Ummm no, rousey lost to holm because Holm is the BETTER FIGHTER between the 2.
If ronda were a true fighter at heart, she would be begging Dana and Joe silva to make her next fight against holly to avenge her loss. But instead, rousey will lobby for a fight with Tate because she knows she can beat her and she knows holly will ko her again.
Except actually, she was out on her feet.
""I got hit in that first round. ... I cut my lip open and knocked a couple of my teeth loose. I was out on my feet from the very beginning."
"I wasn't thinking clearly. I had that huge cut in my mouth and I just spit [the blood] out at my feet. Then they brought the bucket over and I'm like, 'Why didn't I spit it in the bucket?' I never spit on the ground."
"It was like a dumbed-down dreamy version of yourself making decisions. ... I was just trying to shake myself out of it. I kept saying to myself, 'You're OK, keep fighting. You're OK, keep fighting.'""

I am not a Ronda fan, but she got caught early due to being reckless. As you can see in the quote above. As such, Holm was a better fighter then her
that night because she allowed her own ego to defeat her. Her main coach is a crappy boxing coach and she actually thought she could just bum rush a former boxing champion, land on her, and take her down in the first. She was wrong. I think in a rematch, she will be a lot more tentative. Holly will win a striking contest against Ronda 10 out of 10 times, but as for the better fighter, we will see if they rematch. If they do and Ronda loses, which I don't think she will, she will retire and you will have been right.
