Ronda needs to change her training camp. Despite decisively losing the first round, Rousey’s coach stubbornly insists that Holm was not getting the better of Ronda during the striking exchanges (http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2015/11/16/9742780/ufc-193-ronda-rousey-coach-tarverdyan-holly-holm-didnt-better-striking-mma).

Holm, the boxer had a longer reach and landed many damaging blows. Rousey was on queer street and fell after missing a punch, she had no defense for the jabs that kept landing on her face. It was hard to watch. Holm fought a smart fight, spun her around, and as she was turning back - whack, came the kick to the side of the head. That knocked her out and the ref smartly stopped the ground and pound. It was masterful, and Rousey looked like an amateur.

Holm negated Rousey’s wrestling and judo skills, and then pummeled her from a distance using her reach advantage.

Should be an interesting rematch if Rousey can get past that force field.
