Nunes/Tate looked like what Holm/Tate should have

[teamfox223]

Holly never fight like that, she pretty much a stick and move outside fighter like most of her boxing career. It helps that Ronda run directly at her full blast, hands down in a straight line.

Nunes is like a lion she has a burst of high offense output then gasses out. Most people get caught in that first burst don't make it out of the round.

I'm glad Tate lost, talk about getting a big head... She became arrogant over night.

i agree
i like tate too but i felt like she started thinking she was world beater , maybe now she can fix some of the obvious gaps in her skillset

Sames goes for Ronda it helps her a lot when people run directly at her allowing Ronda to hip throw them, thats what Judo is all about using your opponents power against them.

Holm had to be more careful because she doesn't have a belt in BJJ nor in Judo like Nunes.

More bias towards a ground game, I'll talk to you about evolving right now because Tate refuses to involve her striking defense or offense even though she's been in the sport for a decade, constantly winging punches in the hope that one of them will land, there are no well rounded WMMA fighters yet. Yeah and that win was over Rousey who crushed Tate twice with ease and defended her belt 6 times, Tate was never capable of doing that.

Tate is a grappler and she couldn't even stuff Rouseys hip toss, Holm did it with ease and she's primarily a striker. Out of the triangle between Rousey, Holm & Tate, Holm is the only one to be competitive in the fight that she lost, Tate wasn't competitive with Rousey either time & Rousey wasn't competitive with Holm and this is coming from a Rousey fan.

Dude, you're obviously butthurt she beat Holm. Theres no other reason you'd be downplaying the skills of the fighter who choked Holm unconscious and made her look like an amateur on the ground.

Holm is still one of the best fighters in the world. Much respect to her. But she has glaring holes in her game and Tate is clearly the more accomplished fighter. Stop hating.

If she was completely lost, holly would have been subbed in the FIRST or SECOND round.

1) She wasn't taken down in the first round . Difficult to be subbed then even for a complete whitebelt.
2) She survived the second round so she had some survival skills. Nothing to write home about.

 

[maddog7]

Yeah, I think I see them. Right at the bottom right corner of this pic

No, I'm afraid it was a few moments earlier. Look again.

 

[whadupman]

Lol, you could make that argument for any loss. Cat was a gift to Ronda, for example.

Eventually she would have defeated cat but yes Cat presented herself to Ronda with a flying Knee .

 

[whadupman]

Boring?
She KOd..one of the worst in a womens UFC championship fight vs rousey, who uses the SAME PLAN EVERY FIGHT that NO other chicks could figure out to that point, and kicked rousey in the head in dramatic fashion.
How the hell is that boring.?
Its not.
Youre a hater. Plain and simple.
NO other woman in the ufc could stop rousey up to that point.



Completely lost?
If she was completely lost, holly would have been subbed in the FIRST or SECOND round.
We do love holm for the rousey thing, yes, but lets not pretend shes a scrub on the ground when grappling is tates strong suit and it took tate the 5th round to get it done.

Please man apart from Ronda fight Holly has been a point fight... no 1 boring fighter in the world..just watch how she gets destroyed in her next fight

I looked again and I didn't see anything. But whatever it takes to help you cope with the pwnage bruh

Miesha got her back. her defense especially at the end of the fourth was very impressive but she finally got her in 5th.

Do you know how hard it is to defend for that amount of time. if anything how they should work more on her takedown defense

Just bleed, right?

Then you must have HATED Jose Aldos fight...which i thought was brilliant.

well did you see Edgar's face ? Holly just scores points and does no damage .

While there is some truth to that, holly did finish rousey. And i mean FINISHED her lol!
Miesha fought alot differently than rousey, so hollys game wasnt going to be as effective. Well have to see another fight honestly.

I don't think Holm could pressure and make Tate wilt, Nunes is a lot more overwhelming
