And she believes that a Rousey loss would be a positive thing for women’s MMA.
“I think it would benefit greatly,” Holm told MMAFighting.com in a recent interview. “I think when you see one person do well or kind of bring down the No. 1, then everybody thinks, well if she can do that, I can, too.”
“I think it kind of brings that person down to a normal level,” Holm said. “Look at Anderson Silva. He almost seemed impossible to stop. When it happened, it was like, ‘Well, he is beatable.’ It’s hard to beat him. He’s seriously one of the greatest of all time. But it’s possible.”
“That’s my hope and that’s my plan,” Holm said of becoming the UFC women’s bantamweight champion. “The goal is to get the belt, obviously. If you don’t have that goal, then get out of the game.”
