Should Holly be kicking herself for not just taking it easily and waiting for the Ronda rematch?
Or do you think that fight would have never happened if Holly destroyed Tate?

How much do you think Holly would have made if she waited for the rematch and just trained in the meantime?

If she just waited on the rematch and worked hard on her ground game, do you think she would've beated Rousey (again) and then Tate?

Do you think Dana is happy or sad right now?
 
Rousey will not fuck around this time, will go for the sweep and armbar her in the 1st round
Easier said than done though
 
Dana is furious right now.

They should do Holly vs Ronda rematch and have miesha defend against nunes
 
Lol dana shit on the sport, the sport kill dana's cash cows

Sweet karma
 
Do you think just because Holly lost means that Ronda doesn't want to fight her anymore? Holly is the girl who took out Ronda, you can guarantee that rematch will happen with or without the belt if Ronda ever plans on coming back.
 
She did what a fighter does and that's fight.

No telling when or if Ronda would have ever decided to face her again. Fighters win or lose but they fight. And she isn't the type to be destroyed by a loss which was evident in her boxing career. She can get the belt again.

Furious? Ronda did not want to face Holly again and Dana didn't want that either. Ronda is the cash cow, and they are foaming at the mouth thinking this is her easiest path back to the belt since she's beaten Miesha twice.
 
Holm just needs another training camp focusing on defending her back and she can beat Rousey & Tate.
 
No, I think it was a good lesson for her.

She had to be reminded that striking + TDD + ignoring grappling = something that cannot work in MMA each and every time.

Better sooner than later.

...uh... Yeah I do think that... Ronda is in it for the cash not cause she heart. She's scared of holly and she sees no incentive in it for her to fight if there's no title belts involved $$

Not sure but im sure it's pretty significant. Im sure she made out very well tonight but who knows....it might have been another 2 million in her pocket if she waited.
 
Nope. She already got her contract signed. My guess is that she might even make more if Ronda is the champ when they have the rematch. Well, maybe not more, but probably at least nearly as much.
 
No. It's likely Ronda will beat Miesha and defend against Holly. The question then becomes, who does Holly fight next?
 
RHHHHonda should have to go thru Holly to get to Meisha.
 
Yes, I think there's a strong possibility Holly screwed herself out of a multi-million dollar fight. From a business perspective I think Holly was dumb to not wait for Ronda. However, looking at it from the perspective of her being an athlete who wants to compete, I respect her decision.

I've said before I think Ronda would likely win a rematch but also felt Holly had a good shot at winning again. After last night I think the odds are very very very heavily stacked in Ronda's favor. Before last night: 60% Ronda would win & 40% Holly. After last night: 95/5 in favor of Ronda.
 
I like that Holly wanted to defend her title and not wait for the money fight. Plus Miesha deserved it. Holly did miss out on that payday but another way to look at it is she didn't earn it. She's a warrior and she proved it with her actions.

Now, let's have Holly fight Cyborg like she's willing to do, at a catchweight, and let Rousey/Tate 3 happen. Will be rooting for Miesha, as always.
 
Holm took a risk for sure. If she wins the rematch is even bigger. She lost and the rematch is still alive but it will be less money.
