Uriah Hall stepping into the ring next...
UFC 193

Wow! That is all I can say with the ending to this UFC!!!
Yep. Set my alarm to see what turned out to be a bloody fight and woke just after it finished. Thankfully the people I know that are in Paris, are okay.
She deserved to lose.
Man that must have riled her up even more.
Rhonda was smart to not just charge in, but just didnt have the striking experience to do what she needed to do.
Its incredibly hard to get proper takedowns on someone with good movement as she learned
Part of it falls to her coaches for letting her think her striking was up to par, and telling her shes doing good in between the rounds.
Thats being a cheerleader and not a coach

Yeah,her coach was going on about how she could beat a womens world boxing champion in a boxing match, which is just delusional. Rousey is a world-class grappler and her striking has come along in the last couple of years, but she doesn't have high-level pro boxing skills.

Coaching walks kind of a fine line.
Elder, you know the Rousey family. How much is this going to mess up Ronda's head? Is she going to come back stronger, or fall apart?
And what I find fun to think about is what the promoters are going to do......
Will Holm fight somebody else before she meets Rousey again?
Where does this leave Miesha Tate?
Where does it leave Chris Cyborg?
If Holm DOES fight someone else before Rousey, and loses, how does that affect a rematch with Ronda?
Can Ronda actually beat Holm? If they fight again and Rousey loses again - is that the end of her career?
What about her movie roles, like that remake of Roadhouse, think the producers feel like throwing any money at that puppy now that she got her butt whooped. Unless, of course, Holm was a fellow bouncer.
Oh, I so love this stuff.
I do think this is good for the sport, in that it proves the women's division has a deeper bench of world-class fighters than just Rousey.
She should have used her energy to stay focus on the fight instead of showing an attitude.
She deserved to lose.
Her recovery was bad and as a result that kick.As we all hear, head kicks never work in a fight.
I agree. The best defense in the world is "hands up".
As we all hear, head kicks never work in a fight.
Thanks for finding that video. Holms executed her game plan perfectly. Very impressive.
I'm sure Ronda knows how to get back to her feet correctly, but by that point in the fight she was already somewhat concussed (not to mention frustrated). She hasn't had to deal with taking those kind of shots before in her career. It takes a fair amount of experience to be able to maintain perfect technique after you've eaten a bunch of hard shots to the head.
