UFC 193: Albuquerque Reacts to Holly Holm's KO of Ronda Rousey

If you thought the crowd reaction was amazing when Holly Holm lambasted Ronda Rousey at UFC 193 you haven't seen anything yet.

Holm's hometown fans exploded in cheers when they saw Holm dropped the seemingly invincible champion to the canvas. Their favorite daughter knocked off the unbeatable and would be bringing gold back home.

Duane Finley went to Albuquerque and captured the video at a local watering hole at the moment of the knockout.

There may not be enough superlatives to capture how remarkable the achievement was for Holm. She dominated Rousey. She didn't clip her nor was she involved in a back-and-forth battle. Holm took the strap from Rousey in equally dominant fashion that Rousey did so over three years ago in Strikeforce.

Holm took Rousey out of the fight immediately. She hurt her with hard straight lefts, and Rousey seemed befuddled. And what should not be left out in the reflection of the knockout is that Rousey did take Holm down, but Holm defended the armbar and got back to her feet.

Holm's footwork caused Rousey to whiff multiple times, including one time sending Rousey to her knee as she missed hard on her entry. Rousey's lip was busted open, and she was visibly gassed after just one round of chasing Holm. The second round was academic.

Holm completed the upset with her now famous KO and perhaps even more violent hammerfists to a flattened Rousey.

The folks in the ABQ are likely still partying right now, and they'll probably still be going strong when Holm sets foot back in town with the shiny gold belt. She was the pride of Albuquerque before, and now she may transcend to something greater after the biggest upset in UFC history.
