Boxing coach Freddie Roach is the latest person to weigh in on Ronda Rousey vs. Holly Holm at UFC 193. He recently spoke to FightHubTV to give his thoughts on the fight.
“I saw highlights of [the fight] and not the whole thing. I saw enough to see that she got beat up a little bit,” said Roach. “I didn’t really expect that. I did pick her to win that fight. I thought she would get Holly to the ground. Holly is not a great ground fighter but that kick was pretty good. Holly is a good fighter. She had like 31 wins and 3 losses. She had some legit wins on that record. All [Rousey] has is the ground game right now. She really needs to learn how to fight fights in the stand up. [Holm] came out as a leftie and a southpaw and Rousey had no idea how to deal with that. It was embarrassing a little bit. No one ever taught her anything about boxing.”
