The former UFC women’s bantamweight champion is no longer “haunted” by her loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193 back in late 2015 and has no desire to rematch “The Preacher’s Daughter.” Probably because “Rowdy” was able to return to the win column by submitting Gina Carano for MVP earlier this month on Netflix.

“I highly doubt she’ll ever want a rematch,” Holm said. “I always have said since the minute the last fight was over, I’ll always rematch her. That’s always been available. But she wanted to come back and have this win and go back and enjoy life and have a win like that. No hate from me. I hope she does well. I hope she does whatever she wants with her life. That’s her life. I’d always be open to fight her again.”

Prior to Holm, Rousey was undefeated at 12-0 with 12 finishes.

“The whole reason why me beating her was such a big deal is because she was so dominant,” Holm added. “You have to have a dominant champion in order to have a big upset. So I have all the respect for her and to her. I’ll never say anything negative. But then there’s like the fighter pride of things and a win is great but also to try to win that good or put that much of a stamp on something, anybody would be lying if they said they weren’t proud of it. I’m proud that I went in and did what I did. But I’m a fighter. That’s what we do. We go to win.”

Rousey got her win over Carano to erase this lasting memory and is expected to remain retired.

Rousey claims to have suffered from a “secret” concussion history.

“I think I definitely have the ability and the opportunity to be able to f*cking clean her clock and rewrite all of that but it’s no longer important to me anymore,” Rousey continued. “It doesn’t haunt me. It’s not the most important thing in my life and these people’s perceptions and knowing how great I am and all this stuff. I know how good I am and my kids need me in their life and I want to be there for them. This isn’t the most important thing anymore. Of course the time that I get where I could go back and do that, I don’t want to go back. I only want to go forward.”
