Down goes Rousey. KO 2nd round***

From what I hear...this was a bigger whooping than Douglas gave Tyson.

From some of the highlights...Rousey was getting smacked. Dang. Remind me not to date any female UHC fighters.

Holm didn't get her due credit leading up to the fight. Rousey was totally outclassed in the standup game and because she hasn't ever been pushed, panicked in the 1st round. From that point it was just a matter of time.

The head kick was brutal. Holm looked like a much better striker. Once Rousey couldn't get her to the ground, she looked outclassed.
 
The match (highlights) reminded me of a bigger reach (Douglas) against a smaller fighter (Tyson).

That was my perception that Holm wanted to box and knew she was a better boxer. She knew she could beat her boxing (her trainers) and jab Rousey to death.

It was brutal. It looks like Holm could beat her 9 out of 10 times. If they ever fight again...I can guarantee you Rousey will be much more defensive and won't be looking to box.

Just my .02 cts and I know nothing about MMA.

If Rousey fought the same way each time I would see her losing 9 out of 10 times. In the rematch if instead of chasing Holms, cut off the rink, worked more on taking her down, then I think the advantage would shift to Rousey.

Rousey tried to take her down but by then the fight was lost. Rousey made the mistake too many great athlete make. Assumed she was too good to have to worry about what the other person could do.

No matter how long and hard Rousey trains, she will never be a better striker. Just like no matter how long And hard Holly trains, she will never be a better grappler.
