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.
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

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

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.
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

It looks good on the pads, but she is very easy to hit, doesn't posses good movement and her striking is really sloppy.
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.

Edmond Tarverdyan (Ronda's coach):
"The game plan was pressing. We knew Holly Holm was going to keep the distance. So we had to feint and get inside and pressure the right way so we can get on the side of the cage. I wouldn't say in the striking game she was getting the best of Ronda, you know, but I have to watch it again. But we know this was not a striking match; we know that Ronda is smart enough to take the fight where she is best at and today she did. Holly stopped an attempt on an armbar and stopped some of the takedowns. She did a good job."
----------
Anderson Silva:
"Our biggest glory doesn't lives in the fact of never fall down, but in the fact of we always stand up after each fall. With determination, You will overcome this bad time. I know very well how it is. You are a great athlete and transcend the MMA world. My kids love You. So, don't forget: To fall makes us stronger to stand up. You deserve the best of this world. Nobody is forever. All of us lost and to lose make us stronger. So, I wish you peace and lots of patience. Hold this experience with intelligence and don't blame yourself. You had a big lesson of this sport. With class you will transform this hapeness in something better to your personal and professional life, because the world was made for people like you, a winner. Stand up your head, girl. You are a great champion of life and a inspiration for all world. Don't forget, we love you!"

Makes me wonder if she just fights down/up to the level of her opposition/needs an active fighter to counter/move off to look good (kinda how Machida can look amazing sometimes and then turn in performances like vs Phil Davis where he doesn't do shit).
If Ronda were to change camp I'd feel a lot better about her chances. Edmund is clearly delusional or a con-artist.
Dana got her best surgeon in Australia, or so he said on the podcast with Joe Rogan. Cyborg got really mad, cos Rogan and that other guy made penis jokes about her, then they all laughed. Ronda came "home" but had a big purple pillow thingy and covered her face, head down through the airport, whilst scummy paparazzi's tried to get her to talk n get a picture of her face!!
Everyone seem to be loving Holly, new fight trailer promo for the Jose, Aldo fight. Mayweather said he was setting up things to start training/coaching mma fighter with boxing, wouldn't mind helping Ronda!! Holly's win was trending over all the other sports event in the usa the next couple of days as #1!!
Tons of lashback on her loss, the gist of it seem to be ridiculue and "hate", but I dunno if that's bad. Most talked about is Trump tweeting a sassy sting at her, Gaga said some shit too, but who cares!!
Ok, that's a small part of it, at the top of my head!
