*****UFC 239 - JONES v. SANTOS and HOLM v. NUNES******

Holly Holm is UFC’s Buster Douglas... o_O

Holly Holm must beat Amanda Nunes or she'll be remembered as UFC’s Buster Douglas

There will be those who read the title to this and immediately draw the conclusion that it is a clickbait headline stuffed with hyperbole. However, as harsh as it may sound, it is absolutely true that Holly Holm must defeat Amanda Nunes at UFC 239 or else her legacy will be tied to that of James "Buster" Douglas. It'll be a legacy that is defined by her pulling off arguably the biggest upset in MMA history when she stopped the seemingly indestructible Ronda Rousey on Nov. 15, 2015.

And that's it.
 





Thanks for posting the article link, Star. That's from Andreas Hale, co-host of The Corner podcast out of Vegas. One of my fave shows. He mentioned writing it on one of their recent episodes. He's done work previously for BET and others, and currently works for Sporting News, DAZN, Yahoo Sports (still?) and more. Their podcast is great for anyone who hasn't listened ... definitely recommend it. Hiphop, pop culture, MMA, boxing, pro wrestling. Fun show ...

Fine ass Caroline got her ass on there didn't she? Lol

I follow Caroline on IG, she is super fit! She motivates me to get my ass in the gym some days that I don't want to go.

:lol: at her sliding her mike in on dude's interview.



BULLSHIT!! Holly is definitely no Buster Douglas. She is wayyyyyyyyy better than that. Her career has just been snake bitten. Meisha with that last minute choke in a fight where she wa winning. Germaine De Randamie's punk ass with all those shots after the bell that she didn't get penalized for. Holly won that fight. She's a very good fighter that just can't get over the hump at times, but she is no buster, pun intended.

That's the kind of shit that gets you known OUTSIDE of the sport. With the KOs he has against real killers on his highlight reel... You can tell Jorge is just built for this.



What makes it even more rewarding for him and fans alike is that he's long paid his dues too. Someone who has been around for years, had his ups and downs, but all along the way has faced a who's who of opponents. It's really exciting when people have that buzz around them and their careers. Really helpful with the media and social media availability now too. More people can see the highlight(s).
