It was just two UFC fighters, with someone with a judo background and another with a boxing background.
But been seeing posts now from boxing fans saying that this is what happens when a boxer fights an MMA fighter and they are gloating. It comes across as quite sad to see boxing fans act like that.

I like to joke about it, but I actually like UFC/MMA a lot. I like boxing more, but I like watching a good match in the Octagon as well.

In order to do a true comparison of "Boxer versus MMAer", the boxer has to be put into the Octagon right out of the boxing ring. Meaning, he can't have any MMA training. Once the boxer has MMA training, he is no longer considered a boxer.

Holm was already an established MMAer. Holm didn't solely use boxing skill to win either. She stuffed a few takedowns, took Ronda down herself, and then won the fight with a kick to the head. This is why Holm-Rousey isn't a good "Boxer versus MMAer" comparison.
