Just rewatched Ronda vs Holly

[chinarice]

One of the single greatest moments in MMA history.

 

[chinarice]

I'm not wrong though, VS Amanda she already digested she sucked and after the first punch her inside wilted. The chin held up but she was a standing punching bag.

Using sherdog's Jared Cannonier logic, the Nunes fight with Ronda was a horrible stoppage. One of the worst ever.....

Funny how no one ever claimed that one was when she was stumbling around like a drunkard just like Jared

 

[TheCryingElite]

I think Cain spinning kicked Travis Browne that same night but I’m probably wrong.
That must have been really cool to go to. I’ve never gotten to see a Championship contested live, I did get to see Porier vs Pettis live though (Matt Brownes elbow on Diego happened that night yeah and apparently a technical issue caused the broadcast to not air the finish live) But seeing Ronda get destroyed was literally historic.

I’m pretty sure that happened at UFC 200. The octagon canvas that had jaundice.

 

[RockyLockridge]

I was in the arena for my first ever UFC event. It was such a crazy feeling as Holly started to take over in the first round. Good job because the rest of the card was pretty bad and didn’t have any finishes until the main card if I remember correctly. Met Cain Velasquez as well which was nice.

joanna vs letourneau was fun

There were 5 finishes on the prelims including a spinning back kick to the body KO

Fuck sake lol I had to read this like 5 times to get the irony in it. Ronda was worse off than Cannonier though and people are comparing his recovery from getting rocked with Rob to this last fight.

He was done though imo but should have been stopped sooner, not when he showed slight signs of recovering

Did you two get to shoot the shit for a while?

 

[HHJ]

Worst day of my life.

 

[Captain Herb]

Worst day of my life.

Wow you must be the only Ronda superfan left on here

 

[SuperNerd]

Worst day of my life.

You're not like the other girls.

 

[Username Required LMAO]

It was one of the most exciting fights, FOTN, and also Holly dodging Ronda's punch like a Matador never gets old, it was simply WOW!

This is one of the dumbest comparisons I've ever seen. Rethink your life.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

She went out like an absolute Gangster and was chasing Holly swinging the whole fight.
Say what you want, but Ronda was willingly running into dozens of straight punches from Holly and does not allow any of those shots to discourage her forward pressure.

That's because, in Ronda's own words, she was severely concussed from the very first punch Holly landed (which also knocked all her bottom teeth loose) and was on autopilot.

 

[Lydia Roman]

I watch it everytime it pops up on my phone. Ill never stop

 

[HHJ]

Wow you must be the only Ronda superfan left on here

I rarely bet on women's fights but got so confident that Rousey would win. I lost. I think a lot of people also didn't see it coming.

 

[ChickenBrother]

And I do have to say this is one of my favorite knockouts ever
Holly fought a near perfect fight, even getting the takedown and landing in Ronda’s guard.
I feel as if Ronda’s attitude soured a lot of us towards her but I do have to say
She went out like an absolute Gangster and was chasing Holly swinging the whole fight.
Say what you want, but Ronda was willingly running into dozens of straight punches from Holly and does not allow any of those shots to discourage her forward pressure.
Like I just realized that I never noticed how hard Ronda still tried to win that fight just because I was so elated watching Holly do her up like that. Ronda showed a lot of heart, a lot.
I just love the last punch Holly lands on Ronda’s unconscious head lol it was vicious like a nail in the coffin

I also watched it again recently and yeah, everyone remembers the finish but it was a barnburner up to that point. Ronda never stops trying to close the distance and engage. Not a fan but that was straight gangster.

But most impressive was Holly's ability to disengage and manage distance. Ronda had it on the ground or clinch several times and I thought Holm was done for. But she pushed Ronda away and got the fuck outta there to deliver more damage from standing. That was the first time we'd seen someone do that to Ronda and it took a girl as big and athletic as Holly to do it (on top of a great game plan).

 

[StonedLemur]

It certainly gave Holm a lot of capital to perform at a mediocre level and not receive a lot of criticism. I know I gave her plenty. The breaking point for me was the horrific dancing with tila tequila

How dare you call Waterson "Tila"... Michelle will always be hotter than that skank lol

 

[itrainufcbro]

Apart from Nunes v Cyborg wmma has never been that exciting again.

Joanna vs weili is an all time banger
