So we didn't get to the bar until 11 or so...is there a reason the final fight was so late? Was there a delay or were there just so many main card fights that Rousey started at 1:25AM?

As for the fight...I couldn't hear her interview too well but I hoped she would rub it in a little more. I'm glad it was just "pre-fight talk"...she was straight up pissed and I was hoping to see more of Correia's face getting smashed in.

Some of the small fighters, I'd say Ronda could beat. I mean, from her training she looks like she actually has skill. Even in her judo days, she was great. I think some of the the like bantamweight guys would be a real fight.

Absolutely no chance. Men are stronger, pound for pound. Quicker, more bone density...they're just much better suited for this type of sport.

It's like her always bringing Floyd Mayweather up.....he would just brutalize her if they fought. Her ONLY chance would be to get him on the ground, where it would not be guaranteed she could win, but he's so much quicker and faster than she is, she'd be VERY lucky to make that happen. She'd be knocked out, and quickly. He'd hit her so fast that she'd only see his gloves when they were on their return trip.
 
Exactly and that's the problem, we all know how her fights are going to end now. Even though she's going to knock out her opponents quick, everyone is going to get tired of it. Also she's not going to be able to grow as an fighter when every fight is ending like this.

Have you actually watched any of her other fights?

She only has 3 KO/TKOs compared to 9 submissions. And as she evolves she may be kicking bitches in the head soon.

It was in Brazil and it was a seven fight card.

We get it...you're in the part of the human species that has a dick and you're proud of that fact.

SMFH.
 
I'm dying for a Cyborg v. Rousey fight.

I think Cyborg would throttle her, and I think Rhonda's camp knows it too which is why she wont do a catch weight of 140. Cyborg is a different beast. While I think Rhonda has improved in a last few years, her division is crap. Its not like GSP or J Jones cleaning out their divisions.

The only fight for Rhonda that matters is against Cyborg, and I dont think we'll ever see it.

are you crazy? Ronda would break his arm.

there are judo throws that break your arm on the way down. they are illegal to use in the sport but since you want to dream about a fight ronda would break the dudes arm in about 15 seconds.

she might. I would still give it to floyd. he is a amazing boxer. he would hit her hard enough and fast enough she would be down.

she would have a chance. but not a great chance.

You mean like she broke that chick's arm last night?
Oh, that's right....she stood up and punched with her.
She'd have to get a male fighter on the mat to "break his arm", and that isn't going to happen.

Floyd is quicker than anyone she's ever stood in front of. He's bigger, quicker, faster, and stronger.
She'd be knocked out in short order. Nobody's ever hit her as hard or as quickly as he would.
And if you put them in the Octagon with MMA-style gloves, that just makes it worse for her. She'd never lay a hand on him. Plus she'd have to deal with punching power no woman has, and she's never been hit with.

Really....it's a stupid comparison. She only keeps bringing his name up to make her own name bigger.
It's lose/lose for him to even consider fighting her.

They need to just let the women be their own 'separate but equal' division.
 
There is a reason why boxing isn't the prominent style in the octagon. It's not that you can't box someone to death it has more to do with how you will defend against the grapple arts. Any boxer who made the transition to mma would need serious wresting and jujitsu training or they will lose. The judo is just icing on that cake. Wrestlers will sap your gas tank and then beat you down and jujitsu will break your arms and legs and keep you on the mat for 15 minutes.

I don't have much respect for boxing because I know it has such tight parameters and such a narrow focus that it isn't a true blood sport. There is very little dynamics to it.

As I said in the post below yours (we posted at the same time) it's not that boxing won't do damage it's how you deal with the clinch that will decide the fight. The best wrestlers still punch people to death but they have control over the grapple so they can dictate when it happens. This is the key. Floyd's legs are like sticks. The moment you put him in mma he will get grappled to death. And hammer fisted into a stoppage.

Oh and Ronda made a point last night to beat the shit out of bethe with her fists because bethe talked a bunch of shit about Ronda's striking.

The whole point of judo is to use the opponents size weight and momentum against them. I think she would do fine against a guy. Would she be a champ on the men's side? No. But a Floyd may weather? Sure. A mike Tyson in his prime? No. Because that's 1 punch. It's different.
