    Only just got round to watching it. Got a proper pasting. That should have brought her down a peg or two.

    Couldn't understand the tactics at all.

    She went forward in straight lines with no head movement against someone with far superior boxing skills & a height & reach advantage.

    I couldn't understand why she wasn't ducking low & attempting to make Holm lead so she could counter off one of Holm's shots.

    And that left hand hit her time after time. Beauty of a shot that had her doing a silly dance

    The bit where she went at her and ran into the barrier instead. Made her look a reyt dick

    She needed to take that fight downstairs, surely? But tried trading with Holm. Silly idea.

    Brutal to watch though.

    I'm guessing she won't now be fighting Mayweather...

    A proper ass whooping for her. Holm was connecting at will. Really poor fight from Rousey. Great kick to the neck/jaw area that toppled her.

    Had to chuckle when she windmilled in and ended up with a face full of cage.

    One massive career gone up in a puff of smoke. Be interesting to watch the re-building process.

    Not really, very few (if any) fighters have an unbeaten record in MMA. Paper, scissors, stone etc.

    She thought she was indestructible but discovered she's not. With her grappling skills if she takes any woman down she wins. Holm fought punch perfectly, if they do meet again I suspect Rousey will fight differently, if not she can expect the same outcome.

    I was thinking more in terms of her public image outside the ring. She's been doing a hell of a lot of publicity & personal appearances based on her "invincibility" recently so does she now have to work in tandem with Holm a la Benn/Eubank?
