The most popular women's fighter today will have the chance to be the UFC Bantamweight Champion again in the near future.

UFC president Dana White said to ESPN's "Mike & Mike" that Ronda Rousey "deserves a rematch" against reigning champion Holly Holm, who beat Rousey for the title handedly in two rounds last month.

"Ronda Rousey has gone undefeated, taken the sport to another level and was beating the best women in the world in 14 seconds or 30 seconds," White said about why he feels Rousey should get her rematch.

"Holly agrees she deserves a rematch, and we'll figure it out," he said.

Rousey was placed under a six-month medical suspension from the vicious blows she received during the first bout, but Holm's first title defense will be against the former champion, White said.
