I was too scared to take a photo, I'm saying fookin nuttin to his face...
Holly Holm
She was poised to be the future of WMMA after making the poster girl look silly-
But since that she is just 1-4 with her only win against Bethe Correia.

Vera was supposed to be the first to hold the lthw and hw straps at the same time and that shit didn’t work out at all.
Brandon Vera Fired by UFC Following 16-Fight Stint With Promotion
He’s doing well in ONE now but I think he may have a bit of chemical help.

I forget which fight that was....but his nose got "Rich Franklin'd"

That was one of the worst broken noses in mma that I can think of
And yeah, Mexican supplements!
He's still fucking people up.. The Suplex Machine is far from over.Khabib’s friend, Rustam Khabilov
When swarm of Dagestanis came to the UFC, Rustam caught my attention more than Khabib.
Rustam was good friends of Khabib and also trained by Khabib’s dad before coming to the US, but they split up once they got here, Khabib to Aka and Rustam to Jackson’s.
That fight where Rustam Ko suplexed his opponent is the only fight I remember, he disppeared and nobody cares
fuckin up who though?
last legit opponent was Benson, he does have a noticeable win over Masvidal and Yancy Mediros
Posted Holm but not Ronda, arguably the biggest hype train in the UFC? lolHolly Holm

Thiago Silva.
Vera was turtled up and Silva was on his back open-hand slapping him.
And yeah, that was the worst broken nose I'd seen since Anderson beat Rich Franklin the first time.
Ronda was certainly a massive hype train, but she was backing it up for a while before Holm kicked the wax out of her ears. Even though she defended her belt for a while, Ronda derailed hard!
That's right, I remember that now. I think that's the fight result that got overturned as well when Thiago's drug test came back as "flammable".
Thiago kind of derailed his own train too, starting with the suspension.
lol k. Go back to wiki.
compared to his hype, he's not really living up to it.
When they arrived in America, him and Khabib were on the same boat.
look at Khabib and look at him. looks derailed to me
Did you watch the Holly/Miesha and Holly/GDR fights, or nah?
I'm not one to say "Well, really so and so should have won this fight." but Holly didn't look outmatched by any stretch in either of those fights. In the case of the Miesha fight she beat the shit out of her for 22 minutes before Miesha caught her in the choke. In the GDR fight it was a close fight where the eventual winner should have had multiple points deducted for shots after the bell. She's been much, much better than her 1-4 record indicates.
Oh ok yeah i sure did watch those.
And i agree completely.
She had both those fights in the bag but didn't have that bit more she needed in the Miesha fight.
And got Cheated (late elbows) in the GDR fight.
Im sorry i didn't answer right away as i thought i might be baited into a "you don't know what your talking about" discussion.
I by no means know much.
Just saw how in the Ronda absence
Holly was being pushed to the forefront.
Maybe too quicky.
Its true. Now her record does not reflect her as a fighter. She has much more to offer i think.
At the end of i think she might be stronger because of those losses.
