Manager: Holly Holm angling for first title defense against Miesha Tate, not Rousey

Lenny Fresquez, Holly Holm's manager, believes that Miesha Tate makes the most sense for her first bantamweight title defense.

According to Ronda Rousey, it may take up to six months before she can begin to eat an apple. The Olympic bronze medalist suffered a devastating KO loss to Holly Holm last month at UFC 193, and it's expected that "Rowdy" will be out of action for the foreseeable future.

Holm, who became the first female boxing world champion to win a UFC title, left with the bantamweight belt injury-free and wants to get back into the Octagon as soon as possible.
