Holly Holm back in the gym, practicing RNC defence

[FightsFTW]

Good for her, she was supposed to go on vacation after this last fight, but this must have lit a fire under her ass, I fully expect Holly to wreck her next opponent.

 

[MMAart]

A former MMA champion goes to practice on the following Monday after her fight to learn how to defend a rear naked choke. That just seems kinda sad, that's all.

Sad? LOL, I supposed there are more positive things for her to do following a loss, such as going on Ellen and talking about her wanting to have babies?

 

[wlu29]

is that Jardine?

Yup dean of mean

 

[IMSAYIN]

Everybody will be like ¨Oh my God she is such a hard worker, blah blah blah¨. She is only doing what she is supposed to. She is not supposed to get out of shape and become a walking whale like Ronda Rousey.

She is a high level pro athlete so she is supposed to get back to the Gym and keep working.

Buddy... She fought Saturday... She was in the gym on Tuesday.

Blow it out your ass.

 

[Ceez]

Came to see troll thread but I'm not leaving disappointed. Thanks TS

Blow it out your ass.

So what? I am supposed to be impressed that a world class pro athlete is back in the Gym 3 days after she fought, buddy?

 

[Count Zero]

Isn't it crazy ... back to back women's BW title fights ending with the champ losing her belt and losing limb control ...

 

[VAfan]

she needs to practice being Efficient. i hear that works wonders.

I think Holly just went into panic mode whenever she was taken to the ground by Miesha.
It seemed like her mind went blank due to fear and all she did was try to get up as soon as possible.

 

[thoughtsone]

Yep. It's one thing to believe/know it's her weakness and its another to prove it.

Holly should train more for defending how she got into that position as opposed to being in it but its all good. If she improves her weakness that only makes her strengths that much better.

Fair enough. Thats a reasonable way to look at it. I think I just don't like the word exposed, but your response is rational.

 

[deviake]

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Holly Holm is a true martial artist and fearsome competitor. Back in ye olden days she'd have armor on and be cutting people's heads off with savage force.

 

[Philly253]

Is that the dean of fuckin mean?!

 

[Project 86]

holly's mistake was standing up she should of just rolled to her back

 

[Iron-Fists]

Love this girl! Determined as fuck to get better and get that strap back.

Good on ya, Holly.

Well I mean aside from losing the fight, it's not like she took any significant damage of any kind.

Miesha didn't take any significant damage either.

 

[Recounter]

I think the reason she lost her belt is in part her inability to knock out her opponent decisively.
She was just a point fighter hoping to get more points by the end of 5th round. That's the half of the reason she lost.
The other half is that she failed at defending RNC.

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

it's clearly a useless troll

Damn, you must be one of those rare Brasilians of Irish descent.

Quite defensive these past few days.

Anyway, good on Holly. She seems to handle losses well.

Back in the gym 3 days after a punishing fight in which she had victory and her world title snatched from her grasp in the most dramatic way possible? That's extraordinary, is the exception to the rule, and it goes to explain why she's held world titles in both boxing and MMA. Few ex-champs have that kind of drive. Don't just brush it off as "whatever, that's what everyone does." The woman is a legend of combat sports, achieving something nobody else has with her championships in both boxing and MMA, and she's a class individual with a serious thirst for work.

And lol… The thread title is: "Back in the gym practicing".
