Floyd Mayweather Defends Ronda Rousey Following Her KO Loss To Holly Holm
Mayweather opened up about the subject, and was very complimentary of Rousey, saying that he thinks she’ll be able to recover from the loss.
Ali’s final comment concerned the proposed rematch between Rousey and Holm.
Holm did admit, though, that she doesn’t want to take away from her own dominant victory.
Rousey now slips to a record of 12-1 after her first defeat, while Holm, 34, stays unbeaten at 10-0. “Her coach made her believe that, and the fact that she beat me standing gave her more confidence”, Correia told MMAFighting.com.
The boxer took to Instagram to thank everyone for their love and explain that she is doing well after she was hospitalized after her fight with Holly Holm. Rousey received stitches for cuts on her face and underwent plastic surgery on her lip, ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne reported.
Said Rousey to Fallon: “She’s undefeated and an incredible athlete”.
“I don’t think she should have a rematch with Holly Holm because I think it could go the same way the second time”, she declared.
Whenever the rematch occurs, Holm said, she’ll be ready for a tough fight from Rousey.
Joe Rogan, long-time commentator for the UFC, was captured on video immediately following the knockout, his facial expression a odd mix of bemusement and disbelief as Rousey is left recovering inside the ring. MMA fighter and Rousey’s longtime rival Miesha Tate told MMA News Source on Sunday that she was “stoked” Rousey lost to Holm.
Ronda Rousey has been backed to “make noise again” in mixed martial arts by Floyd Mayweather.
You buying it? Or is this just a few wacky promotion for his podcast?
“I was cheering for Holly”, Correia continued. She had me on the cage for a minute and obviously she was trying in for a takedown right there… she had a lot of things she was trying so I’m just glad I put in the practice.
