Holly Holm Addresses Dana White Criticism, Nate Diaz Doesn't Want Excuses From Conor McGregor, More

- Former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Holly Holm bit back at UFC President Dana White, who criticized her management, saying they rushed her back into the cage after beating Ronda Rousey.

"For me, I don't really care what people say about me," Holm said on the MMA Hour this week. "But I do care when people are negative about the people around me who I love and who support me. So yeah, it's frustrating, because it was something that I wanted and it's something that (Manager Lenny Fresquez) pushed for. I've always said I wanted to fight and there still has been no for-sure time that Ronda's going to be back. So they said there's all this money coming in for that fight, but what if that fight doesn't ever happen?"
