Holly Holm stunned the sporting world knocking out Ronda Rousey to hand the UFC superstar her first-ever defeat.
Holm landed a brutal kick to the head to knock Rousey down in round two, before following that up with some ground punches to stop her opponent after 59 seconds in front of a shocked Etihad Stadium in Melbourne.
It was the first loss of Rousey’s MMA career, who had previously won her last three fights in a combined 64 seconds and was a massive favourite heading into the bout.
“A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into the build-up of this but it was sure worth it.”
Former boxing world champion Holm has now become the first person to ever win world titles in both boxing and mixed martial arts.
The 34-year-old now has a record of 10-0, with seven of those victories coming by knockout.
