Holly Holm Loss - bad for UFC?

I watched Shevchenko win with one of those defensive strategies (aka chickenshit) and even though I acknowledged she won technically, this is not the kind of fighter that inspires or becomes a superstar. Holm and Rousey had star power because they actually fight. Same with Tate and Zingano. They show daring and heart. But instead of Rousey/Holm/Tate, we are now stuck with the somewhat boring prospect of Nunes vs Shevchenko. Not great for women's UFC which was just taking the spotlight from the men. Oh well.

The best remaining hope is joanna jedrzejczyk.
