Going on Ellen is no way to get in touch with your true MMA fans. Its a way of avoiding the real questions.

That Holly Holm fight was pure poetry..

shes back and trust me I didn't miss her

As someone else has already commented, these are the best breakdowns in MMA. Dan Hardy is fantastic.

Amanda vs Holly would be a pretty good stand up fight

Summary of this fight. Ronda's judo works effectively on weird, mid to low tier, grapplers with poor striking. Nunes is the most well rounded fighter in the division by far.

Ronda is a coward, hope she gets put to sleep again

The Lioness shall feast heartily on the broken spirit and weak mental fortitude that is Ronda Rousey.

Of course Ronda's game will of improved significantly with a whole years training under the great Edmund Targeryan.

The most anticipated return in UFC history is when Jon Jones comes back and takes the belt.

Good episode but there are some things that weren't addressed. 1) Rousey has stayed with the same trainer which lied to her in between rounds one & two against Holm. He gave her zero advice, couldn't formulate a strong game plan or offer her any other advice if the original game plan wasn't effective. I feel this inability to adapt is a major talking point that was overlooked. While fighters are the ones in the cage they do fail to see things that good coaches can see. Having a poor coach who shows absolutely no IQ in regards to guiding his fighter it automatically puts her at a disadvantage. 2) Rousey also has cardio issues. She was blowing in the Tate fight which went a few rounds & she gassed really badly in the Holm fight to the point where her mouth was open and her jaw was loose and away from her leaving it far more exposed than it is in the early going of a fight. 3) Nunes has great kicks but I only saw the teep mentioned. Rousey uses very linear movements when she tries to close distance & initiate the clinch. She lacks fundamentally basic footwork, doesn't cut angles, feint her way in or jab her way in effectively. Those factors compounded make me assume it will be difficult for Rousey to initiate the clinch successfully. Nunes can float on the outside-to-mid-range & shut down any advances with well placed, quick kicks to the lead leg of Rousey. Another thing to add to that is Rousey's stance of being squatted down & having her base a little wider makes her heavy on her feet and rather static, it then leaves that lead leg open to the same kicks. Nunes can land it then keep feinting & alternating this to keep Rousey guessing to the point where she may well end up being stuck at the end of Nunes shots. 4) If that does happen then Rousey will be forced to strike with a great, well-rounded, hard-hitting striker. Aside for beating a very limited & slow Bethe, Rousey has never won a prolonged striking exchange in the centre of the cage. In fact she has been backed up many times before, often in a straight line & has eat punches when trying to evade advances. She can't afford to do that against a striker of Nunes calibre & power. 5) Rousey has stagnated/plateaued in the striking department under self-aggrandised high level striking coach Tarverdyan. What improvements are we seriously expecting to see from this year off fighting that she has had? She improved her striking minimally in her many years with Tarverdayan. Will twelve extra months even matter to someone who has shown to have very little natural striking ability from the outset? Just my observations.

make sure the new ufc owners extend these guys's contract. hardy and gooden you guys do a great job calling fights and an awesome job at breaking down these fights. A+++

Thumbs up for a great breakdown.. and for actually showing Ronda getting headkicked..

Hardy needs to become the UFC's #1 commentator. Knowledgeable, insightful, and not annoying at all.

Cody by flying gogo choke in the 6th round within the first 8 seconds.

Glad they weren't afraid of showing the Holm fight.

My Professional anal-ysis is that Rousey's Judo was devastating against mid-tier opponents, but the skill level of the division has risen up so much that Nunes, Holm and maybe Sevchenko could beat her. All her older opponents looked clumsy and weird. but now the Bantamweights know how to strike and wrestle in a way that it looks normal. Strawweight still looks shit though.

Dan "You're so fine" Hardy vs Mickey "The Analyst" Gall. Make that happen.

I hope Nunes beats ronda into retirement

dont do this 1 round bullshit on cruz/garbrandt need that cruz breakdown fulltime

Cruz vs Garbrandt will be a great breakdown

hope nunes win this fight, one aspect that nunes needs to work tho, cardio because she gassed easily

Absolutely flawless breakdown by Dan Hardy. Respect!

I like how Gooden has stepped up his knowledge and is a good partner to Dan. Dan obviously has more knowledge and Gooden knows that and really only talks about the stuff that he for sure knows. Dan is always on point. Man I just love these inside the octagons

i dont giva fuk about this wheres cruz vs garbrant

When Conor does no media he gets pulled out, When Rousey does no media she gets not, Dana Logic.

dan hardy must be afraid of disney, cause he is clearly avoiding mickey

This show has showed Nunes more attention that the UFC has in the past month for the media leading to the fight..

Ronda Rousey? Who da FOOK is that guy?

ah her striking game is garbage when you put her up to anyone with real boxing/kickboxing skills, aka against Holly

'She's back and we've missed her Yeah we have' No...just no..

i wanna see dan hardy analyst mickey gall

The best breakdowns in mma .

"Conor is the easiest dude in this division" - Eddie "unconscious" Alvarez

These guys do the best analysts

Ronda will lose to Nunes then she will announce her retirement in the octagon & probably be on suicide watch.

Will Rousey even shake Nunes hand if she wins?

Head movement, head movement head movement

Win or lose Ronda is done with the ufc. Best case scenario she wins and sticks around for another fight or 2 or she loses and just retires on the spot. Truth is Ronda has no interest in just being another ufc fighter like everyone else she just wanted to be undefeated now that she lost she's done with the ufc she'll probably go to acting

Thanks Dan & John for yet another excellent episode of ITO. I always enjoy the honest, passionate and knowledgeable presentation & the obvious hard work prepping for the show, makes it a must see before any big card. Thanks and enjoy the fights.

The game has changed since she last fought. She's done!!

holy fuck Nunes dominated Shevchenko. never knew that

RR coming back to her throne. It was nice for them to keep it warm for her while she was gone. But no one can maintain rule like she can!

Always looking forward to these breakdowns.

Excellent breakdown guys....Dan your the Man. !

Very impressed with Dan Hardy's analytical skills, not sure what the need was for the other guy in the suit who didn't have much to say other than agree with Dan's assessment of both fighters.

Objectively speaking, if Honda shows up with the same level of boxing that she brought to Holm, then I think she'll get stopped in the first round in brutal fashion.

I'm thinking Nunes is going to win, but Ronda can catch anybody in an armbar if given half the chance.

Why are they both wearing their little sister's pants???

You all hate Ronda so much you've convinced your'selves she's going to lose. Easy win for Ronda

I freking love these episodes man. Do more of these please, more frequently.

dan hardy refused to fight mickey gall, cuz its a lose-lose for him, if he wins, he just beat up a 4-0, if he lose, he just got beat by a 4-0

Dam if Ronda returns wins then retires against Nunez then all respect is lost for her, she has to and needs to fight and dominate holm to repair her legacy until then nothing's changed.

been waiting forever for this!!

If Amanda tees off on Ronda like she did Miesha and we see Ronda badly busted up!? I think that will be the last time we see Ms Rousey in the octagon..?

She's Back! Oh, yeah! I cannot wait to see Amanda Nunes fight again!

I'll be happy as long as Amanda whoops that trick.

These guys should be the only guys who break down fights in the UFC

one of the best shows UFC puts out, these guys are awesome ! keep it coming lads,

This might be the first time an official UFC program showed the Holm fight leading up to the fight 😂😂😂

No hate to the meanest bully and weakest personality in MMA at all from me; I just wanna see Honda destoyed 4 life.

That head kick was the best it so broke the stallion and brought it back to reality .

Y'all have the best fight breakdowns.

We missed her so much - said no one

The UFC pulled clips of Ronda getting KO'd by Holly. WTF? who else gets that type of treatment?

The way I see this fight going, will depend on how Ronda reacts to the first good crack Nunes lands on her jaw. Her mental game seems way off since the Holm KO, so much so she went MIA for a whole year…comes back, and doesn't want to speak to anyone. That's not a good sign. If Ronda has any sort of doubt with that first punch by Nunes, she might start to panic.

Ronda was just so lucky to get into the sport when it was so new and that shes been doing arm bars and throws since she was a little kid. It was just a matter of time until everyone else caught up.

"Mickey Gall was never my friend" - Dan Hardy

Amanda's going to jab her face into 2017. 3rd round TKO for Amanda.

Cat walked right into that armbar. No skill required.

It was Ronda's reputation that lured me into the UFC audience. I though Ronda was the best - but Nunes is a very dangerous fighter. Absolutely devastating for the fighters we once saw as the best, a new league of muscle. Yet her character seems pretty humble and gentle :0

Rousey going to get schooled again

good job by Hardy

Always enjoy these breakdowns. Dan Hardy a standup fighter and person. Always good footage with good detailed info. 2 thums up!!

Dana was butthurt to wrap that belt around Holly, hahahah I enjoyed it

i really hope ronda wins. i like amanda and all but the amount of hate that rousey gets she needs to win

RIP to Rousey. Her career is fucked at this point. 😕

As expected, great review and analysis, thanks again for a productive breakdown versus all the soap opera reviews that mean nothing from the tons of other useless youtube parties...Good accurate to the point, great explanation of where Rhonda has had to come from and the added pressure etc...this is the type of review that really gets me interested in dropping my $ for a pay per view event such as the one coming up...good job gentlemen!

Dan Hardy is a great analyst. Well done UFC for putting him on the mic.

This card does no more than 750k buys. Mark my words.

Nunes is so much faster than holm, I really don't see Ronda winning

You guys do a nice Job always like watching !!!

Amanda Nunes reminds me of Anderson Silver I think she will win and go on to be a very dominant champ

Dan is ducking the great mickey gal who killed the icon CM Punk and the karate kid sage

If Ronda wins she will call out Sage Northcutt

I see that a lot of people have forgotten how damned good and versatile Ronda is. She dominated the sport for a reason, and only loss to a boxing champion because she insisted on boxing her.

those two are an awesome team! very good show thx

Stephen A. with the real talk. That's rare

This is going to be a nasty fight...Nunes is straight up crazy train and Ronda is pissed off after the loss.

Legit breakdown... don't see that very often. I also like what he had to say about Nunez getting the chance to deal with defeat on easier terms. I like both of these fighters to be honest. Fortunate to be a fan.

cheers for the review gents - top shelf as always.

Such a great break down! I'm rooting for Ronda!!! But idk man, it's gonna be a tough fight. Nunez is amazing.

Nunes is not as disciplined as Holms, and ultimately it was that discipline and consistency that got Holms the spectacular victory over Ronda. Ronda thrives off her opponents being inconsistent, not disciplined and chaotic in there attacks.

dan hardy DOES look like a giant chipmunk

Cheers! Another fantastic episode.. Madting 😝😝

Honda is an emotional wreck Amanda will break her face

Ronda is like a lot of athletes in a young sport. They dominate, but once more people start to play and take it seriously, the field gets so much tougher. Ronda, with her Judo, could only get so far.

Cannot wait for this event!

These guys break down a match like no one i ever seen. Big ups.

I hate how Dan Hardy is taking everything Mickey Gall has worked for [motherfucker]. I hope Mickey fights his fucking ass cuz that's the real money fight.
