Jon Jones: “In my opinion Holly Holm is already the greatest of all time of women combat sports.”

Holm pummelled Rousey repeatedly in the first round, with her standing game and quick hands proving impossible for the former champ to deal with. The second round began the same as the first, with Holm on the front foot battering Rousey as the world watched, stunned.
