UFC 193: Rousey vs. Holm was a mixed martial arts event held on November 14, 2015,[1] at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia.

However, the bout was removed from the event after Lawler suffered a thumb injury stemming back from his high school wrestling career.

Co-featured at the event was a UFC Women's Strawweight Championship bout between current champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk and Valérie Létourneau.

[8] Brazilian fighters William Macario and Ricardo Abreu were expected to face Brendan O'Reilly and Daniel Kelly respectively at the event.

However, both fighters pulled out of their bouts in late September citing injury and were replaced by James Moontasri and Steve Montgomery.

[9][10] In turn, O'Reilly pulled out of his bout on 6 November citing an injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Anton Zafir.

Holly Holm, with her boxing ability, and from her southpaw stance, tagged Rousey repeatedly with her left hand while controlling the distance.

[14][15] Round two followed a similar pattern to the first, with Rousey trying to close the distance but being unable to, frustrated by Holm's stick and move strategy.

[20] In a rematch of heavyweights, Mark Hunt finished Antônio Silva via TKO in round one with a right straight that knocked him to his knees and a follow-up left hook.

[21] Kyle Noke defeated Peter Sobotta via TKO in round one of their welterweight bout with a front kick and a flurry of follow up punches.
