I wouldn't be surprised if Rousey took some time off from competition; she was planning on this anyway from what I gathered. Of course that was running the assumption she would still have her title.
I'm not sure I see the value in a tune up fight for Rousey prior to the rematch, but depending upon the timing, Holm may end up defending her title for the first time against someone else. That could feasibly lead to an even bigger build up than an immediate rematch if Holm executes a dominant title defense.
As for an immediate rematch; Rousey really didn't do anything right in this fight whereas Holm had a perfect game plan that she performed almost flawlessly. Her team picked up on every little flaw Rousey has shown in her previous fights and planned accordingly. So Rousey would have to change just about everything with regard to her gameplan and approach, and yes; it would be a tall order.
