New UFC champ.

Just knocked Ronda Rousey the FUCK OUT!

Holm dominated the entire fight. Would have never believed it

Bet Ronda will be available for Mania now.

So was the fix in??

No she just got whipped.

Here is my favorite part:

Kicking someone in the neck and knocking them out cold.......that's a sport!
But my favorite part is that after you do that to your competitor, you get to punch them in the face 3 more times! Even after they are clearly unconscious and laying on the canvas!

Hey look Spanky does not like something in this section.

There is a shocker.

Maybe get back to the college football section where you actually have some knowledge about what you are talking about.

Hey maybe point out what I was wrong about?

_________________

This was a huge upset in the same vein as Tyson losing to Buster Douglas... But it was great to see as Rousey is a disrespectful person to her appointment while Holm has been professional and respectful. Also shows what great coaching can achieve...

The knockout was a thing of beauty!

What is wrong is the fact that you only show up here to post stuff like this...


We get it. You do not like wrestling. You do not like MMA.

Stick to sections you like.

So was my post incorrect?
I like boxing. Nobody gets 3 free cheap shots on an unconscious opponent in boxing. Ever.

I'm still trying to like MMA and will watch it once in awhile. I just saw Rousey go 4 rounds against an oponent on Fox Sports last week. I think it was UFC_168. I thought nobody lasted more than one round against her. The aura was definitely obliterated tonight.

I'll join in here with Spanky. I hate Wrestling because its rehearsed & fake, & MMA because it is just too barbaric for me. I like Boxing.
Having said that, as a guy who roots for underdogs, I am glad to see Holly beat Rhonda. I'm tired off seeing Rousey everywhere & would rather see Holm get some pub.

I dont think anyone said no one lasted more than a round against her ever. Miesha Tate went quite awhile with her, not sure if that was the fight you are referring to.

I think her last 3 fights were all over real quick.

Not sure what posting that picture is trying to prove. It's no doubt a barbaric sport. There shouldn't be a lot to debate here though. Yes, they need to do a better job of reffing it where someone is not getting hit while already knocked out, but there's always going to be blood and fucked up faces in the sport. They know what they are getting into.

Literally no other "sport" has this problem, right?
Take the $/opportunity away for repeatedly cheap-shotting somebody......the problem ends tomorrow.
Fine them, suspend them, ban them, whatever.

It's literally inhumane, IMO. Somebody is KO'd, and they are allowed to repeatedly pummel their head. All other sports are actively trying to reduce head trauma, except for boxing which is staying status quo with no cheap shots on an unconscious opponent.
There is no realistic explanation for allowing that.

No, that's boxing.
And (real) wrestling.
And her first sport of Judo, to some extent.

Being allowed to punch an unconscious opponent in the face 3x is not designed to "hurt" an opponent.
That's meant to maim/kill.

Holm's deltoids are out of control. Not natural.

You know the sport better than I do, I would guess. Aren't there rules against hitting someone whos unconscious? If not, there should be. If there is, enforce them well. Not sure what else needs to be said.

i'd believe it. ronda literally AND figuratively went hollywood.... she believed all the hype around her and got super cocky like she was tyson in his prime.... i mean comeon she's at red carpets for her movie premiers and hosting sportscenter and everyone wants a piece of good ol judospiff nowadays, so i mean, she liked to think that her shit don't stink but *** BAP BAP BAP *** I'M AFRAID I'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS...... lean a little bit closer and see that roses really smell like boo-boo

only ? is if ronda goes out and has 1 more fight in the form of a rematch to try and vindicate this loss and then retire as champ and resume being hollywood's go-to ass-kicking-beeeyotch for all the movies..... or maybe she calls it a quit after this cuz if she got a rematch and lost it'd take a lot of luster off of her career and she'd really have to parlay into movies/WWE cuz her legacy would be tarnished, unless people wanna go "yeah she was the baddest bitch on the planet who nobody could last more than 1 minute with in her prime..... except holly holm!"

seriously b4 this fight ppl on the LAW were saying MAYBE 2-3 more fights and ronda's done.... she's filling up her schedule with movies and i really think she gets into WWE for some easy huge paychecks when she's done with dana/UFC..... but like, man, now that this happened i can honestly see her winning a rematch to vindicate this then retiring on top, which i'm thinking right now she might think was a pretty good idea (but who knows what she has left for dana.... maybe she couldnt escape to WWE without doing this fight + more?)_

still odd that sportscneter showed the highlights of the fight then immediately went to a little puff-package on rousey as champ, which you could tell was made to show in the event of her winning to be like LOOK AT HOW GREAT SHE IS..... now i guess they just tweaked out the voiceover to say LOOK AT HOW GREAT SHE WAS! =D

Speaking of movies, this has to be a great day for the MCU. All she talks about is wanting to play Captain Marvel. My god, if they let that happen we know it's all over.



Alas, it won't. Thankfully, it'll go to a Hollywood Hottie (Charlize Theron, Yvonne Strahovski or Emily Blunt), who can at least act.

The only thing I can say is how big is the talent poll in MMA? Can anyone name the top 10 in line for the title?

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

Doesn't Ole' Holly have a boxing background?

Boy, I remember those halcyon days when Help Me Ronda was going to murder Floyd.

She got murdered last night.

Not quite Tyson/Douglas odds (37-1?), but yesterday on ESPN I saw they had Rousey at -2000 and Holm at +1000 (nice spread...jeez)
