UFC bantamweight champion Holly Holm is to take another fight before her much-anticipated rematch with Ronda Rousey.
Holm (10-0) caused a huge boilover when she stopped superstar Rousey in the second round of their title bout in Melbourne in November, flattening her with a vicious kick to the head.
Holm was reluctant to wait until Rousey finished filming two movies this year before their presumed rematch, which was expected to be at UFC 200 in Las Vegas in July.
UFC President Dana White announced on Wednesday that Albuquerque-based Holm will get another fight in the interim, likely pushing back the date of her rematch with Rousey.
White didn't announce a date or opponent for Holm, but former title contender Miesha Tate is the most logical choice.
