. I've had to fight with my eyes swollen shut and my nose broken and bloody. I've been the underdog before. Those types of moments helped me in this moment."

After her beating from Holly Holm, Ronda Rousey was given a six-month medical suspension where she's not allowed to full-contact training unless she passed the CT scan.

According to UFC president Dana White, the next fight between Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey will happen in the next few months.
