Or nah?... There don't seem to be much of it in wbw
Holm has some of the worst footwork in MMA.
Holm has some of the worst footwork in the entire division.
that's not true
Will Holly Holm give Rousey trouble with her footwork Or nah?...
Nah. Get ready for some familiar scenery; clinch, Judo throw, armbar, 30 seconds or less.
Disagreed.
Holm will actually be intelligent, and use some distance against Rousey. She has a long arm span and likes to stand. I give it until about a minute and a half when Rousey gets a hold of her and finishes it.
Holm's better than most of the competition Ronda has faced. She hasn't been exciting (far from it) but she's not going to do what 99% of Ronda's past opponents have (wade forward, chin up, winging hooks).
With all that boxing and kickboxing experience under her belt, she understands timing and distance better than almost anyone else in the division, and she's training with a legit camp.
... Do I think she's going to beat Ronda? No, of course not. But I think she'll make it out of the first round if she can avoid getting tossed on her head. Might even go a few rounds. Might even test Ronda's chin a couple of times, too (Ronda is very hittable).
