Being on Facebook and all. But for all my uncool brethren, here Rhonda getting her azz handed to her. [video]https://www.facebook.com/PG.Kills.WWE/videos/1004134989633250/?fref=nf[/video]
She's a bad sport. Acted the hardazz at the weigh in then wouldn't touch gloves. Had a hard time keeping her mouth closed during the fight. like her jaw got jacked.
Worst thing any fighter can do is start believing the hype. With the fame, fortune, endorsements & the talk shows it is inevitable, they lose the hunger. Holm looked hungry - - Rousey looked chubby / complacent. Holm also looked roided out (acne, ripped body) but hey who's surprised by that anymore. Rousey wasn't even picking up on the straight lefts - - those were one-off power punches, not jabs, that she was absorbing with her grille - - has Rousey not fought a southpaw before this one? Anyways, it's rarely worth the time to watch chicas do much of anything except for one thing. And this wasn't it.
She's not a bad sport... She had( as of 2 days ago) a persona that she was unbeatable. She intimidates everyone she fights (until now) and has such an upper hand before the fight even starts... It just didn't work this time. If you look at her other fights her opponents look scared before the fight starts. Then she job maps on them right away and dominates. He problem is she's never been hit like this before. Holm is a boxer... Rhonda thought she'd take her down and tap her out like everyone else. But she couldn't. She didn't even try to adapt. Like Tyson says "everyone has a plan til they get punched in the face"
Yeah, she didn't look good in this fight. She was taking some hard face shots! I also thought the non glove touch was a little childish
She wanted to box her, she even said it pre fight. Which was a bad idea and she paid the price for it; after that first round she was flustered and rocked, she couldn't even get a decent throw in and Judo is her expertise! That being said Im a fan of Rhonda, but glad to see that the UFC now has another contender and the worry of Rhonda being the end all of female fighters is a good thing for the sport.
This guys does excellent before and after technical breakdowns of all the top MMA fights. This is his pre-fight game plan for how Holly beats Ronda, and HH pretty much executed this exact plan to a "T". Connor really does some excellent work game planning. He's either on the same level as guys like Jackson\Winklejohn or they just cut and paste his game plans for their fighters. Angles, distance control, reactive takedowns, brilliant. http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2015/11/...technique-boxing-judo-fight-gif-tate-ko-tyson
I always thought RR was fairly good but not great as the media made her out to be - the women's division is so thin that she looked fantastic by comparison. Matched up to a girl who has has been training MMA much longer and is a kickboxer as well as a champion boxer and RR showed how 1 dimensional she really is. But hell she has made a ton of $$ and has options going forward. That was quite an ass kicking though whew !!
Rhonda said before the fight, she had to take her down on the ground and it just didn't happen...Hollys reach was just killing Rhonda...I wonder how her stamina is...she seemed exhausted after midway through round 1...Rhonda's fight are normally finished in a blink of an eye.
