It'll be Hunt vs Arlovski next. I can see Arlovski getting his head knocked out of the cage.

It will be a pity if it means the fight with Rumble is off. Although I’d have Jones as favourite against pretty much anyone these days, there’s a reasonable chance that Rumble could’ve knocked him the fook out.

Jones stripped of the title and suspended indefinitely. Now Cormier vs Rumble for vacant title on May 23.

Good move from the UFC but damn I kinda wanted to see if Rumble could knock Bones out.

Yep I wanted to see it too, but Jones clearly has problems and needs to sort his shit out.

Still buying UFC 187, great card even without Jones.

I'm glad something was done. UFC needed to show strength and prove that just because your a champ doesn't mean you get special treatment.

Still would have lived to have seen the match though...

Nothing against Rousey but her striking game is average at best. Should have played to her strengths. Plus Holm looked fitter and match ready. Will be a great rematch

It was like reliving the first bout between Rocky vs Clubber Lang. Rousey was all high and mighty surrounded by yes men, public training session in front of crowds. Even at the weigh in despite weighing the same as Holm she just didn't look fit and ready.

I know Dana has said that Rousey will have an immediate rematch but do you think she’ll even want that?

My bet above was for a double chance KO or on points – my thinking was that if Holm could survive the initial bull rush then she’d be able to stay on the outside and slowly pick Rousey apart. Turns out she did way better than that. This wasn’t a Serra / GSP type lucky punch or anything – she got schooled. A lot of people are saying Rousey was exposed and it seems her striking at least was. So if they have a rematch how would Rousey do it any different? If she can’t rush and get her down then she’ll need to be patient, stay on the outside and setup takedowns with her technical striking and footwork. Yeah right. I think that plays even more into Holm’s game.

I'm no professional fighter or trainer but you'd think given how often Holm tagged Rousey in the first that Rousey might not continue to charge like a wounded bull in the second.

Polar opposites in terms of coaching in that fight -

Holm's coaches (who are also John Jones' coaches) drilled her on exactly what to expect from Rousey and she was so well prepared you could see it through the entire fight. She had a counter for everything Rousey did.

On the other hand, Rousey was coached to run her head into Holm's fist, and then between rounds her idiot coach told her (after she was decisively outperformed in Round 1) she was fighting beautifully.

Holm also got into her head at the weigh-in, when she put her fist into Rousey's face. This sort of shit is why you watch MMA, for when crazy shit goes down that you didn't expect.

The better fighter won. I have no idea why she tried to stand up and bang with Holly.

Showing the EA UFC cover before the fight was ridiculous. Why would I buy a game with someone who got knocked out on the cover. I can see them slapping Connor on the cover, showing it before his fight and Aldo winning... Dickheads the lot of them.

It's the Madden curse, hasn't hurt sales of that franchise.

Rousey arrives home hiding the damage. Apparently she's undergone plastic surgery.
