Rousey’s coach: Holm wasn’t getting the better of Ronda in the striking

Coach Edmond Tarverdyan breaks down Ronda Rousey’s loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193 in Melbourne, Australia.

On Saturday night, 56,000 Australian fans witnessed the (literal) collapse of superstar Ronda Rousey when a head kick delivered by Holly Holm separated her from her senses in the second round of the main event.

It was a surreal fight to experience. For the first time in her career, Rousey appeared lost and confused as she charged at Holm. She was outclassed in the striking department and was unable to take the fight to the ground on command.
