Dana is pissed because I think Cyborg vs Undefeated Ronda gets more PPV buys. Plus Holm, while a great fight and a nice person, isn't exactly the type corporate sponsors are going to get excited about.Quote:

If you look at Rousey's legs, once her head bounces off the canvas, she is out. Her legs dont move at all.
That first punch to the face she took didnt even get her skin to move. No eye movement or anything. Toast.
is there a link to the post fight press conferences?

But in woman's MMA those punches hurt a lot harder then to female boxers, especially when Rousey is taking them from charging in at Holm.Quote:

yeah a bluff when you look at it after tonight but I'd never though Mayweather vs Manny would happen, either.Quote:

Rogan: "Someone like Ronda only comes around once in the history of mankind"
Gets beat by a woman who is nearly too old to bear children....
Is there still time to airbrush her off the cover the new EA game?

I say a lot of things but I genuinely cant remember saying anything so gracious about that war pig, ever.
Its true, there are men in that division she could beat but one thing Ive said since at least 2012 is "Ronda takes too many clean shots standing from shitty strikers".
ESPN reporting Rousey was taken to the hospital
LOL AT RONDA FLEEING TO THE HOSPITAL TO ESCAPE THE POST PRESSER I CANT EVEN
Its pretty much precaution and standard... Anyone knocked out or even much less would beQuote:

This has to be a bigger blow than when Silva lost. Even though the odds were totally different how she got dismantled in pretty much one round
True. Ronda didn't know how to defend it. She's never had to accept getting hit before. She lost control of the fight and had no idea what to do about it.Quote:

EDIT: Lesnar would probably come close.
She could have taken her down and used Judo in the clinch ala Dan Kelly in the preliminary. Could have trapped her against cage.Quote:

Need to see his reaction in crowdQuote:

I'm just floating this out here - maybe she was on her period?
that was fun as shit.
so ronda's nose had to be broken early, right? Her mouth was open pretty quickly in the first round. I wouldnt be surprised if her jaw was broken. By the end of the first, she was moving like Cain in Mexico, and in hindsight, the fight was well over already.
So many possible good fights come out of this, tho. Meisha Tate gets her title shot finally, if Ronda is injured and can't rematch right away. Maybe Ronda-Cyborg happens at UFC 200 now, with a better chance of it being at 140 than before.
"The finish was a stunning conclusion to a tumultuous several-week period in which dissension swirled around the Rousey camp. First, Rousey's mother, Dr. Ann Maria DeMars, openly blasted Rousey's head coach, Edmund Tarverdyan. Then Tarvedyan's financial woes and bankruptcy case came to light. Then Rousey hung up on a media call when asked about her relationship with UFC fighter Travis Browne, who was accused of domestic abuse by his previous girlfriend (He has not been charged for the alleged actions).
Finally, at Friday's weigh-ins, Rousey came unglued during a the traditional posedown while Holm kept her cool, a foreshadowing of things to come."

Add Holm to this list (it was +600 to +800 depending on the book):
(+1350) Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou upsets Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
(+975) Emanuel Newton upsets Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal
(+925) Larue Burley upsets Bubba Jenkins
(+800) Will Brooks upsets Michael Chandler
(+765) T.J. Dillashaw upsets Renan Barao
(+750) Joey Beltran upsets Rolles Gracie
(+735) Johnny Eduardo upsets Eddie Wineland
(+725) Frankie Saenz upsets Iuri Alcantara
(+725) Frankie Edgar upsets B.J. Penn
(+700) Rafael Carvalho upsets Brandon Halsey
(+700) Matt Serra upsets Georges St-Pierre
(+700) Chad Griggs upsets Bobby Lashley
(+700) Sergey Golyaev upsets Takanori Gomi
(+660) Thiago Santos upsets Ronny Markes
(+650) Mike Wilkinson upsets Niklas Backstrom
(+600) Pat Curran upsets Roger Huerta
(+600) Herica Tiburcio upsets Michelle Waterson
(+585) Joe Lauzon upsets Jens Pulver
(+550) Frankie Edgar upsets Tyson Griffin
(+525) Tito Ortiz upsets Ryan Bader
Meh in hindsight it makes sense but honestly Rousey has always come across as mentally unstable and more suited to be on Jerry Springer than in the ring. She's always seemed very insecure.Quote:

just who in the fuck convinced rousey that it was a good strategy to chase/walk down a world class boxer/kickboxer and trade hands?
i mean this seems like literally the worst possible line to take specifically against holm
Was that punch telegraphed somehow? Seems like she started ducking before it was thrown.Quote:

All her punches were telegraphed. Just like every other one of her fights.Quote:

Holy shit...the Polish chick looks all busted up, and she won. She said she broke her hand and has to go to the hospital later.
