Holly Holm Calls Her Win Against Ronda Rousey “Priceless”

New UFC Womens Bantamweight Champion Holly Holm, who shocked the world when she knocked out Ronda Rousey at UFC 193, spoke with Rolling Stone after the fight and below are some interview highlights:

On being the underdog in the Rousey fight:

“I’ve been the underdog more than once, and it’s fine with me. Every day in training, I’m up against great training partners. Every day is a test for me, so I don’t mind being an underdog,” she says. “Some of these girls put her so high up on a pedestal that they’re not remembering they’re in there for a reason. I’m in there for a reason – because I have the capability and the ability to win.”

On how it felt to defeat Ronda Rousey:

“I want to show people I’m made up of a lot and I have a lot of potential to do great things in this sport,” she says. “I don’t get in there thinking, ‘I’m fighting for my paycheck.’ I get in there thinking, ‘I want to win this fight.’ The feeling of a victory is priceless. You can’t put money on that.”
