I did a double take there too....I'm sure Dana already has a big headache dealing with Rousey and he doesn't need another.Quote:

Stream farted, I missed the Q Joe asked to irk Dana. Was it a "geez ya might as well quit, aint no competition here" type thing?
He asked if she could headline in 1 month and then apologized for putting her ont he spot. She got all uncomfortable and said "well i have to do knee surgery but can probably do it."Quote:

Rousey hand sure was busted up when it didn't even look like she broke a sweat. That cut will keep her from fighting in a month for sure.
Weidman dominated that fight for the first three rounds then Machida finally showed some heart but too little too late.
switch the 2nd round with the 3rd, and you nailed it.Quote:

Rousey replay vid: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k6M...u8hTkF?start=0
Post fight presser. Of course it doesn't start until the 10 minute+ mark.

I'm sorry, but Rousey needs to start fighting dudes. Its the only way the match will be competitive.
Or have her fight 4 times a night at the very leastQuote:

RR has a huge cut but wont fight Cyborg at 145 with her belt not even being at stake because she would get fuckin mauled. Now maybe Cyborg isnt close to the same as she was when shes off peds I dont know but I do know if they fought right noe at any weight she would get beat the fuck down.
Everyone is talking about what agreat fight the ME was but all I saw was Machida running for 3 rounds and then fighting the last 2 when he couldnt win on the cards anymore. I guess the last 2 rounds made everyone forget about the first 3 when nothing happened. lol at the judge who gave Machida round 2.
No you don't. Opinions are not facts.Quote:

Rousey fighting Cyborg doesn't make sense for her. If she wins she gains nothing and if she loses then her cred goes into the shitter, belt or no belt on the line.
Forget what Ronda wants, she'll fight whomever the UFC tells her to. The UFC would never put on a 145 or 140 lb fight with their 135 champion and no 145 division. It makes absolutely no sense to put your champ in danger like that, where she could lose but still hold the belt. Now the belt is worthless, the division is fuct, and you have a monster 145 lb woman with no 145 lb division.
The ONLY way the UFC lets this happen is 135. Anything else would be retarded, and could only lose them money. That's been the deal all along, and Cyborg only finally came around to all of this in the last 6 months or so. She was signed to the UFC, for fuck's sake, and they were willing to pay her UFC money to fight in invicta while she cut weight, and she said no. She ended up in invicta anyway (Thanks, Tito!), making less money by all accounts, and she's gonna end up cutting the weight anyway if the fight is to ever happen, but now Ronda's a much better fighter than she was before. Cyborg probably could have beat Ronda if she followed the UFC's plan and timeline, but she didn't, and now Ronda's way more than just a monster judoka in MMA, she's the best woman fighter around.
If and when they meet, Ronda wins. Cyborg blew her best chance. She'll still have a chance, but not a very good one.
But the only reason that Cyborg became part of the equation is because there is literally no humans left for Rousey to fight. I'd like to see her fight Bourdain's wife though.Quote:

I was referring to recent history, post suspension. Previous to that Cyborg was always the one to beat.Quote:

different weight class entirely plus such an egregious user of steroids that the ufc implemented a 1-strike-your-out policy on her, retroactively. and to put a more personal spin on it, she retired the face of womens mma while roided to her masculine gills. zuffa wants her to stop existing as quickly as possible.
cyborg derailing ronda's train would be a catastrophe for them, one they cant afford if you look at recent ppv buys.
Doesn't help that Tito represents her eitherQuote:

Oh and...

You gotta wonder, would Bones have had the heart to come out with that toe of his for round 2 of Sonnen had survived another 10 seconds?
if he had I could see Chael doing the old school Royce Gracie foot stomps until Jones was cryingQuote:

I know none of the nerds on here know it but most Gracies are considered clowns in todays bjj especially those 2.
