I don't follow Rousey much but she's always got that stupid mean girl attitude look on her face. It was nice to see her get knocked, hopefully she will revert to her default normal face from now on.

Other thing about Rousey, she is the most overhyped overrated athlete on the planet. Clearly women's UFC is a NEW sport, the talent pool is severely limited. As the sport grows and more women and girls get into it, naturally superior athletes and fighters will rise up. In a few years no one will remember Rousey.

wonder if she will go to WWE - they will throw big money at her now she is not the champ

She was in WWE for the cash, but she is an Olympic athlete so I don't think play wrestling will be in her future.

Gotta disagree with you there - women's MMA has existed for a long time, the UFC didn't invent it.

Whilst Rousey ran through some fighters you could argue were sub-par, the fact is that she has been the most dominant fighter in the history of the UFC. She hasn't dodged any fights. The only person out there is Cyborg, but she is not in the same weight division, and has had a history of steroid issues.

People forget this was Ronda's 3rd fight in 9 months - that is phenomenal.

Yes, she is massively hyped.
Yes, she has a huge chip on her shoulder.

But that doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is getting it done in the octagon.

She has been a 1 trick pony so far, to the extent that her strategy has been all-out aggression. She wasn't able to overwhelm her opponent this time, and got found out.

She is still an amazing fighter, and will be better from the loss. It will make her more well rounded.

Stating that "in a few years no one will remember Rousey" is absurd and ignorant in the extreme. She put women's MMA on the map and made it credible as a big money draw. Even if she lost 10 matches in a row now, she will always be the Don Bradman or Babe Ruth of women's MMA.

Knowing how desperate they are for ratings they may throw a truck load at her for 1 or 2 events to actually get in the ring thou

She will take some time away from the octagon (she has had 3 fights in 9 months), sort out her personal life and coaching issues.

She will be back within 6 months - either straight back into a rematch, or via a couple of fights to get rid of ring rust.

She will eventually have a WWE run, but she has 6 fights left on her UFC contract and they have already said she cannot do anything for WWE involving physicality.

She is 28 I think - 6 more fights will put her past the age of 30. Then the WWE will make her the Brock Lesnar of the women's division of WWE once her UFC contract ends. But not beforehand.

Oh contract wise cant see her going then, I know WWE wanted her at wrestlemania.

Hopefully the re match comes around sooner rather than later will be interesting viewing that is for sure

The WWE Cash train has dried up for Ms Rousey imo. She loses alot of her value without the streak.

Gotta disagree - look at Brock Lesnar. Multiple UFC losses, even a previous WWE run that ended with a terrible main event match vs Goldberg, yet look at the draw he is now.

Rousey vs Charlotte would be HUUUUUUUGE!!!!

But it won't happened for at least a few years yet.

Lesnar isn't much of a draw for WWE. Great draw for UFC.

What time is tomorrow's fight for us in Oz?

pretty sure main event had it starting at 2pm Eastern time.

Cheers!

Main card starts at 2 AEDT. I'd guess the main event will be about 4. Whoever wins the championship will almost certainly take on Edgar in their next fight after he ko'd Mendes in round 1 today

Massive shots by Santos.
Then bolts out of the octagon haha.

Almost another runaway Brazilian. :lol:

Shows the elation they have when they don't know what to do after they win.

Santos just took it to another level.

Tecia Torres only 155cm tall, no wonder she's called the Tiny Tornado. :lol:

Living the sneaky foot stomps from tiny tornado

Their weigh-in was adorable, love to see good sports.

Well Weidman just got destroyed.

Yep.
Rockhold was immense and the first person to take Weidman down. Pretty impressive.

I feel McGregor is far too skinny. But here we go. Its been a fucking top card so far.

The stream lyf

It's time.
I have money on Aldo by submission just for the fact its $7+.

Either way I'm hoping for an epic battle.

Holy fuck

Glad it was only $10 haha

wow.

Best ufc ppv in a while. Had a bit of everything

Yep.
I'm not even disappointed with paying for it with the undercards
