MELBOURNE, Australia – Holly Holm did the unthinkable at UFC 193, knocking out heavily favored Ronda Rousey to take the UFC women’s bantamweight championship.
Perhaps more shocking than the result was the fact that Holm (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) dominated Rousey (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) from the opening bell, landing stiff punches to the champion’s face that altered the fight from early in Round 1. The bout served as the main event at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia.
