It is almost impossible not to know who Ronda Rousey is. The UFC Women's Bantamweight champion of the world has her face plastered on all forms of media around the world, and is poised to fight this weekend at UFC 193.
Caught up in the hype of their bout in UFC 193 is Rousey's next opponent, Holly "The Preacher's Daughter" Holm.

Holm, a distinguished women's boxing champion herself, believes of course that she can defeat Rousey when the two meet this weekend in Melbourne Australia. However, according to Yahoo! Sports Holm is an amazing 18 to 1 underdog.
When asked about being such a heavy underdog, Holm simply replied that she doesn't mind that fact and that she would never take fight that she believed that she couldn't win.
Most experts believe that the fight will come down to how Holm can deal with the Judo style of Rousey and if Holm can escape the infamous Rousey armbar submission.
Bloody Elbow reports that Holm's strength lies in the fact that the former women's boxing champion is actually a southpaw fighter, which could give Rousey angles that she is not used to and therefore throwing the UFC Women's champion of her tempo.
Getting Rousey off her tempo and making the champion fight her style of fight seems the only way Holm could get out of the first round of the fight. Rousey is well known for her explosiveness and finishing power, as eight of the champion's nine UFC fights have not made it out of the first round.
Holm, however, is more known for her ability to slowly pick and grind away at her opponent, finding the exact right time to knock them out with her signature high head kick.
UFC 193: Rousey vs. Holm is set for Nov. 14, 2015 and will be shown live from Melbourne, Australia via pay-per-view.
