5 Reasons New UFC Signing Holly Holm Could Defeat Rousey

2. She Trains With The Best

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a8gozvoB7I Here's a little something about Holm that gets overlooked: She's gone into deep waters in fights. She has fought for five rounds before. Her cardio is solid. She can finish opponents in the later rounds. Then you look at who she trains with: Jackson-Winklejohn. Her boxing/kickboxing coach is Mike Winkeljohn. Fellow Jackson's MMA students include Jon Jones, Travis Browne, Diego Sanchez, Andrei Arlovski, Carlos Condit and the Karate Hottie Michelle Waterson. In other words, she's in extremely good company, and can train with some of the best in the world. Remember, GSP trained with Greg Jackson. She's a true martial artist, and has been working on her jiu-jitsu and wrestling as well - which she'll need in tip-top shape against Rousey.
