5 Moments That Made Ronda Rousey A UFC Legend (And 5 She Wishes We’d Forget)

6. Forget: The Holly Holm Kick

Losing to Holly Holm marked a significant turning point in Rousey's MMA career. After the fight, her air of invincibility was gone and she no longer seemed as passionate about the sport.

To make matters worse for the current WWE champ, the clip that shows Holm landing her iconic head-kick is used in almost every UFC highlight package. Any time there is a discussion about the greatest upsets or knockouts in MMA history, a clip showing Holm slamming her foot against Rousey's face is almost sure to follow.

If the UFC is still around 200 years from now, they will still probably be showing Holly Holm's famous head-kick.

The former bronze medalist had some amazing victories inside the Octagon. Unfortunately - for Rousey and her fans at least - it's this dark moment in her career that gets the most air time.
