Holm beats Rousey!
- Thread starter Mafesto
- Start date
Ronda not only got beat. she got her A$$ handed to her as well as getting schooled in both rounds before a beautiful kick to the head put her on her back in grand fashion.. In true bully fashion she ran out of the ring without getting interviewed by Joe. Class act. What do they say you can tell the depth of a champion not by how graceful they win but how graceful they loose.
Interesting video clip on how Ronda, in a roundabout way, predicted her knock out a month ago:

I'm glad Ronda got beat as she was getting a little to cocky. And sounds like Holly deserved the win; meaning it wasn't some type of luck scenario.

Ronda was anything but patient as she mentioned in the video and at times looked silly as Holly beautifully moved around the cage and attacked from the outside Ronda range. You could tell that Ronda was getting frustrated and that usually spells disaster for any fighter. This fight was no fluke. There were a couple of moments that my group gasped as Ronda tied up holly and it looked like any second it would end in one of Ronda's infamous arm bars however Holly was able to stay cool and get to her feet. She even took Ronda down to the mat at one point but Holly quickly got back to her feet because she was having more success standing. This fight exposed a weakness in Ronda's game big time. It was hidden by Ronda's aggressive style of overwhelming her opponents and quickly getting them to the mat. I have a feeling the rematch will go the same way if Holly can stay on the outside and just strike and kick. The other women's fight on the card was also really good that ended in a decision.
Hadn't seen a new one of these in a long time.

It will be interested to see what UFC will do now. You are right Mafesto when you look at it from any angle. They will milk it for all its worth for sure. I think Miesha Tate is next in line for a title fight. I am guessing she will get a chance before Ronda has a chance for the rematch just to build up the hype. Scott you are right it was truly surprising to watch how Ronda was picked apart.
Great analogy from a buddy:
About time somebody figured out to move laterally, stop the charge with elbows/straight punches, and inside straight kicks. And how to defeat that garbage f*#$ing head and arm/judo hip throw bullsh*t that ONLY works with women. It never works with male fighters. It does work on the street with people who have no fight experience but for anyone with skills – total garbage…. Obviously few did it better than Rhonda but if you’re a UFC contender – it couldn’t have been that hard to see the game plan…. Making it work is a different story so I guess that’s why this is so cool. Holly stuck the game plan and made it work
