A gargantuan underdog against the greatest women’s fighter roaming the planet, Holly Holm flipped the script and absolutely demolished Ronda Rousey at UFC 193 on Saturday night, evaporating the now former champion’s mystique with a beautiful, perfectly-placed head kick.
Holm’s vastly superior technical striking was on display for most of the six-minute affair, as “The Preacher’s Daughter” easily circled away from Rousey’s wild, sloppy advances, while lighting up “Rowdy” with surgically precise combinations.
After quite possibly dropping the first round of her career, a rabid Rousey foolishly chased Holm around the cage to start the second stanza, only to have the calm challenger play matador to the champion’s tactless advances. Holm answered with heavy shots until finally felling Rousey like a redwood with a spectacular, promotion-altering head kick.
Rousey was transported to a local hospital after the match, according to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne.

She was the best. But that was proven to be all hype. now we can all get back to reality. she was a skilled fighter, but not nearly as good as everyone made her out to be. she fought mostly girls with very little skill. We learned something last night. Didn’t we….Now stop with the endless hype of her. Hopefully, now that she as been exposed, it will all stop.
