The candidate most likely is probably Rhonda Rousey. As reported here, during the UFC 175 event, Rousey delivered her fastest career finish, taking down her opponent, Alexis Davis, in a matter of 16 seconds. With Rousey in the midst of her knee surgery, everyone is wondering who will be her next potential challenger at UFC 176 on August 2.
The Albuquerque native holds an impressive 33-2-3 boxing record. With six wins by knockout under her belt, I'm hoping this match will last more than 16 seconds. Let's cross out fingers and hope the UFC is letting to their fans' reactions.
The UFC has signed on Holly Holm to their league. Readers, are you excited to see a potential Holm vs. Rousey match?
