Honda- took 20 power shots to the head. Landed 0.

[Jorge Luis Borges]

She's the Royce of early WMMA

Good grappling but very one dimensional. Terrible striking.

True. but Royce had a better excuse. MMA was still so new. Ronda's career comes at a time when decent MMA striking training exists and is readily available.

Good chin tho. Tate curled up on a fetal position after a few powershot from Nunes.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

She came to the cage huffin n puffin all that for nothing. She got absolutely humiliated, Holm put a dent in Rousey's chin. It's pure glass now, Ronda looked like she was in a wind tunnel

Honestly, Ronda has a great chin. She ate a lot of heavy shots flush and never went down. Same in the Holly fight. Her striking defense is terrible, but she's tough and can eat a shot.

 

[Y'all Musta Forgot]

I remember the Mortal Kombat movies using the phrase "flawless victory" like 3 or 4 times, despite the winning fighter taking very obvious damage.

I haven't rewatched, but was this literally a flawless victory?

Maybe Ronda landed something soft/off-balance in one of those brief clinches?

Yeah if this was a video game Nune's health would be untouched. That was a one sided beat down, Rousey is broken mentally, her chin is shattered.

 

[Maroli]

I think she landed one jab.

You're a nice man.

Rousey has terrible defense so she was taking a ton of punches but she did not react well to any of them.
She was on queer street with every punch, her heart kept her in but her bad D and chin had her buzzed.

If she had even c level striking defense she would have recovered. Most top level fighters don't eat many flush punches in a fight, let alone dozens in a minute.

 

[Squintz]

Panic judo set in as soon as she got hit. She couldn't wrestle for shit, which would've helped, but instead she fished for the invisible gi that wasn't there. Had no idea how to cover up, which tells you that Edmond never let her really spar hard boxing at his gym. That's where you learn how to cover up. Really sad.

Edmond fucking ruined Ronda. He should've fired himself a long time ago and sent her off to a real gym. Hell, Karo's gym down the street would've been a big upgrade. Instead, that con artist kept property inside her head for his own selfish reasons. Really tragic story.

"Fished for the invisible gi" lmao fucking dead

Well, Honda and Tate both have horrendous most amateur level striking. But difference is that Tate was at least trying to punch.

 

[peytonlucy]

It looked like some of Cyborg's demolitions. Let's hope Nunes tests clean. ronda looked like Brock in the standup.

 

[peytonlucy]

If the ref didn't step in, ronda was about to employ the Fred Ettisch fetal defense system.

I definitely had flashbacks to Brock fights. But at least Brock could level change and shoot when in trouble. Honda just stiffens up, head straight up in the air, and goes on to reach for the head/neck area and gets lit up even more.

 

[SCTwins]

Ronda's face had a better connect % than Diaz when he was trying to punch BJ's fist with his forehead.
