    <p>Ronda Rousey in equal measure terrifies and arouses me. It's an interesting mix. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>She's right about this suspension though. </p>

    <p>[spoiler]Rousey's stand up looked great against amateurs but embarrassingly shit against someone who had some experience. She should've listened to her mother a long time ago and ditched that joke of a striking coach Edmund. Then instead of believing all the hype about her being a rounded fighter, stuck to her strengths, judo, against Holm. Too arrogant.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Oh well, this should lead to some interesting fights in that division now. Assuming they don't go straight to the rematch (which I hope they don't), there could be some interesting match ups for Holm.[/spoiler]</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Pretty great PPV overall. The first fight on the main card sucked but Whittaker, Hunt and Joanna were awesome. Then the main event craziness topped it off.</p>

    <p>That kick to the head will probably stop her from expanding on her thoughts about lube for a while.</p>

    <p>Nite nite princess. Somewhat amusing after [spoiler]Rhonda was all up in Holm's grill at the weigh in. [/spoiler]</p>

    <p>I am really glad she got knocked out. The UFC needed that result. And i think Riousey did as well, she was going off the track.</p>

    <p>The UFC have two big draws at the moment, Rousey and McGregor, and given that McGregor is a huge underdog against Aldo, Rousey's loss is the worst possible thing that could've happened. It's like the one-two punch of GSP retiring and Anderson Silva getting knocked out all over again. Dana was pretty obviously upset afterwards.</p>

    <p>Don't get me wrong, I think it's good for MMA and probably for Rousey as well, but for the UFC itself? Not really.</p>

    <p>Being unbeaten is a good sell for a while, but a rematch will make everyone concerned millions, and if Rousey wins that, the tie-breaker will make a stack as well. I'm sure Dana will be fine once he gets his head round it!</p>

    reminds me of a quote someone made.....'Sure there's been deaths in boxing but none of them have been serious'

    <p>I don't follow this sport but the noise this bout has made, got me to have a look at what the fuss is all about.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Looked like a Friday Night outside Maccas in Upper Hutt, with a couple of skanks squabbling over who had the rights to suck off some P addicted, hoodie wearing driver of a modified Mitsubishi Mirage.</p>

    If the fern had an option to 'tag' members I'd be tagging Bones for his thoughts on that.

    Are you sure McGregor is the underdog?

    Denigrating any sport is a bit rich for any of us that would get up at 4 in the morning to watch 30 blokes chase around and egg shaped ball.

    Yeah but players generally aren't out to deliberately maim and assault eachother especially now Troy Flavell and Danny Grewcock have retired.
