Comments Thread For: Holly Holm Shocks The World, KO's Ronda Rousey

So glad another hype train got derailed lol.

I said it before Rousey DOES NOT MOVE HER HEAD!! .... It was a laughable watch in all honesty. The funny thing is on the MMA websites, the general consensus was that Holm was too green, they felt her grappling and wrestling was no where near good enough to last longer than a round.

Just shows you the power of the media when they create these myths, talking about she can beat Mayweather in 15 seconds, in a street fight etc and you had guys really backing those statements.

Imagine how many more of those ridiculous comments we would have had if Rousey won loool.

Holly Holm from the bottom of my heart I thank you. I don't like boxing being disrespected and hopefully it stops for a while at least till they find the next MMA hype train.

Holm was killing her with straight rights and she threw Rousey to the mat, picked her up and stuck her with a left kick to the jaw. Rousey goes down and Holm crushes her 3 times in the face before the fight is stopped.

Looked like Rousey underestimated Holm, she was slow, sloppy and off balance.

I was seeing straight lefts.

Yeah I could see grown men trying to cry here, Holm actually won this fight by using her boxing knowledge, the kick might have brought Rousey down but the jabs and left hook did all the major damage.

Yeah apart from taking her down and kicking her, the damage came from those hard pot shots. And Holm moved laterally and beautifully around the ring to avoid getting grabbed. I thought when I saw the kick that it was more of an MMA brawl then I saw more of the fight highlights and noticed Holm potshotted and used her legs, ducked, dodged, was elusive and eventually just put Rousey out with a kick to the neck.

For those who missed it, Rousey predicted her own defeat on Fallon last month; “She’s the type of fighter you have to be very patient with,” Rousey said. “She’s going to try to keep distance and keep far away from me and keep me frustrated and to the point where I’ll make a mistake and she’ll try to kick me in the head – but it’s not going to go like that.”

Except, it did go EXACTLY like that...
Can't say they didn't warn her... er, rather... that she didn't warn herself...

Somebody's "0" got to go! Boxer beat the MMA fighter.

Didn't this same thing happened to Gina Carano kind of? Not lose to a former boxer but she was a very popular MMA fighter, super hot, but got too famous and sidetracked with extra acitivities and then got knocked out by Cris Cyborg. It seems like that's the formula to lose in MMA.

Yea I just caught that video post fight & it was eerie hearing her shotcall her own downfall.

That kinda just goes to show what a badass Holm is. They knew what Holm was gonna do & couldn't stop her. Rousey also had an armbar escaped from which is a seldom happening thing which makes you think a rematch probably isn't gonna go that much differently.

I wonder how or if this affects any of the movie **** Rousey has in the pipeline. The Roadhouse remake might still be in play, but I imagine a Rousey biopic looks a lil less attractive when you just got KO'd.
