Ronda Rousey opens up on UFC losses: I was never taught how to ‘lose’

Ronda Rousey’s MMA career took a serious nosedive after her shocking loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193.

Rousey, who was often hyped as the Mike Tyson of women’s MMA, had looked unstoppable in the Octagon and finished all but one of her opponents (Miesha Tate) in the first round.

But then ‘The Preacher’s Daughter’ came along, and Rousey’s aura of invincibility was ruined for good.

Holm entered UFC 193 as a heavy underdog but left the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia as the new women’s bantamweight champion, having done the impossible and knocked Rousey off the top spot with a vicious head kick in the second round.
