Ronda Rousey Next Fight: ‘Rowdy’ Shows Utmost Respect Towards Cat Zingano; UFC Women’s Champ Names Next ‘Worthy’ Opponent After ‘Alpha Cat’

Ronda Rousey's next fight may have a different complexion this time around, as "Rowdy" declared to have the utmost respect towards upcoming opponent Cat Zingano. However, the reigning UFC women's bantamweight champion is already looking past her task at hand as she names her next "worthy" opponent after "Alpha Cat."

Ronda Rousey's next fight against Cat Zingano is scheduled for UFC 184 this February, as the co-main event bout for the card headlined by middleweight champion Chris Weidman and former heavyweight champion and UFC veteran Vitor Belfort.

Ronda Rousey's next fight is also expected to have a different feel, as "Rowdy", who usually shows very little respect towards her opponents, changed her tone for Zingano this time around.

In an interview with AXS TV Fights, Rousey spoke about her opponent, and why she thinks that Zingano can put up a more competitive fight.

"I think Cat has the most heart, of everybody that I've fought before," Rousey said. "She's the one person who in a lot of her fights it hasn't gone perfectly her way and she's always weathered it and came back."

"Cat has the most dangerous personality of anyone that I've fought before," she added.

Zingano was one of the first names slated to be next in line to challenge Rousey's belt, but due to a string of injuries and personal problems, she was forced to the sidelines for a year. But after a solid performance against Amanda Nunes at UFC 178, she was deemed worthy of a title shot.

However, while "Rowdy" is not taking her next opponent lightly, she has already looked past the task at hand by entertaining a few names she would want as her next opponent.

"Holly Holm is a world champion boxer who is undefeated and has very many knockouts under her belt and I think is an extremely worthy opponent," she claimed.
