Holly Holm (10-0) besegrade Ronda Rousey (12-1) via KO på UFC 193, men Sara McMann (8-3) tror inte att förlusten har brutit ner Rouseys mentalitet.
McMann tror att en rematch mellan Holm och Rousey skulle se helt annorlunda ut och förklarar att Rousey har kommit tillbaka efter att ha förlorat i judo. McMann förklarar också att Rouseys mentalitet var annorlunda i matchen mot Holm jämfört med hennes andra matcher.
”As somebody who is an Olympic athlete, who is also an Olympic medalist and a tournament athlete, it’s completely insulting to me,” sa McMann. ”It shows that people do not even understand what Ronda has actually done before. She got a bronze medal in the Olympics. That means she lost her Olympic dream, had her entire world crushed knowing she wasn’t going to be an Olympic gold medalist and she rallied the troops and came back and got a bronze. In a matter of hours, she got herself back together. That’s how you get to that level. It was really, really frustrating to me. Don’t think that she’s not resilient and she can’t adapt to those circumstances.”
”Did you see her?” sa McMann. ”Did you see her face? Did you see her focus in her eyes? Look at that and look at it compared to her highest level judo matches. Look at her other fights. You could see mentally she was different. Now, maybe Holly created that. Or maybe Ronda brought it into the fight. There’s no telling. Either way, she was different. But I can guarantee you it’s not gonna happen twice.”
