Considered the most dominant fighter in mixed martial arts, “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey entered UFC 193 intent on defending her UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship by beating up challenger Holly Holm the same way she destroyed her previous three opponents in a combined 64 seconds. Rousey would leave UFC 193 en route to the hospital without her title.
In arguably the biggest upset in the history of mixed martial arts – and perhaps one of the biggest in the history of sports – Rousey was defeated by Holm at the UFC 193 PPV event in Melbourne, Australia for the first time in her distinguished MMA career, losing her Bantamweight title in the process.
After shocking the record-setting crowd by seemingly losing the first round of the fight, Rousey came out aggressive in the second round but was in pursuit of Holm the entire time, ultimately overexerting herself and falling prey to a brutal kick to the neck that knocked her down.
