Well I truly hope Holm doesn't piss hot after watching that. I got goose bumps and nearly cried I was so happy for her.

Almost forgetting that I was 50 seconds away from a 2500 dollar head shot.
Someone on here said that if Holm won it would be first round. If only I went for first and second. I was disgusted that my book only had her at +500 to win outright.

I disagree. He has a valid point. Ronda lost all respect for her opponents and began to buy into the UFC hype machine.Quote:
OSA: this is the one lesson to take from the event? sounds like mumbo jumbo to me
She actually believed the bullshit notion that she has "world class" striking after the Correia fight. Thus she went into the Holm fight most likely thinking that she could stand with her. She found out the hard way that she is a judokai with some striking not an actual striker.

Let me know if this video was actually any good. I turned it on, and within 15 seconds, I felt like I was watching a bad Ben Stiller comedy and clicked off. He couldnt form a clear sentence and just rambled.

I guess it's good advice but for what ever reason Dana don't really care if you have Bushido and it's his opinion that really matters. Somehow he can make a unlikable bitch like Ronda a top ticket seller.
Full disclosure: I'm sort of guessing what Bushido means. What is this, some new age shit.
Lol gold.Quote:

I respect Dana for having Rousey's back like that, she's easy not to like. He knows Holly's physique isn't natural. Ronda's probably been clean since the new testing.
Clean? I dunno, a woman can juice to a point of no return.
Holm reminds me of carrot top.
Rousey's comment she posted on her instagram:

As mentioned all over the place Rousey wanted to take time off and come back for UFC 200 so don't be surprised if that is the case for a rematch but that is a long time for Holly to have to wait to fight again imo.
One of the things that makes me weep for humanity is when I read the comments section of any social media site like Twitter or Instagram.
This man was also a candidate he said he was very famous in Canada for ufc fighting ... I believed him because of the hat...where else would he have gotten it?
Yes. Now.Quote:

Ronda's coach literally smokes crack.
"Holm didn't really outdo Ronda in the striking dept". (paraphrasing)
best line I heard about Edmund was from Filthy Tom Lawlor. Something like, maybe its not so hard to believe after all that Edmund hasn't done any work in years.
Meh I don't buy the "Ronda had a bad mindset". She's always fought this way, disrespected opponents, and generally thrown caution to the wind. And its worked for her until now... I think its as simple as she fought a great opponent who had a great gameplan.Quote:

Kinda like what GSP did

‘Most books got crushed’ on Holm’s upset of Rousey at UFC 193
By Matt Youmans
Las Vegas Review-Journal
As soon as Ronda Rousey crashed to the ground and was knocked out, Las Vegas sports books were rattled by aftershocks from the earthquake in Melbourne, Australia, that rocked the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Holly Holm's second-round knockout of Rousey on Saturday night was a "horrible" result, said Nick Bogdanovich, William Hill sports book director.
"Everything we won on college football we gave back on that fight," Golden Nugget book director Tony Miller said. "We got killed on it. It was so lopsided with all underdog money."
Rousey never was lower than a minus-1,000 favorite at the Westgate on fight night, with Holm priced at plus-650. But the prices varied from book to book and fluctuated wildly in the weeks before the fight.
The line on Rousey was higher than minus-1,500 at times. The return on Holm was as high as plus-1,200 and as low as plus-400. A tidal wave of underdog money flooded the betting market in the 24 hours before UFC 193, which was staged Sunday afternoon in Australia.
Similar to major boxing events, bettors were taking swings on the long shot. What most books paid out on the underdog dwarfed the small number of wagers lost on the big favorite. (There were no reports or rumors of Floyd Mayweather Jr. winning a bet on Holm.)
Westgate sports book director Jay Kornegay said he accepted multiple wagers for $20,000 to win $2,000 on Rousey before closing Holm at plus-800.
"We took four limit bets on Rousey about 20 minutes before the first bell," Kornegay said. "I wasn't feeling that comfortable accepting them at the time, but it worked out for us. We broke even on the fight.
"The results around town were not good. Most books got crushed, as typical underdog betting was popular. The low-risk, high-reward scenario was appealing, as usual."
Miller said the Golden Nugget took "a few" large wagers on Rousey at minus-850.
"I was lucky because I went down to minus-850, so that saved me a little bit," said Miller, who watched on pay per view. "Rousey was never in the fight."
Kornegay said the fight drew a larger wagering handle than an average NFL game.
"It's the first time a Rousey fight had that kind of handle," he said. "We handled more on this fight than any previous Rousey fight."
Rousey (12-1) was on the wrong side of the biggest upset in UFC history. If she fights Holm (10-0) again, estimates are Rousey will be around a minus-250 favorite.
"The rematch should be huge," Kornegay said.
What is with people's obsession over Joe Rogan? I don't think I've ever heard him utter anything remotely funny, let alone interesting. The guy is a complete fraud as far as I'm concerned.
how's he a fraud at all, nevermind a complete fraud? fraud in what sense?Quote:

If you like Joe Rogaine, I simply have nothing to talk to you about, as you're most likely intellectually challenged or simply have not seen the light.
weird how you can't even seem to articulate why you dislike him, and think him a fraud.Quote:

Rogans ok.
He says a lot of shit that basic people who dont want to be basic need to hear.
And hes actually an incredibly solid commentator for fights.
HOWEVER.
Recently he just seems to have morphed into a total shill and hype-tard on the mic when it comes to certain fighters, Rousey is at the top of the list.

JFC, we need a PFA punching bag avatar.
In the end, Joe Rogan is a UFC employee. He's gonna promote the sport and its interests and over-hype everything because he is paid to do it. He'd get a lot of respect if he came out and said before the card, "Hey folks, this upcoming Struve and Rosholt fight is a *great* time to get make an outstanding beer run because this fight will be boring as fuck".....but that is not his job. When he does go overboard with it, it does give the UFC a "wolf ticket" feel.Quote:

Lol @ martial arts and the UFC... Go fuck yourself and your irrelevant sport.
His standup is horrible and his "podcast" is an absolute abomination; the guy basically knows jackshit and spouts complete trash, and his fans (some of you) buy it because he says it with confidence.
There was a very nice middle ground he used to straddle where he didnt get obsessed/hung up on fighters.
For a long time, even after Zuffa hired him, he maintained an improbably effective air gap between UFC hype and his narrative.
Those days are over, is my point.
:lol2
Just like you!Quote:
