10 Finest Moments Of Respect Inside The Octagon
2. Holly Holm Refuses To Boast In Front Of The Fallen Baddest Woman (UFC 193)
When Holly Holm shocked the world and knocked out Ronda Rousey with a deliciously timed head kick in the second round of their now iconic Bantamweight title fight at UFC 193, a bit of a celebration was to be expected.
However, after catching the division's long time enforcer with such a devastating blow, Holm didn't immediately rub the upset victory in the fallen legend's face.
Instead, she circled the ring to the sound of a stunned Marvel Stadium and hugged her team. Then, crouching next to 'The Baddest Woman on the Planet' as she was assessed following the vicious knockout, Holm waited patiently for the moment she could embrace a woman who paved the way for her own success in the company.
Coming after she'd finally had her arm raised for the win, Holm hugged Rousey and the torch was respectfully passed onto the second ever women's UFC Bantamweight Champion.
Rousey had been conquered, but Holm was determined to honour the most influential woman in UFC history before she began to revel in her career-defining accomplishment and did so in a classy fashion.
