Is Harrison -Rousey 2.0?

[Vampire life]

Sure seems like it.
I’ve never seen Harrison on her feet for more than one minute without a clinch or a td attempt

During that minute on her feet , I’ve seen her get cracked

I say she gets smoked and PFL lost 2 million dollars for her “championships”

Rousey relied solely on her judo to get wins and failed to develop other aspects of her game. Kayla has been working relentlessly to become more rounded without forgetting her grappling.

Kayla can’t strike but a lot of grapplers can’t. Instead of following in love with her hands she has worked on her wrestling/grappling and has wide variety of TDs and knows who to set them up.

I think she gives most girl in 135 problems and even captures the belt but I don’t think she will be a dominant champion.

That said Kayla having women that can actually challenge her in 135 is better for the division than her slaughtering everyone

 

[don't ask]

I'm a huge fan of Kayla, but I honestly can't judge how well she stacks up compared to Ronda. I'm really curious to see what other people say about it.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Her striking is passable for someone that was a straight grappler. It's better than Ronda's. As long as she fights smart, a lot of girls aren't going to be able to stop her grappling. Holly is a good first test.

 

[javjacob]

I dont know if anyone could have worse boxing skills at that level than Rousey.

 

[ChimRichalds]

She's definitely a bit more well rounded, I'm more concerned about how the fuck she makes 135 lol.

 

[dildos]

she may well be a bust according to @blaseblase

 

[ulysse]

Interesting matchup again, she defenitly have Rousey style. Let's see if she can make a run for the belt in the UFC

 

[cheesus]

She's a more talented fighter than Rousey but lacks the resume and accomplishments.

 

[Streeter]

Kayla is a beast at 135. I cannot believe she can make 135. She struggled Making 155 at times. Now she's going 20 lbs lighter. If she can cut n rehydrate she rag dolls any 135er on sheer strength alone. I gotta see her making 135 to believe it.

Kayla is better and stronger everywhere, better in the olympics by a mile and better at mma, especially in the wrestling department. Ronda never wrestled, it's a shame that Kayla didn't start MMA earlier, she's well past her prime at this point.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

I wouldn't mind seeing her fight GDR and seeing how good her striking actually is.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

I doubt it. Rondas whole approach to fighting was about pushing the pace and being aggressive both in stand up and on the ground. I don't really see that from Kayla. She seems to be more on the cautious end with her striking.

As for her ground game? Seems like Ronda was better in the scrambles on the ground and her submission game might be better too for mma. Though I have to say Kayla is much more diverse with her takedowns.

Will she garner the same amount of fans? Be as entertaining in her fights, flashy, etc. Have as many title defenses ? I'm going to have to go with no.

She's also turning 34 in a few months. Can't imagine Kayla being able to stay in peak form for too much longer

Meh, according to Edmond, Ronda was beating up Olympic boxers in practice. Lol

 

[LostMyBlackBelt]

I dont know if anyone could have worse boxing skills at that level than Rousey.

 

[theincognito]

No...

Ronda was actually walking through the best competition. Under 1 minute finishes a lot of the time.

Kayla has been fighting in a wasteland division - women's 155 - smashing cans, sure, but going to decisions any time she fought anyone with a pulse.

 

[Levi_]

The real question is if Kayla will make Rogan cry.

 

[Poirierfan]

Still better than Ronda.

 

[Poirierfan]

But can Kayla do this?!?!

She says she already made a test cut and it went fine.

Here's Ronda at 18 and Kayla at 15.
