The MMA community reacted to Holly Holm’s outstanding upset victory over Ronda Rousey with an odd mixture of shock, joy and I told you sos.
Rousey was was a heavy favorite going into the main event of UFC 193 and and many expected her to put Holm away early like pretty much every one of her previous opponents.
However, Holm didn’t like the sound of that and used her vastly superior striking to completely outclass Rousey and usurp her 135 lb throne.
Holm finished the fight with a stunning head kick knockout early in the second round that turned Rousey’s lights off.
To say that Twitter lost its mind after the massive upset would be an equally massive understatement.
