American mixed martial artist Holly Holm is currently in the news now after shockingly beating favourite Ronda Rousey in the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship on Sunday, November 16.

Assuming the rematch happens a few time within the next 12 months, I doubt Rousey will be able to close the gap in pure striking ability. “I’m pretty sure she’s a very, very strong person, but we still have to take into consideration that she has feelings”.
And yes, the other girl and I would call each other “bum”, and we’d threaten to steamroll each other, but after the fight, we’d hug and go shopping together.
Oh, and she so overmatched her opponents that former Strikeforce champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino kept resurfacing as a possible opponent despite being banned from Strikeforce for substance abuse back in 2011.
Memes mocking Rousey spread through social media.
What a fight that’s going to be. If their sports want to test them, fine.
I did it in Dublin before my last night, more because I wanted to get the home crowd up for the fight. And we shouldn’t expect her to. And I volunteer my services. It’s like, ‘s-t, I don’t even want to watch this fight. But for the good of those sports. It was a magnificent performance and one that will go down in history as one of the biggest upsets in MMA history. Ronda Rousey is human.
Meanwhile, E! News learned that Rousey has been depressed since the major loss, which probably wasn’t helped at all as many celebrities took to Twitter to slam her, criticizing both her character and the way she went down on Saturday. It took just one look at the response from her teammates watching her win the UFC belt to see her training partners at Greg Jackson’s gym absolutely love her.
If you take it all the way back to UFC 1, which occurred 22 years ago just around the same time of the year as Holm and Rousey’s bout, you can see those roots take hold.
Former boxer-turned- beauty maven Laila Ali weighed in on her thoughts to TMZ, “In order to be the best in the world, you definitely don’t ever get beat up like that in your prime, period”. She will also star in her own biopic titled “My Fight/Your Fight”, and she is attached to “Mile 22” and “The Athena Project”.
“There’s always good confidence knowing you did it once”.

Although a comeback for the Rouser has been widely anticipated, one MMA fighter believes that such may not be the best move for the fallen champ. You’re insane. In my opinion, I don’t think [she fights again].
