Hopefully Pettis is okay and the fight is good to go for early 2013. Looks like we missing out on a potential fight of the year brehs :to:

It appears Ronda Rousey has helped push UFC president Dana White into a believer. Rousey, who has seen her popularity skyrocket in recent months, is the current Strikeforce bantamweight champion.
White has been against adding women to the UFC because of a lack of depth in terms of talent. However, that appears to be changing.

"It's absolutely going to happen," said White, of a women's division being added to the UFC, in an interview with Sports Illustrated.

White added that no time frame is set, but did say Rousey's inclusion to the UFC "could happen tomorrow, it could happen a year from now." He added, "The point is I'm committed to this."

Rousey and former champion Cris Cyborg have engaged in a verbal feud since "Rowdy" finished off Sarah Kaufman earlier this year. Cyborg is currently suspended until 2013.

According to Duke Roufus [Pettis' coach], Pettis is not out of a potential fight with Cerrone. :whew:

not being able to make any dream fight involving A silva kind of has me rolling my eyes over this.Its nice that this bs article will put the idea out there and stop ppl from feelin bad for females if SF were to close up shop.But this just doesnt make sense, how could RR make him a believer in WMMA, when his reservations stemmed from lack of depth not star power :why:

I would love to see The Spider vs. GSP, so one of them can lay claim to being the most dominant fighter from their era.

The Fertitty brothers need to realize soon that Dana and his mouth will ruin their company

They're losing credibility fast and his bytching and favoritism isn't helping one bit. Bellator moving to spike is going to level the playing field a bit too.. Well start too anyway imo

If I didnt know better I would assume Baldilocks is smashing Ronda because this love for her and all things WMMA is a bit OTT
