Rousey was taken to the hospital following the fight and did not give any post fight interviews. Ronda Rousey Taken to Hospital Following Brutal UFC 193 Knockout Loss | MMAWeekly.com Ronda Rousey Taken to Hospital Following Brutal UFC 193 Knockout Loss November 15, 2015 Erik Fontanez Ronda Rousey was taken to the hospital following her loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193, according to Dana White. The UFC president spoke with FOX Sports shortly after Holm’s upset of Rousey and explained that the now-former champion had to be stitched up after getting knocked out in Australia. “Yeah, she went to the hospital,” White said.

“Her lip is split, and they’re going to have to sew her lip and put some stitches in it.” RELATED > UFC 193 Results: Holly Holm Shocks the World, Knocks Out Ronda Rousey Rousey was outworked on the feet in the UFC 193 main event, eating far more strikes from her opponent than she could dish out in return. Typically dominant against the UFC’s female bantamweight division, Rousey looked overmatched when Holm, a former professional boxing champion, picked her apart for the entirety of the near-two-round fight. After being dazed by a left hand, Rousey dropped to the floor and worked her way back to the feet. It was then, however, that Holm threw the head kick that began the ending sequence to the fight, sending Rousey crashing to the floor. A new champion was crowned after Holm finished the fight with strikes on the ground. Rousey, in a daze, laid on the floor, leaving the world in shock because she was on the receiving end of one of the UFC’s biggest upsets. White, too, was visibly in disbelief when the fight’s dust settled.

The UFC boss explained that even though Rousey suffered the knockout, and that he was initially concerned she may have suffered a more severe injury, there were no serious issues that prompted the her trip to the hospital. “As far as I know, she’s good,” he said.

sheep2012 I wouldn’t be too quick to say that. It’s just one fight. LukeJUK Thankyou, Ronda done great in her over fights. hopefully she takes some time to recover/train and then come back for her belt. It’sallgood Well, if you all will think about it, Ronda said she needed sometime off, how much time I think, would determine if maybe she needed to give up the belt for awhile, maybe or maybe not, if your leaving for awhile, your holding up the UFC from promoting other fighters, and as far as it goes for Mayweather yes he’s a great fighter, but in my opinion, he lost one of his fights, but judges said he won, it was with Pacquiao, I have stop watching boxing from that night on, when the judges said he won, I said that’s it for boxing. Chris Morgan It is one fight, but Ronda clearly has some work to do if she wants any shot at reclaiming the title. She was out of her depth against Holm and the results speak for themselves. Cain Fedor wasn’t out of his depth when he lost to Werdum. He made a tactical error. Exactly what happened with Ronda.

She chased a boxer around and got beat. Philip J. Fry A tactical error? Is her having poor cardio a tactical error? Is Holm being quicker than her a tactical error? Was Holm’s ability to neutralize her clinch and ground game a tactical error? Ronda got beat flat out fair and square. You people need to quit making up excuses and just accept that she lost to a fighter that is better than her. LukeJUK The Cyborg is fully of roids and chems, Ronda don’t need to fight a low class act like her. George Sperry An ignorant and uninformed opinion. Absolutely baseless allegation. Cain Baseless? Her many failed drug tests…and the fact that Cyborg has an adam’s apple speaks for themselves. George Sperry One, one test and it was years and years ago while she was recovering from a nagging injury. You have no idea what you are talking about and should just stop talking. Giangrasso LMMMMFFFFAAAAAAOoOOOOOO!!!! OMGGGGGG lmao IM DYINGGGGGGGGGG that kick was RIDIC like “OFF” the “CHAIN” Dr.

Hungman Now that Ronda lost in spectacular fashion I dont see her selling anymore big PPVs. LukeJUK She will get her belt back, she will learn for her mistakes and become a flawless fighter. drkdisciple So Ronda thinks she can be a pro boxer? Yeah right lol. Greatest female athlete of all time? That’s another joke! The one person besides Holly Holm that has to be given credit is Ronda’s mother. Edmund Tarverdyan proved to be as useless as one can be,that had to be the worse game plan of all time. jake snod Floyd and Brian Carroway are smiling and meisha is happy Cain Meisha=pathetic. Yannick Messaoud What impact will this have on Ronda career? in a whole?, something happened, Ronda looked lost in there, did she have a good training camp?, that fight was not a fluke Holm is the real thing she had an amazing plan, also Ronda went nuts in the weight ins etc. This is all to weird. taylor2008 Because she knew she was in for a fight.

jake snod Rousey was exposed as a fraud and a limited skilled fighter with zero boxing and little defense. Rousey is a bad person and evil. LukeJUK Its called Ego, Ronda’s got too big, look at pre fight interviews, she just talked smack about Holy. Hopefully Ronda can train/recover and come get her title back. cheflacsto They are talking about an immediate rematch, and I suppose she deserves one but based on what we saw I am not sure Ronda has a path to victory She had her up against the cage and was unable to use the judo throw, she couldn’t take her down, and then in the scramble on the matt she couldn’t lock in her arm bar. The straight left was just to much for her and I am not sure that changes in a rematch. mrmdz818USC I feel the same way. I just don’t see Ronda winning the rematch. I feel bad for Ronda but happy for Holly, she deserved the win. Acura$Eva You would think Rhonda would refuse treatment…goes to show how much of a diva she really is.

Gregory Alexandr Acura$Eva John Youwer I think Dana was about to cry in the interview after his boyfriend just got her butt knocked the f out. So much for ronda being able to beat any woman with just one arm. Stinky”s ego just got checked. I am sure Stinky and her trailer trash mother will blame this loss on her coach and none of it on Ronda. Ronda just proved that she is nothing more than a one trick pony. And to think they put her on the cover of ring magazine is just a joke. TheBruh They may blame it on her coach (and I agree with you that they will), but no coach on earth was going to teach rousey the boxing skills she needed to be competitive last night. It’s going to take years for her to get to Holm’s boxing level. And you can’t take down and submit your opponent when you are grasping at shadows and tripping over your own feet. Last night was no fluke. Gregory Alexandr I do not understand a lot of comments….similar to arm chair quarter backs….both fighters are best in their class…any given day….they are tough as nails….they both deserve respect.

TheBruh you can have respect for a fighter’s skills but objectively be critical of them as a shiddy human being. Cain Agreed. You are a shitty human being. ray bovet this cain guy is an absolute bone head par with joe rogoon Cain EVERYBODY LOSES! Some very sad and pathetic comments from the hater crowd. There isn’t a greatest fighter of all time. It’s a myth. Anyone can win any fight at any time. Period. Royce Gracie, Lyoto Machida, Anderson Silva, Fedor, Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali…and now Ronda. All were invincible…until they lost in embarrassing fashion. It happens. Fighters get figured out. Fighter make mistakes. Ronda fought a poor fight and paid for it. Doesn’t make her a bad fighter or “exposed”. And before any of you hating pathetic excuses of MMA fans jump on the Holly Holm train… anyone remember Buster Douglas? Anyone rememeber the FEW times Ali lost? Holly did a great job of making Ronda fight her fight. Congrats to her on winning the belt and becoming Champion. Essentially all she did was cost the UFC millions in revenue.

Holly will never be as popular as Ronda. She won’t be as dominant. She might not even defend her title successfully. But, hey… at least a bunch of whiney little MMA fans got to take a break from their sad WalMart jobs and cheer someone getting beat. I wonder what would happen when these “fans” get fired from McDonald’s if someone would come in and just start cheering their demise. LOL drkdisciple So you think everyone who hates Ronda is a McDonald’s employee? You must think pretty highly of yourself!! Cain No. Just you. TheBruh Count me in as a PROUD hater. She is a horrible role model for anyone’s daughter, she engages in domestic violence as long as she has the upper hand, she has a foul mouth, she can’t control her emotions and she’s naturally fat. taylor2008 I highly agree with you! She was a poor role model and just had a horrible attitude. Hopefully holly knocked that out of her. jake snod Rousey was a terrible person and evil David Domestic violence? Refer me to anything that informs of her having domestically abused anyone. Naturally fat?

How on earth does your notion of “naturally fat” make someone a poor role model? If someone is “naturally fat” but is an all star athlete who is always in shape, would that not make them an ideal role model? Did you think AT ALL while typing that out? What about the 8 other rednecks that agreed with you, THAT’S scary. taylor2008 Let me wipe that spit from your face and the tears from your cheek. Cain No tears, here, bitch. And you need to wipe your dad’s mess off your face. taylor2008 Wow you are such a tough little girl. Go play with your dolls little one. Cain Wow, you’re a sad little bitch. Go choke on your tampons. taylor2008 What a little internet tough girl. Get off your mommys computer and ply with your dolls. Chris Morgan As much as it pains me to say this, Floyd Mayweather would disagree. Rousey did get exposed last night. The way Holm was able to pick Rousey apart was essentially a master class in boxing. How Ronda bounces back IF she does at all will determine how she truly rates as a fighter.

In my opinion, Rousey is a lot like Brock Lesnar. Both are phenomenal in a particular aspect of MMA, but they’re also heavily deficient in other areas (ex. striking). For Ronda’s sake, I hope she starts working with a Freddie Roach or some world class striking coach otherwise she could be in for a rude awakening. Cain You need to watch the fight again. Nothing was exposed except Ronda’s idiotic choice to abandon her gameplan and charge after a boxer. “Master class in boxing”? Not no, but hell no. Holly’s plan was to piss Ronda off and it worked. That’s what the weigh in was all about. She knew Ronda was a hot head and would charge after her. Holly isn’t that great. Her last two fights in the UFC were pretty sad actually. You essentially just watched how Liddell won most of his fights… countering somone who charges in. And let me just say, no one gives two shits about what Mayweather has to say. Chris Morgan You claim that everyone loses. Last time I checked, Floyd is 49-0. Rocky Marciano is 49-0.

Ronda DID get exposed (like it or not). Holm made her look like an amateur last night. Rousey’s gameplan (in a nutshell) Step 1: rush/overwhelm opponent. Step 2: clinch. Step 3: hip toss. Step 4: armbar. If she’s unable to implement said gameplan, she’s done (like last night). If Rousey didn’t get exposed, then why couldn’t she provide a response? Why did Rousey lose her cool? Rousey was out of her depth (much like Lesnar vs. a proficient striker). Cain So….you bring up a guy from 60 years ago and a guy who runs around the ring on his bicycle. Get a clue, troll. Chris Morgan You’re the one who said “EVERYONE LOSES.” Not everyone does. Like it or not. If anyone needs a clue, it’s you. Denise Hicks you know that’s all part of a MMA fight when you find your opponents weak points, and if the opportunity arise’s, (eg. your oppenent lets their guard down). you take it. So I must disagree with you.

Holly Holm is a great fighter, and now the world female MMA Champion. Nobody deserves it more. She took down Rousey physically last night, Rousey mentally allowed for that…Rousey even said prior to last nights fight that she had changed her tactic because she would not be able to take Holly down the way she did the other girls because of Holly’s boxing experience. But what I saw last night looked like Rousey had not been in training prior to her last fight. No change in strategy what so ever. Her BAD only. CONGRADULATION’S HOLLY HOLM!!!!! From a fan of your boxing day’s, and a true fan when they claimed you to be the underdog…..SILLY FOOLS !!!! lol Jay Ronda is ok physically. Her ego being bruised is what they need to worry about TheBruh No one knows yet if she’s ok physically. The last report on her is that Holly put her in the hospital. bennybluff she just got a couple stitches she is fine Francis “bugaw” Tolentino poor ronda. she cant fuk for a little while. shes having two stitches in her vagina?

bennybluff wtf is your dumb ass talking about? Jay Did you bother reading the bottom of the article? And I’m referring to her ego being a concern Mr.Johnson everyone loses but that was no close call loss that was a brutal ko that will haunt her forever. jake snod Rousey is finished and will never be the same. The KO shattered Rhonda forever which is great. Mr.Johnson Her ego is back to normal size, she actually believed she could ko pro men boxers. lol Francis “bugaw” Tolentino i dont agree with you. it was dana white who floated that idea in order to discredit mayweather Cain Go back to your bridge, Troll. jake snod Great win and KO of the evil Rousey who was outclassed and exposed as a fraud. Good for Holly. Cain You seriously have a mental disorder if you keep calling Ronda “Evil”. Geez. George Sperry Yeah Dana looked stunned because his meal ticket was exposed. You can’t arm bar everyone. jp Holly is also his meal ticket…and so is the whole UFC…He is the president of the UFC.

mrmdz818USC I give a lot of credit to Rousey for getting to the top with her limited skills. Rousey meet her match with Holly. Can the Ex-champ regain her belt? I for once don’t think so. Rousey might prove me wrong. Cain “Limited skills” must have a different meaning where you are from. She outstruck kickboxers. She just threw away her gameplan and chased Holly around. Any amatuer boxer would be able to do what Holly did. mrmdz818USC All Rousey has is the Judo throw and the arm bar, no other skills. Holly was an ex boxing champ and has kickboxing experience. Rousey was on Fallon talked about what Holly would do and Rousey said holly would keep her distance and try to frustrate her which holly did. Rousey tried the arm bar with no success in the first round. The only option was to pressure Holly and she got caught. Francis “bugaw” Tolentino what do you mean she got caught? holly bangs her face at will with left hand.

you must be ignorant mrmdz818USC Rousey got caught with a kick from Holly. Is that clear enough Francis? Lol Sam She got caught? For real? She was long done at that point. I agree about everything else you said, though. mrmdz818USC Anybody would go night night with a kick like that. I just think when fighters get knocked out in devastating fashion, they get caught with a punch kick or knee. If they don’t, it just war for the whole fight. uncle Ronda doesn’t deserve to be a champion no class spiteful and a bully. Ronda talked to people crazy and was able to get away with it because she was the champ. Now all of those wonderful sissies that rooted for her is in shock LukeJUK Class act by Holy Holm, hopefully Ronda can come back quick and reclaim her title. I have to admit thou, Ronda became egotistical, talking to much smack about her opponents and she never touched gloves at the beginning of the fight. Aaron Gustaveson Ronda must have the worst coach in history. Who the hell told her to stick to the ol bum rush?!

Francis “bugaw” Tolentino you dont know? or you are just plain idiot? ronda cant win against the boxing and kickboxing skills of holly at the distance. the reason she wants to close the gap. Randy Blackstock Francis, it’s just your opinion, you’re no expert either lighten up and stop your insults, try debating with some professionalism and dignity, you’ll find it goes a long ways. Francis “bugaw” Tolentino and who is the expert here? you? ha ha ha! im a pro boxer with 7-5 win loss record before calling it quits. and what about you? you cant even do a double under? ha ha ha Aaron Gustaveson I see Im dealing with a real intellect here. There are MANY way to close the gap that are MUCH safer. Who rushes in on a taller boxer? Francis “bugaw” Tolentino there are many ways to close a gap? well, explain just 3 ways. hi hi hi. whatever way ronda did she cant close the gap effectively on holly because she dont have the boxing skill of footwork. stupid!

Aaron Gustaveson How about if she had learned some wrestling style takedowns, an ankle pick is a lot less dangerous than what she did. Low shots in general would have been a better strategy. if you just brush the canvas with your fingers you can ankle pick without fear of a headkick. How about an imanari roll. Nathan Orchard does them to cover distance and get to legs.Hell, she could have legally sat on the mat and butt scooted around. What about strikes that are primarily used as entries, the superman punch, the high jab, body shot, takedown sequence, the feigned kick that gracies used so many times to set up double leg takedowns (might not work) How about scissors takedown. There are many and Im sure a good mma coach could think of many more I could in the few minutes I had to write this before class. Francis “bugaw” Tolentino are you in drugs boy? why are you hallucinating? how can you expect that those things you mentioned can be effective if the charging style of ronda cannot catch the fleet footed holly? the only way you can engage a mobile fighter is to charge her.

if ronda follows your brainless advice, there was no fight. same thing as what floyd in his fights. Aaron Gustaveson Alright, I see you are either extremely stupid AND know nothing about combat sports or you’re trollin’ me. Either way, not worth my time. Francis “bugaw” Tolentino its good to hear that you admit that im correct and you accept defeat graciously. be gracious in defeat boy, no matter how painful. anyway, you learn something from a smart person like me Aaron Gustaveson If you think “extremely stupid” means correct, then yes you are very correct and Im sure you hear it often kid. Francis “bugaw” Tolentino i eat for breakfast losers like you. stupid people like you are no match to a smart person like me. no contest! Aaron Gustaveson lol, Maybe you should switch to eating some books on English for a while. TheCerealKiller Fedor? That guy that was successful in steroid promoted PRIDE, but was nowhere near the same guy when tested? Chris Morgan I don’t know if this was meant for me or Cain, but you don’t need to sell me on the joke that is Fedor.

I only brought him up because he has gone on record saying that even he thinks that Ronda’s striking needs work. Francis “bugaw” Tolentino this fight clearly shows that boxers are the greatest fighters on earth. the reason mayweather and pacman lord it over in terms of paydays. mrmdz818USC And your assumption is based on what evidence? Please elaborate on your observation. I’m eager to hear your diatribe. Francis “bugaw” Tolentino you are just as stupid as your parents. how much did mayweather and pacman got from their last fight? simply said. mayweather always been the highest paid athlete in the world every year according to forbes. did any mma fighter been in the top 20? just asking! Cain Yeah and most boxers who get in the cage look like hamburger meat after the fight. James Toney…perfect example. Francis “bugaw” Tolentino the big difference between boxers and mma fighters is that only few boxers are into drugs and only few mma fighters not taking drugs. understand? hi hi hi Chris Morgan All it shows is that Rousey needs to work on her striking.

The reason Mayweather makes as much as he does is because he has a hand in EVERYTHING for one of his fights. Because he promotes his own fights, he can get larger cuts from PPV buys and ticket sales (among other things). That leads to an obscenely large purse. Francis “bugaw” Tolentino so? what’s stopping other fighters to do the same way? you mean only mayweather got the brain and all other fighters are stupid? like you? Chris Morgan It’s simple. Risk vs. Reward Not everyone is in a position to assume the RISK of going into the promotion business. It takes a lot of capital, you don’t see an immediate ROI right away, and not everyone is cut out for being a promoter. I know it might be difficult for you, but think about EVERYTHING that goes into holding an event. All those expenditures that a promotion has to pay for BEFORE getting anywhere close to fight night. Not everyone has the stomach for investing a significant amount of money in promoting a fight card especially if it sucks. It’s not rocket science. In fact there are a number of articles on this subject. I would encourage you to read one (if you can find one at a 3rd grade reading level).

Francis “bugaw” Tolentino you dont know what you are talking boy! ha ha ha. you look like a fool. mayweather isnt yet a promoter when he started his career in boxing. but because of hard work and developing fan base, thats when he ventured into promotion. do you think he dont know about the risks? but he was a smart businessman that he came out successful. i cant fathom your stupidity Chris Morgan Wow….. talk about stupid. I said nothing about Mayweather promoting at the start of his career. I said he got into promoting because he had the finances to do so. He knew that people would pay to see him. OF COURSE he knows about risk. He paid $750,000 to get out of his Top Rank contract for starters. HOWEVER, not everyone has the capital or is willing to RISK their own money to get into the promotion business. Again, find an article on “Why Floyd makes so much” t at a 3rd grade reading level and read it. Maybe you’ll actually learn something. It would be a nice change of pace from your wannabe boxer nonsense. Francis “bugaw” Tolentino your stupidity has no cure boy.

if capital is your alibi, why cant GSP, brock lesnar, silva didnt promote their own fight? they have the money and huge fan base? or ronda rousey? the face of ufc right now? why? because they are not as smart as floyd. idiot! Chris Morgan Once again, READ THE ARTICLES. GSP, Anderson, and Lesnar (especially Lesnar) HAVE NO INTEREST in promoting. Keeping in mind how much money is coming out of THEIR OWN POCKETS to pay for the event. Holding an event at the MGM Grand doesn’t come cheap. The promoter doesn’t see a full return on ivestment for an event until 6-9 months AFTER the event (assuming the event does well). It’s hilarious to think that my 6 year old niece can actually understand this, but you can’t. Francis “bugaw” Tolentino thats it! you admitted it they are all scared to take the risk. floyd took the risks because he knows the rewards outweighs the risk. and your 5 year old boy must be a special child he only say yes to his dad no matter how stupid your statements.

pity boy Chris Morgan Wow you really need to learn to read. I said my SIX YEAR OLD NIECE is smarter than you. I never said anything about my children. Either way, do yourself a favor and learn to read. You might actually learn something about the fight business and fighting in general that you can use when you play pretend boxer in your basement. Francis “bugaw” Tolentino you got a niece but dont have a child of your own? why? are you impotent? sad. now i understand your frustrations in life. why its hard for you to accept that you are beaten by a better man? Chris Morgan If anyone is frustrated and has impotency issues, it’s you. The only way you’ve beaten me at ANYTHING is in the poor, nonsensical quality of your comments. The fact of the matter is that 1) you know why Floyd makes as much as he does (or at least how to find out why) and 2) boxers ARE not the greatest fighters on Earth. Any fighter that isn’t one dimensional can beat a fighter that’s only good at one thing. Watch Randy Couture vs. James Toney.

It’ll be hard to take a break from playing pretend boxer in your parents’ basement, but you’ll learn something troll. Francis “bugaw” Tolentino boxing is an art by itself. not everyone can learn boxing overnight. the reason anderson silva is succesful in mma but a dud in boxing. mma is easy. in brock lesnars words… mma and wwe is the same as an acting job. only wwe is more succesful. Francis “bugaw” Tolentino only an ignorant like you believe that laughable fight of couture and toney. it was dana whites handiwork to fool people to believe that mma is at par with boxing. but sorry, fans dont buy the trick of white, people continue to buy floyd and pacmans fights in millions of ppv. Chris Morgan Look in the mirror if you want to talk about ignorance. History is riddled with NUMEROUS examples of a striker getting destroyed by grapplers. Only when the striker has learned how to fight on the ground (or at the very least learned DEFENSE) will they be able to get a win over the grappler. So again, the more well rounded fighter will win.

Francis “bugaw” Tolentino you are right. there are numerous strikers getting destroyed by grapplers and the rest of them knockout the grapplers. hi hi hi. DA Another moronic boxing comment. Re watch the fight and pay attention to things you obviously missed the first time around. Holly defended take downs and defended an arm bar, without those things she would have never made it to the KO and would have been subbed early on. She is not a boxer she is an mma fighter. Once someone learns grappling and MMA they are no longer only that certain discipline. Its like calling ronda a judo fighter, she is an mma fighter. MMA beats boxing 99 out of 100 times. Holly would dismantle most boxers men or women in a real fight also known as mma. Francis “bugaw” Tolentino you must be ignorant, you only think that boxers dont know how to grapple and depend takedowns? stupid! holly was succesful dependeing takedowns because it is very easy to learn. nothing special about grappling. but ronda cannot match hollys boxing skills because it is an art by itself. you cannot just learn it overnight.

the reason anderson silva is succesful in mma but a dud in boxing. DA Go to an mma gym fucktard and see what happens. Even a low level wrestler will take you down and rough you up. It takes just as much skill to become good at grappling at the highest levels as boxing. Your just grasping for straws because you hold boxing so close to your heart and want to believe its the best form of combat. Its not by a long shot. Guess what, james toney thought the same thing and look what happened. He thought “it can’t be that hard to defend take downs and if he shoots in I’ll just upper cut him and knock him out”. Holly did it the right way and learned grappling for 4 years. Its so funny how people like you think you know it all but your so far off its pitiful. You don’t seek the truth is the problem. You only believe what suits you. Francis “bugaw” Tolentino you take toney seriously? ha ha ha. he was paid by white to take a dive. didnt you see that he just lie down and collect his money? all for the script of white that mma is better than boxing.

if mma is better. how many mma fighters actually died in an mma fight? ha ha ha. in boxing, hundreds died my boy and thousands paralyzed. MMA IS EASY. PERIOD! DA There ain’t no getting through to people like you. You believe what you wanna believe and your mind can’t go any deeper. If you ever get into it with a wrestler you will regret your ignorance, I hope you remember what I said. You’re not worth my time any more. Francis “bugaw” Tolentino i did go to a mma gym. all i saw was a bunch of homosexuals wrestling in the mat. hi hi hi Mobile hot dog cart man “depend take downs” like in the diapers Depend or is this an error? ESL issues mmalivesz Poor Poor Rhonda Rousey got KOed. HA HA. Great news. Hopefully that KO loss put some sense in her brain. Holly EXPOSED and DEFEATED Rhonda’s LIMITED striking skills. YEAH BOY!!! Ms Rhonda, you CAN NOT win a MMA fight with arm bars girl. Arm bars are ONE aspect of MMA.

Striking, wresting, licks, boxing, jud0( your forte Ms Rhonda) muay thai, tae kwon do, karate, jiu jitsu, are all part of MMA and have to be RESPECTED Ms Rousey. Ms Rousey, all that TRASH S H I T talking went back to haunt you BIG TIME. Getting Koed brought you back to earth. Implying NO ONE is invincible. Especially you Rhonda. You are lucky NOT to face Cyborg. Cyborg WILL DISMANTLE you EASY. Go back and get REAL training BEFORE any type of re match. BTW, Rhonda was BEATEN BADLY by KO. She needs to rack up a few wins BEFORE any type of rematch PERIOD. Roscoe Gauldin dude, you make some good points, but all the CAPS LOCK and ghetto talk makes you sound like a moron and nullifies any point you may have made. Stevie Ray Vaughn Mobile hot dog cart man **What’s licks????? for lesbians? idk? you are dumb YEAH BOY!!! Ms Rhonda, you CAN NOT win a MMA fight with arm bars girl.

Arm bars are ONE aspect of MMA. Striking, wresting, licks, boxing Randy Blackstock I don’t know Ronda as well as most but from what I’ve noticed she has a nasty attitude when it comes to sportsmanlike conduct and her views on certain things, I think it was a long time coming on her KO, as far as her comeback goes, I have no opinion either way, if she does she does.

its good you accept defeat to a smarter person like me Justin McVay Ronda Rousey Reveals She Had Suicidal Thoughts After Holly Holm Loss | Bleacher Report Ronda Rousey Reveals She Had Suicidal Thoughts After Holly Holm Loss By Matt Jones , Featured Columnist Feb 16, 2016 Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse more stories Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC/Getty Images 0 Comments Ronda Rousey has revealed the disappointment felt after losing to Holly Holm at UFC 193 prompted some thoughts of suicide. The former UFC bantamweight champion was shockingly knocked out in November last year and took a while to return to the public eye. But speaking on the The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday (h/t Paul Chavez of the Daily Mail), she opened up at length for the first time about the defeat and how she was initially distraught in the immediate aftermath: I was literally sitting there and thinking about killing myself and that exact second I’m like ‘I’m nothing, what do I do anymore and no one gives a s--t about me anymore without this.’ ...

To be honest I looked up and I saw my man Travis was standing up there and I looked up at him and I was like, I need to have his babies. I need to stay alive. Rousey headed into the fight with Holm as the heavy favourite, having never been beaten in professional MMA and having dominated all of her recent opponents. However, the underdog executed a superb game plan, fighting at range, using her superior striking and gradually wearing down the champion, who grew increasingly sloppy as the fight continued. Eventually, Rousey was stopped in the second round on the back of a brutal left hand and a thunderous kick to the head from Holm. Here’s a look at how the fight panned out, as Holm stunned the MMA world in Melbourne, Australia: “In that first hit I cut open my whole mouth and I knocked my teeth loose,” said Rousey on the show. “I knew she was out there, but like I really don’t remember most of it.

So I was trying my best to kind of hide the fact that I wasn’t even there anymore.” After a frantic 2015 in which Rousey stepped into the Octagon three times and had to cope with the pressures of her rapid rise to sporting superstardom, it’s no surprise she is taking her time to return. Having been in so many high-pressure situations in such a short amount of time, Rousey conceded that perhaps things did ultimately catch up with her. “I think the one thing that was different was that it was my third title fight in nine months, and I don't think anyone has ever attempted that before,” she said. Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC/Getty Images Rousey conceded a packed 2015 may have caught up with her. A rematch with Holm at the UFC 200 spectacle later in the summer was ruled out by UFC President Dana White in January, per Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports . However, Rousey did reveal to TMZ Sports that she will be seeking to return to the Octagon later in the year.

As much as MMA fans from across the globe would love to see her back in action soon, it's preferable that the former champion is patient in her recuperation process rather than making any hasty decisions. That way, she can return at full tilt and be as prepared as possible in her attempts to dominate the division once again. Rousey Loses, But Was It an Upset? - The Sports Column | Sports Articles, Analysis, News and Media Rousey Loses, But Was It an Upset? by Fan Submission November 20, 2015 Holly Holm , Ronda Rousey , UFC Storyline: For Holly Holm it was like a rabbit fighting a dragon. Before this fight Ronda Rousey had been challenged only by mice. Written by Hector Estremera, Jr., East Hartford, CT. UFC 193 is over and the results are in the books. Despite the stacked card and implications of all the results in their respective divisions, there’s only one story coming out of this night … and we all know what it was. It’s unfortunate, too, because Joanna Jedrzejczyk was coming into the night with one of the most dominant title wins in UFC history.

But that was lost on most fans because of her unknown status and the youth of her division. It’s unfair to Jedrzejczyk, but UFC 193 belongs to the new Women’s Bantamweight Champion, Holly Holm. Courtesy: FoxSports,com The UFC had built the fight between Rousey and Holm the same way it promotes every title fight–touting Holm as the most dangerous threat to Rousey’s title yet. In fairness, that’s true, but for most people that fact didn’t misdirect from the perceived disparity between Rousey and every other female fighter in the world. Sure, Holm was the biggest threat so far, but what does that mean when your talking about a champion who hadn’t even had an hour of fight time in her entire career? She’s a fighter whose opponents measured success in how many seconds they could last. Sure, Holm was the biggest threat, but she was the first rabbit to fight a dragon that had been challenged by mice.

Of course, there’s my beloved hardcore fan base, who knew Holm had a real chance–a fighter with a storied career in Boxing and Kickboxing, littered with World Titles and a record of 33-2. In the transition to MMA Holm utilized her superior striking to maintain a perfect record, and she was coming into the night with more than a puncher’s chance to stand and bang with Ronda. Holm was supposed to stick and move for 25 minutes, tentatively stepping and throwing feints, measuring her range and using distance to dance around Rousey a la Mayweather. She was supposed to be scared of what Rousey might do if she got too close. But from the first crack of leather on skin Rousey looked like a schoolyard bully getting a mean dose of karma. By the end of the first round Ronda looked like a little sister–desperately button mashing in an all or nothing attempt to gain the upper hand. When the horn sounded for Round 2 Rousey’s gameplan had gone out the window. She continued her aggressive assault desperately swinging huge, winging punches.

Although aesthetic it was a pathetic attempt to close the distance and work for her “signature” armbar. Holm, on the other hand, stayed patient and continued to shuffle in and out of range as she circled Rousey, cutting angles and landing her huge left at will. Holm broke Rousey’s spirit and exposed her armbar for what it really is–her blankie. Courtesy; HollyHolm.com Holm absolutely trounced Ronda from bell to bell, making her look out of place in the octagon. When Holm ducked Ronda’s morse-coded left hand, Rousey took a knee before confusedly spinning back to the fight. The audience held its breath and Holm cemented her place in history as the real ‘White Iverson.’ Less than 60 seconds later Rousey was on the mat from a brutal headkick unconsciously eating punches as Herb Dean’s brain tried to process what was happening. From there on the story is boilerplate: there were tears, shock, and Joe Rogan looking like a cartoon thermometer on a hot day in the desert just before it pops. Holly Holm is the new Women’s Bantamweight Champion and she did it in brutal fashion.

It’s too bad that the story of the day is that Holm beat ROUSEY. The fact is that Holm had trained and worked hard to get to this point in her career,. But most of us measure her success against what Ronda had done. Ronda Rousey has done a lot for getting women into a new niche of our culture–where they can fight and still be beautiful women–and who rely on their talents to achieve goals and let beauty be nothing but the cherry on top. But Holm has done the exact same thing. UFC 193 broke a lot of records, but if Holm’s next fight isn’t the rematch, will those numbers even be close? Don’t count on it. In the post-fight interview Joe Rogan said it was the most dominant title win ever. Is that really the case? No. As I said, Jedrzejczyk was coming off an equally, if not more dominant win, over Carla Esparza. The sad truth is this: for most people Holly Holm’s win will be remembered as Rousey’s loss. Rousey has been held up as a model of strength and independence for women.

To her credit, that was her aspiration and (for a time) she has achieved it. But, in truth, was she anything more than a talented “pretty face” being exploited by society’s attitude toward women? We justify our behavior by idolizing this beautiful woman for her fighting prowess. But is there a real expectation that will transfer over to Holm, who emphatically proved her superior skills this past weekend? I doubt it. Her image doesn’t fit the Hollywood mold. And after she makes the rounds to talk about Ronda and how it felt to beat Ronda, she’ll likely fade into the background. And, if that happens, then it’s really too bad for the casual fan–a fan who just likes to watch a good fight. The stark truth is that ladies can really scrap. Share This! Ronda Rousey Ronda Rousey Home Post-Fight Footage of a Defeated Ronda Rousey Reveals Just How Shaken She Was As you likely heard, Ronda Rousey lost at UFC 193 . Not only did she lose, but she was viciously knocked out by Holly Holm with a devastating head kick.

It was a jarring sight for the scores of new MMA fans who tuned in simply to see Rousey, who has finished foes quickly and cleanly like an assassin, rather than a barbarian. Those new fans didn't get to see much of Rousey immediately after, as the camera followed Holm, while Rousey and co. quickly headed to the back. Until now, that is. A video has surfaced on YouTube showing Rousey immediately after coming back to consciousness, talking with her coach and the ringside doctors as they wipe her up and pull out her mouthpiece. It's an odd sight for the former champion. Despite the loss, Rousey's dedicated fans can still take some comfort in seeing her with her senses about her immediately after the knockout. Stunning Upset of U.F.C. Champion Ronda Rousey Leaves Her Future Up in the Air It was Ronda Rousey’s Buster Douglas moment. Those who watched it were stunned. Those who read about it the next morning did a double take. And more than a few people were wondering where it leaves her career. In 1990, Mike Tyson was also unbeaten and had the same aura of invincibility as Rousey.

Like her, he put opponents away rapidly and with ease. But on Feb. 10 in Tokyo, he faced the little-known Douglas as a 40-1 favorite and was knocked out in one of sports’ biggest upsets. Rousey’s fight also took place on the other side of the world, on Sunday in Melbourne, Australia, and the result was also shocking . Holly Holm, ranked just eighth in their weight class and underwhelming in her two previous Ultimate Fighting Championship bouts, knocked Rousey out in the second round. Ronda Rousey’s Next Fight: Body Image in HollywoodOCT. 9, 2015 Ronda Rousey’s U.F.C. Dominance Evokes a Young Mike TysonJULY 31, 2015 Rousey started the fight on the attack, perhaps looking for another quick win. But she found herself chasing Holm around the Octagon, all the time taking hard punches and kicks. She struggled to get Holm on the ground, thanks in part to Holm’s superior reach. Even when Rousey began to apply her signature armbar, Holm eluded it and continued the barrage.

A nasty kick to the head finished Rousey off. Photo Holm celebrated her victory over Rousey and improved to 10-0 in mixed martial arts. Credit Quinn Rooney/Getty Images Rousey was taken to a hospital to be checked after the fight and did not make a postfight statement. But in a brief post on Instagram on Monday, she wrote, “I’m going to take a little bit of time, but I’ll be back.” Like Douglas, who held his own for 10 rounds with Tyson, Holm did not win on a fluky blow. She was the comfortable winner of the first round. Andrew Richardson, the analyst for SB Nation, wrote : “Holm fought perfectly. She circled away from Rousey’s bull rushes expertly and repeatedly countered while doing so, which frustrated Rousey and caused her to fade quickly. Even when Rousey did slow down, Holm remained composed and picked her opportunities.” Holm, 34, was 33-2-3 as a boxer, holding W.B.A., W.B.C. and numerous other titles. She then moved into mixed martial arts , where her record improved to 10-0 with the Rousey win.

In the past, boxers like Holm have not fared well in mixed martial arts , compared with wrestlers and judokas, like Rousey. This had prompted numerous commentators, and Rousey herself , to suggest that she could beat even a top male boxer like Floyd Mayweather in the cage or a street fight. But it turned out a top boxer who fought intelligently, like Holm, was more than a match for her. Many analysts faulted Rousey for what they saw as fighting with overconfidence, engaging Holm with punches rather than focusing on going for a takedown. But Rousey’s trainer, Edmond Tarverdyan, disagreed. “Ronda is smart enough to take the fight where she is best at, and today she did,” he told ESPN . “Holly stopped an attempt on an armbar and stopped some of the takedowns. She did a good job.” Style By JAKE MICHAELS 2:24 Ronda Rousey, the Antagonist Continue reading the main story Video Ronda Rousey, the Antagonist Ronda Rousey wants to be one of the greatest fighters of all time, but the U.F.C.

Watch in Times Video » Tweet Rousey had also spent a lot of time before the fight talking about taking a break and forging a career in Hollywood. (She has appeared in the films “Expendables 3,” “Furious 7” and “Entourage.”) It is certainly possible that mentally her edge was dulled at least a little. Advertisement Continue reading the main story What’s next for Rousey? At 28, she is young for the Octagon. The median age of a U.F.C. champ is 31, and only two champions are younger than Rousey. The U.F.C. president, Dana White, suggested immediately that a rematch would be in the offing. Rousey had turned into the U.F.C.’s most marketable star, male or female, and it is in everyone’s interest to keep her front and center.

Bookmakers rank Rousey as the favorite in a rematch, though by about 3-2 , not the 10-1 or 12-1 she was favored over Holm the first time. There is every reason to think Rousey will regain her belt, perhaps soon. But Tyson may provide a cautionary tale. Before the Douglas fight, he was 37-0 with a series of brutal signature wins. Though he did reclaim his title eventually, the post-Douglas era mostly featured losses to fighters like Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis and wins over much lesser fighters. Rousey will need to rethink her tactics and rediscover her motivation. She will win again, and may even be the best again. But she will never again be invincible. Ronda Rousey Is Still Great I’ve seen a lot of people contending that Ronda Rousey was “exposed” over the weekend—that Holly Holm’s kick-heard-‘round-the-world is proof that Rousey was never all that good in the first place. Those people are wrong.

To recap for the 2.47 people who don’t know: former UFC women’s bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey, one of the most dominant athletes in sports, got knocked out over the weekend . It wasn’t a fluke, either. She was dominated bell-to-bell. Her opponent, Holly Holm—previously a professional boxer with multiple championship belts under her, uh, belt—was elusive and measured in her approach. The perfect matador to Rousey’s recklessly charging bull. At times, the disparity between the two was almost comical. Rousey grew visibly frustrated, nearly smacking face-first into the fence when Holm ducked yet another punching flurry. The fight ended in round two, with a beautifully timed head kick during a chaotic scramble. Rousey collapsed, looking less like the most dominant athlete in sports and more like a spilled sack of potatoes. The ref hesitated on the stoppage, allowing Holm to land two more (unnecessary) shots to Rousey’s battered, misshapen cranium. It was a finish equal parts gorgeous and ugly, but there was no question as to who had won. Holm fought a brilliant fight.

She exploited every known hole in Rousey’s game. It was amazing to watch. Since then, I’ve seen everyone from douchebro Twitter randos to Donald Trump and Lady Gaga piling on the “fuck Ronda Rousey” bandwagon. Many in the former category, especially, seem all too pleased to say things to the effect of, “Hah, she was never a good fighter. I could take her, easy. My masculinity is fragile, like a baby swan hatched from a snowglobe egg, and I say these things to protect my own sense of self from The Scary Questions.” But there’s so much more to this than that. Rousey’s loss, in my opinion, reveals two key things: 1) fight fandom and celebrity culture are similar in their fickleness and 2) perceived “invincibility” creates a vortex of reality distortion that affects even the best fighters and most ardent fans. Point one is nearly self-explanatory. People are trying to discount Ronda Rousey for one loss after she obliterated everyone in her division, took the sporting world by storm, and put the mainstream eye on MMA like never before.

Oh, and that came after she, you know, medaled in the goddamn Olympics. For many, she was (and still is) a role model, a pop culture heroine. If she were to retire tomorrow, her previous accomplishments would still be unassailable. If you don’t like Rousey’s personality, fine. That is completely, 100 percent cool, and I cannot blame you. Honestly, there are times when I don’t like her personality. She’s said some contentious-ass shit, some of which has been almost gleefully ill-informed. But going from “whoa she’s the most badass lady to ever live” to “she was shit all along” overnight? That’s the very definition of fickleness, and disliking her personally isn’t a great reason to do it. But I’m not really surprised. Rousey—again unlike any MMA fighter before her (at least, outside of Japan)—straddles the line between mega-popular fighter and bonafide celebrity.

There is, in both cases, a documented pattern of fans leaping from bandwagons like they’re aboard sinking fucking Titanics, almost always when a fighter or celebrity reveals their deepest, darkest secret: that they’re human, just like everyone else. A celebrity might age or say the wrong thing (something worthy of critique, certainly, but not abandonment or hate). And a fighter? Well, they lose. (Or, you know, they get popped for being a juiced-to-the-gills steroid balloon, but that’s not really relevant here.) That brings me to point two: invincibility. It’s kinda at-odds with that whole “Actually She Was A Human All Along” thing. But it’s the double-edged sword of being a truly dominant fighter: you don’t get to be human anymore. People come to expect almost mechanical in-cage performances time in and time out, refusing to accept that—even at the top of the world—it’s possible for someone to have an off-night. Somewhat ironically, the higher fighters climb, the more chances to make painfully human mistakes they receive. In hindsight, it’s almost not shocking that Rousey lost to Holm.

Rousey was at the center of the perfect storm of outside factors, across the cage from an experienced boxer with some of MMA’s most tactical coaches behind her . Rousey’s mom was publicly feuding with her coach, and—seemingly out of nowhere—her coach filed for bankruptcy under strange circumstances. Meanwhile, her new relationship with UFC heavyweight Travis Browne—a man recently accused of domestic violence—stirred up a controversy that Rousey had to field. On top of that, Rousey had to contend with one of the most intense media tours of her life. And all the while, she was flirting with opportunities in boxing and pro wrestling. Perhaps because of hubris, perhaps because of ambition and some events that were beyond her control, Rousey over-extended. She fucked up. She made a human mistake—or maybe a whole bunch of them. To top it all off, she severely underestimated Holm. She said she wasn’t worried about Holm’s striking. Ultimately, Rousey paid for that. And yet, the perception that Rousey was invincible still distorted the views of fans and pundits alike. In the MMA world, especially, all the above background stuff was known.

Rousey’s closet was wide open, and people were digging out skeletons left and right. But still, the betting odds remained overwhelmingly in her favor. Still, everyone felt her victory was a foregone conclusion. At best, some (myself included) figured, Holm would last longer than most of Rousey’s opponents—actually make a fight out of it. Then she’d fall like all the others. I think people want Rousey to be so much more than she is. We live in a world where women get sadly few role models, especially in athletic competition. People want Rousey to be flawless and emotionless—a combination of brawn, beauty, and sick burns against dicks like Floyd Mayweather. And she is... sometimes. However, she’s far from perfect. The less savory elements of Rousey’s personality and fighting style often get swept under the rug in favor of this idealized perception of her. People don’t want to acknowledge her mistakes—nor give her leeway to occasionally make them—because they need her to represent something. A powerful woman in sports, a larger than life figure. Some love her for that, others hate/fear her. In both cases, tempers flared when she fell.

I think people are in such uproar about Rousey’s loss in part because it was a sobering reminder that nobody can escape their humanity. Nobody can climb that far. We hope for superheroes, but we get human beings. Every single time. Despite all that, I’m actually glad Rousey lost. As I said in a previous article, the way she recovers from a loss will be infinitely more interesting than another dozen wins. Based on the path Rousey seems to have been headed down, I think it will be good for her too. She was getting distracted, failing to keep her eyes on the prize. She was underestimating people and buying into her own hype. This loss, hopefully, will refocus her—force her to add new dimensions to her game and become more well-rounded. Ronda Rousey is still great, but perhaps she can become greater.

Sorting those YouTube videos by those uploaded “Today,” Sunday, November 15, by the most-viewed videos prove that videos like the one featured below are pretty popular. Named “Holly Holm Knocks Out Ronda Rousey UFC 193,” the video is one of the 20 most-viewed YouTube videos of the Rousey knockout. The first 20 most-viewed YouTube videos already have approximately one million video views in total.

Warning: The videos showing Holm’s head-kick knockout to Rousey are graphic and might be disturbing to some viewers. The videos of Holm knocking out Rousey display what Ronda initially predicted would happen when Rousey met with Holm on November 14. As noted by the Bleacher Report, Ronda spoke with Jimmy Fallon about her fight with Holm back in October, as seen in the below video that was uploaded to YouTube on October 7. “Ronda Rousey runs down her UFC 193 opponent Holly Holm’s biggest advantages and challenges Jimmy to a Mario Kart rematch.” Ronda Rousey spoke about Holly Holm being a tough opponent who would likely try to take Rousey down with a head-kick knockout, and that’s exactly what Holm did to Rousey. Ronda Rousey called Holly Holm the type of fighter you have to be patient with, and Rousey predicted the type of fight that Holm would bring — and even though Rousey said her fight wouldn’t go like that, with Holm knocking her out with a kick to the head — that’s exactly how the fight went down.

In the video showing Holm knocking out Rousey with a kick to the head, viewers can see that Ronda Rousey is already injured and bloody before being knocked out. After the knockout fight was done, Rousey was transported to the hospital for an examination, as reported by the Associated Press. UFC chief Dana White explained that Ronda Rousey was taken to the hospital because of the knockout kick, and that being knocked out seriously affected Rousey’s mood. “She was transported (to hospital) because she got knocked out. Obviously she’s completely bummed out and depressed.” #GetWellSoon @RondaRousey rushed to hospital after brutal knock out (no comment from Floyd): pic.twitter.com/Wo5v6Z8n2t — BET (@BET) November 15, 2015 The brutal knockout of Ronda Rousey in the second round by Holly Holm represented Rousey’s first defeat.

— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) November 15, 2015 Rousey being knocked out was definitely a shocker for fans. Suggested search terms on YouTube show that the fighter is known for winning. Such terms as ‘Rousey 16-second knockout” and “Ronda Rousey 14-second fight” also showcase that Ronda’s 14-second fight against Cat Zingano has been the stuff of Rousey’s legend , as reported by the Bleacher Report. Now, in place of those search terms, the videos of Rousey’s first loss and head-kick knockout are turning up on such a grand scale that they will likely replace the former YouTube suggestions for Rousey, based upon searches by viewers. [Image via YouTube] The much-anticipated fight between Holly and Ronda took place in Melbourne, Australia on November 14. It was one day after the tragic attacks in Paris claimed the lives of more than 100 people and injured hundreds more; therefore, attention on the sporting event may have been lost for a time.

Holm, meanwhile, can be seen in the headlining Associated Press photo celebrating her win over Rousey, who appears completely dejected and defeated, bloody and battered. The UFC 193 Bantamweight title fight is still drawing lots of attention after the fact, since it is the first time that Rousey has lost. Reactions to Ronda’s first loss across social media often couple Rousey’s name with Floyd Mayweather, Jr. The fighters do occasionally go back and forth, with Mayweather being called Ronda’s nemesis, as reported by Yahoo Sports.

Holm landed a brutal kick to the head to knock Rousey down in round two, before following that up with some ground punches to stop her opponent after 59 seconds in front of a shocked Etihad Stadium in Melbourne. It was the first loss of Rousey’s MMA career, who had previously won her last three fights in a combined 64 seconds and was a massive favourite heading into the bout. “A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into the build-up of this but it was sure worth it.” Former boxing world champion Holm has now become the first person to ever win world titles in both boxing and mixed martial arts. The 34-year-old now has a record of 10-0, with seven of those victories coming by knockout.

Credit: Photo by Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images Former UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has been the face of women’s MMA ever since she joined the league in 2011. Her once flawless 12-0-0 record, nine of which were wins that took less than a minute, has given her quite a reputation, and, sadly, quite an ego. With the nickname “Rowdy,” Rousey is a confident fighter to say the least, and this confidence might have been her downfall last Sunday in her first-ever defeat.

In fact, it was not a close fight. Holly Holm (10-0-0) knew exactly what it took to top the “unbeatable” Rousey, and she executed it to perfection, completely taking over in the first round and finishing it with a punishing kick to Rousey’s face in the second. It was not a fluke victory. It was well deserved, and it was bound to happen. While it might have looked like a stunning upset, there are many factors that made this victory no surprise at all. First off, Holm is one of the greatest female welterweight boxers of all time, with an impressive 33-2-3 record. She uses these abilities in MMA to her advantage, and against Rousey she kept her space and got quick jabs in with ease. Rousey needs to grapple her opponent to win, and Holm did not let that happen. So why is this a big deal? Sure, even the best have off games, and Holm might just be Rousey’s kryptonite. The problem is that Rousey knew what Holm was going to do exactly and thought that she was just good enough to deal with it.

Last month, Rousey appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” and when asked about how long it would take to beat Holm, she proclaimed that this would be a much longer fight than usual. “This one is going to be a much longer fight. (Holm) is a 19-time world boxing champion … she’s the biggest threat to me on paper and stylistically,” Rousey said about her opponent. “(Holm) is someone you have to be patient with. I feel like she’s going to try to keep distance and get me frustrated to the point where I make a mistake and she can kick me in the head.” Rousey ended the statement with the unsurprisingly cocky proclamation, “but it’s not gonna go like that, not the way (Holm) wants it to.” Rousey predicted the future and gave a legitimate play-by-play of her brutal defeat a month before it actually happened: Holm kept her distance, made some big jabs at Rousey’s head, got Rousey frustrated, forced Rousey to make mistakes and kicked her in the head for a powerful knockout. So why did she not make any changes to her game? The answer is arrogance.

Rousey has been hyped up as an untouchable god in women’s MMA that she herself even believed it, so she went into this fight as if it was just another walkover, even though in the back of her mind she knew what could happen. Rousey was too cocky, and this time it hurt her. From her pre-fight Instagram post insulting Holm to not touching gloves with Holm at the beginning of the match, it is clear that Rousey had no respect for her opponent and thought she was going to walk all over her. All of that talk would make Holm appear to be a bad person, but Holm has been nothing but praised for her out-of-the-ring personality, being called incredibly nice and down to earth by many. So, Rousey’s statements are most likely false, and are just a result of scorning a worthy opponent. Rousey is one of the most talented female athletes alive, but that does not make her invincible. Her head became way overinflated with the fame, and she truly thought she could win with sheer power and ability over anyone, even when she knew deep down Holm was a different opponent.

This match should be praised for Holm’s terrific takedown of an egotistical icon, and not be shown as a small chink in Rousey’s armor. This is not one small chink; this is a gaping hole that was hidden in the shadows through Rousey’s first 12 fights, and now the whole world is very aware of it.

Question: In 2015 Ronda Rousey lost to Holly Holm in what brutal sporting discipline?
Answer: UFC
