Ronda just doesnt recall the fight Holly. You knocked her marbles loose.

I love how she expands her answers to every single question; she leaves no doubt on her responses. Her interviews are one of the best in the UFC

[@nathanrodriguez914nr]

I really hope Holly realizes that the ONLY person that DOESNT think she is the better fighter, is Rhonda. Everyone else is fully aware Holly Holm is superior to Rhonda Rousey.

[@ICEMAN24072]

Good comment

[@QuestionMarkKick360]

I don't. I think it was a fluke. How many defenses did holly holm have? How dominant was she in her victories? How is she a better fighter?

[@za.monolit]

@@QuestionMarkKick360 she was THE better fighter that night. That's the point.

[@Wesmancan]

Why didn’t she want a rematch.

[@j.l.torres4610]

​@@QuestionMarkKick360because she KO'D Rhonda thats why shes better. If Rohnda didnt cry and run away after being exposed and KO'D twice she'd do it again. Rhonda was the best when the competition was garbage. She won with just a hip toss and arm bar. Not high level just fought cans.

[@vonclod123]

Holly absolutely is the better more rounded fighter than Ronda was. Much more down to earth as well.

[@colton4261]

This title is so classless and is exactly what Holly meant by the media creating drama.

[@cheeseball5030]

Exactly! The irony.

[@SasukesSharingan.]

Drama ? She said everything in the title . You must be one of the 10 people that read rondas comic book

[@alexarce6303]

“But she wasn’t better than me” 🥶

[@watchmanonthewall14]

I like Holly. She's professional. She's respectful. She's classy. And, she gave me one giant, satisfying thrill when she thoroughly dismantled Ronda, the excuse queen. Holly is now about 42 and not the fighter she was 8 years ago. But I will still be rooting for her to win this fight.

[@Skank_and_Gutterboy]

The best part of it is that she didn't one-punch Ronda so that she would have the "she caught me, lucky punch" excuse. Holly systematically took her apart so that there's no doubt who was better.

[@Lost_In_LA]

Ronda will write anything to push her book.

[@user-gh9tq6od9x]

Rhonda will throw anyone under a bus for a dollar 😂

[@Princeton_James]

I’m pulling for you Holly, you won me a bunch of money when you fought Rhonda! I saw four of your fights before you were in the UFC, and I knew Rhonda didn’t have any hands! So get in there ,and get it done, girl! Use that jab, roundhouse kick!

[@rakim126]

She was billed as the rousey killer...the one who maybe could win. And boy did she. Legendary night in Australia

[@JEFFKINGS]

Holly is a class act. All the promotional headlines I've seen for Ronda's book are excuse after excuse for why Holly whipped her, why she fizzled out in pro wrestling, etc etc. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a chapter dedicated to her blink and you'll miss it stint in Hollywood. "The baddest woman on the planet" has become a sad, bitter has been.

[@busterdougles]

The most polite “fireback” I ever saw.

[@user-wk5eu7vs6d]

Ronda was protected poster star for UFC until real talent came. Nunez & Holmes knocked her lights out.

[@kaliduncanel3356]

Miesha Tate choked out Holly and Rhonda beat her twice. Amanda Nunes got worked by Cat Zingano, Rhonda beat her too. You don't have to like Rhonda but, you also don't have to make up stuff to make her look bad. She does that by herself. She wasn't protected.

[@j_obaymaac2886]

Crazy that after that Rousey win Holly lost 3 in a row. Lost 6, won 5 and 1 NC in the next 12 fights. Crazy up and down career. That win against Rousey was HUGE though and cant be taken away from her. Sent shockwaves. And she faced killers afterward. Loads of respect for Holly Holm.

[@ComeHereGreatness]

A lot of people don't know this, but Kayla is going in to set the bar straight for Ronda. Ronda and Kayla were training partners at the same school. Ronda started the UFC for the women's division and Kayla is ending it.

Holly is fighting Paddy Pimblet. This is a Finkle and Ienhorn situation of the highest order. This is why cyborg/Wanderlei is so jealous and pissed off.

First off watching the Holmes, rowdy, Rhonda fight never gets old .. Holly kicked your ass.. enough said it’s in the video.. the problem with Rhonda she was built up as the great White Hope and you all know what happens when that comes about..🥊🥋👊🏻

[@lt2003]

Holly boxed professionally for nearly half her life. Got knocked out and was still willing fight the same girl on a few months notice and won. Ronda was submitting every girl in secs and barely got touched. If Ronda really got concussed that bad during training camp and sparring, just really shows how bad Ronda's stand up is. Ronda is delusional, she got dominated and KTFO. If anyone should be using the concussed excuse it should be Holly but she never makes any excuses

[@philmetal9604]

Don't sleep on Holly. She could ruin Kayla s whole debut

[@jamesrevere2992]

Holly got a fluke win against Ronda and has pretty much lost against anyone half decent since lol

was Nunes win a fluke when she made Ronda look like a person who had never trained ?

[@JColeJ97]

Holly looks tired😢

[@BKAD623-hz7ln]

The loss crushed Ronda. Holy is the better fighter because she comes back from defeat

[@ericenzo9302]

I love crazy ronda from the UFC time

[@nooneinparticular5273]

I mean, there is an argument that, if Ronda had a real coach instead of a bum like Edmond Tarverdyan, and if Ronda didn't buy into her own hype and convince herself that she's a boxer cause she knocked out the tin can that was Bethe Correia, maybe she'd have had a chance to beat Holly. But we don't live in that world. We live in the world where Ronda had a bad coach, let her ego get the better of her and tried to box with probably the most accomplished female striker in mma history. Holly is and was the better fighter. Not only did she beat Ronda, but whenever Holly lost, she went right back to the gym, learned from it and improved. When Ronda lost, she cried, freaked out, left mma, came back, demanded a title shot with an even better fighter than Holly; Amanda Nunes, got bonked even worse, freaked out worse and then ran away again, for good this time. Holly is a warrior, Ronda is very significant in women's mma history, no doubt, but she's a drama queen and an egomaniac.

[@OurWorldJC]

Imagine the crazy reaction if Holly wins by head kick.

[@jjcrazylegs7081]

Holly rocks!

[@PeterGibbonns]

So the reporting pool is so small that the same reporters get two or more turns?

[@ElvisComedy]

16:12 If you don’t want to put on entertaining fights then don’t fight for the biggest MMA promotion where people watch to be entertained. Rhonda’s attitude sucks but at least she understood the assignment. Holly is like ASMR MMA.

[@mheiseus]

Rousey got humiliated twice... Instead of training hard after the first humiliation, she goes back in, leads with her head again and get rocked.... Thats all you need to know.

[@matthewdessellessr8351]

Holly was the better fighter that night, and only that 1 night, and then fails to beat a bunch of fighters that ronda beat.

Go Holly, a true champ.

[@reissadams8986]

Make it happen again i really wouldn’t mind seeing this fight.😊

[@SnowdoniaSkies]

Ronda's reign was simply due to timing, as women's MMA particularly in the UFC was in it's infancy, so naturally there was a limited pool of talent. As time progresses the sport and athletes evolve, so at some point you're going to get your ass kicked. The trick is to be humble in victory as well as defeat, unfortunately Ronda didn't do that. Holly classy as always.

[@gantz0949]

Holly been the biggest disappointment for me. Ironic she talks about the Rhonda fight cause it was all down hill from there.

[@werightnow]

The last thing this woman should be doing is fighting again after having concussions let alone the fact that her opponent hits harder

[@jimsonjohnson3761]

Rhonda is not a very bright person. Watch a few interviews she has always not had much to say. Wouldn't expect anything else but a bad take from her.

[@jefft7705]

Ronda just don't wanna admit. Until Holly, she never fought a skilled high lvl striker. She fought Beth and that win made her think she was some kinda great striker. Then when she fought Holly, she got exposed. Same with Amanda. Ronda is a great grappler, but not striker

[@Nobody-bq7pl]

Rhonda is still recovery from that head kick holly gave her she forgot who she was lol

[@WWE2KUNIVERSEELITE]

Ronda got knock the fk out so hard that she forgot she fought holmlmao.

[@terranceotis9962]

She was so much the better fighter that she lost the title in her very next fight and lost continuously. After all, let's be honest. I know Ronda gets a lot of heat, but what if she had chosen to use her judo from the beginning instead of trying to strike with a legitimate boxer? That wouldn't even be a conversation.

[@RedceLL1978]

I think Tyson will be exposed, not because of Jake but exposed as too old to be doing this anymore because he'll gas out and look like he shouldn't be in there
