Tate – who was hosting a UFC 193 viewing party – had this to say to the former champion, “I’m f****** stoked! f*** Ronda Rousey!”
But the U.S. cult figure assured her supporters she has no serious health concerns and would be back in the Octagon before long.
On the fighter’s side of Holm’s win, Miesha Tate, Cyborg Justino and Laila Ali all laid into Rousey, basking in the reflective glory of watching the top female athlete on the planet fall. “She’s completely bummed out and depressed”.
While her tweet was short and sweet, Tate’s reaction was the most outlandish, having complained in September about not getting a shot at Rousey for UFC 193.
White said a likely rematch between Holm and Rousey would put other potential matchups on the backburner. But Holm was able to see an opening 59 seconds after the start of the second round.
Trump is unhappy with the former UFC Champion after she publicly backed his election rival Bernie Sanders, who’s been compared to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Obviously UFC fans don’t fall into a key demographic for the businessman.

Rousey was expected to fight on the UFC 200 card in Las Vegas on 9 July next year, but UFC president Dana White admitted that talking about her future was very hard to do after such a comprehensive loss. “I don’t look at this fight and think I’ve made it. I think I’ve still got a few things to do”, Holm said in the Sydney Morning Herald report. Her boxing was crisp and her footwork accurate, but the truth is that both fights were tit-for-tat until she was deservedly awarded both wins.
