Holly Holm is ready and willing to make a rematch happen with Ronda Rousey.

11 years later, Ronda Rousey recently predicted she would clean Holly Holm‘s clock if they ran it back.

Holly Holm keeps rematch offer on the table

Holly Holm insisted that she has always been open to making a rematch with Ronda Rousey during an interview on Wednesday.

‘The Preacher’s Daughter’ believes it’s something Rousey doesn’t truly want, despite her trash talk.

“Yeah, she said she’d clean my clock or something like that, or whatever,” Holm told Ariel Helwani.

“You can say one thing, and actions are another. She’s always going to be more of that type of person.

“The thing is, I’ve always stood for a rematch. That’s the bottom line. She doesn’t want it, she’s never wanted it, and that’s alright. That’s all right. Just say you don’t want it.

“I don’t think that she really wants to, and I’m not even mad at her for it. I don’t want someone to get in there and fight if they don’t want to actually fight because I want someone

“I 100 percent always said, she wants a rematch, I’ll give it to her.”

Ronda Rousey insists she’s retired for good

Ronda Rousey instantly retired after submitting Gina Carano in 17 seconds to win her comeback fight last month.

The UFC Hall of Famer doubled down on her retirement decision while confidently predicting she would beat Holly Holm in a rematch.

“I definitely have the ability and the opportunity to be able to f—ing clean her clock and rewrite all of that, but it’s no longer important to me anymore,” Rousey said about Holm.

“It doesn’t haunt me. It’s not the most important thing in my life, and these people’s perceptions and people knowing how great I am, and all this stuff.

“I know how good I am, and my kids need me in their lives, and I want to be there for them, and this isn’t the most important thing anymore.

“And of course, the time that I get where I can now go back and do that, I don’t want to go back, I only want to go forward.”
