Clinching is Holly's thing, she has done it in lots of her previous fights, obviously not against someone as strong as Kayla. It seems pretty obvious why she wanted to clinch early on her terms because if it worked that one time, it could have put Kayla of her game plan, otherwise she just backs up the whole time waiting for Kayla to grapple her.
No they don’t. Holm was at least 150lbs and Kayla was around 156lbs. There’s less than 10lbs difference between them. This is just the first time Holly is the smaller woman at 135, as she’s usually the bigger and stronger one. They both looked rough at the weigh in - but everyone is acting oblivious to how Holly looked just because she has consistently made 135lbs whilst Kayla has been competing at 155lbs but wasn’t even cutting any weight to compete there.
Why Holm was in the clinch is beyond me and everyone else? The thing that bothered me the most was yeah Harrison made weight but when she walked into the octagon she was at least 20 to 30 lbs heavier. It was obvious that Holm was closer to her weigh than Harrison. I'm not saying that made a difference but something needs to be done
Um why does something need to be done??? Anyone can cut that much weight? Nothing needs to be done other than more weight classes, but then it'll be far too spread out. ANYONE CAN CUT THAT MUCH TO WEIGH MORE SO IT'S NOT AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE
@@fresh0678 Because it makes fights about weight cutting and not about the skill/toughness of the fighters Weigh-ins should be on a scale at the edge of the ring just before the fight
Kayla shows up suprisingly after USADA is dumped hmmm... I imagine her lady button is larger than most of our units. She'd piss plutonium if she was tested. It's unfortunate and frankly not even fair. Holly was fightiing a man in there, lets be honest.
She just doesn't look like, she is by a mile ! For info, in the Judo circuit, Ronda has a record of 56 wins and 19 losses, and Kayla 208 wins and 50 losses.
Kayla’s head kick followed by that athletic takedown is the most impressive sequence I’ve seen in women’s mma 😂 imagine if she wasn’t severely weight drained
Why so much Kayla hate? She's always been big. I can't find a single picture of her life where she's not big. Sometimes people are just bigger. Is she juicing, I don't know, they have testing, worldwide, and as far as I know, she's never been tagged. Does that mean she's not? Idk. But, I don't hate on her just because she doesn't have a barbie body. And, people make it seem like "cutting weight is easy." How many UFC fights had to be scrapped because someone had to go to the hospital because of it? It's not easy, esp. for her. I heard someone comment somewhere, her fight was essentially against the scale (making weight). As for her filling out again to her weight before the fight, that's normal and a typical advantage in combat sports. All the hating aside, This might have been a better fight if Holm was 10 years younger. She's not in the age range where she needs to retire from competitive combat sports. It's just not a game that is kind to the aged. If the UFC could coax the Lioness to return, now that could be a fight. But, again, Harrison really does need her own weight class -- if she could make weight again, I suspect she would ragdoll Nunes as well.
Yea she was competing in the 78KG (172lbs) category in Judo (Olympic and pan am games) . To put things into perspective, that's men's welterweight ( GSP, Usman, TYron Woodley, Covington etc.). She's a really big girl.
@@jodyayers7234 That would be quite the fight! at 145. Though not sure how much the Lioness has left in the tank, if her heart is really in combat sports anymore.
Congrats to Kayla. Well Done. That last harai goshi or uchimata throw was perfect. Even with the sprung floors in the octagon, that throw must have hurt Holm.
@@edwardkelly3280Kayla is better at taking her opponents down and doing damage from the top, but Rousey was a much more dangerous submission threat with her signature armbar. Kayla has submissions too, but she’s not as slick as Rousey on the ground.
Unwise strategy by Holly wanting to grapple with an Olympian . She got her face smashed pretty bad. Too much ego. Could fight in a distance and take he apart. But holly after a few elbows landed in her face.
Holm said “I’ll be back” Really??? she’s 42, when is enough going to be enough?? It’s time for Dana to have that talk with her because clearly doesn’t realize she’s way past her prime.
Fighters switching to the other fighters strengths seems to happen somewhat frequently and I don't get it. Like Rousey trying to strike against Holm and Nunes.
Kayla definitely looks juiced, and her strength tends to support this notion. I'm wondering what the UFC are doing to ensure athletes are not cheating with drug enhancements.
I definitely expected this because of the weight difference. With SNAC and others doing their thing; these athletes can completely rehydrate overnight. It was impressive to see Larissa Pachecho beat Kayla last year.
Kayla competed at 172 in the Olympics and won gold not just once which is hard to accomplish but twice. The sacrifices she's made to get to that level, remember there's over 120 nations that compete and try qualifying, it's not a small pool. The US should be proud to have such an accomplished olympic combat sport athlete instead here she's being bashed...lol.
Holly is 42 ... It was a Good Run 😁👍
Totally agree
Even if she was 30 she wouldn't win about this man
@@boxjellyfish9819Unfortunately, so true
Holly accomplished nothing of significance since 2015. One hit wonder.

Kayla did what Ronda thought she could do to Holly
People forget or don't know that in the IJF circuit, Kayla was much stronger than Ronda. Not even close.
So true Rhonda isn’t half the judoka Kayla is
@Graemesbullys Yeah, kayla competed way more
Ronda and Kayla have competed against each other in judo. Ronda won each time. She was considered a prodigy in the American Judo scene.

HOLLY IS OVERRATED
Didn't know USADA stopped testing already.
As of January 1st, 2024, USADA has nothing to do with UFC.
They stopped in Jan... The UFC has their own program now. That's why she can join and fight in the ufc while on PEDs
Because everybody is on steroids!
It’s a man
My thoughts exactly. Kayla didn’t look like a man last year
Holly made a big mistake by clinching, what was she thinking lol
She was fighting. Tougher to do it in the actual cage than just typing it in text.

Her Judo skills payed off
Judo and 500mg of test
Unlike overhyped Ronda, Ms Harrison can strike with the best of them. This fight may retire Ms. Holm.

Impressive women. As a Judoka, I'm glad that Kayla cleared the air on behalf of Judo women.

Yeah she fought Rondas meaner buffer older brother
huh?
She didnt someone asked her this and she said that kayla has her own skill set and that she wasnt going to prepare for a fight with ronda

She’s already a CHAMP ❤
RESPECT ❤❤
Kayla is jacked man, she gonna be champ for sure
Judo is unknown to many in mma but this win and the fashion of the win is not a surprise
Holly always fights like she’s on speed.
This is legit, when I watched the stream I thought this was sped up so I slowed it down to 0.75
🤣😭😂
Kayla is what rhonda shouldve been
Kayla is and roided up to the max level, she isn't passing any drug test for the next couple day wtf
the tests aren't difficult to pass... just like there weren't with usada. designer drugs are ahead of the testing
Why is everyone so surprised? She’s naturally a larger Olympic gold medalist cutting down. That’s her leaned out judo muscles.
@@BoyBawalKonothing natural about her physicality
Its clear that she is on heavy roids
More muscular than most males who fight in the ufc
I disagree, USADA is gone and the new testing regimen is a lot less sensitive.
brilliant dominant debut performance by harrison. wont be long before she holds the bantamweight belt 👍🔥
That trip was a thing of beauty
Unwise strategy by Holly wanting to grapple with an Olympian . She got her face smashed pretty bad. Too much ego. Could fight in a distance and take he apart. But holly after a few elbows landed in her face.

Harrison has to be on the juice. In the post-fight interview with Rogan her arms were bigger than his.

Copy that
Overclassed and Overpowered! Awesome job Kayla! Time for a new era!
Holly is huge but Kayla is ginormous. She'll never again fight at 135. Murderous amount of weight to cut. Great debut but too risky for your health.
This was holms last match. its over.
She tossed Holly around like a ragdoll 😂
Holly Holm: im a former world champion kick boxer but im gonna grapple with this 2 time Olympic gold medalist judoka
Fighters switching to the other fighters strengths seems to happen somewhat frequently and I don't get it. Like Rousey trying to strike against Holm and Nunes.
Phenomenal debut!! Wow impressive! 💪
We will never forget that beautiful kick she gave Ronda
holly fought a big dude
@TNT - please don't put spoilers in the title of the video!!!
Holly is 42, that is just crazy for a women. The fact that she can still compete at this level

Holly has looked slow for years. She moves like a granny now 😂
Dude look at the size of that chick compared to holm. That is deffinitely not a fair fight😢
No More USADA Presents: UFC 300
How did the women’s fights go?
Well said
Kayla was 25 pounds heavier than Holly. Huge weight advantage.
Weight bully?
An exaggeration. She was bigger, but Holly cuts weight too, and did fight at 145lbs before.
Seems like Holly's coaches have been steering her wrong last few fights
Holly is 42 years old, her best years are long gone. Hopefully she will retire
Totally agree 💯
She fed her up and that kick 😂
2:40 - My heart sank for the 3rd person not getting in on the hug :(
Kayla did good He overpowered Holmes for sure.
Harrison is a problem! She strong AF and can’t wait to see more 👏🏾

Kayla Harrison. Beauty, brains, badass. The perfect wife. Her husband is one lucky dude.
Holly vs kayla is basically ronda vs Holly uno reverse
Holly ❤❤
Very impressive win unranked against the #5 in her division and former champion. Lookout Pennington.
Judo is soo effective in the clinch and sranding position
its that judo..... more like knowing how to get by testing lol
Kayla is the new Hulk Hogan!
Judo, next level.
This is a PERFECT example of why weigh ins should be the DAY of the fight
That would make the fights slower and weaker, plus it would endanger the fighters from dehydration
Stupid idea
It’s crazy how dominant Kayla looked
Kayla ragdolled holly 😮😂
A lot of men always get intimidated and insecure when they see a big, strong women's fighter.
Harrison has such a sneaky inside trip
she has this east germany swimmer physique complimented by this navy seal jaw line , what a beauty
So Kayla is basically a more aggressive gritty version of Ronda Rousey, got it. Gave Holly the same kick she gave Ronda followed by a power slam.
Kayla definitely looks juiced, and her strength tends to support this notion. I'm wondering what the UFC are doing to ensure athletes are not cheating with drug enhancements.
So if someone is very strong they are automatically on juiced? She was throwing her using a legit judo.
Ayy rogan😂 vitor is a bad dude😂😂😂hilarious absolutely hilarious hahaha ha
She fought a man. And there’s nothing anyone can say to disagree.
I definitely expected this because of the weight difference. With SNAC and others doing their thing; these athletes can completely rehydrate overnight. It was impressive to see Larissa Pachecho beat Kayla last year.
The announcers and the crowd sounded so unhappy. 😂
I see Holly was attempting to do her “hold them up against the cage for the whole round” move.
That’s a freaking dude. Fits todays craziness
Jesus Christ how did she cut that much weight? She looked like she was 20lbs bigger than Holly. That was a nightmare
Kayla looks completely natural, no need for speculation
is there another company besides corrupted yt who has alot of ufc too. its time to get a revolution about main providers.
Always good hearing face the pain again
Fair play to holy she keep's going
