I hear ya, but not even deviating from strikes as much as not being able to throw anything but the same telegraphed 2-3 piece followed by a high kick. Hell, she switched it up slightly in the 5th where she still threw the 2-3 but ended it with a lower kick to the body that caught Cyborg off guard.

The reason Holly's right eye was messed up was cuz at some point Cyborg was like, yea ok you gon throw the same 2 punch sequence and get exposed on your right side, and i'm gon load up and punch the shyt out your face every time. That damn near took her head off a few times.

You acting like Holly's 1-2 ain't one of the best in women's mma/boxing and also the safest thing she could've thrown in the sense that it kept Cyborg stationary and not throwing overhand rights sending her head into the bushes

you don't "get creative" against legends :dwillhuh:

also, that right hook that Holly was getting checked with is straight up inconsequential at her weight class. you really acting like people just jump weight and throw hands with the hardest hitter in the sport like its nothing

:why: Miesha was not "green" by any stretch of the imagination when she fought Ronda. Miesha was one of the most experienced female fighters back then

let me be clear. I mean more along the lines of Ronda fought a decent Miesha who was a good matchup for her. Other than that her comp sucked. She got used to be able to maul chicks with piss poor standup or soccer moms. Once the talent level went up she was done.

I saw them fight in Strikeforce before UFC. Poor wording on my end.

Not only throwing the same sequence of strikes over and over, but telling you when I'm going to throw it by yelling "ish ish ish" everytime. With Holly's physical gifts she should be way better than she is.
