11.15.15 | was this like a straight up ass whopping? the other girl doesnt look like she even got hit.. |

11.15.15 | It was a wipeout rousey's amateur striking was exposed heavily she got beatdown |

11.15.15 | holly holm is no stick in the mud- 33 wins out of 38 in professional boxing, 10-0 in MMA. Crazy. |
TychoBrahe
11.15.15 | Just saw it. Brutal. Holm is a tall and rangy southpaw with damn good handspeed, combinations, ability to counter, and she's quick on her feet. That left cross was a beauty. Was she really something like a 10-1 underdog? Ronda still looked dangerous when she was able to connect but it was like she was determined to try and outbox the boxer (didn't hear what her corner was saying after the first). Huge mistake. I know her few attempts at taking Holm to the ground were neutralized but she really should have been making more attempts at cutting off the octagon and scoring some takedowns. I doubt a lifetime boxer like holm has the ground game Rousey does. The rematch should be interesting. |
Deez
11.15.15 | they need to stop making immediate rematches.
That was great to see last night. I cant stand Rouseys petulant child act but more so I cant stand the UFC hyperbole. Calling her one of the greatest fighters of all time?? most dominant champ of all time? ridiculous. In a division where half the women took the sport up as a keep fit class! She was fighting cans alot of the time the bethe fight was ridiculous as no MMA fan believed she should even be in there. But Rogans 'Rousey has ELITE striking' has to be the best. I love seeing a hypetrain derail. |

11.15.15 | There is a new hypetrain taking passengers right now:

11.15.15 | dont forget the Mcgregor train |

11.15.15 | Oh man, if that train derails, I fear for Dana White's life.....
Put that man on suicide watch |

11.15.15 | It wasn't a hype train idiot it was real life. The hype happened. Just shut the fuck up. I'm glad Holly won but you're just being a little brat about it. |
Deez
11.15.15 | hahaha here they come. Been taking their Ronda posters down all day.
The hype wasnt real. At least not justified.She was given a title and defended it against women in an infant sport. Not her fault or the UFCs. But trying to make out she had 'elite striking' (rogan) and was 'most dominant combat sports champion of all time' and such other utter utter shit was nauseating for anyone whos actually watched the sport grow over many years. And as was proven last night when up against someone with similair level of consistent fighting throughout their life, seasoned fighters, she not just got beat but embarrassed and destroyed. |
Deez
11.15.15 | oh wait and now its the 'biggest upset in the history of combat sports!' laughable,hyperbole bullshit for all but the new WWE style crowd they attract. |
JizzInMyPants
11.15.15 | for real tho, Holms training with Jon jones man, seen them oblique kicks? Right from jon jones. I dont think she even did that in her previous 2 (boring as hell) ufc fights. |
Deez
11.15.15 | she was a top level female boxer nearly 40 wins and 9-0 in her MMA career and a starlet under winklejohn it was ridiculous that no one gave her a chance. Saying that I still though rousey would eventually get hold of her and get the sub. But her defence was great too. Superb performance. |
JizzInMyPants
11.15.15 | I just hope Ronda actually comes back and get better, I believe she will. Atleast with Ronda you get some great, scrappy fights. With Holms....well the reason that fight was entertaining was because of Ronda. It seems a Holms fight will only bring entertaining if her opposition brings it, and since she is the champ, her opponents should be hungry enough to bring it.
Also it seems Meisha Tate doesnt need to retire, Lol I remember when the fight was announced in January, I was like "Holms Maybe has a chance...." And then they made it November, I thought she had a VERY VERY slim chance, like almost no chance at all. I thought she needed those 2 months of training BADLY. But it seemed Ronda needed it more. |
Deez
11.15.15 | I actually went to put a bet on Holm but got greedy and did 2 fights instead of 1 and lost :( Its a big moment for Ronda, especially the way she acted at the way ins and not touching gloves then proceeding to get owned! I think Cats the sleeper. She made a stupid decision to rush rousey in their fight but I would like to see that fight again. Definitely makes it interesting that why id rather not an immediate rematch but Dana will want his cash cow back on track as soon as poss. |
JizzInMyPants
11.15.15 | One thing about this card though, which I thought was absolutely stupid when they announced it, the stephen struve and jared fight, why the hell would you put the two of the most boring fighters in the fight???? anyways, the next 2 months of UFC should be balling, especially the Carlos/lawler fight. I honestly don't know who will win the conor fight and, dont really care about the weidman/rockhold fight. |
Deez
11.15.15 | dude the dec 12 card is insane especially the main card. I dont like mcgregor. i know its an act, when the mask slips hes a pretty safe guy but ive been an aldo fan for years. Mcgregor is BIG for the weight tho. I cant pick. Well see. Rockhold/weidman and Souza/romero will be insane man. I think rockhold can beat weidman. I fear lawler might come to soon for condit after his lay off, but yeah some great fights coming up! |
Riviere
11.15.15 | I hope Ronda ditches Edmond, her mother was right about him. Talking too much in her ear and that was some of the worst corner advice between rounds, should have told her to be patient and pick her shots to set up the clinch. It'll be interesting to see how she comes back from this.
Dec 12th is probably one of the best main cards I've seen in years. I got Jacare beating Romero, and I think Luke pulls the upset. Aldo/Conor seems too hard to bet on, Conor's looked nearly unstoppable but Aldo is a monster. I bet he wrestles him like Mendes did. |
JizzInMyPants
11.15.15 | on a side note, how the HELL does romero have a body like that at like 40 with no fucking PEDs????? he looks like a fucking greek god.
I mean the traps and amazing, the chest... my god......Im not gay and i want to touch it. |
Riviere
11.15.15 | Maybe he's on some undetectable stuff. His body looks a lot like Lombard's. |

11.15.15 | power of jesus bro : P |

11.15.15 | agree hard about edmond, dudes a cheerleader not a coach. Classic guy put in the friendzone who cant let it go |

Storm In A Teacup
11.16.15 | It's definitely crazy no one would give her a chance. I kinda figured she had the advantage because of her size and yes she has kicked like that before. Idk if it's the same exact kick but it was the same target area |
MO
11.16.15 | I knew Holm would at the very least give Ronda a super hard time, but for her to come out and straight up win convincingly? fucking so damn satisfying. Ronda has a lot of holes in her game that haven't been exposed because she's basically always fought people smaller than her who always seemed to play into her game. good job Holm, a nice modest champ will be a great change of pace for the sport |
JizzInMyPants
11.16.15 | This sport has enough "nice, modest" champions, I like heel champions. They are more entertaining and bring people to the seats. |
Deez
11.16.15 | I dont really care either way. Ronda is just like a spoilt brat. She consistently has people telling her shes the Mike Tyson of WMMA and How hot she is when she is neither! And believes it. Calls out celebs for doing bikini shoots then does a bikini shoot, calls out wife beaters then stars dating a wife beater. I havent even heard her say anything on the fight yet I know she went to hostpital and missed the post fight interview. Must be difficult dealing with your first lass after being told youre queen of the world for so long! My heart fucking bleeds!! |
JizzInMyPants
11.16.15 | I care, the more money ufc/mma professionals make, the more talent will come into it. And the more talent, hopefully the more entertaining it will become. So I always hope for the big loud mouths(or whoever can draw the most) that will put people in seats will win. I am VERY excited to see what the future holds for Yair Rodriguez and Thomas Almeida. |
Deez
11.16.15 | In all honestly its as talent rich as its ever been. More money doesnt mean more money for the fighters, They are still ludicrously low paid unless you run with ( and have the mic skills) the WWE angle. Which as a martial arts fan annoys the shit out of me. The martial arts in mixed martial arts is getting lost. Theres too much focus on being the next big mouth because it pays and Dana doesnt. Looking at pics of Dana sipping whiskey with Mcgregor while champions of the sport reside in far less extravegant accomadation makes me sick. This reebok deal and a million other things just takes away from fighters what they should be earning.
For sure though now theres alot of young fighters who train soley in MMA rather than cross discipline. I started BJJ 10 years ago in AUS (mark hunt/james te huna where in my gym) on returning the UK you couldnt find a school that wasnt miles away. Now they are everywhere. |
MO
11.16.15 | ^ exactly, the discipline and respect is going the way of the dodo. it's just becoming how much louder you can be than someone else. of course this brings in more money but mma is already so damn popular that in the end people will respect the talent and fighting more than the loudmouth bs
also I agree the way some fighters are compensated is fucking abysmal |
JizzInMyPants
11.16.15 | Yeah its as talent rich as it is now because the average MMA fighter are getting paid more now than what they are used to (well.... before the reebok deal?).
At the end of the day, MMA competition is a form of entertainment, so I don't know where you are getting this "Martial arts is getting lost" thing from, as long as it is entertaining it is doing it's job. You still have to train your ass off and fight against savages in the octagon whether you have a big mouth/flashy fighting skills or not. The reason MMA is popular is because of the stars, Ronda/Conor/Tito Ortiz/ Kimbo slice/Brock lesnar/Anderson Silva. If there are no stars, no one will care. It happens in other sports, no one cares about heavyweight boxing since Tyson left, no one cares about Tennis since Serena's name faded away, no one cares about golf since Tiger woods is not in his prime. |
Calc
11.16.15 | sad how people love seeing successful people fail, but like jizz said there's enough modest champs in all sports. we need more kayne wests out there. |
Deez
11.16.15 | Nah from what ive read last 2 days your casual fans switched on Rousey when she made a total dickhead of herself at the weigh in. This aura they built around her slipped right then, especially when she couldnt string a sentence together when they make every embedded look like shes a philosopher or some shit. Then that Instagram messages after, then the no handshake. Seems a lot of new comers liked how Composed Holm was under it. Ronda came out looking real bad. Personally ive never liked her since TUF. And found the hype around her sickening inflated. Pathetic, victim child who happens to be insanely good at Judo but no one is unbeatable. |
