Well, to be fair... she has been dominating the women part for quite a while. That demands a certain respect as an achievement.
She is responsible for all the publicity women get by now. And being a mean bitch is probably part of the show anyway.
She said in an interview once that the reason for her being paid nearly as much as the men, while all the other chicks get barely 30%, is that she's delievering a show.
Smack talk is part of the show...
Anyway, Holm won well deserved no doubt and maybe this will advance the women sport further. Not much a fan of women beating each other to a pulp but guess they deserve to be part of the sport as much as men.
