I really like Holly Holm...not because she beat the shit outta Ronda, but because she's humble. Now where are all of these celebrities hyping up Rousy? She'll now see how shady everyone is...
+Tits plz put the full story cus that's completely true after n bunch of times of her ignoring the question she finally answered n she put it as in boxing no chance she knows he would win in a ufc match she would a far better chance then him because that's her home
Ronda didn't even tap gloves with Holly? Holly Tap Ronda instead ! Ronda Rosey finally fought sombody ! Amateur hour has finally ending with a Knockout !Seeing Ronda Rosey get Knockout is the single greatest thing to happen in the UFC women's division
yeah I would have rooted for her but setiously, the weigh in scrap and the tapping was pretty lame of her even though I'm sure she did it for the attention for the fight. you look really stupid when you try to come off all badass then get your as kicked
+Jonathan rubin and that is why Lesnar said Vince is better than Dana in the industry! Dana should've lined up easy fights for Rousey and made her his Super Cena! xD
+TiggahG That's why real fans love the sport though. Back in the Tito Ortiz days they'd line up butter fights, now they actually make the divions truly competitive. There's really only a few names that get skipped for easier fights these days. Lombard and Romero come to mind
I don't think Ronda deserves a rematch right away. She was fighting like an amateur and her stand up game was exposed. She's not ready yet and if she gets back in there she will get hurt really fucking bad. Don't believe me look at Holly Holm's highlights and then try to tell me that Ronda stood a chance on the feet.
Rhonda got her dome flown the the fuck off lmao,,dont try and box with a multidividonal worl class boxer,,haha haha in my Michael jackson thriller video voice
***** dude calm down jeeezz i didnt even say anything bad to ya. Was just checking on your well being. Seems your really hurt and upset. I will pray for you
So when is Ronda gonna come and face the music? She has an awful lot to say when she wins a fight. You can't just run and hide when it doesn't go your way.
Holly Homes..from last sacrificial offering to Rousey's world of fame to first person in history (man or woman) undisputed champion in both boxing and UFC
+Robert Hall Ufc Champion , not MMA champion chump , that could mean strike force or some shitty show . She held Multiple Boxing Titles . Stop being a geek you momo!
+MrZulujack "Duuurrrr she has ufc belt so she ufc champion" thats you. boxing has tiers too its not one unified belt for one sport. so yes she is the top tier champ for boxing and MMA notice how i use the name of the sport not the organization's
Considering her skill and her record, it's amazing how humble and sincere this woman is. She is the epitome of good sportsmanship. Ronda Rousey is the exact opposite. She lost to a true sportsman and she deserves every bit of criticism she is taking all over the web. It's been a full day and Rousey still doesn't have the courage or character to congratulate Holm for her well earned victory. If Rousey does take the rematch, she will see that it's delayed for at least a full year hoping that Holm's age will catch up with her while Rousey is still in her prime. It won't work. Holm will win the rematch by KO or TKO. In the meantime, MMA needs less trash talking, less hype, fewer big egos, fewer hamburger commercials and more true sportsman like Holly Holm.
I know right.. it was a dominant win. Ronda needs atleast 2 years to work on her stand-up, and even then it would be just so she could get it to the clinch. she'll never beat Holly in a stand-up fight.
+Jay H With rumours flying around that ronda could take a long break, i just hope dana white does not make holly wait until ronda returns before giving her action in the octagon. I'd personally hope dana makes holly fight either miesha tate or cat zingano before the ronda rematch
Exactly. I was surprised to see how bad her boxing skills were. Hands down, wild punches, trying the same takedown. I wonder if her coaches ever taught her double leg takedowns or any leg locks.....smh
Holm is smart. She know ronda's boxing is nowhere near her's but still says ronda is one of the dominant athletes in women's mma and deserves a rematch. Holm is ready to kick ronda's ass one more time but more brutal way
She has to say that but in reality Ronda doesnt deserve jack shit. The fight wasnt even CLOSE. Even TJ vs Barao didnt happen until after Barao had another fight.
+Diavolo222 because Barao didn't make weight, so Joe Soto in his UFC debut, on 2 days notice took his place. bud, anyone to defend the belt more than twice is always given a rematch if you haven't noticed. Ronda's the reason the women's divisions even began lol. Pretty sure just on that merit alone she gets a rematch. Regardless the outcome.
Right, fight wasnt even close. Bottom line is that fools are holding on to all that dominate athelete hype and still feel she'll wipe the floor with Holms which is bullshit in my opinion.
In absolutely no way, shape or form does Rousey merit a rematch. She was completely dominated by Holm, who is clearly a far superior fighter. In any case, Rousey should have to fight Cyborg first. If she manages to win that one (highly doubtful) then she will have earned the privilege of Holm once again repeatedly smashing her fat moon face.
Rematch is good. I also wouldn't mind seeing Ronda go through one challenger before too, since she absolutely got TOOLED by Holly this fight. Holly didn't win by "puncher's chance", she straight up dismantled Rousey for 6 minutes and brutally knocked her the fuck out
+1analist he said it because he was being humble.. he thinks he's the best. but if he says anything bad about a woman he knows the media will destroy him so he says he's on par with ronda. but he deep down inside knows the truth that he can own ronda easily
Funny how Ronda gets the privilege of a rematch, if the story was different and she won, I highly doubt she'd give Holly any second chances and just go on with being the "number one fighter"
As much of a supporter of Ronda Rousey that I am........I can't bring myself to dislike.......or speak disrespectfully of Holly Holm, in any fashion. She appears to be an exceptionally humble person.......a total CLASS ACT. Instead of disliking this woman......I find myself as a fan. I wish her the best.
I know that Dana feels like hes lost his cash cow but cmon, Holly is awesome! She is much better representative of Martial Arts and professional sports.
for all you people who think based off of this fight that ronda has no boxing skills I would say you simply don't know enough about the human mind to know the real reason behind what happened in this fight or you just dislike ronda. now I'm not trying to have a go or say anybody is stupid or anything I'm just making a point on where I think people have gone wrong. yes she was awful in this fight against holly but she's won in the past with barely getting hit in the face and you can't say that everyone she's fought in the past has shit boxing so there must be a non skill related reason behind why she lost to holly. don't get me wrong holly is sick at mma in general let alone boxing and she did fight the way she was supposed to but I don't think she faced the right ready to go ronda rousy. joe rogan has said that ronda's boxing has become world class and of a professional boxing level and he knows a thing or two about boxing and mma so her performance is not a reflection on her skills. I'd say she's had the same problem mike tyson had, not because of the same reason but still the same problem. she was majorly intimidated by holly's boxing and mma record and skills that she started to doubt the effectiveness of her own skills and then like mike tyson she lost faith in herself completely and the fight was effected. this is why she acted odd and overly aggressive during the weigh ins which she hasn't done before despite having reasons to do so. everything was just off in this fight and her simply moving forward towards punches in the face just goes to show she was off, I'm not saying she can definitely beat holly but if she get's her head together and believes in herself like she has before then the rematch will turn out far differently then this fight did.
+james haliburn Well, Joe Rogan says lots of silly things. Don't get me wrong Joe knows his stuff when it comes to BJJ, but he was a bit hyperbolic when he says things like Ronda's boxing is "world class". Holly Holm's boxing actually is world class. Most of Ronda's previous opponents didn't properly use lateral movement to evade Ronda's bullrushing style. They would often sit in the pocket and try and hit back with a haymaker get clinched up and then tossed. Plus, you have to factor most of Ronda's previous opponents didn't have the experience in the combat arts that she did. Plus, Ronda is a big fighter for her weight class. She does have good power but the is not the be all end all to be a good boxer.Holly was the first fighter she fought that had comparable(if not more) experience, size and her ringcraft and ability move laterally are what led to her winning.Ronda did the same things she always does. Charges straight ahead swinging trying to clinch up for a toss and then ground and pound. When that failed she didn't seem to have a plan B and it all went to shit for her after that.What Ronda needs to do is get a new striking coach that can teach her about angles and pacing and distance. She was severely outclassed in these areas.Not trying to be jerky, just calling them as I see them.
Web Developer that's not even a mature factual argument against what I've said so well done!! good adulting right there xD henrylicious if you're saying she was doing the same in this fight that she's done in every other fight then why did she become tired within 1 round yet she never got tired during her fights with tate despite the tate fights having more constant action in them ? ronda came out swinging for the fences putting everything behind her punches and when it didn't work she tried to go for a take down and then swing for the fences more which is why she was gassed out within 1 round, do you really think she swings for the fences every time she boxes with someone in the octagon ? even if her fighting style was the same as it's always been, she was still mentally defeated way before the weigh ins let alone the fight and that self doubt and lack of determination plays a big part in how much damage your head and body can take. emotions effect physical performance and this is why no offence to holly but she didn't face the peak ronda that she should of. I'm not trying to dull down holly's performance because it was sick, maybe I'm way off in my opinion but to me it looked like ronda being coached and led by her frustrations not by a clear confident mind.
+james haliburn "she didn't face the peak ronda that she should of."She most certainly did. The reason she became tired in the first round is because she never fought a true pro before. Everyone she fought up until now are amateurs, especially compared to Holly. Holly had full control of that fight from the get go. It was basically sparring practice for her. Rousey would be an idiot to step in the octagon with her again. She isn't, by any stretch of the imagination, a match for Holly.
Mick0722MX no offence but you do not know the difference between purely kickboxing and kickboxing mixed with loads of grappling and the effect added grappling has on energy. you use around 3 times more energy when grappling is added, it doesn't matter how amateur someone is, if they're grappling with you for most of multiple rounds you will use way more energy compared to even the best female kickboxer ever who is just kickboxing with you for 1 round. this bit of information isn't me being biased toward ronda it's just a fact that many people have stated for many years in mma, having to move around with a whole other human body and use pretty much all your muscles near max is more effort then simply bouncing yourself around and kickboxing. did ronda seem tired when having this grappling match with meisha for multiple rounds ? no far from it and you can't say meisha is small for the weight class because she obviously isn't. yet this and the fact that she trains for multiple rounds all the time somehow didn't prepare her and wasn't enough for her to be able to last only 1 round just kickboxing ? also it wasn't even a furious first round with loads of punches and kicks either. come on man it's not like her to last only 1 round and get tired and it's not like her to just continuously run into punches and not want to change her game plan or just move her head at all.
No offense, but I don't need you telling me what I know and what I don't know. No offense again, but you really don't know what you're talking about. Holly is in a completely different league than Rousey, and as long as Holly continues training, that will never change.
Automatic rematches just fuck shit up. Why does someone have to beat the guy twice? The only time a automatic rematch makes sense is if its a very close fight like gus/jones.. Or if some injury happens. Stop the insanity!
This right here sums up why I like her aside from her fighting which is an obvious but as a person/her personality... She isn't cocky, she's humble and has never taken the "sex sells" route for popularity. That automatically makes me respect her far more.
Dana - killed his golden goose. This was the worst match-up for Ronda at this stage of her career. Holly is a strong kick boxer and boxer and is much bigger than Ronda. Wrong match at the wrong time.
+Robert Miller But Holly is nowhere near Ronda's level when it comes to judo and ground game. Each fighter has their strengths and weaknesses. If Ronda would would have won, people would be saying it was the worst match-up for Holm at that stage in her career.
+johnbs199 Ronda's ground game clearly isn't as strong as you think - Holly was barely on the ground and Ronda got grounded by Holms physically and mentally lol #humbled
a lot of people couldnt see the failed takedown attempts by ronda. Watch the fight and focus just on what she does, the very first thing she did was try a takedown but holly was slippery and surprisingly good at avoiding them. At one point ronda tried a hipthrow but holly stepped in the right place and actually threw ronda off balance. She successfully avoided takedowns and beat her at her game (kickboxing) and that won her the fight.
There are a lot of great posts on here; also, views that are spot on. I would like to also point out an observation that I used to detect an upcoming defeat, and it goes like this... Holly, don't even control a thing in her camp: The wealth that Holly makes, will be distributed in the fashion according to the "business" of the game. Where in Ronda's corner, it is not that way. She controlled everything if you see what I'm getting at. Simply putting it: it is the people she surrounded herself with, and the lack there of; meaning this... are you going to stand around and work for someone who grows and you don't? when wealth come into the mix, as the business man would say, "its time to replace the horse that pulls my Wagon" again... if you keep beating the same horse, it will stop pulling one day.
Dana is confused. He has little experience with someone who is Real. No sound bites. No trash talk. No nonsense. Poor Dana. How can he "market" Holly? It's hard to spin and market something real. Holly is What She Is. A True Champion. Like Fedor.
until this fight people were saying Holly Holm did not had enough time to prepare for Rousey, now it's exactly the opposite... a quick rematch would be in favor of Holly Holm.
This fight is quite similar to ali vs liston except that its ali the challenger who made all the noises before the fight unlike here where the reigning champ made lot of noises and ended up losing very badly....lesson 1: never consider yourself as great and make predictions like "going to retire without losing a fight" unless you are ali. lesson 2: better touch your opponent glove b4 the match.
absolutely... Ronda deserves another beating... Anyone who thinks she'll come back for more of what she got from Holly, is more delusional than Ronda was.
Never be remacht because Holly is better Because was perfect performence of absolute superiority and domination in all aspects would be absurd for me revenge for health and physical integrity of Rousey
I was a little pissed when ronda lost but you know what holly is a true champion by her words and thoughts ronda is still my favorite female fighter but holly is number 2 this interview made me think completely different about her
A Ronda/Holly rematch should happen, but it shouldn't happen immediately. Or to put it another way, if it does happen immediately, Ronda will lose. I've said a lot in Ronda's favor in the past, and I still stand by it all, but the simple fact is that based on their fight, she currently has no answer to anything Holly brings to the table. Now maybe that's a matter of conditioning, a matter of not taking her opponent seriously enough and not training adequately for the fight. Maybe it's a matter of skill gaps she needs to go back and fix. More likely it's both, really. One way or the other, she needs to take some time out, heal up, watch footage of their fight, go back to the drawing board, and try to remake herself before stepping back in there. If she jumps back in immediately with Holly, she will LOSE. Even if she doesn't, she may well lose anyway. Maybe she'll never be able to match up with Holly no matter how much she tries. However, if she can do it, she'll do it after taking time to fix what's broken in her game plan first, because as it currently stands, they could fight 10 times, and I'd bet on Holly to win all 10. It was that lopsided. Meanwhile, maybe if Cyroid finally stops juicing and comes down in weight, Holly can put her to sleep and finally shut her up once and for all. It'll be an easy win for her. And hey, Tate's always up for getting her ass kicked again! It's sort of her thing.
she was a champion already, may not be the best mma fighter but..... boxing or kickboxing she's a champ Rhonda is judo not even a gold medalist..... Great win, her corner bet the house on her performance. nice win
Some may disagree and others will be on the same page. Ronda Rousey obviously is amazing in her Judo background no question about it, BUT her stand up game (striking) is not exactly the "best". Ronda tried doing stand up with a World Champion Boxer and she got showed that Holly has the striking game over Ronda. Also, Ronda mistakes confidence with being cocky. She continuously says she's the best in the world, nobody can beat her, etc etc... And she claims it as being confidence, but in reality if you haven't noticed the way she acts and the way she talks about all the other competitors, she's cocky and actually thinks that she's better than everyone else. Holly won fair and square and I'm absolutely glad that she did. Ronda needs to adjust her attitude and have respect for other competitors rather than trashing them as if they are nothing compared to her. Also, I've noticed allot about Dana White and what I observed, he favors Ronda over everyone.
I am a huge Ronda fan, I have to give credit to Holly. She absolutely had the better game plan and was nothing like Ronda had ever experienced before. Here me out for a sec ... I think that it was not so much what Holly was doing but rather what Ronda was doing that made it look so lopsided. Ronda made it so easy for Holly. Instead of going right after her knowing that she is a professional boxer, she should have let Holly come to her and then it would have been easier to clinch. Ronda was the champ, Holly had to go get the title not the other way around ... If Ronda had just sat back and waited for Holly, I think the outcome would have been different. Now in the rematch, Ronda will have to go after Holly because when your the challenger, you have to beat the champ not the other way around. Rematch will be even tougher for Ronda to win now.
This is BASICALLY Tyson and Holyfield all over again. Just like in this fight, I'm confident that Holly Holm will dominate Rousey in the inevitable rematch.
Really entertaining fight, it's pretty awesome to see a moment like that in the fight game. I think that this is the best example of a game plan executed perfectly. It'll be interesting to see how Ronda fights in the rematch though, now that her Cockiness has been severely damaged lol, It should make for a much more competitive fight. Holm will win a stand up fight anyday, Rousey will win a grappling fight. This is your quintessential Boxer vs. Judo practician. Hopefully Ronda learns how to throw a technical punch, I'd really love to see these two at their best. Props to Holly, perfect fight for her.
+jumbalyiajefferson Holly is already past her prime and she still decimated Ronda. And what makes you think Ronda can win a grappling fight against Holly Holm?. Holly took Ronda down - it was almost a suplex. Ronda couldn't keep Holly down in her half-assed takedown attempt. Holly is stronger than Ronda. Ronda can't win on the ground against Holly or she would have.
Red Rover An experienced submission artist will obviously let a boxer take her down, it's pretty much giving her a shot at your arm without having to work for the takedown. You clearly don't know that much about MMA. and womens mma is so new that someone as skilled at striking would obviously beat the female equivalent to Royce gracie. Ronda is an Olympic Judo athlete, what makes YOU think a boxer could beat her at her own game? If she would've won you would've been dickriding the other way, saying oh Holly's past her prime, obviously Ronda would submit her. I literally guarantee you'd say that lol
Dana looks soooo butt hurt. Even if his cash cow loses he should be happy that the better fighter won. He seems like he is pissed off that holly won. They all talked it up joe rogan Dana mike Goldberg all saying she's the best Ronda has ever fought and the best female striker maybe ever. I knew Ronda was worried when she pulled the head game stunt at the weigh in and that's what made me bet and thanks to holly I won just under 3k. For the rematch I think Ima sit out of the betting as I think holly will win Ronda wants her belt back bad and I'm sure the margins on the better army gonna be near as good as they were this time.
Even the best fighters doubt themselves sometimes? Hmm, interesting. So real strength IS will! And if you pay attention, you can feel HOW strong your will is, can in turn can be.
before i like ronda but i noticed that she begn to become arrogant esp. to holly. holly didnt do any bad things or move for ronda to become arrogant. i think holly did a good job. less talk but she proves shes the strongest..👍👍👍
Ronda can have a rematch AFTER she fights cyborg, gets rid of that nobody-can-touch-me arrogant cocky bigheaded attitude, humbles herself and learns how to touch gloves. There's no excuses to not fight cyborg now, I mean, she has no belt so why not? I can't believe people were even talking about a rematch 5 minutes after holly won! Let her take it all in and enjoy it first!
Ronda's psyche is DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR... she shouldn't comeback.... Holly owns Ronda.. same thing would happen, probably in the first round... The next super fight is Holly and Cyborg at 140...
Holly Holm will NEVER bring the hype Ronda Rousey did to WMMA. I see the people being turned off to the sport now cause Holly's boring and too giraffe like. She does the same thing anyway, but someone needs to get her to the ground. Holly's kicks won't last forever, someone will get to tossing her SOON.
The match was a shut out. Totally one-sided in favor of Holly. Ronda does not deserve a rematch, she should regroup and fight at least twice before fighting the Champ again. I would like to see Holly vs Tate or Cyborg next.

I do

NO REMATCH
the fight wasn't even close
She has to say that but in reality Ronda doesnt deserve jack shit. The fight wasnt even CLOSE. Even TJ vs Barao didnt happen until after Barao had another fight.

Stop being immature and accept reality
Right, fight wasnt even close. Bottom line is that fools are holding on to all that dominate athelete hype and still feel she'll wipe the floor with Holms which is bullshit in my opinion.
I like holly, she's not completely full of herself.
Holly was very respectful, humble, and classy going into the fight and coming out of the fight!
In absolutely no way, shape or form does Rousey merit a rematch. She was completely dominated by Holm, who is clearly a far superior fighter. In any case, Rousey should have to fight Cyborg first. If she manages to win that one (highly doubtful) then she will have earned the privilege of Holm once again repeatedly smashing her fat moon face.
Dana White looks lost without Ronda Rousey by his side.
Rousey got humiliated at every moment of the fight, doesn't deserve a rematch at least till she's proved herself again in a couple of matches
Holly Holm is absolutely perfect in every way. She's a real and genuine woman.
god! this woman is so nice I love it ,women don't have to be mean to each other to win, good luck holly
She is very articulate. Very mature and smart.
Look at Dana White face he looks mad cause his golden child Ronda Rousey he put on a pedestal got her ass whipped now he already shame!!
I like the new Champion. She is real and humble.
good interview, she handled her self like a true champion
so glad rousey lost dont like her attitude and she has a big serious face!
I like the way Holly conducts herself. The sign of a real 'Champ'.
I like her!! Very professional!!
A Rematch! Too soon. Let Rousey fight Cyborg and the winner of that fight can go on to fight the Champ. MAKES SENSE.
+Vern De Laronde Makes sense? Cyborg is in a different weight class.
0:58 Dana whipes his tears away lol
such a sweet girl...
Respectful new champion, really happy for her.
I'm in love with this woman, so humble.
Rematch is good. I also wouldn't mind seeing Ronda go through one challenger before too, since she absolutely got TOOLED by Holly this fight. Holly didn't win by "puncher's chance", she straight up dismantled Rousey for 6 minutes and brutally knocked her the fuck out
Holly Holm shows a lot of grace. Everyone loves a humble champion. I am now a fan. Rhonda Rousey has a lot to learn from this.
its nice to see a good sport and honesty + humbleness= suscess. good luck to both ronda and holly.
Next is conor mcgregor getting knocked out waych
U r stupid don't compare those two conner a beast not no joke..
+Rigo Martinez ronda a beast too
+Rustin Taghipour yeah + Conor said he was "as good as Ronda"
+1analist he said it because he was being humble.. he thinks he's the best. but if he says anything bad about a woman he knows the media will destroy him so he says he's on par with ronda. but he deep down inside knows the truth that he can own ronda easily
Conor is a good striker, Ronda wasn't.
So humble and kind. I love her.
Funny how Ronda gets the privilege of a rematch, if the story was different and she won, I highly doubt she'd give Holly any second chances and just go on with being the "number one fighter"
As much of a supporter of Ronda Rousey that I am........I can't bring myself to dislike.......or speak disrespectfully of Holly Holm, in any fashion. She appears to be an exceptionally humble person.......a total CLASS ACT. Instead of disliking this woman......I find myself as a fan. I wish her the best.
Ronda was a flash in the pan - this is a true champion.
She's awesome...
Holly seems more humble than any fighter I have watched. Not sure if there are too many like her.
I know that Dana feels like hes lost his cash cow but cmon, Holly is awesome! She is much better representative of Martial Arts and professional sports.
Ronda Will NOT take a rematch right away !
Everyone loves a humble champion!!..She respects Rhonda and she understands she can always do better...and that's what it takes to be a good fighter.
for all you people who think based off of this fight that ronda has no boxing skills I would say you simply don't know enough about the human mind to know the real reason behind what happened in this fight or you just dislike ronda. now I'm not trying to have a go or say anybody is stupid or anything I'm just making a point on where I think people have gone wrong. yes she was awful in this fight against holly but she's won in the past with barely getting hit in the face and you can't say that everyone she's fought in the past has shit boxing so there must be a non skill related reason behind why she lost to holly. don't get me wrong holly is sick at mma in general let alone boxing and she did fight the way she was supposed to but I don't think she faced the right ready to go ronda rousy. joe rogan has said that ronda's boxing has become world class and of a professional boxing level and he knows a thing or two about boxing and mma so her performance is not a reflection on her skills.
I'd say she's had the same problem mike tyson had, not because of the same reason but still the same problem. she was majorly intimidated by holly's boxing and mma record and skills that she started to doubt the effectiveness of her own skills and then like mike tyson she lost faith in herself completely and the fight was effected. this is why she acted odd and overly aggressive during the weigh ins which she hasn't done before despite having reasons to do so. everything was just off in this fight and her simply moving forward towards punches in the face just goes to show she was off, I'm not saying she can definitely beat holly but if she get's her head together and believes in herself like she has before then the rematch will turn out far differently then this fight did.
+james haliburn Well, Joe Rogan says lots of silly things. Don't get me wrong Joe knows his stuff when it comes to BJJ, but he was a bit hyperbolic when he says things like Ronda's boxing is "world class". Holly Holm's boxing actually is world class. Most of Ronda's previous opponents didn't properly use lateral movement to evade Ronda's bullrushing style. They would often sit in the pocket and try and hit back with a haymaker get clinched up and then tossed. Plus, you have to factor most of Ronda's previous opponents didn't have the experience in the combat arts that she did. Plus, Ronda is a big fighter for her weight class. She does have good power but the is not the be all end all to be a good boxer.Holly was the first fighter she fought that had comparable(if not more) experience, size and her ringcraft and ability move laterally are what led to her winning.Ronda did the same things she always does. Charges straight ahead swinging trying to clinch up for a toss and then ground and pound. When that failed she didn't seem to have a plan B and it all went to shit for her after that.What Ronda needs to do is get a new striking coach that can teach her about angles and pacing and distance. She was severely outclassed in these areas.Not trying to be jerky, just calling them as I see them.
Web Developer that's not even a mature factual argument against what I've said so well done!! good adulting right there xD
henrylicious if you're saying she was doing the same in this fight that she's done in every other fight then why did she become tired within 1 round yet she never got tired during her fights with tate despite the tate fights having more constant action in them ? ronda came out swinging for the fences putting everything behind her punches and when it didn't work she tried to go for a take down and then swing for the fences more which is why she was gassed out within 1 round, do you really think she swings for the fences every time she boxes with someone in the octagon ? even if her fighting style was the same as it's always been, she was still mentally defeated way before the weigh ins let alone the fight and that self doubt and lack of determination plays a big part in how much damage your head and body can take. emotions effect physical performance and this is why no offence to holly but she didn't face the peak ronda that she should of.
I'm not trying to dull down holly's performance because it was sick, maybe I'm way off in my opinion but to me it looked like ronda being coached and led by her frustrations not by a clear confident mind.
+james haliburn "she didn't face the peak ronda that she should of."She most certainly did. The reason she became tired in the first round is because she never fought a true pro before. Everyone she fought up until now are amateurs, especially compared to Holly. Holly had full control of that fight from the get go. It was basically sparring practice for her. Rousey would be an idiot to step in the octagon with her again. She isn't, by any stretch of the imagination, a match for Holly.
Mick0722MX no offence but you do not know the difference between purely kickboxing and kickboxing mixed with loads of grappling and the effect added grappling has on energy. you use around 3 times more energy when grappling is added, it doesn't matter how amateur someone is, if they're grappling with you for most of multiple rounds you will use way more energy compared to even the best female kickboxer ever who is just kickboxing with you for 1 round. this bit of information isn't me being biased toward ronda it's just a fact that many people have stated for many years in mma, having to move around with a whole other human body and use pretty much all your muscles near max is more effort then simply bouncing yourself around and kickboxing. did ronda seem tired when having this grappling match with meisha for multiple rounds ? no far from it and you can't say meisha is small for the weight class because she obviously isn't. yet this and the fact that she trains for multiple rounds all the time somehow didn't prepare her and wasn't enough for her to be able to last only 1 round just kickboxing ? also it wasn't even a furious first round with loads of punches and kicks either.
come on man it's not like her to last only 1 round and get tired and it's not like her to just continuously run into punches and not want to change her game plan or just move her head at all.
No offense, but I don't need you telling me what I know and what I don't know.
No offense again, but you really don't know what you're talking about.
Holly is in a completely different league than Rousey, and as long as Holly continues training, that will never change.
Automatic rematches just fuck shit up. Why does someone have to beat the guy twice? The only time a automatic rematch makes sense is if its a very close fight like gus/jones.. Or if some injury happens. Stop the insanity!
Holly seems so calm and so nice. Glad she won.
holms dominated Ronda in every second of that fight !!
idk why people thought she didn't stand a chance she's been a beast
This right here sums up why I like her aside from her fighting which is an obvious but as a person/her personality... She isn't cocky, she's humble and has never taken the "sex sells" route for popularity. That automatically makes me respect her far more.
Dana - killed his golden goose. This was the worst match-up for Ronda at this stage of her career. Holly is a strong kick boxer and boxer and is much bigger than Ronda. Wrong match at the wrong time.
+Robert Miller But Holly is nowhere near Ronda's level when it comes to judo and ground game. Each fighter has their strengths and weaknesses. If Ronda would would have won, people would be saying it was the worst match-up for Holm at that stage in her career.
Well clearly the judo didn't do shit to help her win lmao
+bagofcupcakes lmao I know. Holly came to fight
+johnbs199 Ronda's ground game clearly isn't as strong as you think - Holly was barely on the ground and Ronda got grounded by Holms physically and mentally lol #humbled
same weight
Rondo tried to fight her at her game, boxing and she got beatup. Next time she has to fight her fight on the ground its her only chance.
+vqfive She already tried but nothing happened, Holly even took Ronda down! ROTFLMAO
this is worst than John cena losing to Funaki
lmao
A rematch would be great to see again. Holly is very humble and curious to see how reckless Ronda will act again !
a lot of people couldnt see the failed takedown attempts by ronda. Watch the fight and focus just on what she does, the very first thing she did was try a takedown but holly was slippery and surprisingly good at avoiding them. At one point ronda tried a hipthrow but holly stepped in the right place and actually threw ronda off balance. She successfully avoided takedowns and beat her at her game (kickboxing) and that won her the fight.
There are a lot of great posts on here; also, views that are spot on. I would like to also point out an observation that I used to detect an upcoming defeat, and it goes like this... Holly, don't even control a thing in her camp: The wealth that Holly makes, will be distributed in the fashion according to the "business" of the game. Where in Ronda's corner, it is not that way. She controlled everything if you see what I'm getting at. Simply putting it: it is the people she surrounded herself with, and the lack there of; meaning this... are you going to stand around and work for someone who grows and you don't?
when wealth come into the mix, as the business man would say, "its time to replace the horse that pulls my Wagon" again... if you keep beating the same horse, it will stop pulling one day.
congrats to Holly, but Ronda didn't train, she was gasing out at the end of the first round.
+coldcoldrain13 Yea, she looked like a fat chick sucking wind.
Wait, she WAS a fat chick sucking wind.
+Red Rov
the other ??????
+coldcoldrain13 Yeah she got a big head and thought this fight would be a cake walk she found out other wise.
"Hello ghost of Christmas past" haha that guy's questions were crap.
She's such an inspiring woman. Love Holly.
3:10 rematch question
Dana is confused. He has little experience with someone who is Real. No sound bites. No trash talk. No nonsense. Poor Dana. How can he "market" Holly? It's hard to spin and market something real. Holly is What She Is. A True Champion. Like Fedor.
Dana White looks so sick at that press conference. lol
Holly so humble~true champion she is~ well done~:)
until this fight people were saying Holly Holm did not had enough time to prepare for Rousey, now it's exactly the opposite... a quick rematch would be in favor of Holly Holm.
Bruce lee "Be water my friend" now ik what it means..!!
how can any one hate on holm not matter what ronda said she still paid respect
I like Holly she is very humble she is going to be very successful...
This fight is quite similar to ali vs liston except that its ali the challenger who made all the noises before the fight unlike here where the reigning champ made lot of noises and ended up losing very badly....lesson 1: never consider yourself as great and make predictions like "going to retire without losing a fight" unless you are ali. lesson 2: better touch your opponent glove b4 the match.
Dana is over there slaughtering Holly in his head lol he over there lookin like a depressed widow. 😂😭
absolutely... Ronda deserves another beating...
Anyone who thinks she'll come back for more of what she got from Holly, is more delusional than Ronda was.
Rousey's head was SO BIG that it JUST fit inside the stadium dome in that Melbourne fight.
Why does no reporter call Dana out on how distraught he looks
Never be remacht because
Holly is better Because was perfect performence of absolute superiority and domination in all aspects would be absurd for me revenge for health and physical integrity of Rousey
I was a little pissed when ronda lost but you know what holly is a true champion by her words and thoughts ronda is still my favorite female fighter but holly is number 2 this interview made me think completely different about her
A Ronda/Holly rematch should happen, but it shouldn't happen immediately. Or to put it another way, if it does happen immediately, Ronda will lose. I've said a lot in Ronda's favor in the past, and I still stand by it all, but the simple fact is that based on their fight, she currently has no answer to anything Holly brings to the table.
Now maybe that's a matter of conditioning, a matter of not taking her opponent seriously enough and not training adequately for the fight. Maybe it's a matter of skill gaps she needs to go back and fix. More likely it's both, really. One way or the other, she needs to take some time out, heal up, watch footage of their fight, go back to the drawing board, and try to remake herself before stepping back in there.
If she jumps back in immediately with Holly, she will LOSE.
Even if she doesn't, she may well lose anyway. Maybe she'll never be able to match up with Holly no matter how much she tries. However, if she can do it, she'll do it after taking time to fix what's broken in her game plan first, because as it currently stands, they could fight 10 times, and I'd bet on Holly to win all 10. It was that lopsided.
Meanwhile, maybe if Cyroid finally stops juicing and comes down in weight, Holly can put her to sleep and finally shut her up once and for all. It'll be an easy win for her. And hey, Tate's always up for getting her ass kicked again! It's sort of her thing.
Dana is waiting there like.. I RUN THIS MOTHAFUCKA! ASK ME THE QUESTIONS!
I can read Dana's thoughts: "so is this really my new female champ?!"
she was a champion already,
may not be the best mma fighter but.....
boxing or kickboxing she's a champ Rhonda is judo not even a gold medalist.....
Great win, her corner bet the house on her performance.
nice win
Some may disagree and others will be on the same page. Ronda Rousey obviously is amazing in her Judo background no question about it, BUT her stand up game (striking) is not exactly the "best". Ronda tried doing stand up with a World Champion Boxer and she got showed that Holly has the striking game over Ronda. Also, Ronda mistakes confidence with being cocky. She continuously says she's the best in the world, nobody can beat her, etc etc... And she claims it as being confidence, but in reality if you haven't noticed the way she acts and the way she talks about all the other competitors, she's cocky and actually thinks that she's better than everyone else. Holly won fair and square and I'm absolutely glad that she did. Ronda needs to adjust her attitude and have respect for other competitors rather than trashing them as if they are nothing compared to her. Also, I've noticed allot about Dana White and what I observed, he favors Ronda over everyone.
She's going to be awesome for this sport. Marketers are already lining up to sign her. If she can hold the title, look out.
Ronda should face Cyborg next, so she can end Rousey's career.
+LYNN LOVE I think Holly is perfectly capable of doing that. Cyborg isn't necessary.
I am a huge Ronda fan, I have to give credit to Holly. She absolutely had the better game plan and was nothing like Ronda had ever experienced before. Here me out for a sec ... I think that it was not so much what Holly was doing but rather what Ronda was doing that made it look so lopsided. Ronda made it so easy for Holly. Instead of going right after her knowing that she is a professional boxer, she should have let Holly come to her and then it would have been easier to clinch. Ronda was the champ, Holly had to go get the title not the other way around ... If Ronda had just sat back and waited for Holly, I think the outcome would have been different. Now in the rematch, Ronda will have to go after Holly because when your the challenger, you have to beat the champ not the other way around. Rematch will be even tougher for Ronda to win now.
That's true, but Ronda was trying to go after her but she couldn't, holly is too good.
Chasing a boxer never a good idea
+Robert Tusa No offense, but you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
rematch is not going to make any difference Holly is stronger . Ronda underestimated Holly
Dana White absolutely hated that Rhonda lost.
This is BASICALLY Tyson and Holyfield all over again. Just like in this fight, I'm confident that Holly Holm will dominate Rousey in the inevitable rematch.
Really entertaining fight, it's pretty awesome to see a moment like that in the fight game. I think that this is the best example of a game plan executed perfectly. It'll be interesting to see how Ronda fights in the rematch though, now that her Cockiness has been severely damaged lol, It should make for a much more competitive fight. Holm will win a stand up fight anyday, Rousey will win a grappling fight. This is your quintessential Boxer vs. Judo practician. Hopefully Ronda learns how to throw a technical punch, I'd really love to see these two at their best. Props to Holly, perfect fight for her.
+jumbalyiajefferson Holly is already past her prime and she still decimated Ronda. And what makes you think Ronda can win a grappling fight against Holly Holm?. Holly took Ronda down - it was almost a suplex. Ronda couldn't keep Holly down in her half-assed takedown attempt. Holly is stronger than Ronda. Ronda can't win on the ground against Holly or she would have.
Red Rover An experienced submission artist will obviously let a boxer take her down, it's pretty much giving her a shot at your arm without having to work for the takedown. You clearly don't know that much about MMA. and womens mma is so new that someone as skilled at striking would obviously beat the female equivalent to Royce gracie. Ronda is an Olympic Judo athlete, what makes YOU think a boxer could beat her at her own game? If she would've won you would've been dickriding the other way, saying oh Holly's past her prime, obviously Ronda would submit her. I literally guarantee you'd say that lol
+jumbalyiajefferson You are saying Ronda LET Holly nearly suplex her? Hahaha. Talking about dickriding...
I love Holly's attitude
Dana looks soooo butt hurt. Even if his cash cow loses he should be happy that the better fighter won. He seems like he is pissed off that holly won. They all talked it up joe rogan Dana mike Goldberg all saying she's the best Ronda has ever fought and the best female striker maybe ever. I knew Ronda was worried when she pulled the head game stunt at the weigh in and that's what made me bet and thanks to holly I won just under 3k. For the rematch I think Ima sit out of the betting as I think holly will win Ronda wants her belt back bad and I'm sure the margins on the better army gonna be near as good as they were this time.
Tons of people compare rondas none sportsmanship to Holly's humbleness. Yes Holly is a sweet heart. Ronda is just a damn bully. Simple
Even the best fighters doubt themselves sometimes? Hmm, interesting. So real strength IS will! And if you pay attention, you can feel HOW strong your will is, can in turn can be.
All of you guys are hating on Ronda when if she would have won you would be hating on holly they are both amazing athletes and deserve a rematch
before i like ronda but i noticed that she begn to become arrogant esp. to holly. holly didnt do any bad things or move for ronda to become arrogant. i think holly did a good job. less talk but she proves shes the strongest..👍👍👍
Ronda can have a rematch AFTER she fights cyborg, gets rid of that nobody-can-touch-me arrogant cocky bigheaded attitude, humbles herself and learns how to touch gloves. There's no excuses to not fight cyborg now, I mean, she has no belt so why not? I can't believe people were even talking about a rematch 5 minutes after holly won! Let her take it all in and enjoy it first!
Ronda's psyche is DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR... she shouldn't comeback.... Holly owns Ronda.. same thing would happen, probably in the first round... The next super fight is Holly and Cyborg at 140...
Holly Holm will NEVER bring the hype Ronda Rousey did to WMMA. I see the people being turned off to the sport now cause Holly's boring and too giraffe like. She does the same thing anyway, but someone needs to get her to the ground. Holly's kicks won't last forever, someone will get to tossing her SOON.
The match was a shut out. Totally one-sided in favor of Holly. Ronda does not deserve a rematch, she should regroup and fight at least twice before fighting the Champ again. I would like to see Holly vs Tate or Cyborg next.
