Ronda Rousey thinks she would easily beat Holly Holm in a rematch.
Earlier this week, Holm told MMA Fighting that she would be open to fighting Rousey again ten years after their last fight.

“I highly doubt she’ll ever want a rematch,” Holm told MMA Fighting. “I always have said since the minute the last fight was over, I’ll always rematch her. That’s always been available. But she wanted to come back and have this win and go back and enjoy and have a win like that. No hate from me. I hope she does well. I hope she does whatever she wants with her life. That’s her life. I’d always be open to fight her again.”
Rousey fired back at Holm and insists that she should easily beat her longtime rival because she’s on a new medication that helps with her neurological issues.
“I said I’m retired, A and B, I think that I am a completely different fighter now. I would clean her clock and definitely now that I got that new medication,” Rousey said on Up and Adams. “I took it before. I was diagnosed with cortical spreading depression, which was always happening in my last fights and basically why I was like I need to stop. I thought my concussions were catching up to me.
“This is the first fight where I was able to take it and when I spiked my head into the mat, that’s exactly the kind of thing that would have set me off before. I would have lost big chunks of my vision and it didn’t come back at all. It ended up working perfectly in a live situation.”
“I definitely have the ability and opportunity to be able to f*cking clean her clock.”

Rousey spoke about her neurological issues during a recent interview with Ariel Helwani.

“I was dealing with these neurological issues for such a long time, and I didn’t understand what was going on,” Rousey told Helwani. “They were getting worse and worse and worse. It just finally came to a head in that fight [against Holly Holm]. I just felt like it finally caught up to me, and my career was over. It was more than just losing a fight. It was, ‘Man, I can’t fight anymore.’
“There’s a lot of people that think I’m making it up or don’t believe me,” she continued. “Neurological problems are an injury that nobody else can see, and I think what I hated most about it was the very first time I got hit in that [Holm] fight, it knocked all my lower teeth loose and cut my lip open. I got this huge migraine aura, a big chunk of my vision missing, like losing my depth perception and ability to think clearly, quickly and track moving objects, but I was still on my feet and balanced. I’ve been trained my whole life to not show hurt, then they’re going to capitalize and know [if I show them]. So that entire fight was just me trying to hide the fact that I couldn’t see or think.”
