It all started with Trump joining pretty much everybody else online in criticizing Ronda Rousey, who lost in stunning fashion to Holly Holm at UFC 193.
Holly “the Preacher’s Daughter” Holm won the UFC Bantamweight belt Saturday, beating formerly undefeated champ Ronda Rousey in what was described as the “biggest upset” in UFC history.
Although it is doubtful Rousey would take up Mayweather’s offer, the idea of learning boxing from a fighter who finished his career 49-0 is definitely intriguing and could mark her return to her dominant form.
TMZ asked Holm how she felt about people “turning on” Rousey, including Lady Gaga and retired undefeated bozer Laila Ali, who described Rousey as “overrated”. I do think that I come from a more humble spot. This fight wouldn’t’ve happened if she hadn’t accomplished what she’s accomplished, so I have a lot of respect for her.
“Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to give away any bit of my victory, so I’ll take it. I’ll take the win and I’ll take that I took it dominantly”. Prior to this, Holm said that she knew that Ronda Rousey was beatable – despite her insane record before their bout.
‘I commend Dana White and the Fertitta brothers for being able to take a female and make her so huge in a contact sport.
