Wait...how do you shrug off Ronda's armbar but not a basic Rear Naked Choke?

[EGarrett]

Ronda armbarred about 12 million people in a row, Holly shrugged that **** off like it was nothing, then Miesha takes her down and gets her in life-or-death mode with back mount and a rear naked choke...TWICE in one fight.

What happened here? Was Holly only trained to be anti-Ronda?

 

[logicprob]

It's called luck son. Holly got lucky that Ronda jumped with her chin out towards her punches because her ego wanted to prove she was a better boxer than then boxer. Tate learned and she didn't follow the retreating Holly and look what happened.

Ronda will win the rematch, and easily. All he has to do is focus on the takedown like Tate did and not play Lucky Holly's game.

 

[Fergelmince]

Yeah, trained pretty well to be anti-ronda

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Styles make fights. Especially in WMMA as it is still developing.

Position before submission. Ronda never had Holly close to a checkmate situation.

Is this a legitimate question? How old are you? Have you ever competed in anything?

Ronda cannot shoot takedowns. She has bad knees. She can only charge in for clinches. Also regarding the first paragraph, your opponent's ignorance is not luck.

umm, i think a RNC is a harder sub to escape from.

 

[Ceez]

RHonda never got the position Miesha did. Miesha fought smart not like an out of control idiot. Honda tried to hard to impose her will against a counter striker and paid the ultimate price

Is this a legitimate reply. How old are you? Have you ever seen anyone only train to defend one sub and not have general ground skills?

 

[Peteyandjia]

Ronda never had a great armbar position in those brief seconds on the ground with Holly.

Miesha had full back mount.

 

[EGarrett]

If you have position and have it sunk in. Which is multiple steps which fighters usually stop.

there's a big difference between a rear naked choke (which to get stuck in to begin with means you're in a terrible position) and an armbar from the guard.

 

[Me&MrJones]

Holm beats Rousey
Rousey beats Tate
Tate beats Holm
Nunes keep calling Dana

 

[RafaelDosSantos]

She was paid off to lose so Ronda could reclaim her belt

But Holly let Miesha get that position repeatedly. That's the issue.

 

[Cowboy Cerroliveira]

Ronda's armbar is the only tool in her toolbox. Miesha is an Ace Hardware store.

 

[OrigFan255]

WMMA in 2016 is at he same spot men's MMA was is 1995

 

[Mau]

Miesha's positioning were better than Ronda's, it's simple.

then maybe thats your answer. position. Ronda didnt have full control of the arm bar.
