What's next for Ronda?
>>63620529
i'll tell you why.
had holly holms found herself on the ground for more than 15 seconds, she would be in a world of shit with ronda.
i know everyone here thinks ronda is "shit" but lets be honest, we all know why holly trained specifically in takedown defense and spacing for this fight. we all know that if ronda was smarter and had a better gameplan this fight would have been completely different.
not to take anything from Holm, because that chick is amazing, but she wasn't fucking with ronda on the ground.
>>63620660
A rematch because you have to beat the champ twice to be the real champ.
>>63619074
hah that's brilliant.
>>63620529
in all fairness ronda is still easily the best in her division. if she actually used her judo holm would dead just like everyone else. in the rematch shes just gonna flip her on her head and armbar her

She tried to though. At least 4 times in the first round. Every time, Holm countered brilliantly. Only once Ronda got her down, and Holm was already halfway out by the time Ronda did that slick climb to armbar (I love those). She even tried her famously deadly knees and Holm just responded with two of her own.
There was one interesting moment where Ronda had Holm against the cage, and she went for a sorta wrestling style outside leg vining which Holm dealt with easily. That moment stood out to me because I recall seeing Akiyama in that exact same position use a crazy cool inside leg reap instead which worked great and ended in a takedown that went away from the fence... it would have been interesting to see Ronda try that.

too qt tbqh, she needs to tone it down
>>63620797
not that guy, but ill answer for him.
plain and simple, ronda really didn't take holm seriously, and that cost her. Holm, on the other hand, took into account all of rousey's tricks, studied and did her homework, and knew exactly how to defend every single (albeit only 2) attempts to take her down. she literally didn't make the same mistakes all these other chicks ronda fought made, and it flustered her badly.
in any event, I think if ronda does decides to come back for a rematch, holly holm will be prepared, but ronda will have to brush up on some more of her judo skills AND learn how not to walk into a left jab whilst trying to get close.
tl;dr ronda didn't realize someone might pick up on judo throw defense.

I've always felt that in Men's Mixed Martial Arts, Judo provided an excellent defensive base, but was tricky to apply offensively in a no-gi environment which limits a lot of entries and finishes. Maybe the additional friction of women's MMA tops assists in getting that Judo going? Either way, Holm masterfully kept Rousey away from her hips (except that one time lol).
I liked this exchange in particular.

>>63620231
Outdated picture
>>63621247
you see plenty of judo in mens divisions
just most guys arent learning it in a judo hall now, they are learing it as an organic part of mma.
hip tosses, arm drags, foot sweeps, reaps.
honestly eventually MMA really is going to (if it isnt already) get to a point where there really isn't "styles" that people are mixing and matching, it will all just be organic parts of the same game.
Think about how many techniques not that many years ago people were insisting were "bullshit" and are now being used very successfully
MMA was the best thing to happen to traditional martial arts, because what its proving as time goes on is its not so much about techniques but how the person trains. I was around, and I was one of the people saying dumb shit like "karate doesn't work" and then machida popped onto the scene fighting almost exactly the same way he did in his point competition days.
>>63621372
Me again. Just watched the video.
What the FUCK was Ronda thinking trying to strike?
>>63621503

So no screen recording currently
My main issue currently is that the ufc.tv stream parameters are really unusual. There's very few I-frames, so if you don't use the slow accurate seek you can really miss the mark when trying to make a webm from a specific start point.
Hope you enjoyed my blog post, just a simple blog post, go to my blog, and learn about how I turned my knowledge into a garage full of lamborghinis
>>63621503
Ronda's strikes are just cheeky ways of getting the clinch/throw...
Also lol, where have you been the last two days that this is news to you?
>>63621503
She didn't have much of a choice, her judo throw attempts were stuffed except for one instance where holly simply denied her arm bar attempt.

kesa gatame is a super underrated ground position imho, even without collar grip it's good stuff
>>63621575
>When retards say Ronda didn't try to use judo the webm
She was getting lit up after 2 minutes and decided to go back to bread and butter and it got countered.
>>63621543
Holly had some outstanding takedown defense and ground defense. Is she still fighting out of Jackson's camp? I believe it.
I'm glad to see Ronda lose, for the sake of women's MMA. This will shake things up appropriately.
Given her Judo and BJJ, I knew Ronda's greatest challenge was going to be someone with superior standup.
>>63621613
I was working a 48 in the PICU. I'm a resident :(
>>63621613
Not necessarily. Corriea was a good example of her ability to scrap. She hasn't had to stand up to a world-class kickboxer who could stay on her feet.
>>63621633
Outstanding. I'm really happy to see this fight.
>>63621722
>Is she still fighting out of Jackson's camp
yup. Greg and Winkeljohn were in her corner. Best team in the world
>>63621613
yeah
i think ronda blitz is intentional because alot of fighters try to tie up soon as someone rushes to them, its not just mindless running
but the mistake is there, kept running at a straight line without head movement
>>63621633
>her judo throw attempts were stuffed except for one instance
Actually... doesn't it look like holly trips in this instance? Holly's hips are lower than Ronda's, and you can see Holly get the trip.
I realize that HH didn't *want* to be on the ground with Ronda... but what am I missing here?
>>63621633
>> judo throw
annoys the shit out of me when someone uses that word
there are like over 60 throws in judo
UFC really needs some fucker with a shred of judo experience on the mic whenever rousey or some other fighter with a judo background fights
>>63621747
Thanks. How did Rogan react when his favorite flower got stomped?
I'm gonna go watch the post-fight now. I bet Dana was holding back fucking tears. Or saying something like, "It was a great fight" despite his face telling a completely different story.

Well a lot of that gets taught in some of the other disciplines. I'll admit I don't know much of anything about Judo so I'm probably wrong.
I guess I was more referring to there not being many men who came from a Judo background. All the champs I can think of came from wrestling or BJJ.
>>63621778
this is what I think a lot of people dont understand about what it means to have truly good "striking" and why every time joe rogaine talks about honda's "elite striking" anybody who has been a boxer or a kickboxer is doing pic related
being able to string more than one punch together is not good striking. To be truly competent at striking is about the less visceral things going: distance, timing, angles and defensive movement
Any dickhead with a bit of training can throw one punch after another, its another thing entirely to LAND one punch after another, and do it while remaining safe.
Ronda got exposed by someone who can actually strike.

Can anyone answer this?
I'm samefagging, but I really thought Holly tripped her and then Rogan called out 'Ronda gets the takedown'...
>>63621832
I feel like you're splitting hairs here. Yeah, I'd love to hear the announcer say "Goes for the sick Hane Goshi" I recognize this will be nonsense for the layperson.
Judo throw is just as appropriate as saying "punch" rather than specifying hook/cross/jab.
>>63621850
I think you sort of answered your own question. It's not good for a weight class to be dominated by a single person. Ronda's dominance wasn't highlighting her excellence so much as it was a demonstration of the lack of skilled opponents.
>>63621859
>>63621899
Did we watch the same fight? They go bang for bang.

>>63621778
>but the mistake is there, kept running at a straight line without head movement
That's the biggest thing to me about the fight. The ringcraft of Holm allowing her to capitalize on Ronda's linear tendencies. She also turned Rousey around so much, it was like TJ vs Barao except instead of sticking to her opponent Holm cut a nice exit angle, reset, and let Ronda charge forward again.
>>63622123
Jesus christ, I'm not saying it was beautiful but Correia's gameplan was to win via dirty boxing and striking.
Ronda fucking beat her at her own game and we know that her striking was always weak. I'm only saying that she could scrap with her competition until they put a god-tier striker in there with the right gameplan.
>>63622210
>Jesus christ

>>63622098
>Ronda's dominance wasn't highlighting her excellence so much as it was a demonstration of the lack of skilled opponents.
To people that know anything about mma that's true. But the UFC hyped her up claiming she was dominating just because she was so good, and the casual fans ate that up completely.
>>63622174
>Holly moving her head to avoid punches
Is this allowed in wmma?
>>63622241
Well... Ronda *is* very good at what she does, to be fair.
>>63622241
Exactly. When Rogan said she was pound for pound the best fighter, I just lost a shitload of what little respect I had for his analysis.
Is her ground game leagues above her competition? Sure. That's what training since childhood gets you.
Was she a well-rounded fighter? I think this recent fight answers that.
It just sucks to hear that stated when there are some incredible athletes from the men's division who don't get the recognition because they don't make good magazine covers.
Just read the UFC 193 discussion thread on fark.com because I'm in my 40s.
It's a bunch of casual nerds trying to talk about MMA with zero memes or background knowledge of other fighters.
>>63620660
Lose to Holm again. An immediate rematch won't give her the time to develop the skills to beat Holly. Then irrelevancy in the division, then a drug test failure somewhere in there.

Maybe not...
The thing is, is that Holly Holm looked better than she ever has before. She actually fought better than any woman ever has before in a UFC fight. The power she was generating, and the precision, is something we have not seen before in any previous female fight in the UFC.
I just ... I don't even know what to think.

If you were a super hot up and coming fighter how would you play off all your victories leading up to the fight of your career?
Would you be cocky and showboat or humble and sportsmanlike?
I would personally do a little Shang Tsung "your soul is mine" pantomime every time I win as my opponent is lying on the ground from the TKO then end by slamming my fist down onto the ring to symbolize me crushing their souls. I think it would go over well with the crowd.

It's good for their evolution as elite fighters rather than their marketability as commercial stars. Women evolving their techniques and how they approach MMA as an art is more important than having a champion that looks nice, stars in super hero movies, and sells phones on TV.
Having an elite striker/boxer/kickboxer as champion for once is going to make the women in her division learn the hallmark techniques men have had to understand to survive in the sport since its beginning. In order to challenge Holm they will have to learn proper striking, footwork, cage cutting, patience, and overall decision making. Learning some bare essentials should also prop WMMA into more respectable territory. You see, WMMA isn't considered unequal to the men's half of the sport because the women's best could never hope to be on the same level as the men's best. Rather, it's considered unequal because women have never had to learn anywhere near the same level of fighting ability to compete within their own half of the sport. See what I mean? A male champion would need all the tools to stay afloat in his division. But here we had a long time women's champion who got by being great at one thing and one thing alone: grappling. Believe me, this is better for WMMA and I welcome it.

>>63622730

>>63623017
except Stipe arguably beat JDS. The truth is I dont think Reem ever plans on fighting JDS, he just takes the fight to remain relevant and then pulls out with an "injury"
I miss Georges...
Do you think UFC 200 will compare to 100?
Let's be honest senpai.
Henderson vs. Bisping spawned a thousand memes.
GSP defended his title and defeated a guy who was beating every ass ala Koscheck, Hughes, and Parisyan in Thiago Avles, the Pitbull, that looked really dangerous.
Then Brock Lesnar delivered the best post fight rant in UFC history after pulling what looked like "When Bears Attack" on Frank Mir.
Sexyama fought. Fitch fought. The undercard was pretty stellar.
I know we're six events off, but I just don't see how 100 can be topped.

>I do think we should be clear that ronda is pretty fucking good at the things she's good at, though, for what it's worth.
Oh, without a doubt. She's a world class judoka. Her grappling ability is remarkable. That's just one facet of the sport though and I think Holly Holm just proved to WMMA at large that even if you're Ronda Rousey, you have to learn to adapt to stay champion for a long time. I think with Rousey, WMMA just had their Royce Gracie. This one person just storms in and starts throwing around this style that nobody is very sure how to deal with and lights everyone up for a while, but if that's the only egg in your basket, people are going to learn how to combat that after a while. The men adapted to Gracie's BJJ and now every man in the sport does it.
>>63622914
>Why?
You'll find your answer in the next paragraph
>The flyweight division has a champ that is super technical and no one gives a shit.
I do. I get excited for DJ's fights because he's a technical master. He's thrilling to watch if you can stand a technical match that doesn't always end in a KO.
As for Ronda Rousey, I think this loss might actually be better for her as a mixed martial artist in the long run. If she decides to stay in the sport for a while longer that fight might fuel her to find a camp that can truly teach her striking techniques. Being surrounded by yes-men all the time wasn't good for her. It was certainly a bad sign when her coach sat her down and lied to her for her own ego and told her she did great, when he should have told her the harsh truth that she just got lit up for a round. Maybe she learns from someone who might actually be a proper instructor. I'd love to see how she looks with some improvement in that department.

>>63622331
Yes! This is why rematches are stupid as fuck, there is no room or time for improvement. I was talking to a friend about the rematch and she thinks she'll have a better chance at throwing Holly around, but I doubt it seriously. Firas Zahabi's breakdown showed just how to beat Ronda or at least negate her Judo. If she takes on Holly immediately after coming back from ring rust, i mean her break, she's going to be handled the same way. The UFC is setting her up for failure.

daily reminder
I think people want Rousey to be so much more than she is. We live in a world where women get sadly few role models, especially in athletic competition. People want Rousey to be flawless and emotionless—a combination of brawn, beauty, and sick burns against dicks like Floyd Mayweather. And she is... sometimes.
>>63623502
>Honda
>emotionless

>I get excited for DJ's fights because he's a technical master.
Good grief, how much does the UFC pay you to post here? The flyweight division has no draw whatsoever, it's completely boring.
>You'll find your answer in the next paragraph
You didn't answer at all. The women's divisions have no draw without Rousey, it being more technical isn't going to help. Of course, I see this as a good thing, I wish the women's divisions would go away.

Well if it's any consolation he works at Fox now. He's on UFC Tonight or covers Fight Nights. Generally trips over his words but he or someone at the table saves his ass. He's kept around because he knows what he's talking about and not Josh Koscheck bad.

It looks like that writer is just trying to generate clickbait. He's probably objectively wrong, but will always hold the same opinion because it's what puts food on his table.
>>63622686
He's one of my favourite fighters, because he's just great everywhere but his chin and lack of retard warrior spirit let him down. His gameplanning is what really makes me like him, I hope he beats JDS but I just can't see how it'd happen.
The first fight I saw was him getting rekt by Chuck Liddell, but for some reason I just liked Overeem more. Maybe it's because he was doing pretty well (though rewatching it Chuck was clearly winning) before he KO'd so hilariously.
>>63621827
>>63622083
You could see her elbow tucked in as she took Ronda down right? Well, she put that arm around Ronda's waste as she went to take Ronda down if we're talking about the same moment so Ronda ended up on top via turning her hips then went for the climbing arm bar which Holm escaped when Ronda let go of the arm with one of her hands to reposition herself to get the arm bar in.
>>63624072
>Yves he did
I thought that was hilarious
>>63623266
technique*
If Holm had just tried to push her way out instead of pulling her elbow in and getting her hips out of dodge she would've been flipped and subbed.
It was Holm's work in the clinch that took Ronda out of her game and made her stand with Holm.
>>63623179
i second that.
>>63622026
jesus that out of pitch recorder!!
>>63624336
Overeem needs to figure out that he's shit as a stand up fighter on the outside and needs to realize that he has to ise his striking to set up a clinch because his clinch work is the best in his division. Every time he clinches he murders people but he ends up getting cocky sticking his chin out and dropping his hands.

Do you think, based on how they fell (regardless of whether Ronda or Holly should get credit for the take down), Ronda had any hope of a RNC, Armbar, or dominant ground position (guard/half/side/mount)?
Also, did Holly wrapping her arm around Ronda as they fell help Holly in any way?
It's just a really interesting part of the fight for me and I don't know what to make of it.

Video has been taken down, anyways. Plus, I really have no idea how there could be any doubt about what moment I'm talking about in the fight.
>>63624789
I didn't really read your conversation. And it was taken down indeed. Motherfuckers. I'll take a look and see if the goofs on reddit have a mirror.
I didn't really have that much against Ronda going into the fight beyond thinking she's a bit of a bitch sometimes, but you can't deny that it was just the perfect destruction.
Completely outclassed on the feet, rendered ineffective in the clinch, had her signature maneuver defended against on the ground, even got taken down and lost the first round in her career (IIRC)
>>63624805
Well they do not. Shit.
>>63624789
Just so I don't have to read everything written, you were talking about the only moment when there was an armbar threat, right? If so, what was the question?

Eh, he probably used stills from Fight Pass, which are most certainly protected by copyright somehow. Since most copyright claims happen automatically, I'd expect it to appear sometime soon.
>>63624766
Wrapping your arm around Ronda is the last thing you ever want to do when grappling her because it plays right into her judo game. It's why even though Holly did the sweep Ronda looked like she was going to get dominate position which she then used to lock in the same arm bar she did against Zingano except this time when she was still trying to get into position Holm just pulled out of it.
The two biggest moments when it comes to grappling were when they were against the fence and Holm pulled her elbow in and spun off the cage as Ronda couldn't do anything about it due to the cage and when Ronda almost got the arm bar.

>>63624882
I'm just trying to imagine what would have happened if Holly hadn't wrapped her arm around Ronda as they fell.
So, I guess if Holly kept her elbow tucked she probably would have been able to stand up more immediately (i.e. not having to defend an armbar or another major threat)?
Is this guy legitimately retarded?
