Have to say NOTHING BUT CLASS from Holly as usual.

I agree a CLASS ACT & VERY EASY ON THE EYES !!!!

Holly is great...No trash talk...always respectful...Pure class, win, lose or draw...I like Holly...From the UK

[@mf8838]

Holly’s win over Rhonda is still one of my favorite moments in UFC history. That head kick will always make me smile.

[@scottperrier8574]

She's really pretty has nothing to do with anything but...

[@sherriefox8838]

Head kick officially & permanently smacked that smirk off of RR briad face. RR had 2 advantages, built like a guy & that hip check . Combined they caught smaller built opponents off their game. Once Holly showed the world RR weakness it was referees call, OVER, this Fighter is DONE!!

[@OldGriz708]

That fight really exposed RR as the one trick pony she really is. It really showed that she can't take a punch either.

[@billsimmons5186]

Holly's an Example of how UFC Fighters should carry themselves!!! She's a Classy Women !!! She's definitely one of my favorite Fighters !!!

[@boogerracing]

Absolutely love Holly! Classy and tough as hell

[@MrMZaccone]

Ronda's (no "h") "place" is in the MMA record books and the Hall of Fame. Holly Holm won't make it there. Best female boxer of all time, though.

[@observermi8796]

Holly gave me one of my 'All Time' most exciting moments in UFC history when sh Dominated Rousey. She'sa class act Awesome fighter and wish she could br Champion at least once more.

[@yonihales9133]

if Ronda comes back hope she has taken this time to learn to box . This is a totally different woman's UFC since her time

[@MrMZaccone]

Rather than learning to box, Rousey needed and needs to find new ways to get to her strengths to convincingly reenter the sport. Edmond Tarverdyan had her convinced she was something she was never going to be. A true champion knows their weaknesses and strengths and forces the battle into the latter while avoiding the former. Meisha Tate's defeat of Holm is a classic example of the ability to do this.

[@BBBYpsi]

@@MrMZaccone Hopefully if she does come back she gets different coaches. That guy was a horrible coach. Imagine if she actually had a good coach.

[@MrMZaccone]

@@BBBYpsi Yeah. I didn't understand why she was suddenly trying to be a boxer instead of just learning enough striking to neutralize it and get to her specialty. At the same time, it was obvious that Holm had been training for Rousey and pretty much ONLY Rousey for probably two years. It explains why her other fights were so lackluster and why Tate was able to take her out with nothing but a different style of grappling. Holly's trained reflex when engaging with Ronda in the grappling range was to "sag" and sit back. Classic defense against turning throws. If Ronda had just switched to a double leg, Holly would have been ripe for it. It's in the Judo arsenal, referred to as "morote gari" in that style.

[@dubongros3108]

She doesn't need to box. This is MMA not boxing

[@MrMZaccone]

@@dubongros3108 Boxing is a good thing to understand. You can put it to good use in MMA. But grappling has great advantages over striking. Royce Gracie proved that to the world nearly 30 years ago.

[@paulsigmon7263]

Great fighter, always goes for it regardless of the opponent.

[@kurtschulten5369]

She's awkward, stiff and at 15-7, she's average.

[@shaney8275]
