Has anyone noticed that they're not showing the actual knockout on ESPN...they are showing film footage of the fight right up to the knockout and then still photos of the actual kick....what's up ESPN ?




I'm thinking its because it was a PPV and they have to wait a few days.

I'm not really a fan of women fighting but I can't wait to see this..Rousey needed a beatdown like this...humble her and slow down the " she could kick most men's ass" nonsense.
No kidding, she is on record saying she could beat Cain Velasquez, former heavy weight champ. Lol

Pretty sure Holly wins the rematch to Ronda. Holly may loose to other fighters, but she will knock out Ronda every time they fight.
Next fight could go either way tbh. Ronda now knows she can't stand and trade with her. The game plan would be takedowns and try and make her submit. Holly seems to have above average takedown defence and a good knack of getting back up. Holly could use that and try and ko her on the way in.

Either way she will make ronda one dimensional.
She should have to face 1 or 2 challengers before ronda too.

I hate to be a game planner but here goes.
Rhonda needs to walk her down, put her against the cage and grind for a round or two to gas
her all the while going for the takedown.

Stand up cardio is different than grappling endurance.
Just like I count on Rhonda not becoming a great striker anytime soon
I count on the striker fading after 10 minutes of grappling against the cage.
Also its hard to kick while against the cage.

To me looked like Dana was pretty devastated, and the talk of rematch was pretty import to fast track. I think we all were a bit stunned. When Ronda was eating straight rights in round 1, it was like what the fuck? Then round 2 was like, holy fucking shit!!!!

I heard them say on Sportscenter this morning that the rematch will probably be in July.
I think that might change. Rhonda planned on winning and was going to take a break and Do small movie roles and stuff. I don't see her waiting until July to fight again. This loss is already eating her alive, i bet.

Anyway, can You see her coming back after she lost so definitely? Credit to Holm, she just followed the plan and executed it well making Rousey look like a rookie. And then this kick.. Holly looked ripped too, surely trained hard while Ronda was busy outside gym.
