Honda looks less bad in retrospect

[BigMuffler]

seeing that even an elite male fighter (and former champion) considered to have good striking can be made to look foolish by technical distance striking and footwork. At least Honda got Rolly down once and knocked her off balance. WAR3 forever!

brave pro ronda post,kudos. Can only agree. Look at Mark Coleman vs Nogueira. What happened to Ronda has happened to many many people.

and yes R2 + 1 <3

I think there's a difference between being shut down and looking inept.

 

[knowsitall]

No, she still looks just as bad.

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Nice try but Umm... No.


She looked worse and because she talked all that trash and didn't tap gloves looked even more foolish lol.

Plus... She was out cold

please explain that

No, she looks just as bad as she ever did, and so does her division. Hendricks was never a dominant fighter at any point in his career and he was never considered a once in a lifetime athlete.

 

[HHJ]

Ronda actually landed good shots on Holm in the first round,that her team told her not to throw leg kicks anymore and stick to jabs

 

[Ancient Warrior]

please explain that

The gif is self explanatory.

I was thinking this fight looked a lot like Ronda/Holly. One fighter with over-inflated confidence in his brawling due to past successes getting picked apart by a technically superior striker who could control the distance.

 

[choke you]

It was all the pre fight disrespect she showed to a classy challenger who always showed respect for her. Then being outclassed in the fight like that was embarrassing to say the least.

 

[foogly117]

It was some godawful striking tho.
For a Title Holding Champion defending against a well-established striker.

Like it was really bad

Really

Really

Bad.

nobody said that Hendricks was once in a lifetime, could beat HWs, blah blah blah.
Ronda, after all the hype, looked much much worse.

The hype only matters if you buy into it,and if you bought into it,blame yourself.

She was pretty hurt by then, you can look worse when you're hurt I imagine lol.

 

[jjresq]

When did Hendricks become an elite striker?

 

[Jesus Freak]

No, she still looks just as bad.

Premature stoppage, IMHO.

Lol this guy. Go back under your rock Ronda fan, you guys still aren't allowed here.


Hendricks approached the fight like a warrior and went out like one too from a stoppage.

Ronda acted disrespectful and ignorant and was outstruck, outmaneuvered, TAKEN DOWN, and brutally KOd unconscious to the point where she might not return to MMA.
