The MMA Thread - Page 259 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

yeah this really does suck for mma lol one champ gets popped for cocaine, GOAT gets popped for steroids, and Ex champ of strikeforce for weed lol. It's like a casual viewer will think this is a circus. All in one month Dana white's head must be spinning

At least he got them into the cage. Next two main events are completely shot.

Not a big shock, as I assume a vast majority of fighters are on PEDs.

However, it takes balls to go hard against them when you are using them extensively.

We're probably less than two years out from the NFL instituting real testing. I know nothing about the lawsuits but I'd expect a few of the concussions suits to be going after the NFL's joke testing.

That will redefine both circus and hot take.

Their us "competition" is running a card in the summer with the headliner of two guys who retired in 2010. UFC keeps expanding the # of cards they do probably b/c they get more $ doing it that way but the product has definitely suffered.

Just think though, if Rousey was in shape, the fight would have lasted less than 10 seconds. You know, instead of the 13 it took.

Who the hell told or convince Zingano that was a good strategy to start a fight? Such a low percentage high risk move.

Let's rush a Judo specialist and then flail my arms around to the best arm bar in the sport.

Easy $100,000 for 14 seconds of being a moron.

I don't know what was worse, her performance or her interview after the fight.

Rousey still a beast though, the reversal on the takedown was sublime.

MMA was a joke a couple years ago, it's far worse now which is hard to imagine.

Rousey just has zero competition right now. Not sure how they're going to set up real competitors for her moving forward the next couple of years.

I guess just keep letting her beat the hell out of cans - although it's not really fair to call them cans, it's just that Ronda is so far ahead of the pack that title fights are rarely even a little competitive.

Ronda vs Bryan Caraway is the only solution.

Lol yes please. I'd watch that. Prolly the only chance I pay for a Ronda main event is if she fights a dood. ****, mind as well go mighty mouse v ronda. Only Chance I'll ever pay to see either headline a card

Ronda vs Cyborg could be interesting. But there's a couple of problems: Cyborg would have to find her way to the UFC from Invicta. That could be an issue as the UFC doesn't even have cyborg's weight class, and cyborg has also failed a drug test and is rumored to be pretty roided. They'd have to agree on weight - Ronda has stated that Cyborg would have to fight at 135, but I don't know if Cyborg could get there. 140 catchweight fight would seem reasonable, but high risk/low reward for Ronda.

Ronda could definitely win a fight vs. a man. Female grapplers/wrestlers have had success vs men before. She's definitely tool most guys at her weight class in submission grappling. The only problem would be skull density and punching power, and the fact that all the guys she'd be fighting are roided out.

She'd still beat most of them imo.
