Holly Holm Knocks Out Ronda Rousey in Stunning UFC 193 Title Upset (VIDEO)

I saw all the bloody, swollen photos of Ronda Rousey's face last night on Twitter and I thought the photos were retouched.

But no. She got her face punched in by Holly Holm! It was major, wow!

At the Los Angeles Times, "Ronda Rousey is knocked out by Holly Holm in UFC title fight":

After belting Rousey with a left hand to the head that turned the former champion, leaving her awkwardly exposed as she stood from a slip, Holm followed with a knockout left kick to the right side of Rousey's head.

With the previously unbeaten Rousey briefly unconscious on the canvas, Holm unleashed a couple hammer punches toward the face that caused referee Herb Dean to stop the fight 59 seconds into the second round.

Holm expressed a look of awe as the groggy Rousey awoke and was aided to a stool placed in the middle of the octagon at Etihad Stadium, where a shocked crowd estimated at more than 60,000 looked on along with a pay-per-view audience expected to surpass 1 million.

"I'm trying to take it in, but it's crazy," Holm said in the octagon after the massive upset that ranks with Matt Serra's stunning victory over former welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and Chris Weidman's knockout of longtime middleweight champion Anderson Silva...
Also, "Holly Holm cashes in her life's work to shock Ronda Rousey," and "Ronda Rousey has earned right to rematch with Holly Holm, UFC president says."
