Agreed, and it shouldn't be that hard to promote Meisha's first defence, whether it be against Rousey, Holm or whoever, she is after all known from the rivalry with Rousey to the casual fan...
Holm frustrated by criticism of her manager
- Thread starter Wild
- Start date
After Holly defeated Ronda (Ronda beat herself) people started thinking she will crush every opponent but it won't happen she will be crushed by her future opponents because she is only good at counter striking . she is not aggressive , she can't wrestle , her judo is of 2 years old.. Miesha figured her out and she is done

who offered her the god damned fight? if it was such a stupid decision for her to take the fight then why was it offered you egghead?it was a no win situation for holly .if she turns it down then she is losing money sitting out waiting for ronda to be able to eat apples again and have travises babies
yes beat herself running in like a bull with no game plan whatsoever . Holly couldn't even finish an average fighter like Miesha and this just proves once again that Ronda beat herselfBeat... Herself...
That's a very ignorant statement.

If she was charging headfirst into a wall and knocked herself out i'd agree with you, but Holly Holm delivered that kick. You don't look up a fighter's record and have it say "Result: Loss, Opponent: Self".
it was not that head kick , it was those counter punches which made the difference.. I know you hate Ronda but you know it very well that Ronda fought the most stupidest fight ever. Ronda was never a boxer and when she knocked out Bethe she was throwing wild punches with no technique. She thought she could go in boxing and win but holly made her realize its a different ball game..
Holly is better boxer but Ronda is better mixed martial artist .
I agree with everything here until that last sentence. Holly took Ronda down and avoided Rousey's coup de grâce. Out grappled and out struck her.
LOL @ average fighter... the derp is strong in this statement...
Dead on. Holly got exposed in a big way against Miesha. Nobody is going to chase her around the octagon like Ronda did again. They're just going to be patient and wait for her to leave an opening so they can take her down because her ground skills are beginner level. One of the first things you learn is how to defend a basic choke and she looked completely lost as how to do it.
Do you seriously believe Holly is a better grappler than Ronda? Ronda was already hurt by the time she resorted to using her judo and grappling and Holly briefly took Ronda down out of desperation as well. It was more of a clinch that luckily resulted in a surprise takedown because Ronda wobbled her with a punch. Ronda is the best grappler in the division and it's not even close. Let's be serious about it.
Interestingly enough, the same can be said about Ronda. No one is going to be so stand still against her, but a lot more movement with almost basic striking.
Think those two's next fights will be very intriguing now that the "blueprints" are out there. Everyone improves and takes losses differently, should be fun, gents.
Ronda is by far, no doubt, the best grappler in the division, years upon years of experience ahead of Holly.
Just in their fight, Ronda got out grappled. It happens, even if it was very very limited.

What caused the KO again? Oh yeah, the head kick. Yes, Holly set up her kicks well with punches that fight. I don't see your point, and i'm over trying to.
I don't hate Ronda, please don't try to speak for me.
I don't think the "blueprint" is out on Ronda yet. She's still the most well rounded fighter in the division. She's obviously not on Holly's level of boxing with her footwork but no one is. The closest to her is Nunes but Holly still looks more polished. I don't think it's a stretch to say Ronda has the hardest punch in the division though and unless her opponent is on the level of a world class boxer who can use movement and footwork to avoid her punches, can knock anyone out. She had Holly hurt momentarily in their also with a punch.
It's easy to say all of Ronda's opponents will duplicate what Holly did but how many can actually do it? How many have championship boxing footwork and precise counter striking ability? I'll say only Holly. Like I said though, Nunes is close to Holly in her striking and movement and even though she gets forgotten by most people I think she has the skills to be the champion and beat anyone, provided she work on her cardio.
Ronda was hurt in the 1st round. That head kick was just icing on all her hater's cake.

Holm had her beat 4 rounds to 1 (be it a 10-8 round) until she got choked out. She is not done.
Does anyone know / has anyone heard or read anything concrete about either Rousey's return or her acting commitments?
