Holly Holm UFC

And I thought the "Sara McMann beats Rousey for sure" people were being a bit premature. The Holm hype people are beyond ridiculous. Let's put this into perspective. Holm and Rousey both began their pro mma careers in 2011. Rousey has gone 7-0 against opponents with a cumulative pro mma record of 64-20, including 2 Strikeforce champions, 1 Strikeforce title challenger, and her opponents have compiled an 11-2 record in Invicta FC (the highest level of women's mma outside of the UFC). When Holm goes 6-0 in December by beating up another scrub, it will have been against opponents with a cumulative losing record in pro mma, including facing no one who's been even good enough to get a single fight in Invicta.

When her own coach (Winklejohn) says she's 12 months from being able to face the top women in the UFC, you can be sure it will be quite a bit longer than that.

You forgot to include the fact that not only is Holm behind Rousey on the MMA learning curve (despite having been a professional fighter for over a decade), but she also six years older than Ronda. Holly is already on the back side of her athletic prime while Ronda is just entering hers.
 
The female 135 division is getting better and better and it has only been in the UFC for 9 months. In a few years its going to be incredible
