Ronda Rousey has faced some proper challenges in her MMA and professional wrestling career, but she wasn’t prepared for the Power Slap knockout she witnessed this weekend.
Footage from the competition shows Rousey covering her mouth in surprise after one contestant with a very interesting haircut delivered a KO with a powerful clout that immediately rendered his opponent unconscious.
The slap’s recipient fell forward into the table before dropping to the floor, causing Rousey to gasp.
