Coming out of UFC 193 back in November of 2015, the talk of the town was the overnight change in opinion people seemed to have after seeing the seemingly invincible Ronda Rousey not only get served her first taste of defeat, but dominated by Holly Holm in the Melbourne, Australia-hosted pay-per-view event.
So, what was the reaction to Rousey losing even faster, and again in devastating fashion, to the reigning queen of the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion, Amanda “The Lioness” Nunes, at Friday night’s UFC 207: Nunes vs. Rousey event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Below are some of the reactions from UFC fighters on Twitter as soon as Nunes TKO’d Rousey at the 0:48 mark of the opening round of their main event title fight at UFC 207 on Friday evening.

This should teach the UFC to quit hyping up these Mfers that don't put in the heart and work. Sage, Paige, Ronda. Promote some real mfers.
