Ahead of their much anticipated fight, Rounda Rousey and Holly Holm's weigh-in on Friday turned out to be a heated face-off at Etihad Stadium.

According to Fox Sports, right after the weigh-ins, where both fighters clocked 134 pounds, Rousey and Holm got into a scuffle in front of the crowd. Holm appeared to put her fist on Rousey's left chin as they posed for photos during a stare down. Rousey then attempted to lock Holm's arm as she tried to push her.

UFC President Dana White had to come in between the two and separate them. After the extremely intense face off, the challenger told the interviewer that she is here to shock the world.

"She's the brand for everyone but I'm a different fighter." Holly Holm said to the interviewer.

Holm left the stage while Rousey was still being interviewed. When asked about what happened on stage, the angered Ronda Rousey said that Holm was the first one who put a fist on her face. "She's the one who put her fist on my face." Rousey said.

The champion also commented on Holm's sweet act.

"I see that it's fake and you're going to get it on Sunday." Rousey stated. "I'm going to show you on Sunday why I'm the champion."

Rousey is set to defend her UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship title against the challenger Holly Holm on Sunday afternoon, November 15, at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia.
