Holm (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) knocked out Rousey (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) in the second round in the headliner of Saturday’s UFC 193, which took place at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia. UFC President Dana White confirmed Rousey’s hospitalization at the post-event news conference. “She was transported because she got knocked out,” White told MMAjunkie. “Then her lip was split in half, so they had to sew her lip.” The UFC president said Rousey was “completely bummed out” after the two talked post-fight at the 70,000-seat Etihad Stadium, where the promotion broke a live attendance record with 56,214 and did live gate of $9.53 million Australian dollars ($6.8 million US). Holm picked up dual $50,000 bonuses for “Fight of the Night” and “Performance of the Night” in addition to pulling off perhaps the biggest upset in UFC history.
