Dana White’s reaction said it all.
“Wow,” the UFC president responded when asked what was going through his mind Saturday night immediately following Holly Holm’s upset win over Ronda Rousey at UFC 193 in Melbourne, Australia.
Rousey, of course, was a heavy favorite going into the fight, having won her previous three UFC women’s bantamweight championship matches in a combined 64 seconds. Yet Holm shocked the world in what MMA commentator Joe Rogan told White was “by far the biggest upset in UFC history.”
Rousey reportedly didn’t suffer a concussion despite a vicious second-round knockout.
