@Free i've always found the Rousey thing so strange. granted she was exposed in those 2 fights and lost her belt but why not come back and just dominate the other 95% of the fighters in her weight class. like any other former champion has done lol aside from Barao. IDK how you could train and do something for so many years and then just walk away from it when it doesn't go your way once or twice.

With as bad of shape as his knees are in and knowing hes in for a 5 round **** fest. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if he had a little extra help with those knees and popped for it. the more I read the tweet though it seems like it could just be a general warning and pretty sound advice

@hideff McMahon made her an offer she couldn't refuse. Her and Travis brown live on a huge piece of land with their own farm. As opposed to dana whites offer at the time which was like " ok Rhonda u lost so u gotta gimme a blow job again and I'll give you another belt"

@free no i totally get it shes making more money now and all that and great for her. But she still spent more than half her life dedicated to combat sports in some form. Whether it was Judo as a child or her 6+ years of MMA or anything in between. Just very rare you see someone at the tip top of their game walk away completely after it doesn't go your way once or twice. She didn't get that WWE deal until 2 years after the Nunes fight. Again happy that shes happy and all just found it strange.

That's easy. She was the biggest fraud women's mma ever had. Holly broke her jaw and Nunez was about to put her unconscious if the stupid ref didn't stop it early. Scared her ****less. Perfect example of a fighter never being the same after a ko. I'm sure she was stupid enough to believe the hype that she was the best... She wasn't. She simply had great judo with an incredibly fast arm bar.
That's literally it.

@free i respectfully disagree. I do agree that was her whole game coming in to the UFC but she definitely evolved in some areas. 3 of her last 4 wins were by ko/tko. she was definitely getting better at the time IMO anyway. I do agree she was not the same after the ko from Holly and Nunes but look at Nunes now and that loss don't look so bad seeing as how Cyborg lasted a whole 3 seconds longer. With that being said i was never a Ronda fan and was happy to see Holly kick her head off but i still think its weird someone hangs it all up in their prime at 29 and being a competitor your whole life.

Getting ko'd has that effect sometimes. that's literally what I was talking about. That's what buddy seems to think will happen to Jess eye. And that happens alot to boxers much more rare in mma. Ronda is the best example I can think of although.

Thinking you're the best and then getting your lights turned off and jaw wired shut for months can have that effect. Answer: some people have more heart then others

And the last of those ko's you're referring to is against Beth careers whatever the **** her name is. They looked like two drunk *****s fighting at a strip club. Against Davis she used the same hip throw modified with a head lock and pit Pat punches. Even though Davis was dazed enough to not know the ref stopped it. It's highly likely Ronda would have gassed with those stupid punches before knocking out Davis but her buddy herb Dean came in with the early stoppage because the refs real job to protect Dana's investment. Ever wonder why the same ref calls one fight early and the next late. ***** boy dana white said so that's why.

Rousey ******* sucked! She always sucked. And after getting knocked out she realized that she sucked.

Barao as well but at least he tries for 2 rounds now haha problem is he keeps signing up for 3 rounds. But i hear ya man she def doesn't have the heart that some have and if she didnt get this Wrastlin deal I really do think she would have made a come back at some point but now shes silly rich and wont ever need to.

Barao is slightly different. I think he dominated on steroids and then got caught and basically sucked after that like 1+1=2. But he never quit which I can respect.

Too many of y’all sleeping on Volkanovski...
I personally think this has the potential to be the closest fight on the card.
I think after the first round we’ll have a good idea of who’s gonna pull out with win. It’s going to come down to whether Volkanovski is able to pin Max against the fence and keep him there for a boring win. Max is my favorite fighter in the UFC, but I do think he may be in for a long night.
