She got crushed the whole way. Crazy..
Holm is one of the best female boxers ever. She's also a really good kickboxer. But she was still a big under dog. One of the biggest upsets in MMA history.Was the challenger pretty good? How big of an upset is this?

So Happy. Was glad someone knocked her out. Sick of hearing about Ronda this and Ronda that
Rousey was hospitalized after the fight. I don't know if I've ever seen a more perfect kick to the head.she looked like a giant out there. rousey was trying to box with her. big mistake.
that kick to her head could have killed her.

Any UFC champ with reasonable takedown skills - essentially all of them - would / should be able to tie up a boxer and get him / her down. Rousey foolishly stood and boxed (for the most part) and the boxer took her out. Totally nonplussed as to Rousey's strategy; she played to Holm's strength and got owned.I've always thought that UFC fighters were jacks of all trades and masters of none. Their efforts at throwing punches have always looked kind of amateurish to me. Rousey got into the ring with someone who really knew how to box. I think that's what would happen to most UFC champs vs. accomplished boxers.
Yeah, I guess it mostly depends on the matchup. I'm just beginning to really understand mma. I'm a life long boxing fan, and swore off mma until Bones Jones got me interested just a few years ago. That said, if you're the best at the ground game, like Rousey, I don't know why she didn't go for that right away. She didn't seem like herself.

Yeah you didn't see James Toney when he tried MMA, that "accomplished boxer" got his ass handed to him. Many " accomplished boxers" have tried UFC and all failed miserably. 1 girl had 1 great night, I wouldn't read too much into itI've always thought that UFC fighters were jacks of all trades and masters of none.

That very well could be the case, esp. if Cyborg is on the schedule. Going to be interesting to see how White handles this.You know how in tennis somebody is #1 and basically is unbeatable, and then someone knocks them off and they're still good, but not invincible anymore? I wonder if that's how this will go.
Cyborg can't make weight and can't pass a drug test. It will never happenThat very well could be the case, esp. if Cyborg is on the schedule. Going to be interesting to see how White handles this.

Ok? I'm no expert on mma, but was going off of what many mma expert's said after.Was the 16th biggest upset in betting terms for MMA
