    Holm has the stay away and avoid the ground game for 3 rounds and then Rousey is all her's in the championship rounds, where Holm will knock her the fuck out with strikes.

    Of course, that's easier said than done.

    Holm will be lucky if she lasts more than a minute.

    As I've said before, women's MMA is still in it's infancy, and Rousey is the Royce Gracie of today. When MMA was in it's infancy, Royce's BJJ was so far superior to anything else anyone brought to the the table, it made him the dominant fighter of the day. That's how it is with Rousey and her Judo. She is so much better than every other female fighter in the sport because her Judo is stronger than anything any of the other female fighters are bringing.

    I disagree with this btw. unless you are saying that Judo is in WMMA what BJJ was to mens. These woman today are pretty damn good in BJJ. Some much better than Ronda.

    Ok I get how these dumb bitches get taken by Ronda's superior judo but holy shit what's up with not knowing how to defend a damn arm bar? Especially since you know that's all she's got.

    Defending the armbar is easy when you feel it coming. Ronda's too fucking quick and she does a maneuver preventing them from rolling with it. I think the only person that actually got out of it was Tate in their first fight.

    Fuck man Ronda dislocated that arm and Tate actually pulled it back into place to get out of that armbar. SICK

    I think Tate is the 3rd or 4th best 135 pound female in the world. But she was brutalized by Rousey twice and was beat senseless by Zingano.

    I am not sure if I'd rank Nunes ahead of her yet but I think Amanda will win if they fight.

    By the way, just because the folks on here disagree with your assessment that Meisha would win more fights out of 100 vs Rousey than she would lose, doesn't mean she's underrated. It really points more to you overrating her.

    I agree with you but far more strongly. Comparing Rousey's run to Royce's is apples to oranges. Most of the girls Ronda has faced over the last 3 years have been well-trained in all aspects of MMA. They know Judo. They know BJJ. That is completely different than guys like Jimmerson or Shamrock in the early days of Royce Gracie.

    As you mentioned, Ronda has actually faced girls with far better BJJ. Hell, Alexis Davis is a black belt and had been practicing BJJ for almost 15 years by the time she stepped in the cage with Rousey.

    Even more importantly, Gracie's overall MMA game, by today's standards, was weak. The dude never came close to knocking anyone out. Judo is Ronda's core skill but she's beaten girls on the ground, at boxing distance and in the clinch.

    Who is the second or third best 135 pounder? Also, she and Cat both beat the fuck out of each other.

    Also, when i say she is underrated around these parts, i am referring to people on here that actually called her garbage.

    What Ronda's judo does it give her excellent balance and leverage, but these girls arent just nobodies in the sport. Tate & Carmouche are both purple belts in BJJ and that is an advanced belt that takes years to achieve.

    I've got Zingano at 2 based on her beating both Tate and Nunes head-to-head. I'm OK with either Tate or Nunes being at 3 and 4.

    Given Zingano's inactivity, she'll slip soon.

    Womens MMA is a joke. Seriously. There is a serious lack of skill in the sport in general. Women simply are just not meant to be fighters.

    Just saw the weigh in and Ronda looks DRAINED...

    Probably won't matter but it was noticeable to me.

    Ronda Didn't Look "Drained" as She AGGRESSIVELY Walked Towards Holm for the Post Weigh-In Staredown...To Her Credit, Holm WASN'T the Least Bit Flustered and STOOD Her Ground....

    None of Which Will Actually MATTER This Time Tomorrow, but it was Still Good to See Ronda ATTEMPT Intimidation Tactics and Get REBUFFED as Bad as REED's Ever Seen, by Her Opponent....Holly Holm "Won" the Weigh-In, Undoubtedly...Who Else has Even Done THAT Much w/Ronda???...

    Undoubtedly, Holm Will Employ a Stick & Move/KICK & Move Strategy...Sooooo, If Ronda is Deadset on Beating Holm in a Standup Boxing Match, Shit Could Get VERY Interesting...More than Likely, Ronda "Boxes" w/Holm Initially, Then Eschews It After a Round or So, OR @ the 1st Hint of Genuine TROUBLE, Whichever Comes 1st...

    This Paticular Weigh-In Definitely WASN'T 1 of Ronda's More ENDEARING Moments...

    She Was Clearly Trying to INTIMIDATE Holm w/the Overtly Aggressive Power Walk Towards Her, After Getting Off the Scale...THEN, She Wants to MANUFACTURE Some Sense of "Disrespect" Because Holm HELD Her Ground & Got the Upperhand in the "Battle" for OUTSIDE Fist Position???....

    that was an embarrassing promo by Rousey. Like Anthony said, she seemed drunk. must have been a bad weight cut or something.
