No longer a excellent game opinion by @HollyHolm I will utter it bc I’ve made the mistake sooner than too. she shoulda stayed on the start air & compelled Ketlen to be the aggressor. Holly’s an shapely counter striker, she tired herself out by enticing in the clinch too worthy. Ketlen makes it see easy

Teachable moment tonight: Per the scoring standards, it’s miles amazingly refined to take fights with clinch retain an eye fixed on. Holm and Vieira were exchanging strikes in the clinch that no longer often rating, the judges are procuring for who is doing more hurt and that tends to occur in start home.
