Yeah, Tyson had already beaten 7 guys who were previous HW major title belt holders or belt holders at the the time he beat them. RR was just the product of extreme hype.

Yeah, she teed her up. Holm was just in complete control once she landed a couple straight lefts.

RR might be legit wetbrained now. She was out cold on the kick and took two more hammer shots to the dome. I thought the ref was slow there.

And then when someone asked dana white about it he called he reporter a pussy and said to get a life.

Almost as good of a Dodge as holms last night

In the shortterm it's inarguably bad, in the longterm it could be great. Rousey correia sold 900k buys. That was up from 600k for the previous rousey headlined ppv. This one was projected to sell at least 900k apparently. Losing a fighter selling almost a million ppvs on name alone in a division where the casual viewer couldn't tell you what cyborg's actual name is is a loss no matter how you look at it

I think Herb Dean probably insta-stops it 99% of the time, but knowing the magnitude of a RR loss he wanted to make sure there'd be no controversy.

Second one landed cleanly, as did the third. Herb was reaching for Holly's arm during the third punch but didn't grab it till after it landed and it looked like it landed with some force. I'm not 100% sure the first strike didn't at least land a glancing blow.

Holm is a ghoulish man with more testosterone flowing through her than half the NFL. I'd definitely be afraid of her.

She looks like 150 other Irish girls I know (or Amy Schumer minus sixty pounds).

Also, she's been ripped out since she was 20.

there is a near endless supply of incredibly talented athletes that are unlikable for various reasons, usually off-field ****

Jordan
Bonds
Mayweather
Clemens

etc, and those 4 guys are legit best ever talent, you respect how good they are but you don't like them

I feel like this is a troll. So many reasons to dislike Ronda. I have been over her personality since she TUF and her silly "nobody talks **** to me or people I love" schtick with Tate. The way she manufactures hate vs every opponent. She is pretty dumb. I thought her judo and ground game was dominant enough to have her cruise to an undefeated retirement since the talent in the women's division is still in relative infancy, but claiming she was better than any woman at every aspect of the game when her stand up always looked like crap was ridic. What is likable about her except she is very talented?

And the comment about the new champs looks right after accusing others of sexism is hilarious. Unless you comment about which male champ is the most handsomest.

This is clearly a disaster for UFC. Rousey was billed as the best female fighter ever, someone who could legitimately hang with male fighters (Joe Rogan said that). She may have been the biggest female athlete in all of North America. Non-fans were tuning in just to see Rousey destroy someone. She was completely mainstream

All that is now gone. Even if she wins the rematch, she'll never be the unstoppable phenom any longer
