“I’ll be back”: Rousey

Holm’s pre-fight visualizations proved valuable, as she saw a variety of situations play out in her head ahead of time, allowing her to formulate the proper counters and retaliations.

Nicknamed “The Preacher’s Daughter”, Holm was declared victor via technical knockout (TKO) and became the new UFC champion in the women’s bantamweight division.

Rousey claimed a bronze medal in judo at the 2008 Olympics before fighting her way to the top of the top, and Dolce said she would draw on that experience ahead of a probable re-match against Holm.

“This one’s going to be a much longer fight because she’s a 19-time world boxing champion with 100 per cent takedown defence and head-kick knockouts”, Rousey said.

So, who do you think between Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm went home with a larger prize money?

“I just really wouldn’t trust the guy with running my country, that’s all….”

It was Rousey’s first defeat in 13 bouts and leaves Holm undefeated in the mixed martial arts sport with a 10-0 record.

White tweeted this morning that Rousey had a number of stitches in her lip. She had appeared arrogant and was openly disrespectful towards her opponent, which did not go unnoticed by MMA fans who took to Twitter and vented their thoughts about Rousey and the result of the fight. “Obviously she is completely bummed out and depressed, but that is it”.

Tate is ranked #1 in the official UFC rankings and was originally scheduled to face Rousey in Melbourne at UFC 193 before Dana White pulled the rug out from under her and put Holm in her place.

While her invicibility may be gone, Rousey will have a chance to win her title back soon.

“I just felt like, ‘How could I not do this?’ I had the best coaching from wrestling to grappling to stand-up”, Holm said afterward, to the Los Angeles Times. In arguably the biggest fight of her career, she bombed.
