[Azzurri]

One of the best performances in the history of the sport.

Rousey walked right into Holm's game from the beginning and got what she deserved...awesome stuff

Did that really just happen? Rousey looked like an amateur in that fight

 

[Azzurri]

It just doesn't look real.

Rousey's never even been in minor trouble and she's just been dominated for an entire round, made to look silly for the first couple of minutes of the second and brutally knocked out.

Wow.

Wow.

I guess anyone is beatable. Holm is one hell of a fighter

 

[Kiwi]

She got dominated, always chasing it too hard IMO.
Massively open to her jabs as well

Trying to outbox a champion boxer/kick boxer. Got it all wrong. Should make for an awesome rematch though.

 

[JAYTALITY]

She just better fighter hands down. But I wonder will she get the hype Ronda got. Ronda would be best not even rematching her.

Has to be a rematch. With a better game plan.

I don't think she can outbox her or kick. I think she tried to get close and.she wasn't having it.

Not a chance, mate. Comfortably better on the night and definitely a better striker, but Rousey has faced the best the division has to offer and dispatched them with ease. That was Holm's first fight against a good opponent, and she hasn't looked spectacular in the past. Rousey could concievably win a rematch with ease.

I think Rousey lost tonight because she wanted to make a statement. She hardly clinched with Holm and only attempted one takedown, despite having better grappling by a mile. Strange.

Rousey has to take her to the ground. Armbar her. Holm is a boxing champ. Silly game plan today going toe to toe against her.

If she does defend the title I'd say Ufc would be gutted. She really was attracting alot of attention, the bandwagon will be a lot lighter.

Correct. She looked beaten in the weighins too. Very weird. Looked like she was full of doubts.
Sometimes a loss can be the best thing.
I look forward to a rematch.
