Rousey faced Holly Holm in her penultimate fight at UFC 193 on November 15, 2015.Despite being a heavy betting favorite, Rousey was unable to get Holm to the ground and had no answer for Holm’s superior striking. Early in the second round, Holm knocked Rousey out with a high kick to the neck, ending Rousey’s three-year reign as champion.

She was also medically suspended by UFC on November 18, 2015, which included a no-contact suspension for 45-days, and no fights for 60-days, and would have to depend on CT scan results to have the suspension reduced.She was medically cleared on December 9, 2015.

In her final fight,Rousey faced current champion Amanda Nunes on December 30, 2016, in the main event at UFC 207.She lost the fight via TKO due to punches at just 48 seconds into the first round,which seems to have further led her to the decision of signing with the WWE.
