Ronda Rousey needs to improve stand-up fighting skills before rematch with Holly Holm

Ronda Rousey made it clear that she wants a rematch with Holly Holm and such could be happening in July 2016.

The likely event that this will happen is at Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 200, a good six months during which the dethroned UFC women's bantamweight champion can prepare. But the question right now is will that time frame be enough and on whether she can cover all the bases after suffering that punishing loss at the hands of Holm.

British boxer Chantelle Cameron believes that Rousey should rethink her plans and work more on her boxing skills first before taking on Holm once again.

She was, apparently, one of the many fans who saw how she took a beating and believes that if Rousey rushes herself to a rematch without covering her shortfalls, the outcome will be the same.

Cameron shares that Rousey was undoubtedly outclassed and her lack of boxing knowledge showed. She hints that Rousey could do well with a new boxing coach and work on her stand-up fighting first before returning to the Octagon, according to Sky Sports.

Rousey has always been known to be a tenacious competitor but such would become useless if she is unarmed with the proper knowledge and skills to negate the boxing skills that Holm carries.

Holm put her boxing skills at work against Rousey, leaving the former champion jarred with broken teeth and a concussion.

Now, aside from the skills department, the mental aspect is also put into question. Rousey is still in a depressed state despite showing that she is fine and such could come to play when she and Holm come face-to-face again.

A rematch will most likely see a different Rousey but without properly addressing her loopholes, the result of a rematch (be it at UFC 200 or not) will likely end up the same as her fate at UFC 193.
