#2 Holly Holm vs Ronda Rousey

Her first loss

Australia witnessed its third UFC pay-per-view and the first time women main-eventing the night when Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey collided for the Women's Bantamweight Championship in the Etihad Stadium at Melbourne. With someone of the stature of Ronda Rousey main-eventing the show, it became the most attended event in the history of the company.

Any random UFC fan would have predicted an easy win for Rousey, but various analysts had already pointed out that Rousey's weak defense and Holm's excellent discipline in the Octagon which could make this bout a closely contested one.

In the first round, despite pressurizing Holly, it was the former professional boxer who controlled the round from the distance. However, that wasn't what had caught everyone's eyes.

Rousey managed to lock-in her signature arm bar, but Holm slipped out of the hold and returned to her feet. For those who watch only pro-wrestling, it is equivalent to someone slipping out of the Hell's Gate. After the first round, Ronda was bloodied and breathing heavily; this was also clearly the first time when Ronda had lost a round.

However, the final nail in the coffin wasn't hit. A combination of some head kicks and punches knocked out Rousey cold and led to a KO loss. The "Streak" was over. Considering her amateur and career in other MMA promotions, it read 12-1!
