She’s made noise about maybe quitting soon, fancies she can have a film career (LOL). Not bloody likely if she doesn’t get that belt back.

Mike Tyson never got a 2nd crack at Douglas.

Post fight starting on FS*2* right now.

A lot of people don’t have that channel.

I could not believe that in between rounds, Rousey’s corner was telling her to keep both hands up! It was like amateur hour.

A world title is no place to be training basics. She should have avoided a striking contest with all her skill, but it looked like her (and her corner’s) intent was to try striking for a while to gain some experience, or prove a point.

Pride goeth before a fall.

Holly is a class act. I didn't think she looked that good in her last fight, kinda awkward and slow. Not tonight! She was outstanding. That was a fantastic performance. Wow. I'm very happy for her.

Well, that's a wrap folks. Fun night, thanks for stopping by.

We'll be back next week for UFC Fight Night, and the week after that and the week after that. Looking forward to seeing Paige Van Zant fight in a few weeks. Really looking forward to December 12th Aldo VS McGregor if Aldo can stay healthy.

See you there.

I haven’t been this shocked since Matt Serra beat GSP for the Walter weight title.

I just saw some highlights on the post game show, and HOLY HECK, she absolutely wrecked Rousey.

Embarrassed her even.

It was total destruction.

Holly is an impressive fighter, Good God!

“She has made noise about maybe quitting soon, fancies she can have a film career “

She has had small parts in a few movies, but has her first leading role signed up - she will play the bouncer in a remake of Road House, playing the role the Patrick Swayze made famous.

She could probably do some announcing/commentating.

At 28, she could well make a comeback, but it is a tempting point to change careers.

Yep, yep!

I got to see some devastating highlights and a photo of the high kick finish.

Dude, Holly dismantled Ronda. DISMANTLED! There are some parts lying of there in that corner, and that’s what used to be Ronda!

OMG!

Another bad sign for the Democrats. Rousey comes out as being Bonkers for Bernie and then loses her first fight...in dominating fashion.

My pleasure. That was huge fun and historic. Best event in ages, perhaps longer.

You too, StoneWall!

It’s like a shift in the universe happened.

Holly seems like a true class act, I was watching her post fight interview.

Good lady there!

Congratulations to Holly Holm!

She lost because of Hollywood and all the fame went to her damn head. She also fought a stupid fight. She’t not a good boxer and she tried to box this 35 year old fighter who’s had 40 fights in her career. She ignored her judo. Holm is a much more seasoned veteran fighter. Rousey either needs to take training serious or quit. She also needs to quit believing the hype and stay the hell off talk shows and ESPN. She’s a great fighter, but any fighter can lose. I’ll put my money on her winning a rematch. This lose will only make women’s MMA bigger than it already is.

It’s shocking, man.

I am still pretty much speechless.

It wasn’t even a defeat of Ronda, it was a SCHOOLING!

Holly, was like okay, Ronda, I’m going to teach you how to fight for real now, watch and learn.

Stunning, absolutely stunning, she made Ronda look like an amateur.
