Boxing champ Holly Holm might get a crack at Ronda Rousey

light sparring with UFC champ Jon Jones, holm is 5 foot 11 much taller than Ronda This will be the closet we get to a top level boxer going in against Ronda, Holm was a top level boxer and she has been fighting in MMA for hte past 3 years. What is good about Holm is she fights off the back foot and uses her foot work and movement to off set her opponents, a lot of guys on here are saying put Rondaa in with a boxer who can move and counter and she won;t have a shot well lets see if that works because holm is a very technical boxing mover but she is also is a karate fighter. I still favor Ronda big time she will bum rush Holm and submit her with a neck crank or armbar. http://cdn3.sbnation.com/imported_assets/1854953/00.gif http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/2938659/Holly_Holm_vs._Allanna_Jones_medium.gif http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/2938651/Holly_Holm_vs._Allanna_Jones_2_medium_medium.gif http://cdn.fansided.com/gif/Holly_Holm_vs._Juliana_Werner_1.gif But even if Holm were to some how beat Ronda this doesn't mean Floyd can beat Ronda, Floyd is more flat footed.

Holly vs Ronda is a WMMA fight I actually care about if it were to happen. Lets see her so called "KO power from knocking Boxers out regularly in training" when she fights a legit striker for once. As long as Holly stops the Harai Goshi and her one or two other Judo tricks Ronda has nothing for her.

I don't like to get into this, but how is that a sport? Someone kicking another unconscious then diving in to hit them in the head while they're lying on the floor has no place outside of a pub car park. Kicking somebody unconscious de-legitimizes the sport? So punching someone repeatedly until they get knocked out is OK but kicks are somehow unbecoming of a sport? Ever heard of Kickboxing? I can see the argument against ground and pound(but it is one of the most effective forms of combat) sometimes that **** is hard to watch and I'm an MMA fan. But don't talk **** about head kicks, they're just as legitimate a strike as any punch when talking about stand-up combat sports.

Just read Holly has singed a contract with the UFC. Idk who she fights first but I don't think she gets Ronda in her debut. Horrible idea imo. Let Holly ease her way in at least. I know Dana likes matching everyone fast... but no use in wasting a newly signed woman, in a very talent shallow area of the UFC, by sending her to Rousey right away. Rousey getting surgery anyway... at least put her in a few matches to get Holly out there and build her up as a threat

At :37 seconds Jones tries a liver punch but switches too the butt slap mid punch. Well done Jones, you're showing adaptability. :)

I remember watching many of Holly's fights live when I lived in Albuquerque. She fought at the Sandias and mostly Isleta Casinos. She's my girl and all - but Rhonda at the moment is just on another level. I think Rhonda can take her best punches and kicks. I give her a good shot at lasting the full five rounds and taking Rhonda to deep waters - but that's about it. Rhonda's judo game is just sick

You have a problem with the brutality of it. Dont go saying that it's not a sport. I agree. And I've seen boxers get nailed when they are out and defenseless. Jones Jr vs Lebedev and Mercer vs Morrison are good examples. By his logic, boxing is not a sport.

Ronda would submit her in like 30 seconds. And I'm being Serious here.

Ronda left 145 cause she didn't wanna be forced to fight Cyborg. Then she uses the excuse " get off the steroids and come down and fight me and you can make weight." Ask Gina Carrano if she can make weight and she wasn't taking steroids. She moved down to beat up smaller women cause she's afraid of Cyborg even off the roids. Rousey is the biggest hypejob UFC has ever marketed.

They're not in the same weight class. Size difference is huge. They are both bantamweights (135)

Holly Holm is finished the first time Ronda performs that judo slam on her.

The ground game is completely different from the standup game. If she gets taken down, it will get real ugly, real fast. She has a great punch-side head kick combo though.

I pick Holly Holm. She has got great Boxing Skills. Yup! Her Kickboxing has looked great so far in MMA too. She's been kicking the **** outta these girls that she's faced. Also a southpaw which is almost always a plus.

She has about a 3-5 second window of cracking Ronda and stunning her. If Ronda gets a hold of her, it's over. Cyborg is our only real hope. At this point I don't even think she can beat her. Why are you hoping she looses anyways? Cuz she is a trash talker? Brash? ****y?
