So, Ronda was overrated...

[KrowX]

...and Holm was the real deal. And yet, Ronda managed to have a much more dominant and impressive career than Holm.

This is just another great example of how beating the #1 doesn't necessarily make you the best. Holm can beat Ronda, but i highly doubt she could be the dominant champion Ronda was. And at the end of the day, that's what really matters.

 

[BigMuffler]

And Miesha was far FAR underrated.

'No athleticism'... well, fuck Sherdog's definition of athleticism. Bwahaha. Sherdog or rather Sherdog's athleticism worshippers' definition isn't valid.

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

With a better gameplan Ronda could dismantle Holm. Chasing her around because Edmond was a terrible decision.

Ronda at TriStar would be beastly; gotta learn to throw the jab, fake the straight, and duck into a takedown.


Props to Holm for stiffening Rousey, and props to Tate for having a gameplan and making it work at the end.

Ronda and Holm are both VERY overrated but WMMA is 99 % hobby fighters/horrible fight IQ/very basic in everything they do so they both look like prime Tyson (Ronda) and Floyd (Holm at point fighting) against such opponents.

I never understood that. No, Miesha isn't athletic like LeBron, but she has endurance and strength, which are important athletic indicators for grappling.

Good morning

 

[TestosterOWN]

Holm beat Rousey in her weakness. Tate beat holm in her weakness. People need to work on their weaknesses

 

[DaGenius]

Yeah. Ronda was overrated and Holly is invincible. This is what sherdog told me

 

[Deleted member 196663]

Every normal human knows Ronda put WMMA on her back and made it legitimate. But there are some loud dumb fucks that muddy the waters.

All Sherdog's moronic athleticism worshippers care about is speed and a dynamic style. They have been ethered.

The Bantamweight top 10 has exactly one hobby fighter, and that's Bethe.

The rest are 7 year vets or more, and most have a background in other combat/grappling sports.

 

[oBMTo]

Holm is overrated; Rousey is not. Simple as that.

 

[KrowX]

Exactly. And yet, goes to sleep against a girl Ronda completely destroyed twice and fails to defend the title one single time. Plus, was never that dominant in her MMA career.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Tate has more ways to win, is not as easily frustrated as ronda, comes in "in shape ready to go" hard, meisha shoots for the take down - ronda needs to get the clinch.

 

[Malditor]

Simply put, Holly and Ronda are both predominantly one dimensional fighters. As such if they fight anyone that can neutralize that then they will probably lose.

 

[rac2]

nobody is athlletic. nobody is overrated.

 

[Apollo33]

yeah Ronda is still going to take home Tate's arm for the 3rd time

it's just a weird style triangle

 

[egk]

Ronda and her coaches let success go to their heads. She fought like an idiot against Holm. Tate fought smart, didn't take a lot of damage standing and knew what she had to do to win.

 

[Slabby]

Tate is a grinder. She could ugly up a fight and win, and no amount of Jackson/Winklejohn point fighting bullshit can counter that.

Maybe Holm was "sandbagging."

That would be Gina Carrano, Rousey was just in a lot of commercials for the ufc propaganda machine.
