• Coach: Holly Holm is 'going to be running' against Ronda Rousey

  14-11-2015 20:00
  
  Holly Holm's background is boxing and she was a multiple-time champion in the sport. So why does Ronda Rousey's coach hope that Holm decides to stand and box with his star pupil?
  It's simple, really, Edmond Tarverdyan said recently at a UFC 193 media day at his Glendale Fighting Club gym in Los Angeles. Rousey's range strengths are in the clinch and on the ground. And if Holm stays at boxing distance, there's a good chance the two women will end up in a clinch in the main event of the UFC pay-pe
