Now, the [2016 TIME 100 honoree](http://time.com/4298235/ronda-rousey-2016-time-100/) is back in the gym and training for a chance to regain her title. In a video interview, Rousey tells TIME about what drives her. “I was at the open workouts for the Holm fight,” she says. “And I tried to go and see every single person because I really want to be the People’s Champion.” The 29-year-old fighter says one fan in particular stood out. “This lady—she was dying of cancer—and she came to that open workout and stood out in the sun and all this stuff, so she could have a chance to meet me,” she says. “I could tell from seeing her hands she was real sick. And I promised her…I promised I would win, and I didn’t. I promised her, and I broke my promise to her. And it was so important to her, I could tell. And I really want to make it up to her. I really want to make it up to her before it’s too late.” Holm has since been beaten by Miesha Tate, which means Rousey won’t get the rematch she was expecting. Even though her hopes of taking back the belt now lie with a different opponent, her outlook hasn’t changed. “There are good people out there and I have to live up to their expectations because it really is that important,” she says. ## Transcript [00:00] You know, the fact that they've got a tall, gorgeous [00:02] mom who has some curves and that their father [00:06] appreciates, I think is helpful. I do think the culture's [00:10] changing for the younger generation a little bit more, [00:13] but it's still a challenge. I mean, Malia will talk about, [00:15] you know, my girls here. It costs a lot, it takes a long [00:18] time but girls can be just as tough on each other About [00:23] how they're supposed to look. I'm curious also what [00:25] you make of social movements like Black Girl Magic. To [00:28] have movements like Black Girl Magic, I think it couldn't [00:31] be more positive for a young black girl to see that [00:35] it's okay to be yourself. It's okay to not have to [00:38] transform and look like what you may see on the cover [00:40] of a lot of magazines.
