Holm is actually a tougher fight for Rousey stylistically. She has an incredible boxing record but that hasn't translated really well into the UFC tbh. Her boxing looks nothing special but her kicks are amazing. I'm not sure how she'll do in the clinch but she's lanky and may survive.
The best thing she has shown in her UFC fights is the ability to stay out of range and using her reach to keep her opponents at kicking range. She's very patient and you can see that her experience shine through in that aspect. This is a good fight to make because at the end of the day, unlike Correia (who was a can), Holm is a legit competitor for Rousey. Maybe she can also rant off about how this was a boxing vs MMA fight and this is what she'll do to Floyd.
imagine she lost though? ) then we can say boxing > MMA 
messing, man that would be a huge upset. Will tate get the 3rd fight? reading around the net the impression is that she will not, if that's the case then Cyborg could be a possible opponent for her next and it's the next big fight after Rousey

[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] [MENTION=137238]Anchorman[/MENTION] if holmes win tonight, I will jump off a cliff
If Holm wins, I'll catch you on your way down.
With such a crap chin. Doubt it. The way she lost this fight, her opponents from now on, will always stand a feet taller when stepping in the ring with her.
) Going by these comments everyone made it seem as if Ronda was dominating Holms who caught her with one of her kicks. Surely those who actually watched the fight wouldn't be saying things like "Ronda will Kill Holms in the rematch" lmao Holms was totally dominant throughout the fight she controlled distance beautifully and gave Ronda plenty of problems with her left hand and movement; even took Ronda down! that got to be a huge psychological scar and then the way she made her look like a complete amateur by ducking under that left hook was incredible. Honestly in the rematch I'd be backing Holms. [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] it's not going to be easy for Ronda to come back from that but it's possible, Holms absolutely destroyed her.
) ) Am a fan of Ronda but honestly that girl got a chip on her shoulder
) he's going to watch the replay whilst trying not to see the updates for UFC 193, am tagging you! don't be a jobber! lets bury these C- Players:dalmiya
[MENTION=137419]dashing_man[/MENTION]
"The Streak...is over"
"My client Holly Holm conquered the Streak!"
) )
). Anyway if Ronda does decide to take her ball home and decide she no longer enjoys getting hit in the face now that she knows what it actually feels like she could always follow in the footsteps of Brocky 
The straight left did the most damage at the end there; it was only a matter of time after that but Holms used the kick to finish her off Mortal Kombat/Tekken Style
)
[MENTION=137419]dashing_man[/MENTION] we all know how Ronda wants to be a WWE star, I think Dana wanted her to put Holms over on the way out
) ) Ronda was sour, didn't do post fight interview 
[MENTION=137419]dashing_man[/MENTION] I kinda called it didn't I
)
[MENTION=137238]Anchorman[/MENTION] is trying his best to avoid PP for today
People other places are saying Ronda lost like Brock as he did to Cain
) ) Holms was a better challenger then Douglas and generally expected to give Ronda her toughest fight.
Twitter is the worst spoiler channel today. You just can't dodge the Power of Twitter
) when the Taker streak ended I sent everyone a message )
lol just don't click on it and turn your notifications off, unless someone texts you or sends a message on whatsapp then you're screwed; I always do that to my jobber friends
spoiled all the fun though I was the one who called it
do you didn't
Its me, its all me. I jinxed Ronda
I posted that if Holm wins I will jump off a cliff. Am waiting for [MENTION=137238]Anchorman[/MENTION] cuz he said he will catch me
) epic gimmick [MENTION=47617]Red Devil[/MENTION] is going to make his debut in Ring of Jobbers with that gimmick and am going to be his manager
I love that nickname lmao, sounds kinda badass in a weird way.I didn't claim Ronda was going to defeat Holms and I said Holly has a better chance then her previous opponents so it was me! it was me all along! Seriously though am so happy for Holly, she's such a nice person and a real sweetheart really happy for her and her family. Guess what her nickname is? "The Molvis Daughter"

) #PipeBomb
It has been deleted by the user but this is what Miesha Tate said:
""I'm Effing stoked," Tate said. "Honestly, Eff Ronda Rousey. Eff her and her nobody has the right to beat her -- well, you just got beat, biatch!"
""I'm proud of Holly. She had the perfect, flawless game plan," Tate said. "She came in here tonight and she's the champion and I look forward to that fight because I think I'm next in line."
) 
[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] Tate beats Holms for the title and then loses again to Ronda
I can see the writing on the wall for this one
) I was thinking the same. Miesha has a better chance of beating Holms then Ronda given that her style; she's a lot more patient, technically gifted in that her work is smart and on the ground no one can beat her when it comes to wrestling; in recent times she has improved her striking to and has pretty decent power to go along with that granite chin.
Ronda should let her fight Holms and hopefully Tate wins the title and then Ronda invoke her rematch
I thought that wouldn't come until Rousey retired
but nice to learn some stuff for once beyond all the trolling when it comes to those discussions
She just needs a good old grilling mara prah WOOOO! Fir sab kich teek oyjasi, also thanks for your posts in that thread I will have to get back to it and learn about some of the history chistry at some point but kasme tusah ithnee shaar oh my head was about explode taking in all that info
Also did you know majority of the old school attitude era fans jumped to MMA? most of their hardcore fans were big fans of ECW, the AE era etc Anchorman grew up as a wrestling fan that made the switch
) Say gal ah, oh ithni changi kerni si keh oh chan gi si mai ithna critical uski na karnah kiyun keh oh pro-wrestling ki izzat karni jisrah MMA neh fan boh begairut eh laykin oh fir vi izzat karni tha usne maruh mai uski respect karna ah. Honestly Adil they are 10x more retarded and fickle then WWE marks
They are so insecure and desperate for mma to be the undisputed king of sports entertainment. Damn it. Mma is exciting but boxing has a greater tradition and a glorious history. And just more popularity amongst the masses.kasme tu say zhoor kar paray vich tha fir sareya mirpuri ki deport kar please

Wow. That's the only way I can describe yesterday. I know you've been waiting for me to give my thoughts about this fight ever since it happened, but I only just got well enough to type. I was actually sick on the day of the fight and once it happened, I actually got so sick, I spent the rest of the day getting IVs.
Back to the fight, shazzy. I knew that it would be practically impossible to avoid the result of this fight since Ronda is such a public figure these days, so I actually went to a friend's place and watched it live. This event popped his cherry when it came to being a UFC fan. He's a big Ronda fan and couldn't understand why I hated her so much. I explained to him as elaborately as possible how difficult it was to like her when she came up with pompous statements like she can beat Cain Velasquez/Floyd/95℅ of male bantamweights. Then you had her random rant about Holly before the fight calling her fake and a ***** when she has been nothing but respectful and her antics at weigh-in. Combine that with her unsportsmanlike behavior and you've pretty much got the perfect heel.
The event itself was a dud tbh and the record crowd was an absolute bore. For a city that had been starved of MMA, they were simply awful. Other venues in Australia were much better.
Then came the actual fight that we had been waiting for. As soon as Holly's music hit and she came out, my friend and I looked at each other and laughed. I told him that I had never seen a Rousey challenger look so calm and determined. Holly's stoic expression was chilling. It was as if she knew something that we didn't. She simply had the one thing that nobody else that had fought Rousey had - championship experience. She had conquered another sport before. She knew what it felt like to have the world at her feet except she had that fame in an even bigger sport. She knew that if she let her training take over and just do whatever the best trainer in MMA taught her, she would win. She knew that this was the time to write her name down in the pantheons of MMA greats forever. She knew it was now time to conquer another sport.
It was not just me who felt this way either. The vegas odds agreed with me. Holm's odds started at +2200 and by fight time, the odds had gone down to just +800.
Holly simply fought the perfect fight. She fought like someone who had been in the gym 15-17 hours a day for 4-5 months. She fought like someone who had been preparing to beat Rousey ever since she picked up MMA gloves. She knew what Ronda was going to do because Ronda told her multiple times during interviews. She knew Ronda would bull-rush her and she would cut angles and keep her distance. Ronda played double-bluff trying to actually strike with a boxing Hall of famer. She got rocked. She tried to fall back on her judo and when Holly stuffed her first armbar attempt and actually took her down, Rousey was done. She had the self-belief drained out of her and the KO was inevitable. And the KO..my my..was it glorious. Been an MMA fan since over a decade and NEVER have a screamed louder and actually pinched myself to see if this was real. It was. Holly Holm had conquered who the UFC hype machine called a "Once Ever" athlete.
Holly's interviews after that have only enhanced her reputation further. People think Ronda can beat her in a rematch but it wasn't like it was a fluke KO. She outclassed Ronda in every aspect. Yes, Ronda will come in with better striking in the rematch but Holly will come in with much superior grappling as well. We won't see that fight for a year though as Ronda has broken her jaw. I don't see Tate winning against Holly either but you never know with Meisha. She's a tough cookie. You can't bet against Holm now though.
So yeah, in all my years of watching MMA, this was the biggest upset. Yes, even bigger than Silva/Weidman, TJ/Barao and GSP/Serra. It's also worth noting that I have never seen the MMA community so unified in rejoicing a fighter's loss. The casuals may have loved her and she may have brought a ton of new fans to the sport but the hardcore community will be glad that there will be no more Floyd/Cain/Leila Ali talk, the ONCE EVER bull**** and questions of how many men she can beat. Trust me, as a hardcore fan, we are glad to see the back of the Ronda Rousey legend.
) I want to grab you in a Mark Henry Bear Hug, hope you get well soon man.) bunch of jobbers I tell ya, one jobber goes Rousey will Kill Holms in the rematch
Come here you
) I said that Holms has a better chance then all her previous Rousey opponents and not once did i say Rousey was going to win, you have take me to Disney Land [MENTION=137238]Anchorman[/MENTION] ) screw it we take Eugene to ) [MENTION=137419]dashing_man[/MENTION]
Come here you
screw him
Disney Land here we come
only they would get it lol
Were you a fan of the Rocky Movies as well
I hope they don't kill Burt Young in this one. Hated when they killed Adrien 
of course it will be better than Southpaw, main reason is WWE ain't promoting it. WWE promotes all crappy movies.
I hope Rocky gives some phainty to someone in this movie and I want Paulie too
thanks for making me cry you tool
GOD i don't know how many times I've been teary watching Rocky and that's the only movie who connected to my heard, don't know why but it did
YES! YES! YES! Anchorman finally wakes up
*virtual bear hug* I know the feel bro. I went crazy after the finish and immediately wanted to post on PP and hear your reaction.
I know you are a hardcore fan of the sport and how your dislike for Ronda is justified because she is the perfect heel much like Floyd who is a bigger doucehbag tbh but even though the legend of the Rowdy one has ended you have to give it to her bro; she bought so many new fans to the sport and this is vindicated by her main-event status in a sport which has been dominated by the men for decades. On top of that no one can deny the impact she has had on female combat sport; Ronda has inspired a generation of female athletes which will be extremely healthy for the growth of female combat sport in general. And lets not forget all she has achieved prior to the loss against Holm, Olympians are on another level and Rousey was a league above her competition it's just that she happened to bump into a fighter who belonged in the same league and we can see that from Holms glorious boxing career where she defeated them all and became a champion 3 weight divisions.
Interesting analysis. Ronda certainly has inspired a generation of female fighters and I'd have to give her props for that. This is easily the biggest reaction to a female combat sports' fight I've ever seen. The fact that the aftermath is still going on speaks volumes of Ronda's ability but it also speaks volumes of the UFC hype machine. They certainly embraced the fact that Ronda/Conor were their cashcows and spent a bucketload of money on them and that certainly paid off as now a wider audience follows MMA.
You're absolutely correct about Olympians and the level of competition they have to face. This was pretty much the reason why Ronda was able to blow away the competition. Prior to the Holm fight, the biggest chance I gave to any of her opponents was to McMann who was a silver-medalist. However, credit to Ronda, who took some of McMann's bombs and got the clinch and landed a perfect knee to the liver.
I agree with Dana in that had Ronda succeeded with her tactics no one would have complained so lets not take anything away from Holms victory, Ronda defeated all her opponents in the same manner and the most pivotal moment of the fight for me was when Holms survived the Judo Takedown and then took Ronda down herself! also survived the clinch to! Thing is Ronda was so over-hyped that she became a victim of her own ability and then followed the ludicrous statements beating men etc but it's all about promoting a specific image to which proved to be a huge draw amongst the casuals. I didn't like her behaviour at the weigh in, Holms has conducted herself with nothing but honour and dignity; even after the fight! she went to Rousey and hugged her, she could easily have done a Lesnar on Mir but she didn't. Rousey knew exactly what Holms was capable of and yet their tactics were never going to change they thought they could get her out of there but Holms superior movement and striking ability was too much for Rowdy who was also trying to box with her; after walking into to those flush straight lefts for the entire round she was completely gassed after that while Holms barely broke a sweat! her strength and conditioning was incredible to she usually prepares for lengthy fights as it is given the boxing influence but dammit Amir! that was one thing that stood out for me Holms was in the BEST SHAPE OF HER life! like you said the time spent in the gym really showed.
Exactly. You simply can't give Holly enough credit. She's just a professional through and through. I also don't buy into the hype that the only reason Ronda lost was because she didn't implement her game-plan. Well, she sure as hell tried! It took Ronda LITERALLY one minute to realize that Holm was on another level striking and she tried to take her down, which got stuffed. That's when panic started to set and she started bull-rushing. Holm had been there and done that. She had been at the pinnacle of boxing and this kind of pressure was not new to her. The only thing that probably put her off was the fact that she had never been counted out like this before and that only served the purpose of spurring her on and work even harder. That showed in the fight.
Holms didn't even feel she was ready for Rousey yet! I think even she became a little influenced by the hype but was like you need to take the chances which come your way. And honestly [MENTION=137238]Anchorman[/MENTION] that finish was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in MMA, Holms not once tried to force her kicks and played of her boxing strength and only used them when absolutely neccesary and there was minimal risk and when she did decide to kick both caused quiet a bit of damage especially the side kick! before the finish though I feel Ronda was knocked out by the straight left the ref should have stopped the fight then imo or prevented the hammer fists after Ronda had absorbed the finishing kick but she was still being hit while unconscious I was very concerned for her health at the time. But man that finish from Holms was something out of a Mortal Kombat/Tekken Video Game! damn!
The only finishes that come close to this are the Weidman/Silva and GSP/Serra ones. In terms of fatality, this takes the bakery though.
Can Rousey come back? for me Holms will be the favourite in their next fight easily! bro i had not seen the fight and going by the posts in this thread everyone was making it out as if Rousey was dominating the fight before being KO'd
I'd say Rousey can come back but it will be tough now that the aura of invincibility is gone. She's pretty much out for the year and we'll have to see how this loss effects her endorsements and movie signings because if she feels those are dying down then she will either be completely deflated or it may spur her on and actually work on her game further.
