Why do I have this funny feeling, Cat has had the injury all along and has/ could fight with it, but the UFC, wanting ratings, told her to 'take care of that' (prolly gave her 200k and a promise at a shot after the season) in order to get this thing rolling.

something is off....

Oh, according to Rousey



:stopitslime:








So who does Liz Carmouche fight now?- seriously this broad is constantly getting the short end of the stick

Its very obvious that Tate vs Rousey is what Dana wanted all along, Ronda and her friend belittling and bullying Miesha for ratings -
what little friend? :dwillhuh:
Lets hope Tate aka the female Chael Sonnen does the right thing and brings in Cris as a guest/assistant coach- Not many people like her or Caraway so her picks are rather slim at the moment.
:what: where are u getting this info from? and what would she need to bring in cris in for if for no other reason than to confirm the fact she knows she cant beat ronda herself but would like to see rousey pick on someone her own size? its all moot anyway cuz that move doesnt happen without ufc's approval and they aint about to forrest griffin ronda.....yet.
I would love to see Ronda get smart with CyGoat
:what: at what though :why: they dont do those team activities no more and if there was som coach vs coach duel for fun why would tate stand aside and let cris take her spot? hell why would zuffa put ronda in a situation to come out 2nd to cris in anything? :why:

More evidence that Rousey vs Tate is a fix- Sarah Kaufmann posted this on the UG...oooh the shade she threw at the end..
Sarah Kaufman -
Firstly, I feel terribly for Cat.

Secondly, it's insane that Miesha gets a title shot off of a KO loss. I'm ranked ABOVE Miesha on the UFC rankings and didn't even get a call. Now, I get that I haven't yet had a win/fight in the UFC so likely that has something to do with it. I also get that they will sh##talk each other for 6 weeks straight. I just would have liked to see them push Sara McMann as she has a win in the UFC as well as being an undefeated Olympian, or even Alexis Davis as she has won her last few in a row.

Just my .02



I agree that there will definitely be some ratings spikes with these 2. I'm aware that if I were to talk some smack I'd likely get more attention...it's honestly just really hard for me to do as I don't believe what I'm saying lol. When you do hear some smack from me it will be my honest opinion!

I'm just going to win my way to the Title!
She needs to tweet at mccmann and get a clue cuz olympian or not she doest want that shot yet.And as for mentioning davis :scusthov:

Yea it's a head scratcher. I get that Ronda and Tate don't like each other which could be fun for some on screen foolishness but Tate has lost in definitive fashion twice now, what do you show for highlights her getting subbed or TKO'ed :laugh:

Reports are saying Anderson may have fractured a rib. His camp and Dana are denying but that doesn't mean jack shyt.

I tend to go more with where there's smoke there's fire. :(

What's happening with this?

I'm sure Weidman's dumbass will say Anderson is scared.

Why do people take Weidman's trash talking so seriously? It's pretty obvious that he has tons of respect for Anderson and is just getting his name out there and hyping up the fight.

Nothing yet. As mentioned, Dana and Anderson's camp are denying the rumors, which is a positive. But you never know, Dan Henderson's camp was also denying any injury before the Bones fight. I have a feeling something did happen, hopefully it's nothing too serious. Anderson/Weidman is looking to be an excellent fight.

Fight of the year by far. This fight is a toss-up, I'm slightly favoring Aldo. You could easily make an argument for Pettis winning as well.

Interesting- UFC are trying to give Urijah an "easy" fight but Nick is a tough SOB, Urijah has already been exposed as having no ground game, Nick just needs to take him down and smother him for 3 rounds

This broad is so disrespectful- I really hope Miesha pulls an upset....The moment Ronda loses, Dana will also lose interest
A side effect to Miesha Tate being chose as a replacement for the injured Cat Zingano on TUF 18, is that her boyfriend and fellow UFC fighter Brian Caraway would likely be on set as an assistant coach. Caraway and opposing coach Ronda Rousey have a history of verbal attacks in the media and there's is still no love loss between the two:

"Miesha by herself isn't that bad," Rousey said. "Miesha in combination with her pet boyfriend, Mr. Tate, is frickin' something else. She's different when he's around. I can't stand him. I really feel like if she wasn't with him, she would fight better and she would be a better person.

"He's always glued to her hip, because if he's not next to her, no one ever notices him."

Rousey paid close attention to Caraway's recent controversial comments about marijuana. Pat Healy tested positive for pot at UFC 159, prompting the UFC to strip him of $130,000 in bonuses – and instead give a $65,000 "Submission of the Night" bonus to Caraway, who fought on the same card.

Caraway initially said he hated marijuana, which prompted sometime Rousey training partner Nate Diaz to call the fighter a derogatory slur for homosexuals. Rousey called Diaz's comment "a poor choice of words at the worst possible time."

Later, Caraway softened his stance to say that his comments were informed by past negative experiences with the drug. Rousey was none too impressed.

"He's a little f---king tool, and it sounds like the kind of thing he would have to say," she said. "He hates on something he knows nothing about. If he did any of his research, he could give an intelligent answer. But honestly, he hasn't, so he can't."

Ring tends to gas hard mid-way into all his fights. If Uriah can maintain his cardio until the middle of the second, Nick should be open to some punishment.

I don't see a problem with what she said :manny:

What is there to be humble about in that situation? This isn't the first we have heard about this regarding Tate and her BF.

Why is so concerned about them though? She said she would whoop his behind, - when he retaliated, it was a big deal. I am inclined to believe she may have a crush on Bryan

The humbling part is regarding her constant need to bash others but cant take it when someone goes in on her-
