Ronda Rousey is gearing up with her next fight against the boxing champion Holly Holm, which is slated for Nov. 14. The UFC fight may be months away, but the tickets were reportedly running out.
The Rousey-Holm fight will be held at the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, and Huffington Sports learned, via the report of Australia's Herald Sun, that the tickets sold out as fast as the Grand Final of the Australian Football League.
A ground seating will be set up, reportedly to add 15,000 more seats, thus increasing the event's capacity to 70,000.
The tickets to Ronda Rousey's next fight are not even cheap. A spot on the level three of the stadium was at $100.60.
The best seats were priced at $468, which got sold out in minutes, and that's outside the corporate boxes selling for $18,000 or VIP seats at ringside, Fox Sports stated on the reported.
Holm is expected to give Rousey, who has a 12-0 record, a tough fight. The bantamweight champion defeated her recent opponents in less than a minute, so the fans are really excited about the kind of fight Holm will put up against her.
"Holly Holm, WBC, WBA, WBF, IBA, you name it, she's won the belt in boxing," Dana White, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President, said.
"She's 9-0 in mixed martial arts (MMA) and if you look at the range and the distance, the head kicks, all the attributes," she added. "When we originally brought in Holly Holm, it was to fight Ronda Rousey."
Meanwhile, Meisha Tate, who was dubbed as Rousey's arch-nemesis, said she has learned a valuable lesson out of the Rousey-Holm fight — that is to put everything in writing.
Apparently, Tate was promised that she will get a third shot fighting Rousey, but none of those were written down. Shortly after, the news broke that Rowdy will be fighting Holm instead of her, according to Yahoo Sports.
"It makes no sense to me why I'm not the champion and yet I'm fighting all the No. 1 contenders," Tate said. "Amanda Nunes is ranked No. 4 and Holm is ranked No. 8."
"That fight makes sense," White said, explaining why she booked the Ronda against Holm. "Miesha, at this point in her career, if she loses to Ronda Rousey a third time, it's a career killer.
