she ate punches in the 1st round. Ate them. This was a kick boxer...and a boxing champ. How did she think it would be a good idea to go crazy up top. She shouldve taken the game to the ground. Too bad. Rising star...phenom label...ALL gone. We often make fun of Floyd picking and choosing his fights...but he is in the ring for 12 rounds and he is 49-0. He had a strategy for each and every fighter. Ronda clearly overlooked Holm who essentially destroyed her in the first round, and finished her off in the 2nd.
Rogan is always enthusiastic, you're right. It just sounded like he was trying to convince the audience that Holms winning was a good thing. Purist don't have to be convinced. Holms may look the part be she doesn't move the needle at all. Casual fans (like myself) know who Rondo is. 90% of the population just went to Wikipedia to find out who this chick is. Are we going to see Holms on mags and in movies? doubt it.
Finally someone beats that overrated scrub. She's the Brock lesnar of the women's division. Dominates weak competition and has weak sub par striking. Dana white must be pissed her cash cow lost got KOed.
Kept walking into punches. Best part is when she struck and totally missed and ran into the cage. Assuming Tate get's the next shot.
You're probably right. Holly Holms doesn't have gimmicks and she fights like a boxer, which doesn't really fit in UFC. Also, I'm not sure Holms will get THIS amp'd up about other fighters so her fights going forward might be boring. If Holly can electrify people in her upcoming fights like the way she did tonight, it won't be hard to forget about Rousey.
Damn I knew I should have went against Rhonda... But I hate UFC fam culture anytime there is a dominant fighter as soon as they lose everybody ****s on them. Nobody is unbeatable and anything can happen in a fight.
She got her ass handed to her on a silver platter. Her face was all bloody after round one. Then got knocked the hell out in round two. She didn't even stand a chance.... Lolol
That was utter domination. Holm is so gracious in her victory interview too. Very impressed with her.
