Holly Holm was written off by the media.

Why is anyone surprised, that's how the game works. You take the semi attractive looking WW then add a Jeremy Lin streak performance to her resume and people fawn over her. Ronda Roussy is the MMA version of Anna Kornakova, neither will win shyt but will always get top billing over the people that deserve it.

Ana was much more attractive doe, but I feel ya

The GOAT sport is about to run Women's MMA...only a matter of time before a still elite Male Boxer jumps over to MMA and dominates as well

That could never happen the other way though (Former MMA Champion dominating Boxing)

Women's mma is really in the stone ages compared to male mma. It's far less of a learning curve for a female boxer to make the switch. Holly is still up shyts creek vs cyborg

Anna never got top billing over any of the top female tennis players. I literally can't even think of an example of that being "how the game works". Rousey was dominant in a pool of nobodies in a newly formed league. Of course she was gonna get attention. Who deserved it before Holm knocked her out? Who are these other semi attractive white women who had "Jeremy Lin streak performances" that the media fawned over?

Berto said he's thinking about, his dad was an mma fighter, and his brother was too even though he sucks

but Berto being training for years he could easily cross over and light they ass up

But why would boxers take such a monstrous pay cut and go to ufc?

.
So Anna didn't get more endorsements than Venus and Serena??? Sharapova isn't in the same boat as Kornakova, getting paid more in endorsements? How about 3rd pace Lola Jones (biracial) getting top billing over the dark skinned American women in the Olympics?

I hope Rhonda doesn't get into a rematch without mastering boxing. She going to get her ass whoop again if she doesn't learn how to strike. She should come back fighting a few matches against other opponent before she face Holly again. Holly has too much experience and crafty techniques for Rhonda. Holly is a fukking machine.

Shes too hollywood and her work ethic is too suspect to master boxing
Its not like a john jones/anderson silva level of her being so dominant or physically gifted she can come back and train to beat someone belt to destroy her weaknesses

This bytch had no shot and her team and everyone who watches mma knew it except the casuel fans and dana is gonna ea toff her for the next two or three fights because hes gonna have to have her co main event with holm and give them different opponents to build confidence in ron again...then the rematch next fall where all likelihood ronda gets beat again

He could do it for a good pay day if he fought Conor Mcgregor

Holly Holm has a boxing career record 33-2-3 and won 16 boxing titles in three different classes She also has an undefeated record as a MMA fighter. Holly has three-time the fighting experience than Rhonda, yet the media had her as the underdog vs Rhonda. Also, I looked her up in Youtube and found that she an all-round athlete. She was a swimmer in high school and was into gymnastic. This woman is an ultimate terminator.

I'm stunned that the sport media and many of MMA fans written off Holly and predicted that she will lose against Rhonda, while ignoring her successful boxing record, historical achievements, and vicious fighting skills. I don't see how Holly swift victory in defeating Rhonda is an upset when her resume indicated she is the superior fighter. This should have been recognized by Rhonda and her trainers and Rhonda should have not allowed herself go against a shrewd boxing fighter without the proper striking techniques. She step into a fighting match that she can't win. Until she learn how to strike and move her feet quickly like an expert in striking, she doesn't have a chance in defeating Holmes in a rematch.

really wish I was up on this stuff and bet.

Rhonda was obviously a creation of a machine to bring in marketing dollars.
