Check out the highlights from the UFC 193 post-fight press conference.
Holly Holm knocked out Ronda Rousey in a 2nd-round shocker to take UFC bantamweight title.
Holly was a huge underdog coming into this title fight. She talked about how she had days full of self doubt leading up to the fight:
She’s (Rousey) been the most dominant athlete. There were days where I was at the gym, didn’t perform well. Sat in my car, upset, cried and said to myself, “If I perform like that, that’s not going to get me a win, So I need to come back tonight, have to perfect those things, and have to get better.” There are moments in your mind where you doubt yourself but these kind of the ones where a loss can be devastating but a win can be that sweet of a victory.
I couldn’t tell how many times I cried in the gym. There’s moments in your mind when you doubt yourself. You know things can happen. You know that you can have a good night and you can have a bad night. There’s days in training where everything flows, and days where they don’t. You just pray that that doesn’t happen on the night of the fight.
