That guy's been a professional fanboy for a long time now, with few moments when he's been called out on his BS. So yea - I can only imagine his pain and anguish at getting his favorite waifu kicked to poo poo after hyping her up so much, lol.

I felt Rogan was very professional and of balanced mind as he called that fight. The whole time he was praising how perfect Holly's technique was and how it just tore Ronda apart piece by piece and even criticized how sloppy Ronda's fighting was cause she wasn't keeping her hands up and was just flailing wildly at the end there.

Tbh I read his face in the vid above as "wow what an upset, what a fight, everyone's going wild, holy poo poo that's one for the history books" not "oh my godddddddddddddd she can't lose :qq:"

It's really cool seeing how women's MMA has progressed so quickly. I remember most fights being kinda sloppy just a few years ago.

I forget their names, but I also rewatched the straw-weight championship match on the same card as the last Rousey fight... drat... I couldn't believe the kicks and combos they were stringing together. It was beautiful to watch. I mean, I can't fight my way out of a paper bag, but their technique looked pretty awesome to me.

The only problem is the women's weight classes are usually pretty low. I think UFC caps out at bantamweight.

holler.
Call it sexist, but I was a huge proponent of women's mma. I didn't care to watch women try to beat each other up IN A MAN'S SPORT.. I was familiar with Rousey, Cyborg, Carano, Holm, because let's face it... Women mma had been building steam for a while. When it finally became a reality in UFC I was still pretty apathetic to it because I wasn't happy by the lack of finishes. I thought the women were more timid(noobish) and didn't have the "blood thirst" that men had. I came to realize it was pretty gay for me to have such prejudices.

I knew I had to ride out the growing pains of a new division. Everything has to start somewhere, and the fact that Ronda broke out the gate as the biggest thing to happen to women's fighting was unavoidable. She is the Ryoce Gracie of women's mma.

I feel like Joanna Jedrzejczyk is the real loving deal, and I hope she sets the standard for the next generation of women's mma. Let's be honest, they need a Jens Pulver/Matt Hughes/Tito Ortiz/Chuck Liddell/Mark Coleman.

Ronda did her job well.

I will admit, the Women do have trouble "finishing" as well as the men do in the sweaty, nearly naked homo hugging

It was Joanna Champion :getin:

Many of the female UFC fighters started with MMA because their boyfriends were fighters and they wanted to try it, or somebody at their gym said they should take a lesson. Bethe Correia was a fat accountant who wanted to lose weight. We like Paige VanZant because she can take a beating and have some good wins, but without her pretty face, she wouldn't be here. Through luck or connections, they managed to end up in the UFC.

Joanna on the other hand, had 50 professional kickboxing fights before being asked to fight in the UFC.

TBH, Ronda Rousey being the equivalent of a 'Graice' is p fitting. Is all tough poo poo, declared as the 'only way to win' and whatevs other BS, until another fighter comes in and clowns them hard and that (hopefully) opens up the gates to all the other ways you can throw yourself in the fight.

Ronda Rousey happens to still be better than all the other female fighters anyway though. Her getting knocked out in a sloppy standup fight with a champion kickboxer doesn't really change that, especially since that champion kickboxer got owned by Miesha loving Tate shortly after

Heck, so were the Graicies at the time. Didn't mean they didn't need a good clowning to stop their tough poo poo as being the only valid one.

Eh, Rousey was built up so much because she was the only thing to hang women's MMA on. Now that it has its own legs we don't need her anymore. Being retired is probably best for her. Focus on her acting career or something.
