If she wins, we’ll give glory to God, The Beautiful Black Woman in the Sky, and if she doesn’t (the way Vegas is sayin’), we’ll at least feel better for having whispered a wish and a prayer 🙂
UFC 239 is upon us! (07/06/19) Please pray for Holly. LOL!
Holly!, Oh Holly! Please pray for Holly Holm tomorrow at UFC 239. Why? Well, because it’s the right thing to do, ROTFLOL! But seriously, she has been through a lot and is, in her heart of hearts, as nooice a lady as you will find this or that side of the octagon. Jon “Dese Nuts” Jones wanted some o’ dis but prolly di’n’t get any ‘coz Holly got good nose. LOL!
OK, OK, kidding aside, what’s there not to like? AB-solutely no haterade for Amanda Nunes, but just looking at what Holly is, in a sport where humility and level-headedness are often lacking. (Member Honda? oh Ronda!? and Jo-Jo-Jo Joanna JÄ™drzejczyk? No?)
Well for crude comparos check out this full Holly Holm interview with ESPN’s Brett Okamoto:
WEAR & TEAR: The big, big concern in this fight, if you equalize everything, is relative freshness and the wear-and-tear factor. Even though on paper both fighters have the same number of losses (4) Holly has been through way more brutal beatings than Amanda Nunes. Miesha Tate, who choked her out, was the most kindly beatin’ Holly received probably in her entire career. And we are not even talking about a boxing loss in 2011 which, according to one astute fan commentator “took years off Holly’s life.” Then to add to our litany of concerns, Holly’s last four losses against Cris Cyborg, Germaine de Randamie, Valentina Shevchenko and Miesha Tate, have all come in rapid succession in about 1 year 7 months. Compare that with the last four of Nunes’ losses (against Cat Zingano, Sarah D’Alelio, Alexis Davis and Ana Maria) that have been spread out over 6 years and 1 month. The only thing going for Holly is that her losses were against a veritable murderer’s row of fighters, but that does not exempt her from the said “wear-and-tear” factor that is danger of seeing her slide into the category of the Chris Lebens, Diego Sanchezes and Wanderlei Silvas of the world, and that is just not enviable company to be lumped in with for the sake of her health and wealth. Being a Cowboy Cerrone of the women’s MMA comes with a high, high cost – and one that cannot accurately be tabulated until the later stages of life …. which is kinda scary …. and depressing at the same time.
So, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, if you have a heart that beats, pray for Holly.
BNSG all up in ‘im feels, LOL!
