Holm is going to get crushed just like the rest of them.

I guess it's the age old striker vs. grappler. I just find it hard to want to spend the money to see this card. I still may, but I think Rousey wins easily. I hope it's actually a good fight, because I do think that is best for the sport, but I can't see Rousey standing and trading, and have a hard time seeing Holm be able to handle her on the ground.

True, but Holly doesn't have the one-punch KO power that would make Ronda hesitate to rush in for the clinch. I'm not sure any woman does.

If Ronda ever loses, I think it'll be from someone taking her back and submitting her.

No denying that. I just don't see how she keeps Ronda from closing the distance. Holly would have to catch her with a freak front kick or something as she's rushing in.

I want to get excited about this fight, but it's going to be over in 30 seconds just like the rest of them. :/

If Holly lasts more than two minutes, I'll be impressed.

I think Holly is going to last more the 2 minutes easily

Not because I think she's even close to Ronda's level but just because of her boxing background... I personally see Holly keeping the boxing distance easing into the fight looking for Rhonda to give an opening in over aggressiveness.

Don't take what I'm saying is that it's going to be a close fight, once Ronda gets her hands on Holly she's going to steamroll her. I just see Holly trying to not engage for the 1st round

I do think Ronda is very beatable, her style leaves it for that. She's so aggressive and puts everything into it that any fighter that can withstand that onslaught could find a gassed out champion once they hit the championship rounds.

Ronda hasn't been tested or taken to deep waters, we don't know if when she faces adversity does she find a way to win or does she pull up. I don't think there's an opponent good enough to beat Ronda but I sure as hell believe that Ronda will beat herself in a fight and her opposite will be the beatifically of it

If I has Holly I do everything I could to pressure without engaging for 3 rounds, try to make her spend that aggression and frustrates her. She build that reputation of finishing fights and quick. Make this fight a boring a hell, act like you thought the fight was going to be harder, talk down to Ronda... and 4th round hope she's beaten herself because if she hasn't once she does get a hold of you... you're $%#&^%

I don’t know if anyone else is watching, but that Struve/Rosholt fight was brutal. I wish it was recorded so I could fast forward.

Rousey exhausted and looking desperate in round 1.

Wow. Kudos to to Holm so far.

Hats off to Holm, but what an absolutely terrible game plan from Rousey.

Way to aggressive, and over confident in her stand up.

My only disappointment is how this hurts the potential Cyborg fight. Yet again, the UFC is too late to get a mega-fight signed in time.

Good for Holm, though; maybe this will be the start of level competition in womens' fighting.
