Why Holly Holm is happy Ronda Rousey doesn't think she can handle being champ

LOS ANGELES -- Last week, UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey claimed that her UFC 193 opponent, Holly Holm, would enjoy the life of a contender more than the one the champion lives.

"I don't think she'd be comfortable with it," Rousey said about the idea of Holm as champion. "I think it would take away from her quality of life, to be honest. It's a skill I'm still learning."

For her part, Holm who has already experienced life as a mutli-time world boxing titleholder, was happy to hear those words come out of Rousey's mouth.
