Talking point - describe your thoughts on:
>1. The UFC's next move?
Do you give Ronda an instant rematch? Does her reign as a 'dominant' champion justify giving her a rematch right away even though she lost by knockout?
>2. Holm's marketability?
Is it possible that the casual masses will at least ride the Holm hype train up until her next fight? She beat the person who people were trying to build up as the women's MMA GOAT. Does Ronda's popularity help Holm sell PPVs as "The woman who beat Ronda Rousey"?
>3. Rousey's next move?
Assume she's not injured and can fight as soon as the UFC announce cards past Johnson vs. Bader on January 30 2016. Who does she fight next? Where on the card order do you put the fight?
First for Gina
>Dana still tries to hype up rousey, rousey says that she learned from this, rematch is hyped endlessly

Nice OP there. I like the conversation starting questions. It would makes sense especially during in between cards.
>>63584055
No, rematch and McGregor are still notable cash cows for Dana
Jon Jones might eventually be coming back too
I rewatched the fight and Ronda was doing okay in the first part of the first round and could have even won it in with that armbar
She broke down real quick though

Real question is how much Edmond and his crew lost betting on Ronda like they usually do
>>63583672
1. Convince Ronda to get a new camp and have her return on UFC 200. Tate vs Holly in the mean time.
2. Little. She's not pretty enough.
3. A new camp, probably some acting while she recovers.
>>63584282
>he still thinks he beat Anderson

>muh jaw

What was Ronda's gameplan exactly? Just stalk Holly down and outbox her into a clinch?
>once in a lifetime athlete
>tired after one round
>>63584440
She heard Joe Rogan say she had world class striking and believed him.
>Do you give Ronda an instant rematch? Does her reign as a 'dominant' champion justify giving her a rematch right away even though she lost by knockout?
There wont be an instant remtach because I assure you she'll take months to contemplate her shitty actions, I she permamently gets out of mma.
>Holm's marketability?
Go away, Holm's doesn't need another Dana breathing down her neck trying to corrupt her
>Rousey's next move?
Quit mma and be forgotten, like she scurried away after the match was over.
Called it
>>63583672
>The UFC's next move
Holly and Dana both said in the post-fight presser they think a rematch makes sense. I disagree, since Miesha is 4 in a row and deserves a shot at the title against somebody who isn't Ronda.
>Holm's marketability
She doesn't really have any yet. We'll see how they spin it. Considering how humble she was after winning, she definitely has the potential to be liked, but casuals like seeing the boisterous super confident Ronda and Conor types more.
>Rousey's next move
Move to a new camp, ditch Edmond, and fight a can in a main event to pump her up for a rematch, then give her a title shot.
Why didn't YOU bet on Holm?
It was tempting wasn't it?

Seriously, this is probably the greatest knockout of all time. Not because the caliber of fighters was great, but because I can't think of anyone else that has deserved a fucking kick to the had more than her.
I hope Holm retires undefeated and Rousey joins her dad.

Was that was she doing with that atrocious footwork? She was chasing down Holly like a headless chicken, trying to clinch and gassing herself out in the process. At minute 3 of the fight she looks like she already ran a marathon, and she still kept on going.

This is why I doubt Dana is as upset as everyone thinks. He rides every cash cow into the ground, almost by definition.

We all like to think that Dana gets emotionally invested in his business opportunities, but the truth is that that cunt could milk blood from a stone. He and the UFC will be fine even if Ronda gets killed by Travis tomorrow.

It's just a meme. I'm sure Dana gets upset in the moment, but he has gotten to the UFC to where it is today because he truly does not give a fuck about any of the fighters. He just keeps moving the UFC forward and he will always find a vehicle to do so.

Stop saying nobody here could beat up Holms or Rousey, they're girls they're mentally and physically weak, I could fight them 2 on 1 and have them both knocked out within seconds, just because YOU are some fat goober doesn't mean we all are.

Lucia was a better fighter and look how that turned out.
>>63585444
I just think she's a fat entitled pig who believes the smoke blown up her ass and is a rude cunt to anyone who doesn't worship her
that shit stems from her childhood when she was a hideous man child twice the size of any other girl and never got laid
so yh not gonna apologise for hating the way she is shoved down my throat as a role model despite being a total cunt.
glad she got ktfo, will watch it several more times today and throughout the week, then it will be a treasured memory on my hard drive I can go back to whenever I please, like RDA heeming Bendo or Edgar heeming Maynard
>>63585444
This is a pretty elaborate shitpost.
>s-s-she was just doing it to hype the fight
Nah, I'm sure the fame got to her head. I didn't mind her when she was arm barring chicks and having interviews about pokemon, then it's like she blew up overnight and became a beacon for "strong" women everywhere, Beyonce using her quote in her song, celebrities licking her butt, her amateur coach saying she spars and beats up top boxers in the gym(lel), Rogan unironically calling her a super hero.
Did you guys notice that after the post fight speech with Holly, as she was taking pictures with her team, the speakers started blasting LL cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out?
Very, very nice touch.
>I'm gonna knock you out, mama said knock you out.
>>63584831
Everyone lost
Most got BTFO when Struve lost, and after Hall lost there were only 3 people left. All of them had Rousey though
Anyone else glad that Ronda died off last night?
The hype train was becoming incredibly fucking annoying and UFC was pumping out articles about Ronda every single day.
>>63584764
That's what she always does. Holm just made her pay for it this time.
>>63585986
That's what all the other women needed to do instead of trying flying knees
>>63584516
I did, four times. Two single bets and two parlays that had Whittaker and Rosholt.
>>63585939
kek, didn't realize that
Why am I still so happy? I think her being aggressive at the weigh ins and on instagram increased my desire to see her lose by the 100th power.
>>63584561

Or jumping into the pocket throwing haymakers. Holm circled out with check hooks until Ronda was exhausted and standing in front of her eating straights. Literally all anyone had to do was circle out for a few minutes.

Probably doesn't feel like much, because at the moment of impact, the brain hits the wall of the skull from inertia, causing a concussion and loss of consciousness.
>>63586321
to be fair Holm had to survive at least one potentially dicey armbar situation
>>63584421
Her jaw is fine.
Her chin is weak.
>>63586261
You already asked this and got an answer. When you get kicked in the neck your head whips to the side violently and your brain gets jiggled and shuts down.
It really sucks getting kicked in the neck.
>>63586327
About as likely that he's going to start shilling Aldo. That is to say, not at all.
>>63586321
>for a few minutes.
Not according to Tate
>>63586312
Not at all, she fought a girl that was way bigger than her and beat her up, only losing one round. Claudia lost to a Joanna who was way worse than the one we see now and she doesn't have the size or reach advantage that Valerie had.
Anyone else feel like the match that makes the most sense is Rousey vs Zingano 2? Now that Zingano knows how shit Ronda's stand up is and how she can keep her distance she may perform a lot better against her
>>63586377
Ronda was too worn down by that point, she wasn't explosive enough there. Ronda's best chance is when she had Holm against the fence in the first 2 minutes but Holm got off the cage.
>>63586443
Tate didn't keep her standing and charging at her. It's easier to grapple on the ground than it is to run into punches for 3 minutes.
>>63586471
>Claudia lost to a Joanna
According to nobody who actually saw that fight.
>>63586471
If Valerie was smart and didn't keep the fight standing she'd have won. I don't know if there are any good wrestlers/grapplers in the women's straw-weight division but she's definitely beat-able.

I've never been so completely shocked by a fighters unwillingness to respect their opponent in anyway.. that bullshit at the weigh in.. the refused glove touch, the i'm gonna Anderson Silva you and walk up with my hands down..
Say what people will but Spider was doing that shit and knocking people the fuck out Rousey had never done that and she learned that until you earn the confidence to try that shit.. don;t even think about it. She is the perfect example of not letting fans and media gas you up too much because they wont be in that cage to take those punches and kicks for you.

>>63585058
>>63586546
That's your opinion and all but plenty of people think Joanna won that fight, it could have gone either way but Joanna is so much better at takedown defense now.
>>63583672
>Do you give Ronda an instant rematch?
Hell no, not after how she lost. Pit her against Zingano again and she how she does, then go from there
>Does Ronda's popularity help Holm sell PPVs as "The woman who beat Ronda Rousey"?
Only up until her next fight. After Ronda she's likely just going to out jab and jog every other opponent she faces to decision. Both Pennington and Reneau were hesitant to exchange with Holm, which led to her finding only limited success. Rousey spent the whole match chasing Holm down with little head movement and poor footwork. I think her first title defense will do a fair number of PPV buys, but once the general masses realize she's not typically that lethal her numbers will become abysmal.
>Rousey's next move?
Change camps so she can actually get some help patching up the holes in her stand up. It has been made obvious by her performance and the advice Edmond was giving her that he's just awful. Hopefully Ronda can realize this.
>Where on the card order do you put the fight?
Depends who her next opponent is. If it's Zingano again like I hope the UFC will probably make a fight night out of it, but in a perfect world i'd want it to be the featured bout on some card's prelims

Gadelha has been training too and I expect her to impress her will on Joanna just like she did the first time.
So serious question.
Is Holly Holm's actually legit for you guys?
Only asked this question because Ronda didn't do a proper gameplan for the fight.
I only casually watch fights like this but goddamn that was just surgical from Holm.

Take a full year off and use it to work on her game at a quality camp(s). Lots of conversations with and guidance from her lovely, brilliant mom.
you reckon they will give Holm a favourable match up next, whilst Ronda recovers?
>>63586966
Tate is an ideal match up to make Holly look good.
>>63586851
>plenty of people think Joanna won that fight,
like who? Just you and Poland I'm guessing
I love Joanna and wanted her to steal that decision but at best (for her) it was a draw if you gave her a 10-8 for the knockdown which you shouldn't cause she was losing the round until then.
This is not to say I don't think Joanna could beat Claudia again, I would just favour the hue that's all.

>>63586941
Holms in the MMA is like throwing a pro player at the end of their career and pitting them against college players.
So can the womyn's "fighting" meme finally die now that the poster child has been dethroned?
>>63586941
no consider her previous fights, it was much more rhonda being exposed than holly showing us anything
>>63586941
She's alright in my books 2bh. She's not gonna be finishing chicks in 20 seconds like Ronda and I can see her having trouble with most fighters like Amanda Nunes and Meisha.
Either way I don't care, she could lose her next 5 fights but nothing will take away what she did last night. Complete mugging.
Cerrone has literally no chance against RDA. There is a real reason why he always chokes in big fights. He simply doesn't care about being champion. He doesn't have that outside motivation that true champions have to be the absolute best. He fights for fun and to pay the bills, not to be the best. When it is time to really dig down deep, there is nothing there is no light at the end of the tunnel to keep him going. Similarly to how atheists can never be great fighters.

>>63587083
>do we know what Holm's TDD is like?
We saw that last night
>>63586906
The fuck were you watching that you thought it was one sided? Gadhela swung wild whenever they fought standing and got picked apart and imposed her will when she wrestled. It was a back and forth fight that could have gone either way.
>>63586934
I completely agree, Gadhela's easily Joanna's biggest challenge, but this idea that she's going to steamroll her is completely unfounded.
>>63587017
>the poster child has been dethroned?
Never senpai we'll just get a new one
>>63587066
Hype Machine at work.
>>63587083
It's virtually perfect against fighters like Ronda that have to strike their way into clinches. A wrestler-type who can shoot from long distance? We don't know. But I don't see how Ronda wins without going through that woodchipper.
>>63587162
No one's saying she's gonna steamroll, but if she has gotten better and "wants it more" then she has a chance of winning.
>>63585328
Rousey's vagina really loves eating her fight shorts.
>>63587090
It doesn't feel like she's marketable though. Feels like she has to at least say something to cause a ripple then that's what Dana will market.
>>63587162
A fight doesn't need to be one sided to have a clear winner in a decision, dummy.
Can't believe you fucks think Rousey has a bad chin when she absorbed massive shots for an entire round and was KOd by a head kick she didn't see coming
>>63585232
Should be laying next to Nick Diaz tbqhf
>>63586941
Style makes matchups, and Holly had just the right style to beat Ronda. Their's no way that she can be as dominant against the likes of Meisha Tate, Alexis Davis and Cat Zingano the way Ronda was, but I can't see Ronda beating her in a rematch.

I bet you're making a pipe bomb right now.
It felt surreal seeing that head kick land.
Ronda looked so shitty, the whole facade was just shattered. It's one thing to lose the title, it's another to get utterly dominated and made to look like you dont even know what youre doing
>>63587271
Agreed on this Ronda has the good matchups against the ones you listed because they all look to clinch and keep it in a short distance. However the rest of the fighters are patient and won't look for the finish but the lay and pray and the escape situations for Holm won't be there
>>63587299
>>63583997
So here,s an interesting thought: what if the rumoured Gina/Ronda fight had happened?
Gina's huge for 135 and a much, much better technical striker than Ronda. Could Gina have done it?
>>63587367
Thanks m8
shit is brutal
>>63587299
I got you
>>63587271
This. Surely there's a big chance of Holm losing to another fighter, then Rousey beating them and becoming champ again. And then maybe Holm coming round again if she's still fighting?

I usually dislike seeing people saying a fighter got exposed but this is just that.
>>63583997
Gina is smart.
she got popular and started making movies. then got out of fighting because she knew her face would end up like Holms if she kept fighting.
nobody wants to an ugly face on screen.
>>63587387
Cyborg clinched with her at will. She got tossed on her face in one of those clinches, but yeah. Ronda would do the same and throw to mount to armbar, I imagine.
>>63587271
Holly was a different fighter last night. You people might not realize this, but Holly was on fire. I actually feel reticent to post analysis all over the interwebs, but she was absolutely lethal. Another performance like that would be deadly against anyone.
>>63587299
special bonus edition because you live in the country i want to live in
>>63587352
It was almost an Esparza/JJ level blowout, honestly. Ronda looked so bad against Holm. She literally looked like she didn't belong in there with her, like an amateur fighting a pro.
>>63587411
This is the greatest fight in WMMA since Rousey/Tate 2
Action from the first bell, back and forth (Holm got hurt and went for the slam), a big finish.
This is the shit you talk about to your grandkids.
>>63587271
>Alexis Davis and Cat Zingano
My sides pham. I know people still hold the last two fights against her but she says she trained harder for this fight than anything in her entire career, and her confidence has to be through the roof. She'd beat up these chicks too.Especially Alexis Davis.
>>63587469
But you live in the land of the free and the home of the brave (aka the greatest country on earth). You are really lucky.
>>63587411
Man that's so fucking brutal
>>63587469
that schaub KO just makes me kek everytime
>>63587445
I completely agree. No doubt that she's improved, she looked magnificent last night, but that shit still won't fly against the more cautious and experienced fighters in that division like Miesha. Keep in mind, I think the Holly we saw last night can beat anyone in the women's division, just not as spectacularly and effortlessly as Ronda did.
anyone else think ronda fell weird? like a video game glitch
>>63587469
If you want to move to texas then just move
>>63587518
I'm not saying she wouldn't win but that's a different matchup. Ronda doesn't wrestle she doesnt shoot for the legs and hold on for dear life she's also not patient and rushes her opponents also she always advances positions causing escape situations
The rest of the high ranking bantamweights are content to lay and pray and that's Holm's bigest test
>Mfw I was too busy typing "EXPOSED" in the game thread to actually watch the fight
>Watch it a second time and see Ronda getting beat up more than I actually remember
Anyone else know this feel?
>>63587438
Cyborg is also much bigger and stronger than Ronda. Gina would be at least Ronda's size, likely bigger, and is a very legit striker with good TDD.
>>63587582
Yeah we can't think of Holly as a KO artist because we saw how her style flys against cautious girls and it turns out that it equals boring decision.
Dana must be shitting himself right now.
>>63587518
Yeah I agree, but she'd still have to put more effort into it than Ronda did, maybe only because kickboxing is so much more easy to replicate in training than Olympic Judo.
>>63587643
>no green hands
>>63587585
she was obviously out of it before that kick. she seemed like she was concussed from the end of the first round.
that left kick just put her to sleep.
>>63587643
I was nearly fucking hyperventilating during the fight. I had to hold my breath in between rounds.

ON YOUR KNEE PEASANT
>>63587585
Have you never seen a clean, out cold KO before?
I mean, I know they're rare for UFC women but come on.

Feels good to be a fight fan© don't it
i live for this moments

Kill yourself
>come on /sp/
>see Lousy Rousey got Crocopped
>Hype train utterly destroyed, UFC credibility in the trash can
HAHAHAHAHA
Dana White must be drinking himself into a stupor. If McGregor gets merked by Aldo the UFC really is in trouble. they are about to be WGAF tier
I wish I could have watched the fight live. What was /heem/s reaction?
>>63587411
Jesus, she was on absolute assault there
Why does Goldie still have a job? He's a lovable goof and all, but man, he was bad last night.
>>63584361
>thinking anderson won
>>63587585
No one, and I mean no one knew that head kick was coming other than Holly, Ronda was dazed and then she looks back and gets a foot in her face, the way she fell was typical of someone not knowing they just got hit. Like a sack of potatoes.
>>63587740
Dana pls go
>>63587807
>tfw my crush denied my hug
I might as well
>>63587823
gamethread it happened in is still archived,

>>63587818
Maybe they'll have to market dominant champions as just that instead of making characters out of randoms with hype
I tell you what though, they'll never call someone a once in a lifetime athlete again
>>63587830
>that rockstar line
Rogan had to check him on that bullshit, lel.
>>63587647
This. Dana must be crying on how to market Holly.
>>63587823
>>63560218
watch for yourself senpai i always do when i can't watch it live
>>63587830
>BEING ROCKSTAR IS TIRING
I wanted to strangle him
>>63587830
That was some of the worst commentating I have ever heard. Even Rogan snapped on him.
>schilling the fucking UFC game with Ronda mid round while she is getting BTFO
>>63587249
She was rocked by the first few punches in the fight and never recovered, her chin is shit
>>63587823
the thread went down a few times for me asI went to reload, hundreds of posts within a few minutes, she really was E X P O S E D tbqh
>>63587830
He sells excitement really well and has a great voice
Apart from that, yeah he's kind of really shit
>>63587705
heemspeak was going fucking crazy
>>63587848
Oh god fuck off.
>>63587915
Well I think that was her rushing in and being caught by humongous shots, can't say her chin is bad if it's being checked constantly by a champion boxer and she's doing just fine until she gets kicked in the head
>>63587823
A lot of "EXPOSED" spamming and HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
A truly euphoric moment. Once in a lifetime thread.
>>63587764
>I know they're rare for UFC women but come on.
thinking about it, is this the first time we've had a true sleepy in UFC for women? Ronda vs Betche doesn't count cause that was a liver shot that caused her to freeze
>>63587830
Was he that bad? I didnt watch till honda fight and i was too into the fight to care
>>63587823
>tfw don't have /heem/ open because it distracts me from the fights
>tfw missed being a part of something special
At least I saw her getting KOd in close to real time
>>63588003
>once in a life time thread
ONCE EVER, YOU GOOF!
>>63588003
>once in a life time
That term doesn't really apply to that thread. Try once Ever. There will never be a thread like that in all of human history...
>>63587985
>can't say her chin is bad
>Literally got KO'D by the first legit fighter she's faced.
She got dragged out of the 1st round and fell apart. Fighting for 20 seconds against bums never did her any favors.
can anyone link that video of that fan reaction where they all starting saying "noooooooooo omg noooooooo"
what are the possibilities that ronda could die from this still? like from a blood clot or something
that would suck
