Just imagine what Dana will do if Aldo actually takes out McGregor next month. His two biggest draws lose within a 30 day period.
if Aldo fades Conor violently this will be the best year of MMA in a long, long time.

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."

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.
Sonatine is correct that Rousey had not fought anyone like Holm up until now. Women's MMA is pretty much where men's ufc was 20 years ago. It has a long way to go in terms of evolving.
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
Actually I confused sok vs nog (although did see that live too). First pride event I saw was hendo vs Silva. Similar upsets.
Press conference starting now.
Presser started. Rhonda taken to hospital and the lower lip was split so they had to sew it up. Wont be at presser.
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.
still wide awake from the fites. looks like its gonna be a night of bonghits and Bob and David.
