Holly Holm shocked the world on Saturday when she knocked out the once undefeated Ronda Rousey and took over the title of UFC's Women Bantamweight Champion.

While people were incredibly impressed by her performance, the knockout inevitably resulted in one question: Will she give Rousey a rematch in the future?

"That's how it goes! I've been knocked down, knocked out, got to come back and avenge my loss," she told E! News' Sibley Scoles of taking on Rousey in the future.  "I've been on the other end of it, so I feel like that's just the way it goes. Anytime there's a big upset, especially over somebody that's been so dominating, that's how it goes. You gotta give them the rematch."

And that's pretty much been Holm's reaction since her big win over the weekend. She's remained calm, collected and quite stoic.

"I always figure, you know what, the hard work's not done yet," she explains about her laid back demeanor. "And I have nothing to try and gloat about right now. All I need to do is just prove myself in the fight. A lot of that is just wasted energy for me, and I think, oh my gosh, I just don't even want to waste my energy on that because there's so much more in a fight anyway."

Meanwhile, E! News learned that Rousey has been depressed since the major loss, which probably wasn't helped at all as many celebrities took to Twitter to slam her, criticizing both her character and the way she went down on Saturday.

Holm hasn't spoken to her since taking on the victory, but she still wishes her well.

"No I haven't spoke to her," the new champ told us. "I haven't seen her. I hope she's doing well."
