I thought Miesha had really dumb strategies but what Cat did was even worse. honda could probably face the top 3 contenders again in a gauntlet fight and beat them in a total of 2 rounds.

I heard that rogan said she would beat half of the guys in the 135 division. We know she's the best women's fighter but they need to relax with all the dumb ish they say to hype her up.

It was ok. Looked like a sparring match most of the time. Dude hasn't evolved his game at all in 10 years.

He said he really believes she can beat 50% of the guys in the division just because her arm bar is literally the best in the world male or female and she can pull it from anywhere.
But he also qualified it by talking about a female boxer from back in the day who was dominating women at every level, then fought an average to good dude in an exhibition and got creamed. Then he talked about physiology, testosterone, etc. He said if Ronda can take a punch from a dude then she'd legit be a force in that division but he doesn't know that she could.

I saw Brock showed up in a suit. Really weird to see. Last time I saw him dressed up was in that yearbook picture.

@Antidope can you edit that GIF breh, we're not supposed to have GIFs of any PPV events
Doesn't sound like Cyborg plans to cut down to 135 in her next fight, she made it sound like she really needs to prepare for it. On Friday night for her fight, she said she was up to 170 pounds
Dana said Ronda is going to shoot a movie so who knows when she'll fight next but I hope it isn't Holly Holm. They should give Holm another opponent like Jessica Eye first
Brock is having issues with the WWE so he might be back in the UFC sooner than later.. I don't see the point though. I don't think that disease had anything to do with how is career with the UFC ended

I heard something like Ronda got PPV shares and Cat didn't, so Ronda probably ended up making a ton of money
Seems like Dana was saying that PPV buys were looking nice
The gate also did almost 3 million according to Dana

Didn't even know Marina Shafir got KO'd in 17 seconds last year. I was about to ask if she's getting any looks from the UFC.

Really disappointed no reporter had the balls to ask Dana and Ronda "well why not just meet at 140?"
Dana was quick to say "Cyborg just needs to make 135, why would the champion chase Cyborg?"
Well that isn't what's going on here, the facts are Ronda is destroying every opponent at 135 and that women's MMA is still in its infancy. When you have someone as game as Cyborg and as scary as Cyborg, going up 5 pounds isn't "chasing". It's a fight that EVERYONE wants to see and Dana is always quick to say "we put on the fights that PEOPLE WANT TO SEE, unlike boxing"
Ronda said before her fight that no favors should be done for Cyborg because "she is a cheater" and that "cheaters always want things made easy for them". Stop running Ronda

Dana is right though. Why would Ronda chase Cyborg? She's the champ. She got nothing to prove. Cyborg should be the one going after Ronda. Especially with her controversial PED issues. Is like Jon Jones, GSP, Aldo going to A upper division because they are being called out. Why would they? You have no idea what training they do to make weight. Why change the game plan for a weight division you don't do? Nah. Is cyborg wamts Ronda she fights her at the division she is the champ at. Only thing we can hope is for Holms stand up to beat Ronda. I believe Zingano had a legit chance, she just did a HORRIBLE mistake and Ronda capitalized.

Again women's MMA is in its infancy. You don't compare them to men because there is no comparison. Ronda is storming through every woman at 135 and the competition just isn't developed enough not evolved enough
This isn't "chasing" it's making a fight EVERYONE wants to see
I don't think Ronda has anything to prove but if they never fought it would be a real shame
Over 5 ******* pounds? Make the damn fight at 140
This isn't about being champ of a division it's about taking on an opponent all fans want to see

The people who keep saying Holm should fight Ronda or stands a chance cuz of her striking... last night was a split decision.

She needs at least two more fights tbh but the way the division looks I'm assuming:
Ronda v Corriera
Holm v Jessica Eye or someone similar
Tate v the winner of Davis v Kaufman
If Holm wins I could see them doing Ronda v Holm

dude was so adamant about not taking anything, should have just come out and admit it

Ronda is a god, you could probably have her go against the top 3 women not named Ronda in the division in one night and she'd win. Kitty cat has the decision making skills of a 12 year old under the influence of ecstasy.

People are always quick to scream FIX, it's to be expected
stupid, but nonetheless, expected
Some folks don't seem to grasp the concept that women's MMA is barely starting. When you have someone as advanced as Ronda, who's been competing in Judo since a teenager, her leg up on the competition cannot be emphasized enough
This is why a match with Cyborg makes so much sense. It's the most even odds opponent as you're going to get and it's not as if Ronda hasn't fought 145ers before. It's not as if the size difference is really that crazy. Fighting at a catchweight of 140 makes perfect sense

you really don't think that disease affected how he was able to train and take in food during the end of his ufc days. he was suffering from it even before he entered the ufc, and it gradually became worse. had he waited on treating it, it really could've ended badly for him. they removed a foot of colon from his body
it didn't help that he wasn't groomed properly and brought up. really think a 100 pct brock would beast in the ufc. he became the champ off his athleticism and his wrestling. if he had time to develop other aspects, no doubt, he could've been a great.
hope he makes a return sooner than later. the guy is a big draw and talent

No, I didn't
It was painfully obvious to even a novice fan that Brock has NO STANDUP. Zilch. At his age, even with "training" it was an uphill battle to evolve them to the point where he could truly beat a Cain or JDS
His disease had nothing to do with the fact that he doesn't possess even basic stand up fundamentals. His chin is also delicate as a flower, which again, has NOTHING to do with his disease

think his chin can take a punch. just how he reacts to getting hit. needs to get use to it. he took a beating vs carwin and was able to last. i just think he panics when he gets hit. it's not like they knocked him out cold.
they threw him in against some of the better fighters to start his career

Same difference though, regardless if he gets knocked out cold or not, he can't take a punch because he has zero grasp on standup fundamentals. Yes you're absolutely right that he panics which spells disaster in MMA.
With Shane Carwin, Brock just got LUCKY as hell Carwin had no gas tank and blew his load
I'm not saying Brock is a scrub by any means, I'm saying I don't see the point in him coming back if his goal is to win the belt. If his goal is to get MONEY then sure, that's attainable
He would get DESTROYED by Cain, JDS and Browne. I wouldn't think he'd have a chance against Werdum either. I'd also be worried for his health against a Stipe, Hunt or Overeem
