Albuquerque welcomes home UFC champion Holly Holm

It appears all of these things weighed on Rousey entering UFC 193, where she suffered her first career loss to Holly Holm, thus losing the bantamweight title. “You, here, Albuquerque, made this possible”. I love you guys, thank you so much’.

Now that looks like a pretty decent day, with 20,000 of her closest friends.

“I came out here because i’m actually taking karate lessons at AKKA, and my instructor’s been talking about Holly for so long, and so it’s cool to actually see her”, said Carson.

The 29-year-old fighter also shared her sentiments on the ongoing rumors that a large chunk of the reason why Ronda lost was because of a lot of external factors distracting her including her fame in Hollywood and alleged drama inside her camp. But you have to give Ronda the time.

Rousey will likely also talk comebacks in Shelburne’s piece, which has not yet been released online, although she likely won’t have a date in mind. What’s insane is, a lot of people have been saying ‘you should make this fight, you should make that fight’. I feel there’s so much love out there.

On Nov. 15, Holm, a 900-1 underdog, sent Rousey to the mat in the second round of their bantamweight championship bout with a devastating left kick to the jaw, knocking her out and sending her to the hospital. I’m looking forward to seeing how Ronda Rousey fills out Patrick Swayze’s jeans as much as the next person, but it’s her performances in the cage that really interest me in the end.

Holm was able to deliver several brutal blows on Rousey’s head before the referee got in between them, which ended the 12-fight unbeaten run of Rowdy, and handed the bantamweight title to the New Mexico native.
