With Anthony Johnson’s recent win over Ryan Bader this past weekend in New Jersey at UFC on FOX 18, he likely has earned himself a title shot at the winner of Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier II later this year.

Going into UFC 193 Holly Holm had the full support of the boxing community. Holm vs. Rousey was expected to be a classic style vs. style matchup that saw Rousey attempting to take the fight to the ground while Holm attempted to keep it standing. Instead Rousey came out looking to strike with Holm, which surprised many given Holm’s decorated past as a boxer and kickboxer. An early cross left Rousey wobbled and threw her off for the remainder of the fight while Holm put on a striking clinic. In addition, Holm even managed to land a takedown of her own on Rousey.
