The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- Cannonier, Imavov, Reyes, Rosas on NOW

[spiderjericho]

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

It's probably a little of both. But women's MMA is still fairly new in a sense so the competition hasn't caught up to her yet.

They're not really similar but it kind of reminds me of Hoyce when he first burst on the scene. But that was more unfamiliarity with BJJ and the way fighters were disciplined in one style.

Honda is an Olympic level athletes in Judo so she's great there (but then again they had her take on a Olympic level wrestler) and her dedication to the art and fierceness is just on another level.

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.”

He's now saying that after he injured his shoulder he injected himself with growth hormone.

Out of all the people she's faced, liz carmouche had her in the most trouble with a choke and if Miesha Tate had a better fight iq / game plan I thought she could've done better in their second fight. She was winning in the standup and for some reason wanted to keep clinching and trying to take her down to prove a point. With Miesha's new punching power and better boxing, I wanted to see a third fight between them.

Really funny they put her on the cover of ring magazine when she's not even the best striker in women's mma. Joanna and holm have the striking credentials but just lack the attention that them b being on the cover would get. Wonder how the female boxing champions feel about this.

Came in to post this. I personally know chicks who have been boxing for >2 years just for a workout who look more coordinated when shadow boxing. No exaggeration.

I mean...look at it. It's turrible. I don't think anyone knocked her ground game, but her hands are dog crap.

She's a big fish in a LITTLE pond. Most overhyped thing since Y2K.

Yeah. She's still a hell of an athlete and a very skilled grappler, but WMMA sucks bra. I still can't forget Cat Zingano's goofy flying knee and then leaving her arm completely outstretched just asking for the sub. Possibly the worst performance/game planning in a title fight that I've seen in MMA

If you watch her fights she takes alot of punches on her way in too but hasn't been forced to give a **** yet because none of those girls can hurt her. And none of them have enough movement, power and skill to keep her off of them for a decent period of time.

If there's one thing Holly Holm might be able to do though, maybe it's that. Considering her boxing pedigree I'm hoping she can manage to actually work a jab and keep moving, keep turning Ronda and not just let her bum rush with no repercussions.

both champs are gonna destroy this weekend

We have to give all of the credit to the UFC Marketing Division and Dana's thirst. Women's Bantam weight was pretty much built as a platform to push Rhonda Rhousey. She doesn't have not one legitimate opponent outside of Cyborg. It's pretty much opponent of the week. Liz did a decent job (Ooh Rah) and Miesha was more solid in the second fight. But the game is still young.

I like Joanna but Straw Weight is looking suspect too.

Here's a vid of Jose Aldo sparring Andy Souwer. This is FAR MORE impressive than MacGregor sparring an untrained giant

Racist Rhonda called herself a kidnap victim and then winked at the camera

I'm starting to sour on Ronda....

Watched the first 2 minutes of Embedded Episode 1 and turned it off. 

She needs to get over herself with this female empowerment stuff. I'm all for equality but I don't want it shoved down my throat at every opportunity.
