Rousey knocked out in the 2nd round...

Twitter is about to explode.

But I figured since Rousey is probably the biggest star* in sports right now not named LeBron James...it was relevant in some capacity.
*I don't mean literally - I mean most buzz at this current moment with sports, movies, air time, etc.

Holly Holm with a 2nd round KO to beat Ronda Rousey. I've watched enough UFC fights to never be surprised but I'm shocked.

I was going to bet on Holm. Oh well.
But Rousey looked like shit, and walked into everything Holm could have dreamed of. 30 secounds in you knew Rousey was going down.

you've obviously never watched the ladies at Walmart on Black Friday. Amirite?

Rousey was one of the most overhyped athletes to grace any sport. The definition of a one trick pony. Put some $$ on Holm and made some nice profit. Holm had superior movement and excellent striking, which absolutely dominated Rousey. I thought it would be more of a fight, but it really wasn't even close.
November 15th, 2015 at 12:59 AM ^
upset in sports since...
November 15th, 2015 at 1:04 AM ^
It's not a surprise really if you know martial arts... Ronda was idiotic to think she could out hands Holly Holm, a champion kickboxer/boxer... Ronda's hands are her biggest weakness. Instead of trying to wait for opportunity to shoot in she kept chasing and got tagged repeatedly.
In terms of hype I guess it could be up there...
And people really thought Rousey could beat up Floyd Mayweather ...
November 15th, 2015 at 1:54 AM ^
Holly Holm can beat Floyd Mayweather.
Sounds like a perfect topic for Bayless and SAS.
November 15th, 2015 at 1:02 AM ^
November 15th, 2015 at 1:06 AM ^
That doesn't change the fact that it's an upset.

Admittedly I don't really follow the sport.
November 15th, 2015 at 2:08 AM ^
was partially due to women's MMA not having a high level of competition yet (like Wilt Chamberlain in bball). Rousey is a great fighter but has some glaring weaknesses (striking and no head movement) but her strengths usually finish fights before those weak areas come into play. Holm is a great striker and was able to land big shots because of Rousey's terrible movement, and combine that with her terrible strategy trying to box with a champion boxer rather than using her judo it isn't that much of a surprise she lost.
November 15th, 2015 at 1:53 AM ^
Well betting on women's MMA is quite easy. The one who has an endorsement for a fast food breakfast sandwich is the one who is supposed to win.

to casual fans - Buster Douglas over Iron Mike.
Maybe not so much to MMA fans.

Apparently it was in the similar time zone to Toyko. Hey undefeated fighting people - dont fight in Asia area. Thats where massive upsets happen.

Manila wasn't so bad for Muhammad Ali.
November 15th, 2015 at 1:30 AM ^
Have you seen that fight? Frazier beat the living shit out of Ali--they both dished out punishment, but Ali took an inhuman amount. He won because Frazier's people threw in the towel as Frazier's eyes were shut, but Ali collapsed in the ring right after the announcement. He had been ready to quit himself. Ali never recovered.
November 15th, 2015 at 1:34 AM ^
You know your boxing. That's exacty what happened. Ali was done and was about to quit. The sad part is they both messed each other up bad and neither ever really recovered.
November 15th, 2015 at 1:10 AM ^
FWIW, I think Ronda Rousey was like a -2000+ favorite and the opponent was like +1000.
UFC (Betting wise), you very rarely see these massive upsets.
November 15th, 2015 at 1:12 AM ^
Well at least she'll have more time for cameo roles in movies now.

Floyd is still an enormous piece of shit.
November 15th, 2015 at 2:00 AM ^
With the amount of money Mayweather has. I don't think he really cares that he is a piece of shit.
Hell if I had 1/16th of the money he has my family, and friends could all disown me. And I wouldn't give two fucks in the world because I could just buy new family, and friends.
November 15th, 2015 at 2:54 AM ^
It's likely you don't have any friends as it is.
November 15th, 2015 at 2:58 AM ^
Well I though I had two, but with that scathing response I guess I'm down to one.
November 15th, 2015 at 11:36 AM ^
He's only a multiple time woman beater who did jail time for getting caught the last time. He got caught because he beat the mother of his children in front of them. Clearly he doesn't give a shit that he is a pimple on the ass of life.
