Ronda Rousey-Holly Holm replay won't be free for a while

Nov. 18--Haven't seen it yet and won't believe it until you witness it with your own eyes?

Keep waiting.

From now until around Dec. 14, the replay of Ronda Rousey's stunning loss of her Ultimate Fighting Championship belt to Holly Holm can be seen only for full price ($59.95) on satellite and cable providers and UFC.com.

The bout, won by Holm via second-round knockout, will become available on UFC Fight Pass, a subscription service, starting with a $7.99 payment, by Dec. 14.

Later, at an undetermined date, the replay will show up for free public view on Fox Sports' so-called "clip shows."

Venice's Rousey (12-1) returned home to Los Angeles on Tuesday, according to a UFC official, after the fighter had an overnight hospital stay in Melbourne, Australia.

There, UFC 193 drew 56,214 to Etihad Stadium, site of an upset likened to heavyweight James "Buster" Douglas' 1990 knockout of heavily favored Mike Tyson in Japan.

The UFC, in its protocol regarding a vanquished knockout victim, issued a 60-day medical suspension for Rousey. She endured a split lip that required stitches; a UFC official said Rousey's post-fight CT scan came back negative.

UFC President Dana White said after the fight that he was planning for Rousey to fight at UFC 200 on July 9 at a new Las Vegas arena, and that she deserved an immediate rematch if that's what she sought.

Rousey has issued only an Instagram comment since her defeat, thanking fans for supporting her and saying, "I'll be back."

Meanwhile, Holm, 34, will be saluted Friday on AXS TV, which will dedicate its Friday episode of "Inside MMA" to her. It will reports from her hometown of Albuquerque, interviews with those in her circle, analysis of the Rousey fight and exclusive footage from her days fighting for Legacy Fighting Championships.

The episode will air at 8:30 p.m. Pacific time following "AXS TV Fights: Lion Fight" at 6 p.m.
