Honestly, I wish Ronda had done this when she lost to Holly. Knowing how to handle defeat is a big part of martial arts.
Ronda had the side of her face caved in by Holly's foot ,, there was nothing really to say.
Say what you want about Mcgregor, when he lost to Diaz, no excuses, wanted a rematch. When Rhonda said she was suicidal, I thought this game is not for you.
i think ronda has this fake persona fit for wwe shiz n making heat.. shes earning bigtime there than making greatness..
Retro Radio You are beyond correct. However when your defeated handedly and your weaknesses are exposed to a point that your own fans are questioning your previous accomplishments and hard earned victories, it wouldn't shock me if she legitimately had a mental breakdown and we know mma left such a sour taste in her her mouth, along with a lot of well earned disdain. Almost all the time when a fighter loses, their fans are there to help them get back up, but Rhonda's own fans were using her as a public toilet. She found out HARD that she just didnt have the fundamentals to compete with these next level and next gen athletes. And with her entire life on the cover of every magazine and internet artical, the poor woman couldn't take a proper dump without the scummy mma journalists digging through it for clues on what her next move is. I think she did the right thing. Brian Ortega (although not nearly as famous, but he was UP THERE leading into the Holloway fight) went through the same exact thing and we are about to find out how hes gunna fair when he fights the zombie.
Holly “ISHHH ISHHHH” Holm
One who broke Ronda's streak. You always have our respect.
Her losing to Misha was so terrible. She hasnt looked great since either, but she'll always have a special place for me because of that Ronda KO. Same with Rose beating Joanna.
Jon is lucky to have a woman like her
@@SonGokuuuuuuu she's not his wife Lol what do you mean by having her
And took her soul
Send me your location He means they’re probably fwb’s behind closed doors. It’s been suspected for a while now.
She won my heart and never lost it.

Ew you like dudes too?
@@steve833333 simp boomer red blue racist millenial. Idgaf what trigger word you throw at me. You'd slurp Holly's cream of my tip.

Thirsty loser
So Humble . So Respectful . You’ll Always Be A Champ Holly .
I agree. Not only is Holly a GREAT fighter with a true warrior’s spirit, she’s incredibly gracious and humble and people ADORE her, win or lose, because of her genuineness. She’s definitely something special.
Without a doubt
Well said. Such a sweet lady. Ho⚜⚜y ℹs special and ahmeeee-ahzhing. Big fan here.🎀✴🕊
Exactly bruh I love Holly she is so great.
Humble huh? She keep saying her belt? She lost after 1 defense to Miesha.
So classy, level-headed, and down to earth. She is a true champ.
Hard to believe that it was 5 years ago and that she's 38 now. Time flies.
Maths can be mental
Handsome Jack the passage of time doesn't feel that long and if you knew anything about quantum mechanics you wouldn't leave such a sarcastic comment
@@josephbickerton1506 I do know about quantum mechanics I also know that anyone who tries to use them in a place like this is simply a dumbass trying to be clever. You don't have to try so hard to seem clever man cmon
@@josephbickerton1506 loser make friends maybe you won't be so lonely
Jason Glass I'm a British guy living in America I have more friends and puss than you could dream of cupcake
That Rousey KO never gets old 😊
She didn’t tap that Miesha fight. That alone made me respect her as a true mixed martial ARTIST. You lay it all on the canvas.
I love that that was before the Conor tapout forced by Diaz.
GFURSELF 2DEF damn that was such a good card I almost forgot about that. Now I remember saying that was weak af
She definitely has my respect too
Get slept by a choke isnt a badge of honor. Tap when your going out or risk looking like your dead following the Ref's stop of the fight
Werdxp when you’re Champ you do whatever not to lose. I understand every knockout take something out of you, but you often see fighter panic before it’s even locked and tap
1:31 Valentina smiling. Holly smiling. Rose totally baked and thinks she’s smiling
Lol 😂
💀😭
That shot was amazing, rose all dead hahaha
Thug Rose!!!!
Was that picture during the Joanna build up for the fight ???? Cause if it was she is zoned out and saying the lords prayer
Holly is one of those people who anyone would be happy to have in their life. Whether as a family member, friend, or coworker. There's just no facade with her. She's very genuine and humble. Hope she gets the belt one last time.
@Shawn Cahill exactly, shes a fake Preacher's daughter who is having an affair with a Married man, Jon Jones. Garbage.
@@healthyandrew5294 What happened with her and her ex?
She has literally fought all of the female mma goats u have to respect this woman
An hero.
She's now immortal She'll be remembered forever
Her memory isn’t immoral but as long as humanity survives she’ll be remembered Nothing is forever
AnaMkcalB TF2 you must be whole lot of fun at parties...
On the other hand. 💊I'm sharing Acts 2:38 with anyone who wants it bless.
How can you not love Holly? She’s so humble and hardworking. Respect 100%
Holly Ko'ing the immortal Rhonda Rousey is a moment in history every fight fan will remember I created a fight with Israel Adesanya & Jon Jones Hardest Mode Legendary Fight check it out and let me know your thoughts 👊 I'm 100 away from being monetized 💯 Help!!
I think the Misha Tate fight shows who Holms really is! No tapping out, no quit, no surrender, she went out & still kept swinging!
Is Ronda as good as she was hyped to be? no. but you can’t deny she was a good fighter, she finished 11 opponents within the first round. Including wins over former champions, Sarah Kaufman, Miesha Tate and Julie Budd. She was an olympian judo fighter, you can hate on her personality but you can’t deny she was a good fighter at her peak.
Yeah that was an amazing knock out but it was against ronda the movie star the actress not the ronda that trained day and night the ronda that was the baddest women on the planet and before you say it i prefer holms over ronda just calling it how it was
i dont remember
@@BishBosh24 like Cat Zingano who beat Amanda Nunes and Miesha who defeated Holly?
This woman is so classy and humble even in defeat that it makes me emotional. I'll always love and respect Holly.
kzhead.info/sun/YJyIndeip5yin3A/bejne.html
Regardless of wins and losses, she does not know how to give anything less than 500%.
Yeah punching air making boxing noises
Holly is a true legend of the game. Can't wait to see her go at it on saturday!
She’s hasn’t earned Legendary status yet.
I LOVE THAT IT WAS HER THAT HUMBLED AND HALTED THE HYPE ROUSEY EXPRESS 💯

Holly is a legend. The night she beat Ronda is still in my top 3 MMA moments of all time.
Mine to that was a amazing fight for her
The only big name that she beat. One hit wonder
@@devadasn SHE WON THE BELT.... THAT'S ALL MATTER...
And just like that Holly Holm will forever be known as the female version of James Buster Douglas. Wins the title in a huge upset and loses the first title defense!
"Holly hish hish Holm"

That's catchy AF.
Holly "gets a title fight" Holm ass
3:44 Holly “HAIAIAIAIIYAYAH” Holm 🤣🤣🤣
What is ish?
Love holly holm so level headed and a great professional hope she gets it done
How can you not love her? Shes just so humble and beautiful and pure. No fear no regret and shes just motivated to compete
She was scared of Amanda
The audio levels between music and them talking is atrocious..beyond that, hope to see holly win again soon.
Holly embodies the saying: "Speak softly and carry a big stick!" She turns into a savage when she enters the ring.......yet outside of it....she's soft spoken, classy, and humble....
Long live the Preacher's Daughter.
Jon Jones?
Weak simp.
@@dans4270 aw thanks
@@marcroberts5251 someone gotta wake you up lol
@@dans4270 complimenting a fighter doesn't make you a simp... i could see if he was begging to lick her ass or something...
"Everybody has an idea what I should be doing, but I'm too busy writing my own story ". What a brilliant quote!
I really like this woman, she is quite pretty and great warrior :) so all the best Lady ;)
simp spotted in the wild
she looks like Nada mlaticka
He really is pretty tho
Garbage Head She was probably super hot 10 years ago.
Holly is awesome honestly. Always good to hear how people stay motivated.
I think the Misha Tate fight shows who Holms really is! No tapping out, no quit, no surrender, she went out & still kept swinging! Love it!
She's a hardworker, I got so much respect for her. Love you Holly.
To fight this long and still be this motivated, nothing but respect for holly holm
*Holly Holm needs to go into the UFC Hall of Fame one day*
One and only.She was always my favourite from day 1.
Holly and Miesha have earned respect over the years, in victory AND defeat. True sportsmanship whether high or low, kudos!
♥️ the humble attitude. Holly is my favorite. Belt or not, she’s my champ.
I love you for being humble person..i am your huge fans..always take care.. GOD BLESS..
Wooooow congrats your ish ish today were phenomenal love it
I will always have respect for Holly Holm, she's a pure fighter.
What a gutsy together champion..............all the best Holly.
I love this woman! I hope that she gets this belt back.
"Come try me" that made me smile
Humble, grateful, class, elegance. She has it all. Hats off to her. She is my favourite female fighter.
Holly you will always be remembered as the chick that wiped the floor up with Ronda Rousey.... marvelous just marvelous
Such a humble athlete, much respect Holly
First time I've seen Greg Jackson with holly in ages be good to see him put as much time into holly as he did Jon jones
Legend. Champion and perennial contender.
I'll be rooting for the preacher's Daughter!
UFC is breath taking
Big respect 💞
how do you not love holly holm man..real warrior. hope she brings it this weekend. gotta love aldana too..
Shes amazing nothing but respect one of my favourite female ufc fighters
The Preachers Daughter was my moms favorite fighter! My mom just passed away at 70 years old. It was awesome seeing her in her late 60's getting excited when Ronda, Conor, and then Holly was fighting. "C'mon Holly!" She'd say. When Conor broke his leg she exclaimed "Ohhh No! Terrible!" But holly was definitely her favorite.
Your a warrior and a legend holly my favorite female fighter to watch keep it up 🥊
Probably the best thing I've ever seen on TV
Holly Holm Is a very smart , hardworking, beautiful lady with the desire to be anything she wants in life. God bless you and never give up on what makes you happy.
Love her determination
She has great precision in her strikes and especially her punches.
She’s my favourite She’s magnificent in every way❤️🖤🔥
Holly Holmn❤💪👍 from Philippines🇵🇭
That moment when she went for the kill against Ronda.. Simply magnificent! ♥️
What’s the background song at 0:42 anyone any idea?
The sight of Holly owning RR was so sweet!
I love Holly for real but how is she still a main for cards
Name recognition.
@@gofurself6224 Yup
she's an 18 time boxing champion and a 1 time ufc champ. smh casuals doubting holly lmao
@a b if washed up alistair roid rage overeem still gets main event it makes sense holly will too
I don't care Ronda was everything for women's MMA. My favorite fighter ever
Jade M she’s the reason women are even in the UFC wtf are you talking about
Jade M Ronda had a lot of haters but it blows my mind how many women I see who go out of their way to make negative comments about her. Do you realize how much she’s progressed things for useless bitches like you?
Jade M she’s the reason women are even in the UFC...idiots like you seem to focus on her “disrespect” when literally every one of her opponents have praised her for what she’s done for the sport. How can you possibly deny that she’s elevated MMA to new levels? She’s even brought more attention to the men! Anyone who even tries to argue against that is either ignorant or a hater.
@Jade M lol do you know what a hyperbole is? Have you never heard the phrase "this is everything, she was everything" etc. ? It's really not this deep lmao I have better things to do than to argue with a clown on KZhead...
505 represent!! Letz bring that belt back!!
What's the name of the tune?
all the best to holy holm from germany .you are the best wishes to you .
My favorite fighter👍
She's been one of my top 3 female fighters of all time and always will be.
Respect to you
The day Holly beat Ronda she did something very special for the MMA community and we will never forget that, even if Holly went on to lose her next 10 fights we will always respect her and be thankful for the joy she gave us after years of frustration at Ronda.
Shining example of how to handle both victory and defeat. Her whooping of Rousey is one of the best moments in MMA history.
A truly inspirational person to Women and Men alike.
Let’s go holly love holly my family is a huge fan of hers and condent also is the man
Holly is a legend. Her KO on Ronda is what first drew my attention to the UFC.
Holly to Ronda: Let me help you up, turn you around into this kick!! Will always ❤ Holly!
great fighter,great attitude,great champ,beutiful woman🏴
I have a lot of respect for her as a fighter and as a person, that doesn't change the fact that I'd like for her to get me in a full mount.
I'm always behind Holly ,I like her fighting style,amongst the female fighters to me she is a smart fighter followed by Shevchenko, I wish Holly the very best of luck in the upcoming fight🙏🙏🙏🙏
That is true everyone has his/her own history book
Holly 🙌🏼💙
So composed.
AMO vc lutadora.
Rousey's loss isn't what alienated her fans, it was the way she acted after the loss. People respect, no, people LOVE humility and come backs.
Rhonda didn't know how to act in defeat. she should have shook her hand.. Holly is a true class act through and through. cant say the same for RR
Huge respect for you. Great lady
Watched Holly in Legacy days and yeah, thought it was early for Rhonda match but saw that she had her at the weigh ins.. kicked myself for not betting on her. Loved watching the outcome in a full sports bar with all my friends, everybody going nuts or in shock, speechless. Great disposition, total fox & psyched she's still going after it.
boxing and mma legend
About holly in my humble opinion she is the most complete fighter for now , she is humble and determined and always exceeds her limits
I keep forgetting she lives in the same city as me
she's a beast love from Toronto
1:31 Rose face LOL
Instant classic!
Uh, don't you mean 1:31 ?
I love this girl and will support her everytime she fights. She's a bad motherfucker, dont anyone count her out, and also down to earth, with a golden heart. Much respect and love from Michigan Holly, we love you! ❤💯
shes a legend! go holly!
This Aldana/Holm fight is gonna be something for sure. I'm more pumped for this one than for the Ade/Costa thing, simply bc the skill-gap was too big last week. But this weekend, both sides are very game fighters. Size, strength, grappling, cardio, boxing, kicks, footwork, both have it all. Holly brings tons of 5 rounds XP while Aldana brings some more violence. I hope both don't end up in the ER, bc we might see some blood this time. Can't wait for those 5 rounds
OMG Holly I love you. I will always be a huge huge fan and I thank you so much for exposing Ronda Rousey's hands, I know you will never admit that being how nice you are. You are the first female fighter I ever became a fan of and you pushed the female side of the sport further with that win. Thank you Holly.
My favourite of all time, boxer, kickboxer, talented, beat the bully 🥊🥊🥊
Her worrying about being a one hit wonder doesn’t really apply with her yeah she may have had the belt once but I’ve never not been impressed with the athleticism or technique she has. She just wants fighting and that’s dope that’s legend status
She was sorta a one hit wonder tho, she has won since Rousey but she couldn't even hold her belt
Handsome Jack yeah well the reem hasn’t even gotten a ufc belt and look at his status. The belt doesn’t always play into the effect. They’re wonderful fighters to say the least making the one hit “wonder” Inconclusive
@@lakotabergman3975 Yes i love Overeem too what's your point tho? Reem is not really in title contention nor is he seen as a great main card fight
She IS a one hit wonder. She chokes when she fights decent fighters. She’s barely bellator material
Lakota Bergman the reem has beaten countless legends. Holly barely beat Raquel pennington lol
Keep up the fight. You are fucking amazing okay. Get that shit done. I’ll be cheering you on.
She will more outrules any other female warriors if technical grappling is down onto her. I love the way she does with absolute attitude.
Don't get me Hyped up she ain't beating Amanda "truck driver" Nunes in this life time
Let's face it, only Petr Yan and Volk are beating Nunes for her belts. Because I don't see any woman having a chance. Maybe Bullet, the second fight was close. But she already lost twice to Amanda, so no. You would have to be a man to put her away.
Yea I don't see Nunes losing anytime soon, that girl is just a different breed of fighter. Without a doubt the goat in the women's division, I wasn't a believer at first but the way she man handled cyborg made me realize just how good she was. I honestly thought Cyborg was gonna ko her like she did everyone else tbh, but she definitely proved me wrong! Gotta give credit where credit is due, and it's gonna take a woman that's a freak of nature to beat her and take her belts from her. She'll probably retire as champion before I see her losing, cause I just don't see anyone coming close to beating her unless it's a fluke win where she breaks her leg or something in the middle of the fight.
Well, she sired a child because she's a man, duh!
Thats funny because I’m pretty sure Nunes has losses in her career and has been KO’d, in the UFC too....
