This was it... this was the moment Rondas spirit died you could see it in her face.

Her awful footwork made her lose her balance after swinging at air but most people would have buried their faces in the cage after missing like that but she recovered with cat-like agility after being tired and beaten, impressive.

I'm glad I didn't make the over 1.5 bet though :D
I'd be mad too if i were Dana the new champion is the most humble person ever, first title defense will be easy hype up since its either going to be rematch or vs Tate , but if she wins next ones will be super hard :D

edit:
wow i just saw the fight, she completely destroyed her especially that TD showing her that she can do it lol :D

Ronda was exposed big time. I thought that there is value on Holm at the odds and did very well for the night, but I never imagined such demolition. WOW.

Just how big of clown is Edmond Tarverdyan, the guy is an absolute fraud and completely delusional. He couldn't come up with a worse gameplan if he tried. His advise between rounds was pathetic and apparently has said that Rousey has not lost the striking battle. LOL, what tool.

It's just a bad matchup of styles for her. Ronda's fame came from her being able to armbar unprepared women fighters, she is basically ~7 years ahead of all them in that aspect, and it looks demolishing because of that. Her superstardom isn't a fluke, but its like 2006 poker, women fighters havent trained for 7.5 years to stop armbars. Here, it was just a bad matchup stylistically for her.

It's like women fighting has only become a thing a few years ago, but she's been trainign judo her whole life.

Now I will tell you, that I don't see Ronda Rousey Ever being able to beat Holly Holm. Which is interesting because they will probably have a rematch and how accustomed Ronda has become to being a champion.

I really don't see a karmic path that leads her to the tools necessary to beat Holly Holm. I wonder what the odds on that fight will be.
This reminds me of Barao vs Dillashaw a lot. I was stubborn and took Barao the second fight there, here I don't think she can win.

I'm also very curious about the odds. i can hardly imagine Ronda being a bigger underdog than +200, but i feel like -200 for Holm is +EV.

Holm is +155 for the rematch, thoughts???

That sounds amazing.

Ronda has like a 10% chance to armbar her, thats her only out. Shes years behind in stand-up, and can't possibly catch up. Levels behind, Body behind, technique behind, and can't possibly catch up.

It's probably closer to a 25% chance to armbar her actually.
Ronda will very likely be desperately focused on getting the fight to the ground next fight. She won't be trying to stand for a second.

Booked it. Thanks for pointing it out.

To be fair Jim Carrey is famous for his standup

Realistically Ronda should be an underdog
However she build such a major hype she ll be the favorite for sure so odds at Holm will be great

the acuuracy in this video is crazy lol

You know, I blame Travis Browne for what happened here.

Let's see how Ronda handles this.

Exactly, Holm isnt superb or anything, she had terrible fights not long ago winning close decisions, but she had the perfect style to beat Ronda, she specializes in angles and lateral movement, which is key to deny the clinch

I think you people now underestimate how likely is that Ronda can get an armbar, obviously Holm dominated but there is a decent chance that Ronda takes her down on top, I obviously think that Holm should be a favourite over Ronda but I dont agree at all with the "Ronda never wins" we have no clue about Holms defensive BJJ

bet £25 for holmes as in play, you could see the odds going down but still ev+ 5 to 1 is something ... but as a rematch i think its gonna be more chess style based ... on mistake and its over

This reminds me of the Lex vs Elky fight, Lex warming up on the pads looked scary as fuck, then the fight started and he was sloppy as fuck but Elky is as athletic as C3P-O. Not dissing Lex obv he still kicks my ass... or maybe not ?

I highly doubt that. Mexicans > Dutch in fighting. Or arguably in over all toughness.
