Is marloes a better striker than HOLLY?

[Megatronlee]

i suppose I'm asking who do you think is better of the two and would marloes defeat Ronda like HH did?

 

[JarlSkuld]

No. And Coenen is waaaayyyyyyy past her prime at this point. There is no way she would beat Rousey without the aid of a time machine.

Jarl

nope. marloes has gotten stiffer in her striking over the years. i do remember watching her fight with kaufman live and outstriking her though.

Marloes has never been an elite striker. She's competent, for sure, and probably has better than average striking defense for WMMA, but she's mainly a submission fighter.

 

[ABSthetics]

Marloes was so fucking legit on the ground. Her striking was never elite though. She had some pretty solid defense and pretty nice fundamentals with her standup.

She was never on Holly's level on her best day when it comes to the striking game.

Didn't she get out grappled and mounted easily by Carmouche back when Carmouche was still green and pretty inexperienced? I never saw the hype for Marloes honestly. She never has really look impressive, except agasint no-names.

Marloes aint no great striker,she couldnt even handle Cyborgs tazmanian devil routine

Yes. She also won that fight by submission. She has wins over Roxy, Kaufman and Carmouche; I guess looking impressive is a subjective metric, but she has some big name wins. She's also one of those fighters who was unfortunately past their prime when MMA got popular enough to get noticed.

She's the same age as Holly

I think marloes beats ronda, but not holly

 

[sidecheckkick]

Loved Marloes but Holly would destroy her. She doesn't cut weight either iirc

 

[polarbearlulz]

Holly Holmes would wreck Marlon Coenan. It would be a destruction.

Not all fighters peak at the same time. Marloes was at her best earlier in her carreer.

 

[LongTermLurker]

She is a better grappler than striker.

 

[DeepCover]

Why is this even a question?

 

[Me&MrJones]

Marloes was in a tv program where she got tested as they wanted to know what she was able to take compared to us normal people.

Striking was also in this test and it showed that her punches were different from people that do boxing.

Well styles make fights but Marloes lost to both Miesha and Cyborg and even Cindy Dandois, Ronda would be tough.
