If Holm didn't have good footwork, she'd get taken down and get submitted. It's her years of boxing and kickboxing that allowed her move as well as she does.
Honda and her puddle deep division is beyond comparion. But, as an ex hardcore MMA follower, this is possibbly the biggest card ever. So please get your International Butt over to the crepid MMA subforum come fight night and deliver a one off RBR if you would be so kind x
Oh man, look at that replay!! Holm did a little G-n-P while Rousey was lying totally unconscious (but it wasn't intentionally dirty or anything on Holm's part, we're talking about the span of maybe half a second after Rousey fell, where Holm just had momentum and had no way of knowing she was out...but in the slow-mo replay there's no doubt about it...fortunate the ref jumped in when he did and not a moment later as Holm was feeding them out rapid-fire while Rousey just slept and took punches...)
Uh...first off, Holm is a 3-division champion in boxing. 2nd of all, she only has two losses, and she only has one defeat by actual knockout, and that was to Anne Sophie Mathis, who is a MONSTER, and she went the distance with Mathis in their rematch (her other stoppage loss was early in her career, on cuts)
