Contrasting emotions between Holly Holm’s and Ronda Rousey’s families during that knock-out

Agony and ecstasy

SportsJOE

They must be the Irish ones.

The agony and ecstasy of sport was never better captured as it was on the faces of loved ones during UFC 193.

During a historic moment in time when Holly Holm shook the world – Irish Holly Holm as she will become known hereto-forth via the granny rule if we can find it –  the family and friends of both fighters told the story itself.

If you didn’t know by now, Holm pulled off one of the greatest upsets in UFC history when she not only defeated Ronda Rousey, but gave her an awful beating in the process.

And the reaction on the side from both camps was exactly as you’d expect.

This is why we get into sport.
