OMG! – 11-14-2015, SAT – Holly Holm knocked out Ronda Rousey on Saturday in Melbourne, Australia, with a kick to the head in the second round to become the women’s bantamweight champion in the main event of UFC 193.
Rousey, who blossomed into a superstar with a series of spectacular finishes, was never in the fight.
A multiple time boxing champion, Holm easily won the first round by picking apart Rousey with her hands. Rousey’s coach, Edmond Tarverdyan, said before the bout that he felt Rousey could outbox Holm, but that battle wasn’t even close.
Holm circled, moving in and out, firing both lefts and rights, landing with great accuracy. Rousey kept moving forward, but her defense was loose and she didn’t have much of an answer for Holm’s accurate, precise strikes.
