Is that you Anita?

Still, Rousey didn't so much look like she was trying to back her into a corner or close the gap as she did like she was straight up boxing her. There never seemed to be any desperation as she was getting hit; she really stuck to her gameplan even when it was clearly not working. |
Ya she has had success rushing forward in the past because her previous opponents didn't have to footwork or technical boxing to keep her at bay and made the mistake of rushing toward her as well. There was a thread a few weeks ago about this fight and I said this was going to be her toughest fight because Holm isn't dumb enough to rush forward and brawl/initiate a clinch like previous opponents. I still thought Ronda would eventually get it to the ground and get a submission but the one time she got it there Holm defended the armbar and got right back up to the feet.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
Jesus watching that gif of the fight is awful. People ask me why I watch WWE and not real fighting... this is why. Hate seeing humans trying to knock each other out like that it's one of the most primitive activities you could ever take part in. Will happily stick to my Sports Entertainment rather than assaulting each other in a cage in front of cheering crowds.
Just to clarify I'm not against this because it's women fighting, I feel exactly the same about mens UFC stuff, just think it's sickening sport to cheer on.
Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Yeah, Holm was extremely prepared and had Ronda well scouted. The plan was executed to perfection.

I guess I feel this way, too. I used to be a cop and I actually had a chance to get my ass kicked by an MMA fighter in training (and boy, did he!) so I'm not a wimp and I'm not afraid of a little blood. Still, seeing Rousey go down like that--I don't know. It was like seeing somebody I know getting assaulted. Not my cup of tea. I used to love UFC at one point. Guess I'm just not the guy I used to be.
Excuse me for a moment, I actually like that game, White Knight Chronicles.

Oh come on. It's their choice and MMA and boxing is a good way to get peoples anger and stress out in a good way.
And these people live way better lives than those who drink , smoke and eat unhealthy food all the time
I wonder if ring magazine has enough time to stop the presses on their latest cover:
Looks like Holly, the real boxer should have been on the cover of ring mag...... The irony.
