Holly Holm Disappointment

BigMuffler said:
It would have been a draw if she didn't get submitted and Miesha won the last round.

Miesha is the best women's 135 fighter IMO. Or Ronda still, but with the NeoTate improvements, maybe not.

So Miesha beats a 1 dimensional striker so that makes her the best women's 135 pound fight lol.
 
Pretty much called this too. I assumed if there was a loss it would come from a Ronda rematch but the loss was the reason. February 16th in thread "What would make people dislike Holly Holm"

If Ronda beats her in a rematch you will see a lot of people bail. Which is unfortunate because Holly is super nice and really talented.

But don't kid yourself, a lot of the love for her is she gave Ronda haters what they wanted. There would never have been a fraction of the people showing her love just because she is the kind of person who deserves it. This just isn't a place where the majority give respect for the right reasons. Look how many people hate on GSP.

Over awesome opponents lol. Baars outstruck her so I think Holm can and she has been taken down in MMA before by lesser opponents than Tate.

If Frankie beats a one dimensional striker does it make him the best FW? That's how it goes... although I am also weighing Tate's improvements vs Ronda's advantages so it's hard to call between them.

Umm your logic is rock solid she got out struck by the best women kickboxer in a KICKBOXING MATCH LOL. So that means Holly is gonna out striker her in a MMA fight where takedowns are involve smh lol and Holly has no ground game lol.

I don't expect her to pose enough of a takedown threat to beat Holly the majority of the time, I did give her 3/10 though.

No that's not how it goes just because your rank as champion in the UFC doesn't mean she the best 135 in the world just means she beat Holly Holms who has no ground game lol.

Guess you never seen a Cyborg fight shes pretty well rounded and beats girl everywhere. She has a wicked ground game and takedowns.

Who is the best IYO, Ronda? Possible but NeoTate might have surpassed her.

Might again with the assumptions lol.

Well she did beat someone Ronda couldn't and looks like she has better cardio than Ronda now, better standup (defensively at least) and she probably always had better durability. Who's the best then IYO, Ronda or not?

So using MMA math now lol.
 
She was a 1 hit wonder. She is the buster Douglas of mma. She had her 1 shining moment and slept to a girl who is 0-2 vs rousey. She was supposed to be the light...remember #Hollybless?

Yea I don't either.

I don't dislike holly nor have a issue with her. I hate flip flopping internet scholars. Lol

You're in a very small minority bud, she has a huge fanbase still most of which understands there would be nothing to gain from a fight with Cyborg at this point.

Ah but if was rousey would you say the same? Hmmmmm

Wicked ground game? Good ground and pound yeah but she isn't exactly a submission artist. She has decent wrestling but even Miesha's takedown threat couldn't stop Holly Home from outpointing her for much of the fight.
 
she says one thing to the camera, and another behind the scenes. says she will fight anyone and wants to be very active and fight very often. but behind the scenes doesnt want it. typical
