"There's a lot to work on in MMA, and obviously I want to work on armbar defense, not just for Ronda, but for all the girls," said Holm. "(Rousey) is not the only one that has more of a ground game than me. A lot of people do, but obviously she's the best at it right now. But that doesn't mean the others aren't a threat as well."
Holm is currently recovering from a broken arm, so no official date has been set for her make her UFC debut. Holm announced her retirement from boxing in 2013 to focus on an MMA career. She has a 33-2-3 record as a boxer and is 7-0 as an MMA fighter. The 5-foot-8 Holm, 32, has six knockouts and one victory by decision.
