Writers note.... I am a new writer who was inspired to write a story by the Ronda Rousey vs Holly Holm fight. The emergence of Women's MMA is pretty much the greatest thing ever for me. I didn't think it could get better than when that muscled up Brazilian beast Cristiane Cyborg Justino pounded sexy big titted Gina Carano until she curled up into a pretty little ball in 2009. However ,since the UFC brought in the women I have become further obsessed by the intrigue, drama, and of course the fights. The bantamweight division is full of sexy women and it was turned on its head by what happened on November 14th when a 9 to 1 underdog, Holly Holm knocked out Ronda Rousey in a very noncompetitive fight. Seeing the arrogant Rousey being humbled like that must have been a turn on for many. It was for me. My fictional account is of what happens after the fight and the lead up to Holm vs Rousey II. Notice Holly's name it first now that she is champ. Please give me feedback as I would like to get better at this and write other fictionalized accounts of women's MMA. H.O.
PART 1 In the aftermath of Ronda's defeat to Holly, Dana was Ronda's rock and did everything he could to help her regain her confidence. Despite all of his encouragement telling her she could come back and defeat Holly, Ronda was shaken about what went down in Australia and told Dana that she was not sure she wanted to fight again. She could hardly open her mouth for weeks and the doctor warned her that she was lucky that her jaw was not broken. She had major roles in "Roadhouse" and "Mile 22" to film in 2016, nearly 10 million dollars in the bank, and no chance of retiring undefeated. In their visits, Ronda told Dana that other than knowing she was knocked out by a head kick in the 2nd round she has no memory of the fight and had not brought herself to watch it and refused to listen or read anything about what happened. White not only viewed Ronda as his biggest cash cow but as his friend and wanted her to regain the title more than he had ever wanted anything in his life. Dana began to plead Ronda's case on December 3, telling the media that Ronda had admitted she was exhausted leading up to the fight and giving her a credible excuse for the lopsided loss and promising a rematch. In the week leading up to the Nova v McGregor fight, Dana started to turn up the pressure on Ronda to attend the fight, speak to the media and begin her path back to the title.
Ronda was told of Conner coming to her defense after her defeat against Donald Trump and decided that December 12th in Vegas would be the perfect time and place to show the MMA world that she was back and support him. Despite the fact that she was still shaken by knowing millions of people had seen her get knocked out and she was not even sure how it had happened. Dana was ecstatic when Ronda told him she was coming to Vegas for UFC 194 and announced to the media that she would be there and a big announcement would be made. Ronda looked amazing the night of the fight, she wore a black and gold leopard custom made Versace dress and a pair of black strappy stiletto heels. With Travis by her side she made her way to the front row before the Rockhold v Weidman fight. She was prepared to hear the crowd make comments but she was in no way prepared for their reaction when they saw her on the big screen. The crowd already hyped up on alcohol and an especially bloody night of octagon violence let her have it with a thunderous roar of Boos, laughter, and "You got knock the fuck outs".
Although she began trembling with anger and anxiety she held it together until the announcer began the intros of Weidman and Rockhold that diverted the crowd's attention. The "All American Brazilian Killer defeated Rockhold in the 3rd round by way of TKO strikes in a highly competitive fight. After the fight, Ronda heard the crowd break out in another roar and glanced up at the big screen to see Holly making her way to her seat with the belt slung over her ripped muscular shoulder. Holly was dressed casual in jeans and a tight black Tshirt that gave her a masculine appearance. "Wow, that is one ugly bitch" Ronda whispered in Travis's ear. Seeing Holly with "her" belt sent Ronda into a fit of internal rage as she continued to flash her pretty smile for the camera. She knew that Holly may have beaten her, might have a better body, but when it came to the pretty face and beautiful smile she was the victor. This gave her confidence in this trying moment. That confidence did not last long though as she saw the crowd reacting to what was being shown on the big screen. Someone at the arena defied Dana's strict orders and was replaying Rousey v Holm before Nova v McGregor began. Travis quickly told her not to watch but she was transfixed. Knowing you were knocked out is one thing, seeing it in the way Ronda did was another. It was no lie that she was exhausted and had no plan B if she could not get Holly to the ground and armbar her going into the fight. But what Ronda saw on that screen told her something else, even at her 100% best , Holly was a different level athlete that she may NEVER be able to beat, even at her absolute best. Seeing herself taking what she counted as 7 devastating straight lefts to her face was surreal and gave her a lump right in her chest. She had been under the misconception that Holly had came out in the 2nd round and caught her with a "lucky" kick. Seeing that she was on queer street from the elbow she took to the face in the first round and she never regained lucidness was the real truth. Travis bent down and whispered in her ear and ask if she was ok. "No, I am not ok" she whispered back, "that ugly blonde bitch is too good." She made up her mind right there that she would indeed make an announcement in the post fight news conference, just not the one Dana was hoping for.
