Why Miesha will lose to Ronda for the 3rd time.

[MMAAAM]

First of all, I don't think Holly's striking is all that it is made out to be. Her hands are very very slow and she has very little power. Her kicks are pretty great, specially the side kicks and the oblique kicks, although she needs to fire them with a little more speed if she wants to avoid get taken down. Her footwork is pretty great though.

Miesha on the other hand has pretty bad striking and her kicks in this fight were terrible. However what Miesha does have is immense durability. She is as tough as they come. That's her best advantage, take down her opponent and either ground and pound them or submit them. Because Holly has a weak ground game, that was the clear path to victory.

The thing is, Ronda, by having the ground game that she has essentially nullifies Miesha's biggest weapon. Unlike this fight with Holly where Miesha desperately wanted to take it to the ground, against Ronda she knows that taking it to the ground is the worst thing she can possibly do because as soon as there is a scramble Ronda will summon an arm.

If Miesha can't clinch with Ronda and can't take the fight to the ground, what can she do? Her only option is to strike with Ronda. In and out, stick and move while keeping her distance. But that's not Miesha's game. That is Holly's game.

This is a clear instance of "styles make fights". Holly has the perfect style to beat Ronda, Miesha has the perfect style to beat Holly and Ronda has the perfect style to beat Miesha.

All this to say that Miesha has no chance against Ronda.

No chance? I think we all should, especially in light of what's been happening the past 6 months or so...that the idea of "No Chance" should be thrown out of any discussion of an MMA fight or any type of fight from here on out.

That said, Ronda by armbar 2nd round.

 

[Curly Peibce]

Ronda can't make the weight anymore, thread invalidated.

If you look at the first fights Tate came rushing in and stupidly grappled. She showed a lot of maturity and fight IQ against Holm, her kicks are poor but she can throw bombs too and Rousey can't take a punch. I don't see why she can't outbox Rousey when Rousey has done nothing to improve. We've seen Tate improve in mostly every fight. I don't know of Tate's TDD. One thing against her is that you could see how physically strong Holm was against her when she just threw her off in the clinch against the cage. That sort of power buys a lot of TDD

Rousey's personal life has got to take a toll too. It's hard enough keeping down a regular job when you're depressed. I don't know if she's getting help but it's hard to resolve deep seated issues in a high pressure game like that.

I'm looking forward to the fight and I'm so pumped for Tate after being a fan of hers for so long. Nice to see a pioneer of the sport win its biggest title when she was considering retirement because of White's favoritism.

That's the way I see it, but it would be nice to see Meisha win once against Ronda. If anything this is the perfect time to strike. Honda is still vulnerable.

I will call it now. $1000 on Meisha to win inside the distance. As soon as the fight is made and the odds hit all time lunacy levels, I'll be placing a bet. We will not be seeing the same Ronda inside the cage ever again. I hesitate to even get excited for a fight that I'm not certain Ronda wants. Hand picked or not, Meisha handles her this time.

Ronda's just looking for a payday, nothing more. Won $10,000(9,948) last night off Tate/Diaz parlay and both individually. I think Meisha wins it again and holds it. Ronda won't be champion again in the UFC. She's done.

Also, I have $1000 that says Conor loses his next fight as well. Aldo beats him to death in a rematch. Edgar can't be finished due to strikes and has been put on queer street by some huge lightweights himself. Either of them are going to beat his ass.

Make sure to fucking hound me about this whenever it rolls around. I ain't no bitch. I'll cash out the 401k. I'm that confident that Ronda doesn't regain that belt. She wants no part of MMA.

I think she'll crack the code this time.

I think Ronda loses to Miesha the third time because Miesha finally found patience.




I think Conor wins his next fight depending on who it is.

Is Lamas somehow getting the fight?

 

[passa]

In order to win...Ronda either needs the clinch for her judo throw or needs the opponent to make mistakes...in terms of striking...ronda is no good either...tate take it...and the main reason?? Ronda doesnt have that aura of invincibility anymore...she was genuinely over her head and cocky before her loss...she totally believed in her own hype..that is gone...even if she suddenly acts cocky and confident...we all know that would just be an act...so unless tate decides to run into an armbar again...i dont see ronda winning
, also i think aldo and edgar both win against conor..whoever fights...edgar is gonna wrestle fuck conor till eternity...aldo vs conor sud be fun

Tate will lose because Rousey by armbar
