the defeat of Ronda Rousey for Holly holm, at UFC 193, was so remarkable that the result of the fight still resonates, even more than a week after its conclusion. Furthermore, even those who rarely give their opinion publicly made a point of speaking out. This is the case of Bruce Buffer, announcer official of Ultimate and who gave his vision for the biggest surprise in MMA in recent times.

For him, the excess of commitments of the now former champion of the women's bantamweight division was an important factor in the course of the fight, which could change drastically if Ronda could be fully focused on the fight itself.

“Ronda has fought three times this year, made two films, if I'm not mistaken, has two more lined up and has done a lot of publicity in the last few months since her book was released. This girl had no peace. I think this would affect everyone, because you're not focused on work like you should be if you only had that to do. She is an incredible talent, so I have no doubts about her. I support her and I think she will come back as an incredible monster. I'm sure if she can take some time off, go to the gym and train for three months to fight with Holly holm, without distractions, I don't even want to imagine which Ronda Rousey would appear. We are talking about the top of the food chain. An incredible Olympic athlete”, declared Buffer, in an interview with the North American website “TMZ”.

In the main fight of UFC 193, in Melbourne, Australia, Ronda was largely dominated by Holm, which culminated in an overwhelming knockout in the second round, with a high kick to the head. It appears that the UFC is expected to hold a rematch immediately afterwards, although no plans have been officially confirmed.
