So Amanda Nunes beats Ronda Rousey in 48 secs... fight is stopped as Rousey takes dizzying shots to the head, without defending herself, but staying on her feet -- fight is stopped.
Rousey again makes the mistake of trying to out-strike a superior striker (as she did against Holm). Simple as that.
Rousey has more game as a world class Judo fighter, but doesn't bring it to the table. And now, may very well retire after taking home a 3 million dollar purse.
Meanwhile... Holly Holm just lost a unanimous-decision fight against Valentina Shevchenko, who had just lost to Amanda Nunes, who had just beat Miesha Tate who has retired. The plate is clean...
Holly Holm is just too old to start improving enough to beat the young Nunes or Shevchenko.
Actually, Valentina Shevchenko fought Nunes quite well. I see Shevchenko as a smart, fast, strong, very well rounded and young fighter who is improving very quickly. Like Miesha Tate, she likely can't out-strike Nunes, but she can out-smart and maneuver her.
Thoughts?
