Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm stepped onto the scale for the UFC 193 weigh-ins and boy, things escalated quickly. After checking in at a lean, clean 134 pounds, Rousey immediately went after Holm, getting in her face and provoking a bit of pushing and shoving.
While it looked ugly, the two were quickly broken up before things escalated more. When it came time for the final word before the fight, Holm largely brushed it off. Rousey, though? Oh, she had a lot more to say:
It was a surprising turn from what has been a relatively cool build-up. While Rousey's last fight, against Bethe Correia, was defined by the Brazilian's nonstop attempts to get under Rousey's skin, Holm has been generally quiet and respectful regarding the champ. Rousey, similarly, has not really talked any smack or thrown any shade.
This adds a bit of heat to the Rousey-Holm rivalry. They are set to face off Saturday (American time) at UFC 193 in Melbourne, Australia. It might just be time to get excited.
