One of the biggest upsets in UFC history.

Ronda Rousey was supposed to cement her reputation as the UFC’s leading female fighter at UFC 193 in Melbourne last night, but her opponent, Holly Holm, had other ideas.

Holm, who had an unblemished 9-0 record going into the fight, became the new UFC bantamweight champion after flooring Rousey with a vicious kick to the head during the second round.

Holm moved in for the kill after Rousey fell to the floor but the referee intervened and stopped the fight immediately as the 34-year old celebrated one of the momentous victories in the history of the sport.
