I see Edmond getting a lot of hate (deservedly) for his coaching advice to Ronda in between rounds during Rousey's KO loss to Holm.
Basically his advice was along the lines of "Beautiful work champ, you're doing great! Open your mouth and lets get rid of that blood..."
So anyway it got me thinking, was there anything he could have said, or anyone could have said that could have changed the outcome of the fight in Rousey's favour?
Obviously Ronda's bullrush approach wasn't working, so what could she have done differently, or was there nothing she could have done and Holly would have beaten her no matter what?
Thoughts?

I would say: |Ronda. Block kicks!

"Do the exact opposite of what you did in that round!"

They apparently didn't train to fight a champion striker, 30 second pep talk couldn't have changed anything.
It's beautiful watching how bad on the ground Holm was after the Tate fight.
Rousey, a submission artist, tried to stand with a world class striker who had zero ground game. lol.

The type of striker Holly is, the fight was a wrap after the first round.
But he could've told her to not rush all the way in. Just enough to be in mid range, it'll put Holly in defensive mode.
Feint before moving forward.
Stay on the right side of Holly, get off the center
He could've told her to throw an inside leg kick and quickly follow up with a cross.
Fake a double leg.
He could've told her to stay on the outside and force Holly to rush in.
He could've given her any advice other than what he gave

It's the type of grapplers and mentality Tate and Ronda are. Tate is used to TD's and fighting for them. she's used to going for any sub that's there, usually chokes. And she does look to take her opponents backs.
Totally different from Ronda. She's great at what she uses, but doesn't necessarily chain everything together cause she's not used to chain grappling. Ronda's a front runner. When Holly took her down, it had to be demoralizing.

Getting her to focus on cutting off the cage rather than chasing Holm would have been good advice, but that's only going to help of its something they'd worked on on camp.

"I am sorry that I fed you the lie that I can teach you to strike. Also, that I made you think you were at an elite level of striking. Basically we are f---ed, and you are going to lose. Don't worry, I will still stand up for you after this and make the world think it was not mine or your fault after you get KTFO in this round."

Ronda had Holm in an arm bar in the middle of the octagon that she escaped from. Rousey also had Holm pressed against the cage in the clinch (Rousey's strongest position) and Holm fought out of it. Holm has a ground game.
Tate and Rousey have fundamentally different grappling styles, thus Holly's clinch experience from her kick boxing days served her well against the cage and you can bet your *** Jackson was drilling arm-bar escapes every day leading up that fight. Let also, not forget how much trouble Tate had getting Holm to the ground. 3/5 rounds was Tate failing to take Holm down and getting pick apart on her feet.
My point his, it's not that Holm is bad on the ground, it's that Tate is a very good wrestler, arguable the best wrestler at 135.
Now, if I were cornering Rousey, I would have told Rousey to be -way- less aggressive. Holm is a counter striker and is historically
great
at catching people rushing in. Bide you time, wait for an opportunity and dump her on her head. Get a reactive take down, instead that bull-rush clinch tactic Rousey is always doing. In that regard, Holm was the perfect counter style for Rousey's typical game plan.

Listen to me carefully Ronda. Quit right now and have Travis's babies.
