The assumption was that Ronda Rousey's next fight was going to be the trilogy fight against Meisha Tate. But that isn't what's happening.

Rousey was on Good Morning America this morning to make a "Big Announcement" and we now have a date and an opponent for her next title defence.

The Date: January 2nd (I guess she is going to have to take it easy on New Years Eve)

The Opponent: Holly Holm

Holm is 9-0 in her MMA career and is considered by many to be the best striker in women's MMA. Rousey even calls her the most decorated striker in all of MMA both male and female and her "biggest challenge to date."
