Holly Holm speaks for first time on after title loss and there's just one thing on her mind

The champion does not want to stay without her former belt for too long.

Holly Holm risked her health before she would submit to Miesha Tate at UFC 196 last Saturday night. The former bantamweight champion was choked out by 'Cupcake' in a savage co-main event in Las Vegas, that arguably eclipsed the Conor McGregor-Nate Diaz fight. Holm was left massively frustrated after the fight, but the former boxer has posted a very classy thank you to her fans as well as congratulating Tate on her victory. And she also is hoping to set up a huge rematch for UFC 200.

This is how Saturday night ended but it's not the end for me. I am going to train hard and show that I am better than this. I am down but not out. Thank you @mieshatate for the opportunity last weekend. Well done. What do you say? ....Let's do this again. UFC 200 is just around the corner. @ufc @jacksonwink_mma #ufc #ufc196 #downbutnotout @danawhiteufc #ufc200
