It would be fair to say that Ronda Rousey went into her UFC 193 fight with Holly Holm as firm favourite, the undefeated champ being talked up by many as the most fearsome female fighter the sport has ever seen.

A mere six minutes later and that reputation was shattered, Holm flooring Rousey and sending her straight to hospital. Fox Sports reports that Holm was ‘as much as a 20-to-1 underdog’ and described the knockout blow as follows:

Holm wasted no time setting the pace in the second round as she stunned Rousey right away during a scramble. Rousey started to get up off the mat and just as she lifted her hands and turned, Holm absolutely blasted her with a left high kick that sent Rousey crashing back to the mat.

Holm followed with a couple more strikes on the ground as referee Herb Dean swooped in to stop the fight before Rousey could take any more damage.

I guess now we wait for the rematch. See that Floyd and Manny, that’s how you entertain a crowd.
