WATCH: Ronda Rousey hit herself in the face with Holly Holm’s fist during intense staredown

Stop hitting yourself

Ronda Rousey appears to be really rattled by what happened during her staredown with Holly Holm on Friday.

The two warriors are scheduled to throw down in the main event of UFC 193 in Melbourne in the wee hours of Sunday morning, and things got very heated at their pre-fight staredown.

After they were separated by Dana White, Rousey accused Holm of “putting a fist on her face” and maintained that she was the one who touched her.

However, this video takes a closer look at the incident and appears to show a different story.

It looks like Ronda tried putting her fist on Holly’s face, which prompted Holly to go inside Ronda’s hand, which annoyed the champion. Ronda then used her overhook to to try to shrug off Holly’s hand and by ding so, caused it to connect with her face.

Whatever happened, Rousey seems to be incredibly pissed off about it. She uploaded a video of the staredown on Instagram with a very angry rant against the challenger as the caption.
