<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>The big girl got schooled.</p>

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

<p>She certainly talks the game like a promoters dream!</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> </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>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.
