It's like people have no idea how she won her fights before Holm. They have no explanation as to how she gets into the clinch at all.
Ronda never tried to strike, she just failed to clinch.
Actually that's not even the whole truth. When she got there she got shoved away like an annoying gnat.

Holm had to defend several hip throws in their fight and defended an arm bar on the ground too. People still claim Ronda thought she tried to outbox Holly.
No need to kick a dead horse Ronda failed to evolve with the sport. But she convinced Dana to open up WMMA in the UFC so she will always be a pioneer. Am I a fan? No but the first time it was her talking all this shit. Now she lost to a better fighter and people still want to kick a dead horse. It's over she had a remarkable run.Yeah, I didn't understand how people could walk away with that assessment at all. She was desperate to get into the clinch after the first few clean shots that Holm landed.
Absolutely, this really is a point that's largely overseen imo.This. For all of the talk about Ronda facing decent strikers for the first time, she also seems to have serious issues with opponents who are larger and too strong to be pushed around.
Herb Dean should have also taken a point for Ronda grabbing the cage.
Maybe it's just me, but if she just can't walk forward and get the clinch, maybe she needs to learn to be patient and not just walk into punches. Maia is a one trick pony, but he at least knows how to get the fight where he wants it instead of just marching forward into shots.
