If UFC want to save their biggest star...they better set up an immediate rematch..and tell ronda...NO fucking boxing for the first minute or two....cause you could see Ronda came out to punch with Holly that first left hand sorta woke her ass up..but she kept at it for another minute..then she got clip a few more times and she went for that desperate judo throw(whatever it's called) and Holm fought her off.... Immediate rematch....If Ronda wins...even if she struggle..hey the first one was a FLUKE...and if she losses again..then ITS over..but the UFC won't be able TO SELL her again as a big attraction....
Yeah, it's tough to think this is much of a blow to the UFC when they'll probably shatter their PPV record with that loaded card on December 12. Rousey was a huge draw and probably drew more crossover viewers than anyone in UFC history, so she's probably sold more PPV buys over her last 4 fights than another UFC fighter in a 4 fight span.
Ronda Rousey was the Biggest MAINSTREAM Star UFC's Ever Had (Save for Brock Lesnar) & There's Really NOT a Close 2nd to Her, in that Regard... REED
Btw, the not touching gloves thing is what turned most new comer fans off on rousey. This ain't boxing so not touching gloves is pretty common.. But boy did they not like it
I was in a bar and the crowd was cheering. Rousey was so damn tight. In the days prior to PEDs being so good, fighters used to get tired if they were tight and stupid. Rousey was tight and stupid and got tired. Getting hit a lot helped her get tired, too. It's hard to believe that Rousey didn't resort to wrestling as soon as she took one good punch. Right now, Rousey seems more like Brock than Tyson, although the more apt comparison is probably Mark Coleman/Maurice Smith.
Physically, Rousey looked good at the weigh in, but some others have pointed out she sounded verbally like something was wrong with her weight cut. She really put on a lot of weight between the weigh in and the bout, though. She looked a lot thicker than Holm. Like you say, Holm looks like a juicer with her low body fat, stomach muscles showing, and abnormally large traps.
Interesting to read back on this article, a technical breakdown Rousey's considerable flaws and how to exploit them. http://fightland.vice.com/blog/killing-the-queen-ronda-rousey
When Holly Holm knocked her out did the Australian commentators say: "When you beat a Legend, you become a Legend!"
