I cannot believe she lost that fight, and got knocked out cold in the process - she was un-fucking-conscious.
That girl Holly Holm (Is it a rule in UFC that their names have to alliterate?) was way tougher than I gave her credit for being, even though she's a world champion too, and she was obviously incredibly prepared for Rousey's moves. I thought it was going to be over when Ronda got her on the ground the first time, and it's really to Holm's credit that she was able to patiently and methodically work her way free from that.
To me, Ronda looked a split-second behind everything right out of the gate, like she was stuck in her head instead of being in the moment of the fight. I mean, she'd have clobbered me if I somehow ended up in that ring, but compared to herself when she's firing on all cylinders she seemed slowish and not-quite committed to the fight.
I don't know if this link will last long, because the UFC is on top of their copyrights on youtube, but here's the full fight
