Hmm. Ronda is alot more aggressive than most MMA fighters and forces others to fight at close range. I'm sure the majority of the fighters she fought had the same game plan to fight. Holly will have a chance at beating Ronda if Rousey decides to keep the fight standing which she's been doing in the last couple of fights. 

I believe that Holly would be better off training to fight at close range/clinch and countering Ronda's throws over banking on keeping her distance from Ronda.

Yes, Rousey is aggressive and can make Holm fight close, thats not what im talking about. Zingano and a few others literally bull rushed at Rousey, they initiated the close quarters combat, that's something Holm is not going to do.

That is the worst game plan ever, a striker fighting in the clinch against a Judo Olympian attempting to counter throws? I don't mean to be rude but u must not know a lot about fighting if u think that is a wise strategy.


The reason why I said Holly should train for close range is because more than likely Holly's plan of keeping Ronda at a distance will probably fail. She really needs a solid plan B for Ronda. At the very least, learn how to strike effectively at that range and to snuff some judo throws. Otherwise Ronda will just eat a few jabs coming in, initiate a glitch and strike at that distance til Holly is knocked out or until ronda can just throw her then submit her.
