Not gonna lie – was pretty nervous Holm would injure Carano in this one. But alas, both women live to fight another day, and Holm adds another high-level name to her high-level KO reel. Great fight with great slugging and I think both women were badly, badly hurt at at least one point or another. I dig it, the fans dig it, the pervs, well, we’ll not mention what they’re doing right now...
