When Holly Holm shocked the world by dominating Ronda Rousey en route to a devastating second round head-kick knockout to become the new undefeated UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion, there was no place in the world that had a higher excitement level than Holm’s hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Freelance MMA writer Duane Finley posted the following video on his official Twitter page that shows the reaction to Holm’s knockout of Rousey at a local sports bar in Holm’s hometown of Albuquerque.
Yes, that is Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone celebrating in the cowboy hat.
The video has taken off online after being shown on ESPN SportsCenter after the fight on Saturday night. Holm will no doubt have heroes welcome waiting for her when the newest Jackson-Winkeljohn champion makes her way back to the A-B-Q.
