Alright, I'd like to hark back to Ronda Rousey's fight against Holly Holm at UFC 193 here. Although Holm's shocking KO win over Rousey was the talk of the town after the fight, several experts noted that Rousey did catch the former professional boxing world champion with a beautiful left hook while getting out of a clinch exchange.

To be honest, what really went wrong for Rousey at UFC 193, is that her footwork wasn't even close to that of Holm's. In fact, it's quite possible that Rousey's KO power is greater than that of Holm – However, you can't knock out what you can't touch!

Rousey simply failed to touch Holm with any meaningful strike in their fight, and on the odd occasion that she did (like the left hook mentioned above), she rocked back Holm's head. Rousey's left hook has always been slow, but its power is unquestionable nonetheless...
