MELBOURNE, Australia — Members of Holly Holm’s support team won a "six figure" sum by betting on their fighter defeating Ronda Rousey at UFC 193.

Holm stunned Rousey with a second-round knockout in the main event at Etihad Stadium, an upset described as the greatest in UFC history.

With Las Vegas bookies offering odds of 10-1 and above for a Holm victory, several members of her camp pooled their resources together to place a wager, according to her manager Lenny Fresquez.

"I am sorry Vegas. You shouldn't have put the odds so high," Fresquez told USA TODAY Sports, while admitting that the sum exceeded six figures. "It was couple of our team members. We had a good pot together so it was nice. I wish I would have (placed) more money."

Rousey had won each of her 12 fights in mixed martial arts with consummate ease and was expected to comfortably beat former world boxing champion Holm, who was appearing in the UFC for only the third time.

However, Holm’s tight-knit group never questioned her ability to shock the MMA world.

"None of the team ever even had a doubt," Fresquez said. "Not a person in the camp had a doubt Holly would win this fight. There was never any negativity from inside the camp. She has a great team."
