And not just any beating. The beating. Holly Holm, the former boxing and kickboxing world champion, kicked “Rowdy” so hard in the head it only took a matter of seconds before social media was blasted with snarky memes and brutal images of Rousey’s bloodied face.

Even Rousey’s two biggest rivals, Miesha Tate and Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino, got in the mix, reveling in Rousey’s misery.

But as one old, washed-up fictional boxer once said: “It ain’t about how hard you can hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.”

Rousey has her hands full coming back from Saturday night and the memories of Holly Holm, but she has always appeared as one of the more mentally tough fighters in any weight class.

In fact, the former champ took to social media on Sunday night to let everybody know that, yes, she got hit, but rest assured, she’ll be moving forward as a professional fighter.
