Holly Holm just knocked out Rousey

[Doyle]

Did they kiss afterwards?

Just saw the highlights...that was a straight ass-whoopin'.  Holm was able to not let Rousey flip her to the ground, Holm just punched the poo out of her over and over.

I rewatched it again this morning without the adrenaline of watching it live, and realize Holm fought an even more complete fight than I'd thought. I was thinking that Rousey just got bad advise and didn't attempt her judo game. But no, she did, Holly blocked the throw, then when Rousey did get her down Holm fought out of it and got up.

Her striking coach Edmund is an absolute idiot who has never coached a single successful fighter before Rousey. I mean just look at him between rounds, he literally told Ronda she was doing great and to keep it up. He should have said 'you just got your ass kicked, arm bar her in 10 seconds this round."

Quote from her trainer..." I wouldn't say in the striking game she was getting the best of Ronda, you know, but I have to watch it again. But we know this was not a striking match; we know that Ronda is smart enough to take the fight where she is best at and today she did. Holly stopped an attempt on an arm bar and stopped some of the takedowns. She did a good job." http://espn.go.com/mma/story/_/id/14133416/holly-holm-kos-ronda-rousey-second-round-ufc-193

You're right, he is a moron.

Rousey has the best ground game in the womens UFC, but her stand up is absolutely woeful. talk about one dimensional.

Seemed to me she was completely unable to defend herself from a South Paw throwing haymakers.

The kick was just the coup de gras.

Rousey has been overrated for a while now.  Unfortunately, though, it's not really her fault.  There just isn't that much real talent in her weight class.  So she hasn't had anyone that can truly challenge and push her.  She knew going into pretty much every fight that she could bully her way to a win.  But what all those fights never showed her was just how one dimensional she was.  When in all your fights you're fighting someone that just can't match your strength and isn't an overly skilled striker, it tends to make you overconfident in your own abilities. 

I think that Rhonda truly thought she could hang with Holly on her feet until she could throw her to the ground and dominate her way to a win.  Unfortunately for Rousey, what she found was a woman whose striking skills are light years ahead of her own, and someone that is actually stronger than she is, so her bully tactics don't work.  I don't think it was that Rhonda didn't prepared properly, I just think that Holly outclassed her in every facet of the match, and Rhonda had no answer.

And to be honest, I really don't see a rematch going much different, except Rhonda won't try to stand with her.  But when all is said and done, Holly's skill with take the day.  Of course that's if Rousey ever fights again.  This wasn't just a loss, it was a beat down.  The type that can shatter a fighters confidence and will to continue.  There was nothing she could do against Holm.  Holm had superior footwork, more speed, and was able to block and power out of Rhonda's bread and butter.  I just don't see Rhonda improving enough to overcome Holly's superior skill level.  I can easily see her using her burgeoning movie career as an excuse to keep her out of the octagon with Holm again.  After all, she was already headed in that direction anyway.

She can improve, people do it all the time.  It'll take a lot longer than a couple months though.  Honestly to me it looked like Ronda had one game plan and when that failed she was lost.  Terrible preparation.
