5 Reasons New UFC Signing Holly Holm Could Defeat Rousey

4. She Finishes Opponents

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bJQIvvU_Bc Of her seven career professional MMA fights, Holm has finished six. Now, Rousey has never been finished, but she's so dominant in the ring, you have to wonder if, should a fight go the distance, anyone would be able to top her. Strikes though? Anyone can be knocked out. We learned that when Chris Weidman punched out a clowning Anderson Silva. Yes, some people are harder than others to take out, but Rousey is still yet to be really tested in that department. In her sixteen second fight against Alexis Davis, Rousey ate just one punch. With Holm, barring a surprise quick finish like against Davis, you have to believe she would eat a couple more. Interestingly, Holm's finishes all come outside the first round - so the real key will be getting Rousey there.
