Holly Holm Credits Her Coaches After Upset Win--And It's Not Hard To See Why [VIDEO]

Holly Holm did the unbelievable Saturday night and defeated Ronda Rousey in dominant fashion with a knockout in the second round. Afterwards she gave credit where it was due--to her coaches. Not that she doesn't deserve plenty of the credit herself for forcing Ronda to fight her fight, but her coaches helped her figure out how to do it.

How else do you explain her being able to escape Rousey so easily here?

This is what she had to say about her coaches:

“I’m trying to take it in, but it’s crazy,” Holm said. “Getting in here, I had so much love and support. I felt like, how can I not do this with all that love. I had the best coaching, from standup to grappling to wrestling.

“Everything that we worked on presented itself in the fight. I haven’t spent this much time in the gym in my life. Everything we worked on happened tonight.”

However she did it--wow, what a fight! Congratulations to the new champ!
