Who cares if you're not sold on Holly Holms or Holly Holm, I'm sure neither woman is losing any sleep. Like everyone says, it's Holly Holm bro, at least get that right.
I don't want Holly to die. She's a nice girl.
I'm not impressed before she shows that she can more than just strike and knock people out - a few submission wins would be necessary before I recognize Holly as a true champ.
She didn't need to be on the same level as Holm on the feet. She needs to be good enough to close the distance. Plus Tate holds a distinct advantage on the ground. Tate's not going to do body lock TDs. She's going to do wrestling style TDs. Doubles, singles, knees taps. Completely different stuff than she saw vs Rhonda.Yr trippin. Takedown Tate is a gatekeeper she doesn't bring the same level of striking as Holm she's getting finished.

We shall see who the better lady fighter is in a couple weeks. May the best woman win. I'm on Team Tate.
I think Holms beat Rhonda, whoever the hell they are.
Didn't think the UFC would actually do the fight since they were protecting Ronda.
that girl ronda hip toss and punch her face was a can.I get that Ronda is a trainwreck and was often a poor winner and bragged about being able to beat people she would never fight. So the blowback makes sense. BUt let's not get unhinged here.
This particular claim gets accepted at face value too often around here despite being contrary to the facts. The UFC never protected Ronda. They consistently put her up against the best fighters on their roster and then went out of their way to try and sign ladies like Holm to fight her. Bethe was a gimme no doubt about it, but the rest were the top of the UFC women's bantamweight division, such as it is.

I want to see Holly beating a top fighter who is not aggressively trying to clinch or outstrike her.
Yet. She will need to beat the shit out of meisha tate on the ground. I never even heard of holly holms until she beat ronda. Are you guys sold?
