If you look at the fight you'd see Rousey was trying to close distance, she had a clinch against the cage but lost it, and was even attempting an arm bar when they were on the ground. Holm was able to power out everytime and kept distance. She couldn't do her judo and jiu jitsu because she couldn't close the distance and she was exhausted from taking a world class ass beating in the first round. For the rematch, Ronda either needs to become a better striker or find a way to close the distance. Because I'm pretty sure Holm is gonna stick with a similar strategy. |
Rousey tried to stand up with her, hence why she gave chase. She only got ahold of her once, seriously and holm took her down which was a waste of an effort. She cant outbox the girl so out judo and jiu jitsu her. Simple. Watch any analyst. They will tell you the same. I guarantee you the second match will be better. These are great fighters but Rousey played dumb and she was shown up. Its as simple at that.
