Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm haven’t exactly lit fireworks leading to their upcoming fight, but the long silence finally erupted when the defending UFC women’s bantamweight champion charged at her challenger after the official weigh-in for UFC 193.
Holly Holm came out first, quiet, stripping down to her undies and tipping the scales at 134 pounes before making way for her opponent.

Rousey was called out next, smiling and seemingly relaxed. After weighing in at 134 as well, she made her way toward Holm and things got a bit chippy between the two fighters.
After "Rowdy" got into the face of Holm, the challenger apparently would not be intimidated and flexed the fighting stance but inadvertently put her fist on Rousey’s face.

Both were eventually separated and interviewed individually.
Joe Rogan asked Holm what it was all about and the challenger answered with "I don’t know."
"I have all the respect for her in the world, but I am a different fighter," Holm said, according to USA Today Sports.
Added Rousey: “I just wanted to get in her face and show her that I was there for a reason. "She put her fist on my face. I didn’t touch her, she touched me. I told her that fake, sweet act... I can see right through it."
From the video (which you can see below), it does seem that Holm was innocently minding her own business before Rousey came charging in.
Could it be one of the reigning champion's plans to get into the mind of Holm? Seeing that all has been quiet, that could possibly be the case as she tries to fire herself up for a match that is oddly lacking the usual trash-talk.
Though Rousey is a favorite, Holm’s quiet nature seems to have been bizarre and such is in a way making Rousey think. Will that be the case inside the Octagon when both protagonists meet Saturday night in Australia?
