    Ronda's striking is really terrible isn't it!
    A lot of people have been saying it for ages and finally we got a competent striker to show it.

    So happy for Holly though! Lovely girl with no fake bull**** bully antics.

    Really have to feel happy for Holly Holm there, she seems genuinely shocked and dumbfounded herself.

    That duck just before the KO was just incredible.

    Dean couldn't believe it either, 2 more hits when Rhonda was out cold.

    All the more sweeter for Holm considering Rhonda didn't touch gloves, that kick was something else.

    This is why Ronda should never have being on the cover of Ring Magazine, she can't box for ****.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    I could be wrong because i'm no MMA expert but why is everyone so shocked? Holmes is a several division former boxing champion, standing up she surely always had advantages on Rousey.

    Because Rousey is an animal, her fights last seconds..not rounds. So far in the UFC Holm has been average and less than impressive considering the hype when she signed to the UFC and her background. She just changed all that though!

    I can feel Rogan cringing through my stream. He talked so much nonsense about Rousey.

    Joe Rogan is collapsing on the inside like a black hole.

    Someone needs to keep watch over him over the next few days.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,709 ✭✭✭shrewdness


    Delighted for her! Fought the perfect fight, when she got back up when Ronda got her down that felt like a huge moment. And her taking down Ronda at the end of the first seemed like it was to prove a point.

    She handled it all with class too, waiting to commiserate with Ronda when she was out cold, rather than going mad celebrating like most would. Contrast that with Ronda at the weigh ins and refusing to touch gloves.

    Mad how so many people will have bought this purely to watch Ronda, only to tune in and see that!

    I can't wait to watch the fight again tomorrow.

    Holly was surgical.

    I'm listening to Rogan here and he seems genuinely happy for Holly.

    How fast do ye think they'll take Ronda off the cover of that game they have been advertising all night?

    It'll be funny seeing the mainstream media's reaction to this. Most hardcore mma fans have come to dislike Ronda recently so I'm looking forward to see what happens.

    The first Rousey fight I've been happy I stayed up for

    After seeing that, I don't think so. Holm is on a different level skill wise. I'm genuinely stunned, her movement and angling was perfection. Ronda has no standup at all and Holm was able to shut down her takedowns, bar one, and even managed to take Ronda down.

    jesus on ufc fantasy league i had holm just got 825 points for that match jeesus

    So glad I stayed up for this fight. Was beginning to regret it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,709 ✭✭✭cloudatlas


    Calm collected strong. Ronda looked like she was in a bar brawl, swinging at the air.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,952 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    Awesome to see this. Its what UFC needed I think.

    Terrific hands on Holm, and proved that Rhonda hasnt got the hands that people think. Granted Holm has fought for world titles in boxing and kickboxing, her technical ability was and is way above Rousey.

    Not a hope. She cant gain that boxing/movement in a few months. Totally outclassed


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    Cant wait to hear a humbled Ronda at the press conference.

    I dunno about that anymore, the aura is broken now, She got handled like a novice, and the kickboxer took the judoka down on her one and only attempt

    I dunno i think its a hard sell unless they make up a story that Ronda was injured.Ronda loses that fight every time almost imo.

    Pity Ronda wasnt in that cursed title holder photo, only Aldo left now to lose the belt!

    Felt the same, I say Rondas head was up her ass.

    This might level her, next time ronda waits for high kick, patience, take down, arm bar.

    But that's what I expected tonight so what the **** do I know.

    Ronda looked so rattled at the weigh in.

    She definitely will be at the presser. Wouldnt have expected her to talk to Joe, that would be rubbing salt in the wounds.

    that and she was knocked cold, takes a few minutes to get the head back from wtf mode

    Yeah I think Holm suprised most people with how she was able to handle Ronda grabbing onto her, and getting up when she was put down. I'm sure Ronda will be better prepared the next time and maybe not as emotional. But she no longer has this unbeatable aura about her, that's huge.

    Also we seen the big gap in striking between them tonight, makes all the talk of Ronda's striking over the last few months look ridiculous.

    Has Ronda ever been kicked in the head or leg?

    I was listening to Rogan and John Wayne Parr and he was saying Ronda might have weak, or had problems with in the past, her knees.

    I voted Holm, more in hope than anything!

    When you look at when upsets have occurred it's usually when the star has had other things to deal with or their head slightly turned.

    Ronda in the last few weeks has had her Mam say she wanted to run her coach over, taken a bit of heat for her relationship with Browne, and her coach file for bankruptcy. Then there's pretty much everyone writing off Holm and a bit of celeb exposure for Ronda. This is a recipe for disaster.

    Who's this MMA newb and what's he on about :pac::pac:
