So say Floyd dances around A GASSED out TERRIBLE footwork Rhonda for 5 rounds without thowing ONE PUNCH. Are you re**** MMA fans still going to believe she beats ANY top class boxer? This is how tired she gets after A FEW minutes of not getting the take down. Yeah if Floyd LET the clinch happen then didn't KO her in the clinch before the take down he would lose. But the odds of that happening are very very slim. Rousey would have to cut the cage off(She wouldnt be able too.) Then cross striking range without getting KO'd. Dont say low single because that is just stupid. Rousey is a D- level wrestler. She uses the clinch. Her low single is probably terrible. Then she would need to avoid the KO in the clinch. JUDO doesnt teach strikes from the clinch. Then if she tripped Floyd to the ground she could win. But not likely AT ALL. Every fight starts STANDING AND AT RANGE. You can a tell a noob when they completely ignore RING CRAFT, FOOTWORK, and crossing the different striking ranges. And also IGNORE striking in the clinch which is NOT apart of Judo.

Ehonda Rousey has terrible footwork, leg kick defense and stamina. Dont say the Tate fight because Tate has terrible cardio as well. Holm's cardio is off the charts.
Hey, stop now. You are getting me interested in this Rousey-Holm's fight. I was determined not to buy this fight as everybody says it's another Rousey blowout. You really figure a Holly has a chance?
Alright, I'm not a professional fighter/coach/cutman/commentator but I do know a bit about fighting. All I have to say about this video is, "no ****". First of all Rhonda is wrestling with a wrestler. Rhonda is not a wrestler. That's like boxing with a boxer if you're not a boxer. It will be very one sided. My background in fighting is very heavily geared to ground fighting because of my small size. That's not to say I don't have a very good street fighting stand up game as well (kick boxing and brawling). All I have to say is this: whenever I fought a wrestler with my grappling I would notice they would tie me in knots all day long but could never submit me. Then, when they would try to, or even open themselves up to do a punch to my face, they would immediately realize they were WAY out of their element and I would grab their arm, neck, leg, whatever and submit them easily. When I fought boxers it was the same thing, they would do a pretty good job at first but because they don't know the first thing about submission defense they fall quick. Wrestling and boxing are both very good. They both work well in streetfights up to a point. BUT at that point you need to be more well rounded. If this video was in2015 and Rhonda was trying to submit this kid, I have to believe that she would. I really like Holly Holm but the only chance she has is if Rousey tries to be cute and box a little. FMJ has a puncher's chance and that is it. If you think otherwise then I'd have to believe that you have never sparred or fought with a real master in judo or juijitsu. I'm 160 and was taking out dudes that were 220 in Army combatives like they were nothing. I get to Japan to train with some middle aged 125 pound Japanese guy and I felt like a friggin idiot cause I couldn't do anything on this guy. Just saying.
I agree with most of what you are saying but don't buy into this Rousey - FMJ myth. Those who do are one eyed fan boys - the fact is it would never happen except in stupid reporter's fantasies and FMJ with a month's cross training with a top MMA coach would destroy Rousey in her own format. :deal Allow FMJ a bit of leeway in this ridiculous non event and let him spend some of those $$ on a MMA coach :hey, put it in the street and a FMJ boxing - wrestling combo is more than enough. Add a bit of **** like fish hooking, slamming, head butting, biting and cork screwing and it's an excellent antidote for someone trying subs. Not allowed in comps though.
Because in reality it's about as deep as pin weight boxing - division will evaporate the day Rousey retires.:deal
Everything you are saying is true. But a male is a male and a female is a female. As a Canadian I have seen some terrific woman hockey players that go on to win Olympic medals. Put them in with top male players and they get crushed. That boy rolling with Ronda, if you look closely wasn't really trying.
lol. There are guys who aren't even trained, no more than weekend gym warriors, who could literally kill Rousey in any sort of fight simply by virtue of being male, much bigger and several times stronger than her. And I'm not talking about your 250lb plus monster either, but in shape, strong guys over 180lbs. That would be enough in most cases. We are a ***ually dimorphic species and the difference between men and women is no joke. So seeing her get ragdolled by a similar sized 15 year-old male should come as no surprise to anyone with a functioning brain. It's human biology, she is a female and therefore can't compete, simple as that. I think the UFC are using Rousey to cash in on femminism and the politically correct 'everyone is equal at everything in every way' rubbish that pollutes society.
