ATM she's way overweight:

At this rate she's almost Gina status in terms of how hard its gonna be to make 135

If she doesn't bolt for Hollywood or a wrestling angle as Steph's enforcer in the women's division/lesbian lover, I wouldn't be surprised if her comeback fight is for the innagural UFC women's featherweight belt

See, Ronda's striking got exposed in the most savage of manners against Holm, she got outstruck every single second of that fight.

Now, anyone wanting to fight Rousey has a pretty clear plan, they're all gonna stand and bang with Rousey.

She thought she could rule the world with judo throws and perfect armbar technique, but her striking is not anywhere near champion level.
That's the problem with these female fighters, they don't do MMA, they do whatever they trained for in the first place and hope they win that rock paper scissors.

Obviously none of the female fighters have the striking credentials of Holm, but if they train enough on their standing game and takedown defense, they definitely have a chance against Rousey.

IMO that's why Rousey should not come back unless she's got her shyt together, and seeing that recent footage of her throwing lousy left hooks, she's not there yet.

Holm didn't stand and bang with her tho, she boxed the shyt outta her using foot movement and angles, plus she was strong enough to work her way out of the clinch. These other jawns at 135 don't have Holm's skillset to use her gameplan.

It's not getting pushed back. She just doesn't want to come back. Her old judo coach predicted she would quit if she ever lost cause she's mentally weak. She ain't even done any movies since that fight. They all got pushed back. Think about it, when have you ever seen a top fighter in their prime just disappear after taking a loss like that? Most would ask for an immediate remacth. She don't really have a fighter's spirit.

yeah I meant stand period, I didn't mean to say she was rumbling.

But here's what I was saying tho, that skillset can be acquired through training, obviously not at the same level of mastery though.

That's basically boxing 101, the footwork is probably the hardest part, these girls need to know how to get power out of movement and get out the way of these telegraphed punches Ronda throws.

Every time Ronda throws her guard's wide open, her chin's just sitting there waiting for a straight counter, I think someone with good boxing (not necessarily exceptional like Holm's) would be able to take advantage of that and get that KO.
