Who said what about Holm's Rousey KO

Holly Holm created history as she knocked out UFC pin-up girl Ronda Rousey.

HOW THE MMA WORLD REACTED TO HOLLY HOLM KO'ING RONDA ROUSEY

UFC boss Dana White: "Obviously she was completely depressed."

"The fight went down the way that I thought the fight would go down. I thought Ronda would have more answers."

"She's the mentally strongest person that I've ever met. She's a workhorse. She eats stress. She's unlike anybody I've ever met so I mean if anybody could ever deal with it, it's her. But at the end of the day, Ronda Rousey's human."

New champion Holly Holm: "I don't know, I'm trying to take it all in. This is crazy!"

"Getting in here, I just felt so much support I thought, How can I not do this with all this support? I had the best coaching, from standup to grappling to wrestling."

Previously mooted No.1 contender Julianna Pena: Honda - Tyson

Holm - Douglas

Pea - Holyfield

Chief Rousey-hater and rival Cris Cyborg: :)

Vanquished foe Miesha Tate: "If there is 1 thing I agree with Ronda ever said was the kind of Champion @_HOLLYHOLM makes, a damn good one! #Congrats #LetsSetItUp RT @ufc"

Holm training partner and former champ Jon Jones: "Because you can @_HOLLYHOLM"

Former world champion boxer Lennox Lewis"

"@RondaRousey How you respond to defeat is even more important then how you respond to victory. #UFC193 #Lennoxism"

Rousey's trainer Edmond Tarverdyan: "I'm just staying strong now next to Ronda. There are no words I can say right now how I feel. It's just, gotta be strong next to Ronda. That's how I feel."

Holm's coach Mike Winkeljohn: "Ronda is an emotional fighter and she has overwhelmed people with that pressure sometimes and it's worked for her in the past."

"It's just Holly is at another level when it comes to intellect."
