I still like Rousey. She likes Vegeta and so do I. I also like Holm, but that's cause the boyfriend has that hometown pride thing about her being from New Mexico and hasn't shut up about her.
This fight really showed the difference in the type of fighters. Rousey specializes in Judo and Holm is a boxer/kickboxer. Rousey hasn't had a challenge really yet. The Women's MMA field is just not that big, the sport isn't big enough yet. It's still very young and in its infancy. So going against Holm was her first legit challenge. I defintely think she let her own hype get to her because it seemed that Holm was prepared for Rousey's moves but not the other way around. With Rousey losing, she's going to be able to reacess her gameplan and work harder toward being that champ she was. It's good and probably leveled her out.
The uproar over both Rousey taking people down quickly and her getting defeated is a good thing. It's boosted the hype and more people are actually paying attention to it. It's been great for the sport.
People are super fickle though. They are with most sports they know about but aren't actively following.
