Holy Knockout Holly!


Ronda Rousey loses to Holly Holm by knockout


The woman who shocked the ultimate fighting world,American Holly Holm,says she wants to give fallen champion Rhonda Rousey a re-match for the title she took from her in what is being described As the  "greatest upset in UFC history" at Etihad Stadium.


Rousey was immediately transported to hospital after being knocked out by Holm early in the second round, and the sport's transcendent star was reportedly "bummed out and depressed" after suffering the first loss of her career in front of 56,000 in Melbourne on Sunday.






With the surprise result main event providing a dramatic conclusion, the UFC trumpeted UFC193 as a "massive success", with the Rousey-Holm marquee breaking attendance and gate takings records.

Holm, known as The Preacher's Daughter, becomes the first fighter ever to have won both a world boxing and UFC title.

In the media conference after the fights, UFC promoters said that a Holm-Rousey rematch "made sense", and Holm agreed.


"I have been on the losing side of a fight and wanted to avenge my loss," the 34-year-old said

"So for a champion like Ronda, who has gone out of her way to do great things, absolutely, she deserves a rematch.


"I don't look at this fight and think I've made it. I think I've still got some things to do."

Holm could scarcely believe what she had done, looking down at a bloodied Rousey spread on the mat as the stunned Melbourne crowd went crazy for the thrilling finish.
