Raquel Pennington (6-5) har mött Holly Holm (9-0) och tror inte att hennes chanser att besegra Ronda Rousey (12-0) på UFC 193 är stora.
Pennington tror inte att Holms chanser att vinna är särskilt stora, då Pennington förklarar att Rousey är bra på att spela det mentala spelet och besegrar sina motståndare redan innan dom hunnit kliva in i oktagonen.

“Ronda is great at playing the mental game; she’s good at beating her opponents mentally before even stepping in the cage, and I know Holly is extremely nervous before going into the cage,” berättade Pennington för MMAjunkie. “Holly does have pretty good takedown defense as far as wrestling, but with Ronda coming from a judo background, that’s a whole different ball game. It will be interesting to see how they match up. With Ronda being the athlete that she is, I definitely think she will pull the win out.”
Pennington tror att matchen mot Holm kommer att vara längre än Rouseys andra matcher, då Holm kommer ifrån en boxningsbakgrund och kan hålla Rousey på distans.
“I don’t think it will be Ronda’s typical 14-, 34-second fight; it will go a little bit longer just because Holly comes from a boxing background and therefor she’s going to be a lot better at getting in, getting out, cutting angles and not just backing straight up like all the other girls,” sa Pennington. “She’s definitely going to have to use her boxing, she’s going to have to use her angles, and she’s going to have to let her hands go and keep Ronda at a distance. Just pretty much outbox her.
“She can’t let Ronda tie up with her. Nobody has ever seen Holly’s ground game, so it’s hard to say what could happen down there. But with Ronda coming from the background she does, you don’t want to be on the ground with her.”
Pennington tror att Rousey till slut kommer få ner Holm på marken och submitta henne.
“It will definitely go a lot longer into the first round than her last fight, possibly even into the second round,” sa Pennington. “Holly has good footwork. When I fought her, I was chasing her all over the place. I think Ronda is going to spend a lot of time doing that, but eventually Ronda will get ahold of her, tie up with her, take Holly to the ground and end it by submission.”
