So Ronda's a domestic abuser huh? the sheer irony of this...

Honda

Why isn't that a huge story.. Should be front page everywhere.

 

[shogun]

All media stations will ignore it. She's the face of their girl power agenda. I only see positive stories about her on fs1, abc, and espn. Even when the rumors about him first started no one reported about it on tv and just talked about her book and how little girls looked up to that hypocrite.

Off topic, whoever started the whole putting up your clenched fist up in pics needs to be put to sleep.

She is so brave and is such a positive role model. She is a once ever in human history...

Didn't her book come out a months ago? It's kind of crazy how no one asked her any questions while she did the media tour? Or during the tour to promote the Holms fight.

 

[shogun]

Her image is definitely being protected like crazy with no one even asking about it and no sports shows on tv even mentioning it.

The only mma news shows I watch are on fs1 which are basically run by the ufc so I doubt they'll ignore it too or just mention browne without talking about her.

I wish I still had the channel that had The MMA Hour, they don't kiss the ufc's butt.

Also has Big Foot won a fight since getting off TRT? I feel like it's been a ghost of Christmas past with him lately. I won't lie that first Hunt/Big Foot fight was great.

He KO'd Soa Palelei on August 1

Bruhh... talked to my BMs about this situation cause she's a big Honda fan.

She was defender her like a mofo and was going at dudes like Greg Hardys neck not very long ago..like how is he still playing football after that

Talking about "some random guy got beat up by a girl big deal I don't feel sorry for him.."

"his girlfriend was Ronda Rousey he knew she could fight why would he do something to piss her off"

"..it doesn't happen nearly as often as guys beating up women. You don't know what it's like to be a woman yadda yadda yadda. "

Real talk.. I didn't eem want to respond to her anymore, was getting annoyed

..all I could do was scratch my head.

Wish my bae Miesha Tate was still having her rematch and try to catch honda with the big right hand she's been showing.

Find it so amusing that the same people cheering her on when she challenges men to fight her, are the same people that don't think men should hit women.
Imagine how many women have taken on her persona and are jumpin up in dudes faces challenging them to a fight.

I wish someone would go ahead and fight her so we can squash this tough girl crap they are pushing right now.
I by no means condone men hitting women, but she is a professional fighter and really seems to have a distorted view of her abilities.
She actually BELIEVES she can beat up a male professional fighter.
I've seen her on Kimmel bragging about beating a dude up at the movies.
A fight she instigated with the dudes girlfriend.

I remember hearing about this a few weeks ago. I think it was Cyborg that said something about it and how Ronda isn't a role model. But except for a few people online, everyone basically ignored it. 

***Twist in the Cro Cop retirement/injury story. Looks like USADA provisionally suspended him for violating the drug policy.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Cro Cop news is lowkey to be expected 

 

[g money 87]

News is to b expected from all them cats from pride

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Khabib will try to return. Looks like he's targeting FEB 2016

His last fight was in April of 2014

Yikes

Give him Nate Diaz, especially if he loses against Johnson in DEC. Khabib needs a good warm up fight

mirko thought he was slick

 

[equality]

Just got tickets last night. Can't wait!

 

[shogun]

Watching first take because they mentioned that may weather and honda was a topic. They're only talking about floyd's comments about how it's not good for boxing to have her on the cover of a boxing magazine.

The avoidance of any story that makes her look bad is unreal.

Just like Paterno saying he would retire at the end of the season and they ended up axing him anyway

Dude Cro Cop went through an extensive explanation of his injury too 

 is dude really hurt?

“Unfortunately I had to cancel the fight in Seoul,” the Croatian fighter wrote on his website,mirkofilipovic.com. “In the beginning of the preparation I already hurt my shoulder, so I couldn’t raise a hand. I tried to save a shoulder injury and repair in all possible ways: daily therapy, injections of blood plasma and various cocktails of drugs but didn’t work out. The only cure would be a break of two to three weeks, and that I could not afford in the midst of final preparations. By daily trainings the injury gets worse. Part of the muscle is snapped, the shoulder is filled with a lot of fluids, and the great danger is that tendon ruptures and then go to operation again.”

They're not gonna talk about it. ESPN is on the Rousey bandwagon. If she wins on Saturday, college football highlights and NFL previews are gonna take a backseat to her with them talking about how incredible she is and how she's the best/most dominant athlete in the world.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

We've seen worse athletes get the icon treatment

Dudes have murdered, raped, beaten multiple partners (badly) are all put on pedestals. It's really nothing new

 

[jinkazama]

I got a question for the thread...Is Rousey this good or has she not had a worthy challenger yet?

This was asked a while back but the answer is: both
