Rousey v Holm

[Jarlaxle]

.Rousey was becoming a one trick pony. It was devastating trick, but something that can be countered by the right person. Holly was the right person.

Now we get to see if Rousey learns from this or not.

I'm not so sure we get that chance. In her only statement since Saturday night she said she still plans,to step away for a while. She has two movies to shoot in early 2016. After that, and with her "shattered" ego (as reported several places online, I thi k she might give WWE a call and go that way. It wojld be a short-lived experiment but it would spell the end for ger MMA career.

Gotta give her a week or two to get over getting her ass kicked. I see her as too much of a competitor to just walk away without even trying to get a re-match.

Unless this sends her into a downward spiral. I can see her crawling into a bottle.

 

[Jarlaxle]

yea they can make assloads.... Ronda cant win though. Holly outclasses her by too many leaps and bounds.

Then no rematch will ever occur. Ronda won't agree to take a second beating. Only if Ronda thinks she can convincingly win would there ever be a rematch.

If they wave a big enough crate of greenbacks in front of her she will.

Floyd mayweather Jr said people trolling her on social media need to stop.

We can't help it. That tough swagger its funny seeing her get beat up. All she needs to worry about is do we want to see her fight again and the answer is yes.

Oh....you're one of those nerds that dress up as Knights of the Roundtable and runs around with plastic swords wearing dresses.

No wonder you're such a dick.

Nope. I'm one of those geeks who puts,on 30 poinds of leather and netal, inluding a 12 lb. Steel helm and goes full speed and full force with rattan weapons in uncoreographed [sic] individual and melee combat. ....

= pathetic old basement nerd playing dress-up with the other losers.

It does sound like a less boring way to keep in shape.

Except that those overgrown LARPers are almost never in shape. They don't 'train,' they just dress-up and play with their toys every once in a while.

Think something along these lines, but older, fatter, and dressed in cheap plastic 'armor.'

You are a fucking idiot.

LARPer groupie?

Good grief, the woman lost a fight. Everyone loses once in a while. No need to treat her like shit because of it, jerks.

 

[mudwhistle]

That's the dumbest shit I've read today.

I hate my friends who say Ronda could beat me in a fight. I wrestled in college. I'd fuck her up. I wish a no name light weight mma guy fighter would whip her ass.

I wouldn't wrestle in H.S.

The smell was repulsive.

Im sure it had nothing to do with getting beat. Trust me, you win the smell goes away.

The smell never goes away. You walk into the mat-room and the whole place smells like an armpit.

My game was football. At least there's fresh air.

Are you kidding me those pads stunk too. Maybe if you're sitting on the bench enjoying the fresh air.

No but seriously, wrestlers get lots of nasty fungus'. I might have got ring worm from wrestling. But I didn't mind the smell. Maybe another guys sweat was gross too. OK I agree wrestling's gross. But I loved it. It got me into college.

There are several levels of stink......and personally I think anyone who likes that stink has issues.

A football player's got to be tougher than to be turned away by a little perspiration/inspiration/odoration.

I stopped playing football because of stingers. You hit head to head your neck snaps back and you feel paralyzed for ten seconds. The sport is too violent. Or how bout when your finger is smashed between two helmets. No thanks.

I loved just wrestling and off season we just lifted weights. No one else was doing that back in the late 80s. We were lucky enough to have a gym open in our then small town. So first thing get your kid into pushups sit ups curls bench press. Light weight to start out.

A stinger is when you pinch a nerve in your neck. The pain from that can last for weeks, but most of the helmets they have now prevent that. Riddells were the worst. I always preferred a Bike helmet.....but I haven't played since the 80s. The advancements in helmet safety have gone about as far as it can go. I wrote a paper in college on it. If you want to change the game, reduce some of the injuries, take away the helmets. But then you'll have guys still bashing their heads into people.

Always a possibility. The next two weeks will be telling.

 

[ChrisL]

Some of you are ridiculous. She is an athlete. I'm sure she's lost before as an amateur. No one is a machine and wins every single time. Even the greatest athletes lose sometimes. Get a grip on yourselves.

 

[Anathema]

Well, it's been 4 days (almost) and her only public comment has been an Istagram posting mentioning her previously stated lack of interest in any fight prior to July of next year. Thst by itself says to me thst she's likely done ib tge octagon.

We all love someone who's undefeated. Once they lose what's the point? And I guess 1 loss is OK but I'm not paying to watch anyone with 2 loses fight. Unless they are fighting for a championship or they are fighting another fighter that's undefeated.

Ronda still has my interest. But the undefeated streak is over. That's not a good thing.

Well, I'm not that shallow. She's a person and people lose sometimes. That is just life. Get used to it unless you want to be a dysfunctional tard like the poster above you.

You nay nit be, but a,large portion of the world is. Ronda had not lost in the MMA world prior to last weekend.

Her last loss prior to that was at the 2008 Olympic judo tournament. A loss that so frustrated her that even going on to earn a bronze medal in the tournament wasn't enough to overcome it.

Part if Ronda Rousey's "draw" was her "I'll do anything to win" and "I'd rather die than lose" attitude. That all burst like a soap bubble last Saturday. Now there's really nothibg to separate her from any other wanna be.

Yep, being the first ever women's bantamweight champ and having 7 successful defenses of that title does not separate her from any other 'wanna be'.

She's bee been suspended for 90 days.....possibly 180....because of the knockout.....so she can't fight for awhile anyway.

Btw, most boxers fight once or twice a year and she's fought several times this year....so STFU.

I saw a match she lost to some tall girl from the Nederlands. She lost on one point in the gold period....sudden death. Up to then it was a scoreless tie....so I can see her frustration. I just think their scoring system is too subjective and open to interpretation.

Ahe was GIVEN the title. To her credit she didn't want it to be GIVEN, but Dana White insisted.so her first fight should have been to DETERMINE the Champion, not defend it. After that she had five victories before getting her ass kick last weekend.

In a fight it's win or "die". So in my mind Ronda "died" last week.

 

[Anathema]

Never pick (or accept) a fight you can't or aren't willing to do whatever is necessary to win. Ronda Roisey apparently forgot that bit of advice.

I agree that pretty much ALL "Judged" aports are far too open to interpretation. Including Boxing and MMA. In the fight sports it should be "On" until someone submits or is knocked out. No rounds. No points. "Kill" or be "Killed".
