The KEY to her preventing the Rousey comeback was her escaping those grips and that headlock....but Ronda had already SPENT TOO MUCH energy trying to bum rush and throw hands at that point. It was insanity to try to throw with a 19x Champion boxer. It just didn't make any fukking sense.

The conditioning and skillsets for grappling are too far apart considering Ronda is getting close to 30 years old which isn't anything for a civilian, but for a combat athlete, it is very disconcerting. From what we've witnessed with her hands, she'll never match anyone on exchanges unless some miracle happens through very rigorous boxing camps, sparring, and conditioning. The next person she faces will know how to stop her on the feet, avoid the takedowns, and stuff the armbar (which you can do by relaxing your arm, keeping good posture, and simply pull the arm out).

Most importantly, Ronda didn't look like she was in fighting shape and she seemed like she rolled out of bed and strolled to the Octagon, the other matches she seemed very focused on putting in the work...So being a Rockstar does take a lot of energy.

That last paragraph is telling. She Iooked pretty bad physique wise. Wouldn't be surprised if she was on PEDs before the new drug policy

I knew nothing about homes but she had the look of someone that was on a mission and she actually looked bulky kinda like. I dont know, she actually fights.


As soon as my nikka was like yeah she boxes and has a mean high kick and has not really been taking down, I thought to myself time to hit the boat and make this money. I didn't do it because I was lazy and now I'm kicking myself.




Karma is a bytch, and Rhonda is eating that bytch out.

Holly Holm is 34 she's got way more wear and tear than ronda because she's been in combat sports longer

olympic judo is not fightng I'm sorry, you are not taking the kind of damage boxers and kick boxers do

Ronda is always stocky when she fights, she looked exactly the same

All you have to do to beat ronda is train armbar defense the bytch has nothing to go after that, she's not a great fighter

period

when people took away Anderson Silva's stand up, he still finished them with bjj, that's why he was great

ronda just got beat by a way better fighter that's it,

Why? The rematch will do big numbers. Ronda is not going to be around fighting for much longer, no point in protecting her.

Exactly, the rematch alone will bring in viewers, if you put it on a super card like UFC 200 that's big business. Some dudes on here really have no business acumen :scust:

Holm has been in striking arts for a lot longer which gave her the advantage over Ronda. I was merely stating it is too late in the game for Ronda to become a formidable striker based on her age and damage accrued from her previous Judo and MMA experience.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with the notion Judo isn't a fighting sport, sure there aren't strikes, but the concussive effects are devastating and it is an effective form of combat. I will however concede that striking arts such as Muay Thai, Western Boxing, and Kickboxing practitioners have a higher threshold for damage and destruction. In MMA you can't rely on one signature move or style for very long and Ronda was very lucky to have cans for most of her championship run. Ronda is just another version of Karo Payrisian and was fortunate enough to live in the NFC-East of the UFC.

You are correct about Silva, MMA is Darwinism at its finest, sink, swim, or Bellator it out of there....

believe me, i think Ronda has a face like a smacked ass but people think she's pretty for some fukkin reason


It's amazing what makeup and lighting can do. In the ring she looks terrible, but with the makeup, lighting, hair done, she looks fairly attractive. Taking her home will have you like :obama: But when you wake up in the morning........... :huhldup:

When was the last time Honda threw a leg kick? Or went for a double leg?

Ol girl is one dimensional.. And in this game if you don't constantly evolve the opposition will eventually catch you up #NoRoyce

She should go to AKA or Tristar to work on wrestling and striking
