Why is Holly going for take down's this fight?

[JKS]

She got hit early and wanted nothing to do with the stand up

 

[Erratic]

Holm was getting lit up on the feet in my opinion, that chick hits hard, she started wrestling when she started getting tagged a bunch. Great job from Holly though. ISSSH ISSSSH!

 

[XThe GreatestX]

Wtf are you jabronis talking about in this thread lol

She was getting lit up on the feet so took her down and was dominate.....

But you think she should have stayed on her feet and kept getting her ass whooped lol

 

[7.62x39]

she got rocked early by a big knee and thought "fuck this shit"

are you saying, the original game plan was to never shoot for take down's? I honestly think if Holly tried to exchange, she would have gotten dropped.

 

[maxi diablo]

Because she likes it on top.

 

[ANIM4L]

because that girl is humongous and is a striker

 

[Stranger Come Knocking]

Because she’s the most boring fighter in the UFC. What a garbage fight. She panic wrestled for 15 minutes.

who let you out of the basement?

 

[mirror45]

Cause it brings her a W

 

[Felis]

Why not, worked well.

Also the tds here weren't boring at all (unlike the clinching earlier).

 

[FacePunch]

Because Fight IQ. Duh.

 

[Emjay]

Because Megan couldn't stop them

I’ve been sleeping upstairs for years!

 

[FlowchartRog]

Because Megan is huge obviously.

Holm deserves a lot more respect.

She can be boring but she is 36, athletic as fuck, tough, brave, and can flat out fight.

i'm glad holly was able to adjust on the fly like that otherwise she would have lost for sure.

Im saying whatever the gameplan was it probably got changed on the fly once that happened

 

[Lay N Pray 101]

Is she afraid to exchange? So far, Holly is doing quite good with the take down's

Holm is 5'8 with a 70" reach.
Anderson is 6'1 with a 72.5" reach.

Anderson is a tall and lanky fighter, why stand and try trade with her. Holm fought the smart fight and put on a dominant performance.

 

[egk]

Because Anderson has no ground game at all. Amazing considering people have always said that about Holm. Anderson is way worse.

 

[Lay N Pray 101]

Boring standing and on the ground

Go find another sport to watch then.

 

[Fight Professor]

Megan looked about 2" taller than Holly.

 

[Max_P]

She is at height and Reach disadvantage... ...
