im gonna have to disagree with that. even after her 2 lackluster performances, i still think holm has the style to give ronda problems and even beat her. she hasn't lived up to the hype which i think is probably a good thing for her. im pretty sure her team don't want ronda now. let's face it, she's a winklejohn project :manny: . she even admitted after her last fight, she not looking to be in a fotn or take any punishment. we might be looking at the female version of john fitch who just grinds out boring ass decisions using her standup.

at the same time, she needs more improvement on her grappling. it aint something you can learn over night, we've seen holly on her back once and she looked like a fish out of water. i went back and watched her last fight, and its obvious she wants no part of grappling with anyone.
She did admit that she is a work in progress. All she needs to do is box these chicks. She's over thinking her strategy and it's quite apparent she gets overwhelmed with the thought of being kicked or being put to the ground. It's not that serious. She literally can hold her own with most of these girls just with her stand up, I would like to see her against Tate. Holm problem is she's timid, she's not john Fitch.
Then her drawing power is killed. She will have the lose over her head and if cyborg isn't coming to her class what's the point? And then what would cyborg do if she wins? Go back to invicta and can crush? Too much of a risk/lose-lose for everyone.
The fight is out there because that is who people believe can beat Ronda. But it is what it is. There aren't a lot of women who are high known quality fighters so this is the closest we get.

The gold standard for women's mma, huh? :beli:


This is the "elite" level striking that gets these girls stretched out in 30 seconds or less, huh? :beli:


An "honor" to call her fights Joe? :camby:



This shyt legit reminds me of Brian Stann vs Wanderlei Silva (with even worse technique) and the fact that this is what gets her crowned as the most dominating female athlete is laughable. I can't think of any other sport where the level of competition is so elementary but the champion is still hailed for their extraordinary accomplishments. It genuinely blows my mind.
