UFC president Dana White might not have been happy that Holly Holm chose to fight Miesha Tate, rather than wait on a big-money rematch with Ronda Rousey.
But that didn't stop White from admiring the way Holm went out at UFC 196.
Holm fought Tate's fifth-round choke for all it was worth at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and ultimately went unconscious rather than tap away her UFC women's bantamweight title.
And that had White gushing about Holm's valor on ESPN radio's Los Angeles affiliate on Friday.
