Could you take Ronda Rousey? If yes, then explain how? (no estating)

[yummy22]

Even though Tate took her into the 3rd round, isn't Lez Carmouche the one who gave her the most trouble so far?

Technically yes since she was in trouble for a few seconds

That knockout was pretty sweet you don't see knockout like that in wmma

[yummy22]

So here is a question i'd like the answer to, Are they expecting cyborg to actually be 135 before they sign her or waiting untill she officially fights at 135? basically untill she shows she can make that weight

What would be cool is to get cyborg on the tate card at 135 then you set up the bit match with cyborg and ronda next year on the 200 as a dual co main with someone else and a big main event(mcgregor maybe). Even ronda haters want to see that fight.

[Nole92]

I'm glad Ronda beat that disgusting piece of ****. She talked **** about Ronda's family and got what she deserved. She made her own bed.

Well done Ronda.

[ashketchup963]

On a serious note, wut would a male's size and skill have to be to beat ronda rousey?

cmon dude. really?

even a smaller guy like dodson would wreck rousey with ease. ronda's opponents look like drunken backyard boxers, and i say this as a ronda fan

^^^ This. Any flyweight fighter good enough to be in the UFC would wreck her.

Ronda's point of view:

[WSG1]

There is no competition for Ronda in UFC, Thats why she finishes these matches in seconds, There is no one out there for her that is experienced enough to actually go toe to toe with her. Put her against a trained and experienced male in her weight class and watch how it turns out. I like Ronda, She is a good fighter but holy **** is she overhyped.By far the most overhyped fighter ever. Cringeworthy watching men athletes bow down to her like she is the 2nd coming of Jesus. I'm never watching a Ronda card again because last night was absolutely terrible. We have to sit through 3 hours of filler to get to watch a :34 second fight everyone already knew the outcome. Complete waste of time.

[skarms]

I have no ill will towards ronda or anything. I like her, I think she's awesome. However the hype behind her is absolutely disgusting and really turns me off from MMA right now. It's not really her fault, it's the force behind UFC's marketing team, Joe Rogan making comments like "she can beat 50% of the bantamweight division", the whole Cain thing, and now Dana saying she's the biggest star they've ever had.

ronda didn't even connect with most of those punches tbh.

clinch game is when the fight was ready to end, then poof but it was not a dominant striking performance. if anything, it showed Ronda's biggest flaw

Yep. Check out this guy's take on beating her: http://fightland.vice.com/blog/killi...n-ronda-rousey

tl;dr: A female version of Dillashaw or Cruz or even if Joanna was 20 lb heavier would destroy Ronda.

Find a male fighter that deserves the same hype she's getting right now and it will stop. They don't have that right now.

Jose Aldo lol.

I get the hype that she gets, props for knocking bitches out left and right in dominating fashion, but anytime there is a comparison with a man it's just stupid. Srs, I think I saw a comparison between Mike Tyson's stats and Rousey and how Ronda had more finishes in the first round. Holy shiet, that made me cringe hard.

Ronda's point of view:

Of course Ronda is over hyped. But she is fighting the opponents she got. The UFC is making money and she is as well so they will keep this going as long as they can. Anyone with a sane mind knows she would get absolutely destroyed by any top 20 in 135 or 145 male division.

I just read the whole thing and it confirmed the kind of fighter needed to take her out just like in that other thread.
The dude said though they need to implement more jabs keeping her on the outside instead of just swinging for the fences and running into Rousey's chest.
Implement the oblique kick Jones used and circling out with feints.
Unfortunately i don't see any female fighter doing that.
Even not that confident in Joanna if she was 20lb heavier since Claudia threw her around.
Correct me if i am wrong but i think i remember on the jre that Joe said one of the fighters implemented this dudes advice in one of his articles against an opponent and it worked perfectly and flawlessly.

Beautifully sums up Ronda.
"The sad thing is that Rousey is so skillful, but still so limited, and yet every one of her fights has looked exactly the same as her opponents pump 1-2s at her until they end up on their backs. We are being prevented from seeing Rousey establish a completely rounded, brilliant skill set (or at least displaying it) because her opponents have done nothing but try to take her head off in the opening seconds."

cuz we needed another thread lol

im not talking about male ufc fighters, im talking about in general.

Yep. Even the lowest flyweight on the UFC or Bellator (do they have flyweight?) roster would wreck Ronda easily.

Add 125 to that list, too.

[Gainzzz]

i can't believe how bad this is.

[Deathstroke]

Correia thinking she's scary, trying to hard to come off tough lol. Bish got got and you got to love that.

[PepperedAngus]

HER PPV BUYS ARE TRENDING TOWARDS 8 MILLION IF YOU DIDNT BUY HER LAST PPV YOU ARENT EVEN A REAL MMA FAN IM SO SICK OF HAVING TO TELL YOU IDIOTS HOW MUCH YOU LOVE RONDA ROUSEY

[motivat3d]

Correia thinking she's scary, trying to hard to come off tough lol. Bish got got and you got to love that.

This. It was clear that Bethe was scared. Let's not forget that Bethe has only been training mma for a few years.

I think Tate is the only one who can compete with Rousey. Tate just needs to quit thinking she can toss Rousey.

[HouseStarkfff]

"d-d-do you honestly any of us miscers would stand a chance against these women? There are maybe 2 or 3 guys who could hang with these phenomenal athletes. Rest us would get owned. Just imagine if we had to fight Ronda."

-every beta wk ever

[TheJizzler]

Predictable fight aside, the thing that got me was how Honda's mom told her (deadly seriously) that she was disappointed by the fact that it took 30+ seconds to get the knockout, and how deflated Honda looked by that...





I always wondered why Honda seems so off: stories about her being homeless for a time, dating a couple of addicts/known scumbags, year spent off the grid 'partying', really shy with a pathological stutter as a kid... it all gets attributed to the trauma with her Dad or looking manly growing up, but I get the vibe that her mom is one of those demanding parents that NEVER shows approval




Daddy issues gets thrown around a lot on misc., but you haven't seen damage until you've seen a girl with Mommy issues

This. It was clear that Bethe was scared. Let's not forget that Bethe has only been training mma for a few years.

I think Tate is the only one who can compete with Rousey. Tate just needs to quit thinking she can toss Rousey.

Agree, but this will never happen


I think there's a supernatural phenomenon that causes any woman placed in a cage with Rousey to channel Wanderlei, close her eyes and throw wild haymakers until their hips come together

[skinnytobulk]

ronda's octagon interview already 1.9m views, probably won a lot of casuals from that hyped fight

[BrightonBomber]

Oh lord. The Ronda hate is bad, but this is just awful. You mean if you put a female in the cage against a man 35 pounds heavier with the same fighting experience as one another that the guy would fuk her up? No way! I don't think her ability to fight men multiple weight classes above her is really a good measurement of her skill level.

Ronda should not be the headlining a PPV event, but it's mainly because she's so much better than her competition that the main event is not competitive at all. Hopefully the PPV buys reflect people's pack of interest in Rousey main events and we don't get Fight Night caliber cards on PPV.

She headlines a PPV because she sells well pure and simple. UFC 184 did 590,000 buys with Rousey headlining and Holly Holm co headlining. Fact is people are tuning in even for her mismatches. I suspect UFC 190 will sell just as well if not better.
