Joe Rogan, speaking on his podcast with Aaron Rodgers, discussed the moment when Holly Holm stood victorious over the ‘Rowdy’ Ronda Rousey. Speaking on his podcast, both of them discussed the fight between Holm and Rousey that took place at UFC 193 in Melbourne, Australia.

While claiming Leon Edward’s head kick as perfect, Rogan placed Holly Holm’s head kick against Ronda Rousey as a close second. He said, “You could Holly Holm vs Ronda Rousey but Holly Holm was winning that fight. It’s a totally different experience. Holly Holm was avoiding Ronda. She avoided the clinch, she avoided the takedowns, she was dominating on the feet.”

He continued, “Ronda was already beaten up by the time Holly landed a head kick. Ronda was getting f*cked up.” Rodgers then stated, “That was a rough night for Ronda Rousey fans.” While Rogan stated, it was a great one for Holly Holm fans.
