While the athlete recently admitted she was 'really f***ing sad' about her upset loss to Holly, Ronda has vowed to avenge her defeat and kick the nemesis to the curb in their next fight.
After she revealed in ESPN magazine that she couldn't even bite into an apple due to the injuries she sustained during the Melbourne, Australia match, many speculated that it would be a while before a rematch with home was scheduled.
But Ronda, who looked happy and healthy for the first time since her brutal loss, is dedicated to redeeming herself.
She has plenty of projects in the pipeline - including her role in the upcoming remake of Road House, in which she will take on the role made famous by Patrick Swayze in the 1989 film.

Scheduled to begin production next year, this will be Ronda's biggest role yet.
And just because she's taking time off from fighting to heal, that doesn't mean she has stopped her working out.
The budding actress was seen laughing and kissing her boyfriend Travis Browne, 33, after the pair hit up the gym in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Ronda and Travis, a fellow UFC fighter, walked hand-in-hand as they left the gym before enjoying an intense make-out session up against his truck, just her rematch against Holly was set for July 9, 2016.

Dressed down in a cut-off tank top, grey sweatpants, and flit flops, Ronda appeared relaxed and carefree, despite recently revealing her injuries from Holly, 34, have left her unable to bite into hard food.
However, Ronda isn't sitting at home and crying over her defeat - even though she still has a few loose front teeth from her opponent's knockout kick.
Ronda is getting back in shape with the help of her gym buddy Travis, and the pair is having fun training together.
The couple couldn't even wait to get in their car before they began intensely making out against the truck.

After her shocking defeat last month, Ronda slept the entire 15-hour flight home from the Melbourne, Australia fight, knocked out by painkillers she had been given by doctors.
She and Travis then drove 15 hours to a ranch in Texas, where they had planned to celebrate her victory, but she instead spent time resting and recuperating.
And earlier this week, Ronda was seen leaving a laser treatment facility in Santa Monica, California, and was pictured with what appeared to be some stitches in her lip and a few loose front teeth from the bloody fight.
