UFC 168: Silva vs. Weidman II

[stealth_swimmer]

lol the last thing you would want would be your opponent rubbing your shoulder.

x2, wanted to kinda lol @ that, but I'm sure Weidman had the best intentions.

so sad barnett lost :/

Lol at the outrage. It always pisses me off when two fighters spends months talking complete trash and hating each other and then hug it out after the fight. Seems so disingenuous. If you hate someone, you hate someone. She gave her respect; she doesn't owe her a damn handshake.

Are people butt hurt that she says she doesn't care what people think about her and she actually means it? The girl is mean, nasty, and talented. Who gives a crap if she's friendly?

This. Exactly. She respected her as a fighter and that's all she needs to do. She means what she says. REPS brah

Rousey still gonna arm bar her. Ronday will retire like 15-0

Rousey is good but her game is always the same . Yes it works but this time Tate was able to break that "never gone past the first round* streak so who she fights next if they study her fights and most importantly work on

A. Not allowing the fight to go to the ground where Rousey is dominate

B. If it goes to the ground being able to avoid the arm bar

Then Rousey will be in for a loss and I can bet she will piss and moan all over social media and any outlet that will listen .

Why was Tate at the post-fight presser? IIRC UFC only has the winners up there. If I had just gotten beat I wouldn't want to be in front of reporters having to answer questions either.

You honestly don't think that every one of Rousey's opponents aren't training with this exact gameplan, specifically drilling armbar escapes like phucking madmen? It's a smidge easier said than done to "just don't let it go to the ground" and "avoid the armbar".

I never said it was easy I was just making an observation .

I can respect people who are real, but I think Ronda is just a crazy cry baby. I read a couple of pretty decent blog articles this morning which painted the picture I see. It's the internet though, so believe what you like. I don't have enough posts to post links but you can search for the following:

Exactly. That's why I think it was kinda disrespectful of Tate to say Ronda was arrogant. It ain't arrogance when you're undefeated, all fights prior finished in the first round with the same move even though everyone knew you were gonna use that move. That would've been reason enough to not shake Tate's hand after the fight, imo, but Ronda said it was cus of some family comment or something Tate made.

I think people are overblowing that issue, but back to your point, yeah I'm pretty sure all her opponents are trying to avoid the armbar, lol.

Women don't belong in the octagon. At least give them their own organization and don't mix them in with the men. You know, like they do with those hos in the wnba. I don't want to see that kindergarten crap.

[Jfern689]

I honestly thought that Ronda will gas before Tate but it was the other way around. Tate really has cardio issues. She tired in the Zingano fight too.

Was anyone baffled by Meisha Tate's response to why she went to take Ronda down? I mean for fuks sake, do you even have a brain? Why in gods name would you try and take her down, to "Take the fight to her." Incredible.

ego.

tate was a wrestler, she didnt just think oh im gonna win, she thought im gonna take her down and beat her at her own game.

obviously she learned the first fight was no fluke and ronda is on a level by herself
