Just watched the fight myself. Kudos to Holm. She did a lot of moving backwards, but she also connected a lot of punches and had Rousey off balance all night. Rousey started getting desperate and looking amateurish. It was a matter of time.
The real question for me is why Rousey who spent most of her life competing as a judoka, meddling at the Olympics, world championships and won numerous international contests would try and box a ex world champion boxer having only spent this year learning to box rather than go after legs to take her down for the armlock ?!?!
That's what success and fame and being surrounded by the wrong type of people will do to a young an naive person. Make them feel invincible and forget how much hard work and self discipline it took to get them to the top.
Everyone told her she was the moste gifted and talented and greatest UFC fighter of all time -- and she foolishly believed it.
Also the EA Curse.
yeah i kinda got the feeling she went into this thinking i'm gonna show the world what a great boxer I am then after being popped and shocked a few times she as Missy said tried judo but by that time it was far too late as she was done.
didn't know she was on EA so that totally explains it![]()
