Essential The Official MMA Thread

Just got back from a watch party

I have such a weird feeling about this fight card. It's lowkey giving me the same vibes as UFC 165. Where everybody thought Alexander was some can and Jones was going to easily run through him. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if this fight ends up being more competitive than people think, or if Holm's were to land a surprise ko (Ala Silva vs Weidman).

Holm has much more experience than Correia and has a solid boxing background as well holding several championships with WBF, WBC, WBA, WBAN, IBA, etc. Correia just started fighting in 2012. Holm has been boxing since 2002 and transitioned into MMA in 2011. I know everyone wants Cyborg/Ronda and it will eventually happen, but Holm will be the biggest threat to Ronda yet. Especially when it comes to striking and kicking.


Carreia's MMA record prior to Rousey: 9-0 (2 TKO, 7 Decisions)

Holm's MMA record prior to Rousey: 9-0 (5 TKO, 1 KO, 3 Decisions)


Holm's Professional Boxing Record: 33-2-3

Used to search engine to find my posts so that I could back this up, but I've been calling Holm for the upset for a long time.

Came in here just to say:
2. Tate has power punching now? Still not much hope against Ronda but at least she knows how to survive unlike the rest of the decision. I still got Holly Holm as my sleeper to score the upset once she gets more comfort, her footwork and elusiveness give her the best chance of not getting grabbed and worked by Ronda. Plus she's got the best hands in the division.

I've said for a while now, Holm has the BEST SKILLSET to take on Rousey. That's not to say she'll win, I think it's too early for this match...but her evasiveness, footwork and hands give her an ability to control distance are the abilities I've been dying to see Ronda deal with. This is a unique test for her and who knows how her gas tank would hold up if she didn't grab Holly early on (which is a lot harder than she gets credit for). I'm expecting a Bethe Correia type odds line and I'll risk the money on a bet because I think Holm has a better shot than she'll be given by the masses. She could get smoked though, I wish she got another two fights before this...one vs a grinder and one vs a top 5'er.

I can't even imagine how Ronda fans feel this morning. There's no worse feeling as a sports fan than waking up after seeing one of your favorites lose like that, and the first thing that hits you mind as you get out of bed is a reminder of the ether you caught the night before

Glad I'm not one of them

When JDS lost to Cain, that shyt just ruined my week. You probably felt the same when Weidman beat Vitor.

That hurt, but nothing hurt as bad as the Silva fight.

That KO will never go away. It's literally in every UFC compilation highlight package that's been made since

Every time you see a UFC compilation/highlight reel you're ready to look away.

Alves is the dude that got injured so Masvidal is going to replace him in South Korea to face Benson.

Especially the ass whoopings you can't explain away as they just got caught. The Fedor v Big Foot fight was my moment. Folks I hadn't talked to in years hit me up to rub that one in
