Alan Ritchson and his wife, Catherine, are putting a positive spin on their shock divorce, but friends of the former couple are bracing themselves for a messy situation in the months ahead, a source tells the National Enquirer.
"People around Alan were pretty shocked at the timing of this break-up, especially because being an involved, sensitive dad has been central to Alan's identity for so long," reveals the source. "That's still the thing he's most broken up about with this divorce: it's going to mean less time with [sons Calem, Edan and Amory] and there's almost nothing he can do about that."
After twenty years of marriage, the Reacher star, 43, and his writer-producer wife, 42, announced their split in a joint Instagram post on September 12, pledging to become the "strongest co-parents" they can be. "We also want to give each other room to grow into the people we are becoming," the statement read.
"[Alan] was quite protective of Catherine and the kids when the Reacher series first got started, and then the show kind of took over everything and made him richer and way more famous than he ever expected," admits the source. "It's a lot to go through in just a few short years, and Alan's insane training schedule, completely apart from the long filming days, didn't make things easier."

I think anyone with an Amazon Prime Video subscription probably understands that Alan Ritchson is jacked, whether or not they watched Reacher Season 4. The man is splashed all over the home screen on the streamer between his various movies and his very popular TV show. He's a big, fit guy, and as a gym girlie myself, I know this takes dedication and diligence. I just didn't realize the "high high volume" of reps he was putting in.
Ritchson recently sat down with Thomas DeLauer Podcast, and explain his strategy for staying swole. Some of this involves eating right and throwing in a lot of HIIT cardio with sprints and the Stairmaster, the latter of which does not always go over so well. Some of this is because he literally likes to do four sets at 25 reps of a given exercise.
Gym newbies are often taught to do three sets of eight for each exercise, and maybe push to nine or 10 before going up a plate or free weight. People who are more intermediate or advanced often throw in extra sets or increase reps at a lower weight to keep things interesting, so it's not like a giant surprise Alan Ritchson might do longer rep sets. BUT 100 reps for one exercise is a lot.

"Cat and I have decided to end our marriage and continue alongside each other in a different way," Ritchson, 43, wrote on Instagram Saturday.

The post included a broken heart emoji.
Page Six said that although Ritchson announced the sad news this weekend, court records show he actually filed for divorce from Catherine last December.

Reacher actor Alan Ritchson and his wife Catherine have announced they are breaking up after two decades of marriage.
"After twenty years together, Cat and I have decided to end our marriage and continue alongside one another in a different way," the pair announced in a Sept. 12 Instagram post. "We grew up together. We built a life and family together. And we are raising three incredible boys who will always be the center of our world."
The Runner actor and Catherine met as teenagers during a high school dance class. After a brief romance, the teens called it off before reconnecting later, when Catherine was in college. They married in May 2006.
"Nothing can diminish what these years have meant to us — or the love and respect we will always share," the couple added in the social media post.
The two also emphasized that their main focus is co-parenting their three sons, Calem, 13, Edan, 12, and Amory, 10.

Malick Fofana's chaotic move to Sunderland was "a really difficult story to cover", says BBC Senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel.
The Black Cats eventually beat Crystal Palace to the signing of the 21-year-old forward from Lyon in a deal worth £30m, after previous interest from ****** nal.
"It was really a dramatic day and definitely one of the narratives of Deadline Day for sure," Mokbel told BBC Radio Newcastle.
"With the flip-flopping, as a journalist I must say it was a really treacherous story to cover because obviously you never want to put false information out into the public domain and as journalists and correspondents we all have responsibilities to be as close to the truth and to be as accurate as possible.
"But, we were accurate at the time of when we were reporting that Sunderland had agreed the deal and it looked like he was going there. Then obviously the Crystal Palace thing emerged and immediately those original stories about Sunderland - you're slightly concerned about have I gone too early with the story?

Mel Gibson has issued an apology for his behavior during a public event amid mounting backlash. During his recent appearance at FanExpo Canada, Gibson mocked an ASL interpreter as he walked onto the stage for his retrospective Q&A. The video quickly went viral online. Users called out Gibson for his insensitive behaviour, for which Gibson has since issued an apology.
The moment, as caught on camera, saw Mel Gibson enter the spotlight on stage and begin making gibberish symbols with his hands, with the ASL interpreter standing right in front of him, with his back to her. The moment was brief, but fans found it to be in poor taste anyway.
Regarding the moment, Gibson said, "Sometimes when you get pushed out on a stage in a spotlight, your mind is all over the place, and sometimes spontaneous thoughtless idiocy is displayed. There was no intended maliciousness attached, and I certainly apologize to anyone who was upset by it."
FanExpo Canada is an annual event that is a hub for pop culture media enthusiasts. Be it films, shows, anime, gaming, or celebrities, the Expo serves as the biggest event of its kind in Canada, and the third biggest in the continent of North America. The event draws celebs and fans alike, allowing the latter to attend signings and photo opportunities.
The organizers of the event have not issued a statement regarding Mel Gibson's actions. However, fans were quick to contrast his behaviour with that of Reacher star Alan Ritchson, who shook hands with the ASL interpreter once his QnA session concluded. Other celebrities that graced the event included nerd culture legends like Mark Hamill, wrestler-turned-actor John Cena, and Mr. T.

Mel Gibson has issued an apology amid backlash over his recent appearance at FanExpo Canada.
At the event, the Oscar-winner was caught on camera mocking an ASL interpreter as her prepared to commence a Q&A. Video of the incident was widely circulated on social media platforms, with Gibson condemned for his insensitive actions.
"Sometimes when you get pushed out on a stage in a spotlight your mind is all over the place, and sometimes spontaneous thoughtless idiocy is displayed," Gibson said in a statement to Variety.
"There was no intended maliciousness attached, and I certainly apologise to anyone who was upset by it."
Gibson's actions have been contrasted with those of Reacher star Alan Ritchson at the same event, who was praised for shaking the hand of the interpreter after his own Q&A wrapped.
FanExpo Canada is held annually and is billed as "the largest comics, sci-fi, horror, anime and gaming event in Canada and the third-largest Pop Culture event in North America". Gibson's appearance at this year's expo took place on Saturday and included autograph and photo opportunities for fans.

TikTok users are worried about their most beloved celebrities dying, and they're using an audio warning against making "unnecessary journeys" to share these fears.
The trend is experiencing a big boost in virality following the recent high-profile death of Dolly Parton, which was quickly followed by the death of Tim Curry.
But what is the context of the "unnecessary journeys" audio, what does the trend mean, and why is it going viral? Here's what we know.
In 2015, news broadcaster Teresa Mannion reported on Storm Desmond in the west of Ireland. During the report, she stands in the middle of the storm and yells through the rain, "Don't make unnecessary journeys, don't take risks on treacherous roads, and don't swim in the sea!"
The clip went viral after it was edited and posted to YouTube by Gerard Walsh. The edit adds a scene to the end of her report, where a stop sign hits her in the head.

Brazilian football legend Roberto Carlos, a World Cup winner known for his fearsome free-kicks, has not converted to Islam, contrary to social media posts claiming he had switched religions. Both Carlos and his wife Souhail Al-Tahiri have refuted the claim in separate interviews since the rumours swirled.
"Brazil's Roberto Carlos is viewed as the greatest defender of all time. He has now converted to Islam," says a Bengali-language Facebook post shared on August 19, 2026.
An attached photo shows the retired World Cup winner sitting next to a woman who has her head covered with a shawl and a man who appears to be a Muslim preacher. They seem to all be looking at papers on a table in front of them.
Bengali-language text beneath the photo says, "Turkish media claims that Brazilian legend Roberto Carlos accepted Islam".

The 2026 Dutch Grand Prix was supposed to be a triumphant home race for Max Verstappen, but it ended in absolute disaster before the first lap was even completed. Navigating a treacherous, damp-but-drying Zandvoort circuit on slick tyres, Verstappen suffered a massive shunt in the final corner, spearing his Red Bull into the barriers and bringing out an immediate red flag.
While the sheer violence of the impact left the home crowd in stunned silence, former Formula 1 World Champion Nico Rosberg immediately took to the Sky Sports F1 broadcast to dissect exactly what went wrong. According to Rosberg's detailed ***** ysis, Verstappen's race-ending crash wasn't caused by a mechanical failure or contact, but rather a microscopic misjudgment of the circuit's drying racing line.
The opening lap of the Grand Prix was defined by incredibly tricky mixed conditions. While the track was dry enough for the entire grid to start on slick tyres, significant damp patches remained off the ideal line, particularly through the high-speed banking of the final corner.
Speaking alongside Karun Chandhok on the broadcast, Rosberg highlighted that Verstappen took an unusually tight trajectory through the sweeping right-hander. "Max is clearly tighter than everybody else," Rosberg observed during the replay. He noted that while the circuit was drying, the actual safe, dry patch of asphalt was "offset by like 50 cm from the inside".
By hugging the inside line too aggressively, Verstappen placed his slick tyres directly onto the lingering moisture. "I think he just exaggerated a little bit there and just put a bit too much throttle down and you're gone," Rosberg explained.

"Please, boys. Don't make my final years a misery." The words of the future King Charles III as he pleaded with his two sons to patch things up at their grandfather's funeral in April 2021 have just acquired a whole new resonance.
The "boys", better known as Prince William and Prince Harry, never did make up. Indeed, their feud only darkened and deepened as the elder brother fumed at the younger's treachery towards the Royal family in general, and his wife, in particular. (Outrageously, in her interview with Oprah, Meghan accused unnamed members of the family of racism in relation to her unborn baby's skin colour.)
The last time Harry and William stood together, just the two of them, was in July 2021 at the unveiling of a bronze statue of their late mother on what would have been her 60th birthday. The pair could barely look at each other. For William, Harry's deeply personal and spiteful revelations two years later in his biography, Spare, were an unimaginable betrayal by the human being he once trusted best.

A lid could be kept on that seething Shakespearean sibling rivalry, as long as Diana's beloved boys, now men in their 40s, were separated by an ocean. Harry and Meghan found freedom in California from the stultifying Windsor ways they so publicly scorned. The Waleses were left to steady the ship after the turbulence of "Megxit". They did so admirably and to universal acclaim despite Princess Catherine's shocking brush with cancer.

BERLIN (AP) — An 81-year-old man admitted to ****** ually ****** aulting and killing an American tourist in Germany more than 30 years ago at the opening of his trial on Tuesday, German news agency dpa reported.
The defendant, whose name was not given in line with German privacy rules, admitted to killing 24-year-old Amy Lopez in 1994 in the western German city of Koblenz, the news agency reported.
Prosecutors accused him of "killing a person in a treacherous manner and for base motives in order to satisfy his ****** ual urges."
The defense lawyer, Volker Klein, said during the session in the Koblenz district court that the defendant admitted fully to the crime. When the presiding judge, Rupert Stehlin, asked the defendant if that was true, the 81-year-old nodded and said "yes."
The crime took place Sept. 26, 1994, when Amy Lopez was visiting Koblenz as a tourist.

WASHINGTON − Since as far back as when MLB released the 2026 schedules last year, many highlighted the treacherous September the Cincinnati Reds would face. Surely you became familiar with it, too: Six games against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers. Seven games against the back-to-back World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Plus, the Padres, Cubs and Braves − three reliable postseason contenders.
No one mentioned August 2026 as an especially treacherous month, and for about a week, it wasn't. In fact, the Reds used the first week of the month to pad its record coming out of the All-Star break, which stood at 13-6 entering play Aug. 7. That run looked to have the team back in the playoff conversation.
Reds injuries Hunter Greene Reds pitcher Hunter Greene will undergo season-ending surgery. Future is unclear
Turns out, August was no slouch. Cincinnati found out against the Washington Nationals, a team in contention for the National League wild card spots for most of 2026 and that hit its high water mark of three games over .500 in June.
While appearing to fade in recent weeks, the Nationals looked keen on staying in the postseason conversation after taking the first two games against Cincinnati. During the Reds' 13-6 run, they started to overtake teams ahead of them in the standings, including the Nationals (and Pirates). But the "Nats" were back in front of Cincinnati entering play Aug. 9

Alan Ritchson is drawing fire from Fox News after slamming the president. A war of words has broken out between a popular action star and one of cable news's sharpest personalities. After the actor unloaded on the president during a podcast, a Fox host devoted airtime to picking apart his mindset. The exchange is now fueling debate over politics, celebrity, and where the two collide.
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld responded to Reacher star Alan Ritchson's criticism of President Donald Trump by claiming the actor is being "eaten alive" by resentment. On an episode of The Five, he broke down Ritchson's state of mind after the star's fiery podcast appearance.
The Alan Ritchson Trump comments came on the Monday, July 27, episode of Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert" podcast, where Ritchson criticized Trump over the Jeffrey Epstein files and other issues.
Gutfeld tried to frame the remarks as having "nothing to do with politics," adding that the Reacher star "wasn't joking." He argued, "It says absolutely nothing about Donald Trump, but it says too much about him."
The Fox News Alan Ritchson segment saw the host steer the conversation away from partisanship. He likened the actor's alleged resentment to "taking a poison and waiting for the other person to die," calling it a "powerful contrast" for someone so physically fit. He also mocked that "no amount of squats and bench presses" would fix it.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Marcus L. Martin felt instant trepidation Sunday when he saw five adults wading thigh- and waist-deep in the Scioto River. A frequent boater on the Ohio waterway, the Baptist pastor knew the area where they were standing to be treacherous. He believes the people he captured in a photo to be the ill-fated group that drowned that day.
"I just remember being taught that area was kind of dangerous, in the sense of there being steep slopes" and a quick drop-off into the river, he told The ***** ociated Press. A few years earlier, Martin had warned a pair of young people playing in the water at that same spot to "be very careful."
He saw five adults in the water and two children playing on the grassy bank nearby, tracking the description of the group provided by Delaware County authorities after the drownings.
Martin and his family floated away to enjoy a beautiful summer evening. But when they returned past the spot about two hours later and saw the group still wading in the river, Martin thought to snap a photo.
"I don't know what it was. I said, I just need to capture this picture," he said.

A Fort Worth Police officer ticketed a preacher in late June, claiming the content of his speech was offensive. This week the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division launched an inquiry into the incident to determine if the officer violated the First Amendment.
The widely circulated video of the confrontation shows an officer and a protester during the Trinity Pride Fest on June 27. "If someone is offended by your talking, then we have a problem," said Officer Sara Stogner.
"That's a constitutional violation of our rights," responds David Grisham, a street preacher and retired federal law enforcement officer. The two continue to argue when Stogner **** erts, "OK, then I'll write you the ticket, and we'll go from there."

"Wait, you're going to ticket us for offensive speech?" the cameraman asks incredulously. To which the officer confidently responds, "Yes, absolutely."
Stogner continues to claim she can ticket the two men for disorderly conduct "if someone complains that your language or what you're saying is offensive."
But that's not how the First Amendment works, according to legal experts. "The First Amendment does not allow government officials to shut down speech simply on account of it being 'offensive,'" said Brennan VanderVeen, program counsel at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. "The government can restrict certain types of conduct or restrict noise above a certain volume level," he continued, but citing someone because people are offended by the content of protected speech is "precisely what the First Amendment does not allow."

Great opportunities often come to those who wait. For the last eight years, Myron Medcalf and Matt Jones have occupied the same timeslot on ESPN Radio’s Sunday morning lineup. The show grew into a steadfast and reliable pairing, but rumors about a move to weekdays surfaced for years whenever ESPN Radio adjusted its daytime lineup.
So when the network announced another shakeup earlier this year, the rumor mill started again. After waiting so long for an opportunity to join the weekday lineup, could Matt & Myron finally earn a spot in the main event?
“It starts with rumblings and a maybe,” said Medcalf about hearing the rumors for years regarding Matt & Myron making the move from weekends to weekdays. “It felt real in the last six months. Then in the last three months, it felt very real. Until I got the call that it was official, I didn’t do my celebration till then.”
Beginning August 3, Medcalf and Jones will join ESPN Radio’s newly reshaped weekday lineup in the 3-5 p.m. timeslot. The revamped schedule, which also includes the return of Mike Golic Sr. and Mike Golic Jr., is the network’s latest programming adjustment following Clinton Yates’ departure in March.
Medcalf has loved radio his entire life. He grew up in a family of nine and said radio was a constant in his household. The son of a preacher, he said car rides with his father sparked his interest in pursuing a career in the medium.

While countries around the world are peacefully coming together and celebrating the global sport of soccer with the World Cup, one Palestinian professional soccer player who dreamed of one day playing in the World Cup lost his life before the birth of his first child while trying to care for his family.
According to multiple outlets, 32-year-old Palestinian professional goalkeeper Saleem al-Ashqar was killed by Israeli fire while trying to secure a cooking gas cylinder for his family in southern Gaza, leaving behind his wife, who was pregnant with their first child.
Al Jazeera reports that al-Ashqar set out on a motorcycle to search for a cooking gas cylinder, but he was shot and killed by Israeli forces in the town of al-Qarara, northeast of Khan Younis, southern Gaza. The Palestine Football ****** ociation shared that al-Ashqar was struck in the abdomen and rushed to the hospital, where he died of his injuries hours later.
"He went out like any other young man, just trying to provide a gas cylinder for his wife and family, but the treacherous bullets of the occupation struck him," his uncle, Captain Farid al-Ashqar, a member of the PFA referees committee who had helped raise Saleem, told Al Jazeera.
Al-Ashqar spent his professional career playing for three clubs in the Gaza Strip, representing Al-Aqsa Sports Club and Al-Masdar Sports Club previously before last playing for Khadamat Khan Younis.

Coach Kevin O’Connell may be navigating the Minnesota Vikings toward treacherous waters. He’s kicked off a full-blown starting quarterback competition between two high-level athletes. Some have said that Kyler Murray is still the most tantalizing QB prospect the state of Texas has ever produced, and keep in mind, Patrick Mahomes was born in the Lone Star State too.
Meanwhile, J.J. McCarthy managed to lead Michigan to the College Football Playoff national championship. While he’s a bit more raw, there’s certainly something intriguing about his ability to get a locker room to rally behind him.
But only one man can win this job. It’s not like running back or receiver, where the backup will still receive occasional opportunities. For the Vikings, the hope is that the loser of this competition never sees the field because the winner is so successful. Of course, that’s not what the loser wants, at all. So, what happens when the Vikings announce their starting QB?

Some have suggested that if McCarthy were to lose the starting job, the 2024 first-round pick would go to his agent and request a trade out of Minnesota. However, a Vikings ******* yst recently spun a different idea. What if McCarthy wins the job? How would Murray, a two-time Pro Bowl QB who’s only signed up for this season, respond? He just might be the one who requests a trade instead.

Mexico boss Javier Aguirre denied he was "fooled" by FIFA's potential plan to move the kick-off of the last-16 clash with England.
Aguirre said in a radio interview that the decision to bring the game forward six hours was a "kick in the stomach".
FIFA was in discussions to change the kick-off time to midday local time on Sunday (1800 GMT) because of the threat of thunderstorms, but they stuck to the original plan.
Asked by Mexican journalists whether he felt fooled, Aguirre replied: "Before you were calling me a preacher, now you are telling me I was fooled.
"I don't know what you mean, I was told the match would be played at a different time and I said I wasn't happy with the change. A day before the match, it was inconvenient and that's all I said.

A ground-breaking adventurer has pulled off a remarkable 250 mile (403km) journey along the UK's south coast, gliding for hours at a time across open water on a foil board.
Guy Bridge, 26, from Exmouth, Devon, completed the three-day challenge, with a total of 19 hours 48 minutes on the water, by "downwind foiling", riding above the waves on a board attached to a hydrofoil.
He took on the trip from Exmouth to Folkestone in Kent, including notorious headlands like Portland Bill off Dorset where tides collide in treacherous seas.
And he was supported by wife Emma, 30, who also joined him for one leg of the journey in West Sussex.
Guy's endurance journey, which he completed at the start of June, now adds a different kind of challenge to the family's growing list.

There will be blood, sweat and tears on players’ soccer jerseys at the World Cup — and plenty of deeper cultural and historical meaning, too.
Here, The ******* ociated Press runs you through some of the more compelling — and controversial — backstories from the kit designs on show in soccer’s biggest event, currently taking place in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
For its World Cup debut, the smallest nation by population at the tournament is paying homage to the roughly 525,000 inhabitants who live on 10 volcanic islands off the coast of Africa. A geometric, triangular print across its blue (home) and white (away) jerseys represents the network of flight paths that connect the islands. The idea is that the people of Cape Verde are united behind the players at the World Cup — and that togetherness showed as the team held firm to seal an unlikely 0-0 draw with heavily favored Spain in their first match.
“This is not a jersey,” reads a message on the collar of Belgium's multicolor away shirt. No, the Belgians aren't losing their minds. It's just a nod to the European nation's surrealist heritage — and notably the work of its master in this artistic movement from the early 20th century. Throughout his career, Belgian artist René Magritte questioned the enigmatic relationship of mind and eye, reality and language, writing under “The Treachery of Images” — his iconic painting of a pipe — the words: “Ceci n’est pas une pipe (This is not a pipe).” The light-blue jersey features pink patterns and black detailing, incorporating soccer-inspired motifs such as pitch lines and a ball. “True to the surrealism theme, the kit sparks the imagination and invites conversation,” the Belgian federation says.
The original jersey submitted by this Caribbean nation — another World Cup debutant — included a depiction of the final battle of the Haitian War of Independence in 1803 on its front. In the words of Colombian sportswear manufacturer Saeta, it was a “tribute to the men and women who contribute every day to Haiti’s future.” It didn't go down too well with FIFA, which rejected the image during its approval process, deeming it too political. So an updated blue soccer kit was needed, one that no longer includes the battle artwork.

Today in Boston Celtics history, John Mahnken was born in 1922 in West New York, New Jersey. Standing at 6-foot-8 and weighing 220 pounds, Mahnken, an alumnus of Georgetown University, was signed by the Rochester Royals (now known as the Sacramento Kings) of the National Basketball League (NBL), a competing league that would later be absorbed by the NBA, following his return from military service during World War II.
In 1946, the former Hoya signed with the Washington Capitals of the Basketball ******* ociation of America (BAA), a precursor league to the NBA, where he encountered a face that would become quite familiar in his later life. It just so happened to be coached by a one Red Auerbach, later to be his coach in Boston as well. Mahnken was traded a total of five times before landing with the Celtics in 1951 for the first multi-season stretch of his career since it began.
He spent four seasons total playing for Boston, recording 3.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.3 ******* ists per game.
It is also the day that former team minority owner Louis Pieri left us in 1967. Former owner of the (defunct) Providence Steamrollers franchise, Pieri helped Celtics founder Walter A. Brown navigate the treacherous waters of the early NBA after his own team went under, eventually becoming a minority owner.
After Brown passed, he and Brown's wife Marjorie split ownership of the team.At least, that is, until the pair could both sell the franchise to Ruppert Knickerbocker Brewing Company in 1965 – rest in peace.

Holly Holm is interested in big fights, whether that's in boxing or MMA. | Getty/UFC

The finish line appears to be in sight for Holly Holm.

Holm, who is coming off a controversial split-decision loss to Stephanie Han in a boxing match under the Most Valuable Promotions banner last weekend, gave a rough timeline for the end of her combat sports career during an appearance on "The Ariel Helwani Show.”

I don't know, but if I'm being really honest, I want big fights. I'm not saying that all of them are big fights for a ******* le. ..Within the year and I'm done,” Holm said. “That's where I'm at. I definitely want them to be fights that people want to see. I want it to be something big like that. And that's where I'm at, whether it be MMA or boxing.”

Holm confirmed that likely means only one or two more fights total before the Jackson-Wink MMA standout calls it a career.

Holm hasn’t competed in MMA since UFC 300, when she suffered a second-round submission loss to future 135-pound champion Kayla Harrison in April 2024. More recently, “The Preacher’s Daughter” has gone 1-2 in boxing and also competed in wrestling under the Real American Freestyle banner.
Holm entered MMA in 2011 as a multiple-time world champion in boxing. She won her first nine outings, setting the stage for her head-kick knockout of the previously undefeated Ronda Rousey at UFC 193 in November 2015. Though Holm’s championship reign was short lived, that victory propelled Holm to a new level of stardom that has lingered for the rest of her career.

After Rousey returned with a victory over Gina Carano at Most Valuable Promotions "Rousey vs. Carano" on May 16, there was some talk about a rematch with Holm. Rousey quickly dismissed the notion, claiming that she is once again retired and that she would “clean [Holm’s] clock” if they fought again. Holm says that she’s always been open to the rematch, but she believes Rousey feels differently.

“I don't think that she really wants to, and I'm not even mad at her for it,” Holm said. “I don't want someone to get in there and fight if they don't want to actually fight. Because I want someone who wants it.

“It’s never been because I said no. I 100% always said [if] she wants a rematch. I'll give it to her. And I have respect for her. She was the dominant champion, and she is good. She just came back and did her thing. She's good at what she does.”
