Ronda Rousey is no longer the UFC bantamweight champion—after Holly Holm scored a surprising second-round knockout in a really amazing battle of the blondes during UFC 193 in Melbourne.
Ronda hadn’t seen an opponent make it past the first round since Miesha Tate in 2013, so she might’ve known that she was in trouble. Holm managed to get past Rousey’s notorious armbar, and showed off some seriously superior footwork.
We’ll probably hear some talk from Rousey in the next few days about being overconfident. It won’t help her previous fine reputation that she refused to touch gloves with Holm. Maybe that tense weigh-in footage from yesterday really wasn’t just hype.
For now, though, check out the UFC’s latest champ–who isn’t shy about showing off her happiness in the ring….
