I was waiting for that one to show up

 

[ironcreed]

I think those last punches are more about convincing the ref to end the fight than they are about obliterating your opponent.

She still got popped with a hammer fist pretty good. As you can see in slow motion:

 

[Obliterator]

if UFC is smart they better start promoting holm like crazy. rematch is going to be batshit crazy.

The rematch will be record setting stuff for MMA if promoted right

 

[SolidSnakex]

Standard practice after a knockout.

They're airing an old interview of Dana on Fox Sports and Dana said that Ronda's bottom lip is split open and she's going to have to get it stitched up. He said that seems to be it.

Did that cause the massive cut because you can just see it ripping up.

 

[SwolBro]

Ronda didn't look much in shape to me. Was she even ready for this?

 

[vypek]

Ronda didn't look much in shape to me. Was she even ready for this?

Maybe she had a rough cut?

She's ready 365 days a year, bro.

 

[HabeeNo]

DAMN, complete ownership. This is like watching Ollie get BODIED by Ra's all over again lmao!

Very accurate post

 

[cdyhybrid]

She had to go to hospital for split lip, friends #Pray4Ronda

Robbie Lawler scoffs in her general direction.

 

[Tubie]

Joanna looks like she should also be in the hospital damn...

Uncle Dana actually do promotion?

That'll be a sight to see.

Yeah, her chin splits open. Good catch.

Wouldn't be surprised if she has been slacking off from all the success. Classic beginning of Rocky 3 syndrome.

 

[BadAss2961]

Ronda needed this humbling. I might like her again depending on how she responds.

 

[Meccanical]

Literally hit her with that YEET!

 

[ldcommando]

Holm arrived

[oneils]

is holm at the conference? not one question asked of her yet wut.

 

[bean breath]

Guys, take a look at Holm's abdominal muscles. That is not natural. She's clearly on PEDs, which will give Ronda a clean slate for the rematch.

 

[vypek]

is holm at the conference? not one question asked of her yet wut.

She is. She is talking now.

 

[Yaari]

Came in late. Shes there now

 

[Angelus Errare]

Holm straight up Zoom'ed Ronda.

 

[SolidSnakex]

"Ronda didn't get exposed tonight" - Mr Dana White

Yeah, it was very clear in that entire Fox Sports interview that Dana is very pissed. He's also making sure to not say anything that could hurt Ronda's image.

 

[Megatron]

No. That's how boxing is. And boxing is actually worse for your health/brain because of it. It's actually safer to get knocked out once, than to get knocked out, allowed to get back up, and knocked out again.

Yeah, that's a different sport.

You want the concussed person to be stood up, given 8 seconds to shake the cobwebs off, then get concussed again? Because that's boxing. And boxing is more brutal than MMA. At least in MMA when you get KO'd the first time they stop the fight. I've seen boxers go down like Ronda, stagger back to their feet, and get knocked down again and again in fights. It's not better.

And that makes sense, but still, wouldn't then the right thing to do be give her a concussion test and if she fails, the fighting over? What boxing does is bad, but that doesn't mean we should let people get punched in the head when they're unconscious.

And yes, I know we don't have fool proof concussion tests out there, but if think we know enough about them that we could have three doctors on hand who can rule on whether or not she can get back in the ring.

Ronda was knocked out, she wasn't getting back up. That isn't what boxing does in that case. A knock out means the fight is over.

Also, I appreciate the two of you talking about it rationally and not throwing out insults for whatever reason like 12-year olds like some other posters are doing,

 

[Guru-Guru]

Went out for an hour or so...I'm guessing Ronda isn't coming to the conference?

 

[Dr.Acula]

UFC 200

Shit writes itself.

It's in July though. Do neither of them fight until then?

Don't think so. Might still be at the hospital.

 

[charsace]

I can't wait to come back to this thread in a few months for some quotes.

Ok? Ronda got tagged a few times, didn't learn anything from it, and kept running straight at Holm. Watch Holm other fights in the UFC. They stayed out of range from Holm and didn't chase her around the ring. You see the same thing every time with counter strikers.

in the heat of a fight the opposing fighter doesn't know if someone is out, or how quickly they can recover. You have the benefit of watching a gif over and over. For Holly all of that happened in the blink of an eye. Fighters are taught to fight until the bell or until the ref stops it. It's not a perfect solution by any means, but fighting is a dangerous sport and the fighters know that going in.

 

[Angelus Errare]

"Mr. White, when we gonna cook again?"

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Holy shit Ronda got tore the fuck up lol. Looked straight up amateur.

 

[Blackstarhat]

She got sent to the ER.

 

[zewone]

Ronda was going to take a break until UFC 200 if she won anyways.

That was her and Dana's plan.

 

[vypek]

"Mr. White, when we gonna cook again?"

lol damn

 

[Ray Wonder]

lol Ronda got kicked so hard in the jaw/neck

 

[Sibersk Esto]

"Mr. White, when we gonna cook again?"

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I mean, yeah, how about you also lay down and let her stomp you in the face?

It's easy to say she was obviously knocked out from your couch after watching the replay 100 times.

Not quite the same if you're in the ring and have the adrenaline pumping. You're trying to finish the fight.

Honestly, if they're not willing to accept the risks they should choose another career. Fighting is inherently dangerous, nothing is going to change that.

 

[ldcommando]

joanna is adorable

 

[Ninja Scooter]

man Jojo marks up so easily.

 

[oneils]

She is. She is talking now.

Came in late. Shes there now

yeah, that was funny timing. She showed just when I was wondering if she was there.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

"Mr. White, when we gonna cook again?"

yoooooooo

 

[NYR]

Holly Holm is pure class. Ronda needed some fuel and talked shit for no reason, that is one of the reasons she has so many haters.

 

[Future Foundation]

Faora'd

you just know someone is going to edit ronda face on super man and holms on the other person lol

A good death is its own reward.

 

[Guru-Guru]

joanna is adorable

Yeah, definitely one of the most likeable fighters on the UFC roster. I'm excited for her rematch with Claudia.
