Ronda Rousey may still be recovering from her defeat at the hands of Holly Holm, but the former champ has her mind set on a rematch.
And if her first bout with Holm had high stakes, the rematch will have even more on the line.
“I guess it’s all going to be determined by what happens in the rematch,” Rousey told ESPN. “Everything is going to be determined by that. Either I’ll win and keep going or I won’t and I’ll be done with everything.”

That rematch, however, will have to be some time off. Rousey can barely eat an apple, let alone take a punch. But her determination and will to fight is unshaken.
“I need to come back. I need to beat this chick. Who knows if I’m going to pop my teeth out or break my jaw or rip my lip open,” she said.
“Of course [I’ll fight again]. What else am I going to f–king do?”
