Answered prayer for " The Preacher's Daughter"
And the
new!! UFC women's bantamweight
champion!
Holly “The Preacher’s Daughter” Holm
Holy Holmes just shocked the MMA World by dethroning the
heavy favorite and the 6th time champion Ronda Rousey.
The stunning performance happened in front of 56,214 fans Inside the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne,
Australia. As per the record this is thus far the highest gate attendance
recorded in the history of UFC.
Just like what I have mentioned in my previous article back
in Aug.
“I can’t think of anybody else in the UFC women’s division other
than Joanna Jedrzejzyk who can put up a good stand up fight against Holly Holm”
Not to take anything away from Ronda Rousey who had defended the
belt 6th time, Holly Holm striking skill set is on a different
level.
Ronda approaches the fight with relentless pressure as if she is
on a mission trying to prove everybody that she is not a one dimensional
fighter.
She kept coming forward and did not prioritize her ultimate game
plan of taking her opponent down and finishing by a submission.
On the other hand, Holly Holm is perfectly executing her game
plan all throughout the fight; Keeping her distance and being elusive.
At some point in the 1st round Ronda was able to take
holm down but failed to finish her.
Holm went back to business the moment they went back standing,
landing some kicks and punches
She also took advantage of the rare opportunity to take Ronda
Rousey down.
Ronda ended the 1st round with heavy breathing and
bloody nose.
The 2nd round; Ronda Rouse still confidently putting pressure
on the challenger until Holm landed a clean left straight that put Ronda in
unstable position then followed by a high kick that knocked Ronda Rousey down.
The slowmo replay shows that Rousey looks sort of unconscious for
about 2-3 seconds when she hit the floor but Herb Dean didn’t stop it there and
Holy Holm quickly made sure that it’s over by landing a strike and a hammer
fist.
The side and oblique kicks and the elbow strike remind me of her
teammate, the Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
While the footwork and the cardio play a big role in this
historical fight; we must give credit to Jackson-Winkeljohn
MMA Academy for preparing Holly
Holmes for the biggest fight of her MMA career.
Indeed it's an answered prayer for " The Preacher's Daughter"
