Rousey striking with Holm is like Fedor striking with Schilt!

[Summoning]

Rousey is a Judo olympics medallist, why she tried to strike with Holm a boxing and Kickboxing champ with reach advantage???

Fedor was a Judo and Sambo fighter, and when he face Semmy Schilt (K1 four time Champ with much reach advantage) He put the fight in the ground and win.

Was she to confident in her striking ability=? Would Rousey used IQ and change gameplan in the remach?

 

[andnowweknow]

At least Fedor knows how to strike...though I guess I see your point somewhat.

 

[Lyoto Jackson]

That is generous to Rousey.

 

[JustOnce]

Shilts is like 100 times more dangerous than Holly Holms standing. And Fedor hundred times better than Ronda Rousey standing.

 

[Sgt Smith]

People who don't think Ronda tried to get the fight to the ground did not watch the fight.

 

[MayankSharma13]

Ego got in the way for rousey. She got emotional which is the worst thing to do in a fight and wanted to beat Holm at her own game.

 

[EvilElvis]

Fedor didn't run at his opponents like a zombie to get the clinch

exactly, she tried everything to make it her fight but was helpless, this is not a good example at all.

 

[TheHotness]

Fedor won, rousey lost

 

[SerrabyTKO]

Ah yes, Fedor Schilt.

Lay n Pray before Lay n Pray was cool.

Zombies don't run, they walk.

Zombie walking in MMA works. Running in is just stupid most of the time.

Ronda's takedowns come after she punches her way into a clinch. Holm's distance management and footwork prevented Rousey from trapping her and closing her down.

 

[xP]

That is a valid comparison. Ronda clearly thought she was something she wasn't.

Shilts is like 100 times more dangerous than Holly Holms standing. And Fedor hundred times better than Ronda Rousey standing.

that actually makes it a mathematically sound comparison though, you multiplied both by 100.

It isn't like she didn't try to take her down . She tried several times , and it even went to the ground and she went for an armbar. She tried to take Holly down in the last minute of the first round which Holly in turn lifter her off the ground completely and took her down. Rhonda didn't just decide to "stand and trade" , she had no choice in the matter.

She waited too long before she tried. I think she wanted to prove she could strike with Holly first.

Why is Fedor looking at his penis in that pic?

Disagree. She had a hard time getting close enough to Holly, and soon found out Holly is very strong and hard to take down.

 

[doomy200]

Why is Fedor looking at his penis in that pic?

Probably wondering if things are proportional...

 

[Squarechoke]

Fedor won, rousey lost

Yes, and he basically didn't throw a single standing strike while doing it, he just took Schilt down and maintained control over him that way. It's the whole point of the comparison.

 

[olimpicus]

Fedor was an awesome striker
