You can tell they are going easy on her. Somewhere along the line she thought she was a wrestler too. She wouldn't go for takedowns in a fight unless she found some success in the gym. What did she do when she got mounted or under under control? If they went hard on her; her response will be totally different instead of constantly going into the fire where she can be taken out of her element.
this really sounds like all the CM Punk fan boys that thought Roufsport did not do a good job training him on purpose for whatever reason. I'm sure they beat his ass off camera many times in that training room. he just wasnt that good even after he trained for years. fanboys looked to find every excuse for why he got humiliated.
you see talented bjj guys and wrestlers utilize bad gameplans all the time and fall in love with their hands. some of them actually found success with their striking in the cage.
Koscheck comes to mind. He legit kod people. of course he got beat up standing many times as well and should have focused more on his wrestling/grappling. sometimes guys say they strike more because of injuries from wrestling but often they just fall in love with their hands.
Rousey actually finished opponents with strikes. did she have a coach that gave her a bad gameplan repeatedly and might have given her false confidence in her striking ability? yes but she still finished opponents with standing strikes multiple times. when she went against better strikers of course she got humiliated but this confidence in her striking didnt come out of nowhere
shields is at a world class camp training with one of the best wmma fighters in the world. holm is a good striker and all around mma fighter.
do you think she is letting shields take her down?
