The UFC has a new women’s bantamweight champion.
Ronda Rousey has ruled the roost for almost three years, finishing off her six challengers in just over 25 minutes. Holly Holm was having none of that.
The challenger, who closed as a 5-1 underdog, easily took the first round and then knocked the champion cold with a head kick in the second round to win the belt.
This was one of the biggest upsets in UFC history, and it capped off an excellent night of fights. The preliminary card wasn’t packed with names, but it delivered solid action. Aside from one snoozer, the main card was likewise excellent, and fans who tuned in to see the champion received a solid product.
We’ll take a look at what comes next for UFC 193‘s competitors in this edition of “Matches to Make.”
