I'm betting Ronda doesn't show up. She's gotta be shook to the core.

Just an awful take, especially given the fight that preceded it.

Nah they'll care about Holm now.

Was pretty clear that White expected a squash given that he was willing to put her on the cover of a UFC game before the result of this fight.

that was violent! She got lit up right from the start. Best thing you could say about RR was she ate some serious shots in the 1st and got out of the round, but that's about it. Destroyed.

Was there any sort of fight plan for Rousey? That was a destruction from the opening bell.

She'll never want to fight someone with even half decent boxing skills again.

I imagine UFC is going to lose a TON of $$$ because of this result. Absolutely worse case scenario

^ How is this bad for UFC? The rematch is going to make an insane amount of money.

People were going to get tired of RR beating up a bunch of ham 'n eggers anyway, now there's something real to sell.

I mean I guess it's bad if RR just says peace out and goes to WWE or to make a bunch more Fast and Furious cameos but if she's going to keep fighting its fine.

The ratings agree with him so it can't be that awful of a take..

She'll use her trainer as a scapegoat claiming that he didn't develop a good strategy for the fight.

Short term, sure, but long term they needed someone to compete with her and the story of her trying to get her belt back will elevate the division further.

You're an idiot. They'll make bank on the rematch. Likely fixed too to make bank on a tiebreaker RD 3.

Haha that was awesome from Holly, perfect fight. It was fun to see Ronda's desperation.

Tyson knocked Douglas out the round prior to his own demise in that one, the ref just botched the count pretty egregiously.

Tyson knocked Douglas down and Douglas got up on a nine count. Don King said it was a long nine count and Tyson should have won the fight.

But yeah, Douglas didn't just destroy Tyson like RR got destroyed. This was more like Hearns Duran
