The best part about the Ronda/Holm fight was that Joe Rogan was talking for months about how Ronda was the greatest female fighter of all time and what an absolute privilege it was to be able to see her perform. Then when she lost he did a complete 180 and rarely talks about her at all unless asked directly.

I posted about this already but watch the fight again because you're remembering wrong. Literally the entire fight he was criticizing Ronda's sloppy technique and praising Holly's form, you could tell he knew she was getting her rear end beat right from the start.

Of course he's going to hype ronda before it starts because they're friends and he has a financial stake in getting big numbers in these fights but you're crazy if you don't think his fight commentary was fair & balanced (unironically). I was very impressed by his impartiality

did the military make you retarded or something? You seem to have an issue with just repeating things you are told.

I mean if you are "Robot Pride" because you are a literal robot that has programming for brains and is trying to understand the complexities of the world you live in and human interaction then I'll give you a pass. It's either that or you are a giant innocent toddler that somehow hasn't learned what lies are.

I don't think any commentator thinks any of the current heavyweight contenders deserve any of those belts, they are pretty much across the board mediocre.

That's because the HW division has been dead since Feb 11, 1990.

why does fighting always have to be the dramatic ending with these people?

watching them passionately eat each other's snatches is equally if not more dramatic of an ending

To be fair, Rousey said she wouldn't fight Cyborg cuz she's a steroid cheater or something, but she never was asked if she'd be up for an angry sex wrestling match with her.

well, if she is then that reduces the logistics costs since they won't be needing a strap-on

Cyborg's been juicing so long it's probably altered her body in a permenant way.

ronda from 5 days ago.

she's probably over it, but I don't think she's been training at all. there's like 5 girls now who can contend the title and haven't taken a yearlong depression break. surprised the UFC still has her ranked tbh.

this is still my favorite picture of her

A flying knee. He never lost consciousness either.

Then his opponent threw a pokemon ball at him. I kid you not.

nobody thought it was that bad until the xray. I doubt the dude would've pokeball'd him if he knew he nearly killed him.

If I were the guy that got kneed in the head, I'd be like, double pissed when I came to. 'He threw a what at me?!'

Thanks for the links everybody. I'm a boxer and made a comment to my dad the other day 'it'd be as unbalanced as some of those old UFC fights' and promised to send a link to some good examples.
