Erm. This highlights Miesha's biggest obstacle to defeating Holly.



Which is to say, Miesha gets hit with everything people throw at her. She doesn't have much in the way of striking defense. This is something that has plagued Tate throughout her career.



Can't find GIFs of it but other examples.

-Cat Zingano dropped Miesha with that big knee in the 3rd.
-Sara McMann dropped Miesha with a big straight right in the 1st.
-Jessica Eye was landing at will up until she lost focus in her fight with Miesha & Miesha started going for takedowns.

One might say Miesha has been dropped or rocked by big shots everytime she has fought a good striker in the last 4 years.

That's not a good thing when you're going up against someone with the movement, long range striking, pinpoint laser accuracy and timing of Holly Holm.
