Ronda Rousey vs Holly Holm, UFC 193
Ronda Rousey became the biggest superstar of women’s MMA for her constant dominance with 12 straight wins and she was pretty confident about defeating Holly Holm, too. The duo came up with a huge rivalry since the match got announced and finally concluded it inside the octagon.

No wonder, Ronda entered the octagon as ‘match favourite’ with her UFC bantamweight title but things changed solely when the match ended. Holly Holm, on the other hand, is known for her striking and kickboxing abilities and it was actually a battle of two fierce women with different abilities. Ronda Rousey was determined to take over Holly and didn't even touch her gloves before the match. The duo engaged in a sparring session in the first-round but Holly Holm got a taste of UFC gold in the second round. To everyone’s shock, Holly Holm landed a perfect head kick on Rousey which knocked out the champion cold.
