Stand up if you predicted Holly Holm would not just upset Ronda Rousey, but knock her out in dominant fashion. Donte' Stallworth didn't. Katie Hnida might have. We rounded up the best reactions from one of the biggest upsets in UFC history.
1. Credit where credit is due
CM Punk didn't hesitate to give Holm credit for such a historic win.
Historic performance from @_HOLLYHOLM congrats to the new champion @ufc #UFC193
— Coach (@CMPunk) November 15, 20152. Wait, what?!
Former NFL wide receiver Donte' Stallworth couldn't believe it. Don't tell him it's true.
Wait! Wait one GD minute!!! @RondaRousey did not lose tonight!? Did she? Tell me it's not true 😫🙈
— Donté Stallworth (@DonteStallworth) November 15, 20153. Albuquerque represent
Holm is a New Mexico native. Katie Hnida went to the University of New Mexico. Enough said.
So great seeing all the #ABQ love for Holly, before & after match. ABQ knows how to take care of their own! #505 ♡ https://t.co/QdhhO3ez4z
— Katie Hnida (@KatieHnida) November 15, 20154. Flipping out
Olympic boxer Claressa Shields was just as surprised as anyone, but she knows exactly how to celebrate a momentous win.
And she hits a back flip! Congrats @_HOLLYHOLM !!!!!! pic.twitter.com/crTtXUeBru
— ClaressaT-rexShields (@Claressashields) November 15, 20155. Congrats, twin!
Holm looks like a certain comedian who has her own show and is one of the funniest people on the planet. So it is easy to get them confused.
Thanks everyone for congratulating me on my win #ufc
— Amy Schumer (@amyschumer) November 15, 20156. The question...
Robert Flores had a simple question: Will someone Photoshop the photo of crying Michael Jordan onto Rousey's face?
Is someone going to put the Jordan crying face on Rousey?
#UFC193
— Robert Flores (@RoFloESPN) November 15, 20157. The answer...
Yes.
The internet keeps getting faster, soon the crying Jordan will be on live RT @Sneakerholics: Yall got no chill 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/cAEYDVc0PU
— Amin Elhassan (@AminESPN) November 15, 20158. Denial?
Demi Lovato doesn't care that Rousey lost. But one thing is certain: If there's a rematch in the U.S., Lovato's there.
Whatevs.. I'm still #TeamRousey 💗💪🏼👊🏼 #UFC193
— Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) November 15, 20159. Someone's happy
Cris "Cyborg" Justino didn't need any words to express her feelings once she saw the knockout.
