Yeah I don't know how Ronda's training was but obviously they underestimated HOlm's stand up game...not sure why they would do that.  Ronda just walked into most of those punches and when she got up that last time she was nowhere near in a defensive posture.  

 

Her striking coach Edmund is an absolute idiot who has never coached a single successful fighter before Rousey. I mean just look at him between rounds, he literally told Ronda she was doing great and to keep it up. He should have said 'you just got your ass kicked, arm bar her in 10 seconds this round."

Yeah when he said that to her I was wondering what fight he was watching.  But honestly it looked like Ronda was just unprepared for this fight and there was nothing she could do.  You saw how she kept going after Holm just walking into those punches.  You don't walk straight into someone that can knock you out, that's just stupid.

And there's the kick that did it.  This is the first time I've seen Holm fight, read plenty about her before the match and have seen interviews with people talking about her boxing ability.  Haven't read a lot about her kickboxing ability but that was a perfectly timed kick right to the chin that knocked her out.  

I'm wondering if this was some kind of fluke though.  I mean if Rousey was a little more patient and not running her face into all those punches would Holm be able to hold her off on the ground?  They went to the ground 2 times I think (once with Holm taking Ronda down) but Holm did the smart thing and got back up.  So if you've seen more of this Holm chick fight, what do you think about her chances in a rematch were Ronda actually prepared properly.

The rest of Holms' fights in the UFC have been very boring and she squeaked out decisions in them. Because she's a counter puncher, and the rest of her opponents were smart enough to not just flat footed bullrush at her with their hands down and chins up like Frankenstein monsters. It really can't be overstated how bad Rousey's boxing is.

That's a much better angle.  Look at how perfect that kick was and how Ronda was totally in no position to defend herself from it.  She may have been a little bit stunned before that kick though.  

We'll get to see just how competitive Rousey is now.  She's going to have to change up her training which might mean getting rid of who trains her now.  I really didn't expect her to look so bad.  She didn't land a single meaningful punch or kick.  She wasn't able to close the distance at all without getting pummeled.

Man I wish I had put money on that. Spectacular fight from Holm. Everybody knew Ronda had abysmal stand-up but her dumbass coach convinced her otherwise instead of going for the arm bar.

Rousey's mom even said the same this past month. Said Edmund was a hack and the only reason anyone had heard of him was because he got lucky by training Ronda.

I'm guessing they'll be some management /coaching changes very soon.

If Ronda actually thought she could stand and box with a world champion boxer ,she's definitely been brain washed or she's just that dumb. I think like what happens to a lot of fighters she bought into her own hype. Stupid ass Dana white saying crap like they'd like to see her and  Mayweather. I'm sure she's questioning what the hell she was doing standing this morning.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
