Winkeljohn: Holly Holm will recover from head kick KO, unlike Ronda Rousey

[NandoMoura]

If there’s one message Holly Holm’s head coach Mike Winkeljohn wants to share following her loss to Amanda Nunes, it’s that she will be back.

“Holly told me, we watched tape yesterday, she said she felt good. She was getting her timing and working but then she hesitated on a kick. She had done it earlier, which was a mistake and she said she wishes she hadn’t have done that. She told herself that starting to throw a kick and deciding to stop, that was stupid, don’t do it again, don’t get caught. And then she got caught. No excuses. Amanda kicks hard. She hits hard. She’s a scary person and that’s incredible.”

“She’s exactly the opposite of what Ronda Rousey did after Holly knocked her out. Ronda, her whole world was over and all these bad things, which is not what young ladies or anybody needs to hear in this world. S—t happens. When bad things happen, what makes you great is your ability to deal with it and go forward. That’s what Holly has decided to do. That’s what she’s done her whole life and she will go forward.”

You hope mike

That’s your last cash cow

Lol Ronda is retired and she already got her flack.

Just let her be.

 

[TheLuckiest]

Holly is infinitely more capable of recovering from a defeat than Rousey, but KO's like that can change your whole style and KO resistance. Hope she comes back and is okay health wise.

 

[Iroh]

I don't know. It's not just the head kick KO. It's a string of losses.

 

[muaytao]

wankle is a con dude admitted he got his ass kicked by a smaller dude back in the days.

 

[MPD-Psycho]

Well that’s kinda expected.

People recover from a knock out differently but Ronda obviously went overboard.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

No. Holy is done. She need to retire.

 

[loisestrad]

Last I checked, Ronda was pretty succesful in doing what she does after retiring from MMA.

Isn't that a better way of handling yourself than continuing to do what you're not succesful at?

Does Jones not fight out of that camp anymore?

 

[MakeSherdogGreatAgain]

Well of course he wants her to keep going. Most of their big stars have either left, retired, or declined big time. I've heard some things about Wankerjohn. Not a good guy.

 

[ultramanhyata]

You know you're mentally strong after a loss when your coach has to issue the public statement for you about how mentally strong you are.

 

[Kingofthestreets]

Rousey has a character issue, she is weak and like a bully couldn't handle adversity.
It just wasnt fun anymore when she had to face some real competition.

Holly can still have one last run, but maybe a fresh start in some other organization, she already won the ufc championship

no, Jon Jones is his last cash cow

 

[Lawblaw]

Ronda, Jones, Holly and Winkeljohn are all trash

 

[flowoftruth]

only a weak minded coach would need to put a lovely retired lady down to bolster his own bum fighter. you would never hear comments like this from the real pros

 

[2004 account]

Holly is old, won't evolve much and should retire before she gets reduced to "soccer mom status with a good high kick". Last fight she looked shook af coming out, like she knew she was gonna lose. Hell her skin is starting to look wrinkly and saggy even, like wet uncooked chicken skin. Shit is gross.

 

[kuka45]

Why shitting on Ronda?

 

[DarkneT]

Does Jones not fight out of that camp anymore?

No he doesn’t

 

[DarkneT]

no, Jon Jones is his last cash cow

He’s done too
