Holly Holm shocked the world.
In an upset that rivals Matt Serra’s shocker over Georges St. Pierre at UFC 69, Holm dispatched Ronda Rousey via second-round knockout to capture the bantamweight title at UFC 193 in Melbourne on Saturday night. “The Preacher’s Daughter” was in control throughout a contest that ranks as her most dominant UFC victory in three Octagon appearances.
Perhaps the most telling statistic to capture what transpired Down Under is not quantifiable, as it is impossible to truly measure the number of jaws that dropped when Holm ended Rousey’s reign with a high kick and follow-up punches 59 seconds into round two.
