Following her shocking loss on the UFC 193 fight last Saturday is an even more shocking revelation: Ronda Rousey predicted the exact way she would lose to opponent Holly Holm.
Last month, the 28-year-old MMA fighter talked about the much awaited fight between her and Holm on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.' She told Fallon, "She's undefeated and an amazing athlete and I think the biggest threat, definitely, to me, especially on paper and stylistically," Rousey told Jimmy Fallon. "She's the type of fighter that you have to be very, very patient with. I feel like she's gonna try and like, keep distance and keep far away from me and get me frustrated until a point I'll make a mistake and she can try and kick me in the head." Then she adds, "But it's not gonna go like that."
She clearly made a very precise assessment except for her last statement. 34-year-old Holm was able to knockout Rousey with a swift and hard kick, which stunned hundreds of UFC fans all over the world.
Holm said she had also visualized the controversial fight, and told Fox Sports that it actually brought her to tears just thinking about it. In the UFC post-fight conference she stated, "I visualized that if the head kick was there to go for it."
After losing her Bantamweight championship title, 'Rowdy' was brought straight to the hospital, and she was not able to join the post conference to talk about her loss. But just a day after her defeat, the UFC fighter posted an update on her Instagram saying, "I just wanted to thank everyone for the love and support. I appreciate the concerns about my health, but I'm fine. As I had mentioned before, I'm going to take a little bit of time, but I'll be back."
