Video: Holly Holm Responds To Former WWE Star Claiming Her Fight With Rousey Was “Fixed”

New UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Holly Holm appeared as a guest on Larry King Now and during the interview, “The Preacher’s Daughter” responded to claims made by former WWE Superstar Taz that her fight with Ronda Rousey at UFC 193 was “fixed,” and that Rousey was “in on it.”

“No. No MMA fighting, especially with the UFC, is going to be ‘set up,'” said the undefeated UFC champion. “These fighters go in there, and there’s a reason Dana [White] gives out those performance bonuses.”

As we reported on Saturday, during her appearance on the show, Holm addressed the fact that Rousey refused to touch gloves with her in the Octagon before their fight in Melbourne, Australia and she revealed what she told Rousey during a private moment in the cage after their fight.
