Normally I wouldn't care but since Ronda is so outspoken and opinionated about EVERYTHING that its kind of entertaining poking fun at this. She spent all of that time **** talking Floyd Mayweather for his history of domestic violence and then gets into a relationship with a married guy accused of beating his wife.

I think so. It's pretty much the case that if she has ever publically given an opinion on anything in an interview she has said the opposite in another one

Prediction: correct Holm   wrong Decision  

Too soon ... what's she gonna change in her game in let's say a year or two (she'll be pushing 36 by then) that'll change how she fights Ronda?

This is only too soon if you think that she beats Ronda by sprucing up her grappling. She doesn't. IF she beats Ronda it's with tools she already has in bundles (distance management, footwork, basically her striking tools).

If Holly's ever going to beat Ronda it's now.

Holm is 34, it's not too soon....She just will never be good enough.

Maybe so, my point is that her only blueprint to beating Ronda is with tools she already has, so "too soon" is wrong. 

She either can or can't now, nothing she can attain in a year or two will give her more of a chance against Ronda than she already has.

Let's be real, Ronda is a huge *******. She walks into Holm like a complete **** and gets pissed off when contact made? Not to mention the fact Holm seemed like she was about to extend her hand to shake Ronda's right before Ronda got up in her face. 

Ronda in general just rubs me the wrong way. I cannot stand her.

Now check out this angle. See Holm go nowhere near Ronda's face only for Ronda to literally FORCE Holm's fist into her cheek.

I'm not sure if that weigh in drama was real or not, seemed real, but could be fake.

Ronda does seem insecure despite her dominance.

Prediction: correct Holm   wrong Decision  

Doesn't look fake ... Ronda got too close into her grill and Holly kindly showed her the way out .... Ronda can't expect every chick she faces to fold at the weigh ins ... Holly's been in enough fights in her life to not let a chick get the better of her in a face off ... 

And @mikey, I agree, Ronda's got a weird blend of extreme insecurity along with extreme confidence, if that makes any sense. She treats every confrontation with her opponent like a life and death situation and truly gets scared (and completely ****** up emotionally on her own admission) leading into the fights, but on the other hand she truly believes no one of them's going to beat her.

I think her pushy mother, while creating this beastly competitor, kind of ****** her up emotionally, she's all over the place as a person, but hey, she's gone and made the most of it so there's that.

@yoss, I think that's actually a perfect summation of Ronda's psychology. Also, I love the ballsy pick in Holm you've got there. Good luck, you might as well throw 10-20 dollars on Holm in a real life bet, just in case you end up being right.

Heh heh, it's a longshot but I'm trying to will it into happening... I actually thought about putting some money on this fight just in case, just haven't got round to doing it yet... I need to see how the whole betting on fights from Israel goes... don't know how it's taxed, if it's legal all that ****. I'm gonna kick myself in the balls if Holly wins though ;)
