[@jeffgillson]

Nah... there was more head trauma waiting for her in MMA. She had nothing for Amanda Nunes who beat the Shiznit out of her and still has the titles (145&135) Holly would beat her again and everyone would know how bad of a weakness her striking is. She made the right choice. She has money, no need to take brain trauma.

[@firstnamelastname-ko3ge]

@@jeffgillson i disagree... If she joined the aka team and worked with dc and khabib i think she would dominate.. Judo is troublesome in mma because you work from the clinch and to get to the clinch you have to go through punches and exchanges, *BUT* if she worked with aka and utilized wrestling and THEN work her way up into the clinch i think she could beat anyone on her best night, and khabib showed that... I think ronda would beat every woman besides amanda and valentina but if she fought smartly i think she would beat amanda if she utilized great wresting

How do you score a point

[@lucaskivits5805]

Throw them on their side. If you throw them flat on their back, you've scored ippon. Ippons is like a knockout, so the match is finished after that. You can also score ippon by armbarring them, choking them or pinning them by 20 seconds (those are the rules nowadays), in 2008 the rules were a bit different.
