"Holly Hold told FOX Sports just days out from her fight with Ronda Rousey that she visualized her victory hundreds of times and that it brought her to tears just thinking about it.
Those dreams became reality on Saturday night as she landed a thunderous left high kick that flattened Rousey just 59 seconds into the second round en route to becoming the new UFC women's bantamweight champion. As it turns out, Holm saw a lot of different ways she could have gotten past Rousey, but the head kick was definitely one of the weapons she knew she had available in her arsenal and it paid off in a big way. "I visualized that if the head kick was there to go for it," Holm said at the UFC 193 post-fight press conference. "We didn't want to go out of our way searching for it and force it. She comes straight forward and with your legs in the air with someone coming straight forward, you can be off balance, things like that so there's times to use them, times to not. If it was there I wanted to take it and it was there." " Click here for the story! |
