OT - Ronda Rousey KO'd in the first

Rogan took the UFC to task on twitter and during last nights telecast for how they gave Rousey preferential treatment as the challanger. Post fight, White pretty much acknowledged Rousey's share of the purse was a parting gift for creating the women's division.

Mike Goldberg, Joe Silva, Chuck Liddell, Matt Hughes, Forrest Griffin...are all gone now under the new ownership group. Those were all Dana's boys too. Rogan has been dropping hints he may be out soon as well. Have to think there are a few more shoes to drop in 2017.

Goldberg is done. If last night wasn't his fight, it's coming up soon.
@intlzncster I don't worry about that stuff at all. It's more the you come to work and get greeted with the "you see Ronda Saturday night, she could take Mayweather " , when you're like no she can't it's the "why cause she's a woman"? When it's just because she cant.

Actually, she hasn't made much money. The big money was going to be from a fight with Cyborg Santos. Rousey is the female version of Mike Tyson. After Buster Douglas knocked him out, no one was afraid of him anymore.

She got 3 MM for the Nunes fight and that is more than I made in all of 2016.
.
 
How come the ref just called it before she hit the canvis? Nunes didn't even get the chance to smash her face in while she was on the ground like a real MMA match.
 
At least people will stop saying she could beat up Floyd Mayweather now after get boxed up for the second time in a row haha

Im not referring to you because I do not know you but in my experience many boxing fans are threatened by MMA's popularity. Even with MMA's popularity, the top fighters do not make anywhere near Mayweather money hence the "promote by any means" method. Part Don King, part Vince McMahon, part PT Barnum. Im a fan of both sports. It is not an either or for me. Maybe boxing should use it to promote their sport. Boxing purist fans may think that is beneath them and I get that, but they need something. The sport is not marketed well at all. I miss the great fights of my youth. Aaron Pryor vs Alexis Arguello. Does not get much better than that.

Fair enough, you get it. Boxing has a lot of problems but a great fight is still one of the best things in sports.
 
I agree Superjohn. We are solid. Have a great new years and lets hope for a great year for Uconn! We all can agree on that. Best to u and your family.
 
Yea thats it, it has nothing to do with all the idiots that said you were stupid to think Floyd could beat Ronda
 
Ok let me chime in here. Rondas only chance of beating Floyd would be if she grabs and takes him to the ground. He would have absolutely no defense against her jj and he`d get caught in an armbar. Odds are though she would end up chasing him around the octogon and he`d simply throw a jab followed by a straight and its lights out.
I seen a few comments saying she needs to stick to her grappling but that wouldnt have helped her last night as Nunes is also a very good bjj practitioner so she would be able to handle Rousy on the ground. Take a look at rondas stance in the video. She has one arm low with her elbow flaired out and her other hand stiffly held against the side of her head and she looks extremely mechanical. Absolutely the worst ive ever seen in a professional fighter.
A couple years ago i seen a video of her doing some shadow boxing in front of a crowd before one of her fights and when i seen the punches she was throwing and how she was throwing them i thought she was just screwing around but when i realized she was serious i knew then if she ever got into a fight with someone she couldnt take down shed be in a world of .

That was hilarious. Not a boxing guy but damn, a complete moron could tell that is terrifying technique. It's almost appeared that her whole body was moving around her fist, which might as well have been stationary.

Thanks, same to you and yours.
 
Rousey was a trailblazer in women's MMA.

As the saying goes, Trailblazers get slaughtered, settlers get wealthy.

She opened the door but couldn't adapt to an evolving and improving women's fight game.

Reminded me of this.

The fight reminded me of the Karate Kid movie when Mr. Miyagi says if defense not good... (you are in trouble.) She couldn't get to the stuff she's good at because she couldn't stop Nunes from punching her in the head. After the Nunes 2nd or 3rd punch her leg is out in front of her and vulnerable to sweep or a single leg take down, but by then Rousey was incapable of rational thought so it didn't matter.

I've seen a meme on facebook that goes down this line of thinking. I won't waste my time posting the pic here but it involves words like hot babe fisted by Brazilian lesbian.
