She doesn't look outright like a dude with long hair. Which is an accomplishment for women's MMA.

a fight with her and that brunette who has become a actress would be nice i guess

whats so special about ronda, she aint that great looking

Nothing that hasnt been seen before. She needs to prove that she has more tools in her arsenal than just the armbar however she is scared to venture out because she knows she is very weak in other areas and would get knocked out

Hey Ronda, the Cyborg cometh.....

i don't think she scared of striking, but at the same time she doesn't impress me with it, it's something she can work on.

to me it's just that, no one has been able to keep it standing with her. ronda judo is top notch for a female, if she gets a hold of your fukked, PERIOD!

i think cyborg can beat ronda by keeping it standing because she's big and strong. but at the same time, i think cyborg can fade out and get caught by something in the later rounds. i think it's a pick em fight.

i wonder if they can get carano to fight ronda

Her corky personality is what sells her, she's an "average" looking fit chick that can kick ass. After seeing her in a dress on Conan O'Brien she pro'ally needs to avoid that. She looked like her head was photoshopped on a FW males shoulders.



Ronda chin wise can take a punch. She just doesn't react well to getting hit like Brock did



Hopefully Cyborg does a few practice cuts to 135 first because if she comes in drained Ronda might actually be able to hem her up too and man o man. I like Ronda but she will need to be muted for a while if she taps cyborg

That is why she wants her to come down to 135. This fight will happen at 140.

From Cyborg

The statement, which was sent to MMA Prime’s Aaron Tru, can be seen below, complete with all of the original spelling mistakes the translator left in:

“I get many questions about Rhonda Rousey, and I would like to set the record straight for the last time, as I do not consider her much personally, much less as a fighter.

She claims she is the “Champion” and openly challenges me to fight at 135lbs. (She competed in the Beijing Olympics at 70kg/154lbs, and fought at 145lbs in MMA till she learned she would have to fight me, and then dropped to 135lbs.) Which I find laughable. I have never fought below 145lbs, and I am considered the pound for pond top women fighter in the WORLD! I have yet to lose a fight while holding the Strike Force 145lbs title. My last fight was considered a no contest, but that has NOT changed the fact that I AM the women’s 145lbs CHAMPION.”

“There really is NOT a safe way for me to cut to 135lbs, not without hurting myself physically. (I am less than 8% body fat at 145lbs.) And my cardiologist and physician have advised me that to make such a drastic reduction in weight could have permanent effects in my long term health. And I will not endanger my health to satisfy the rantings of a spoiled little girl who has yet to prove that she can truly compete at the my level, at a weight she has not only fought at before but has been awarded an Olympic medal!

So to put this issue to rest, if Rhonda is the future of WMMA, and is the “Champion” that she envisions….you know where I am, and I am more than willing to give you an opportunity to test me. I WILL fight you at 145lbs, (you know…the weight that you started at), and then you can have 2 belts, and prove to everyone that you are indeed a “Champion”.

If not, stay at 135lbs and continue to delude yourself and your fans that you can beat me. Your really not worth my time otherwise. I will do all of my talking in the ring, until then your really not worth my breath.”

[The G.O.D II]

There's a good 5-6 women who could make up a division. How many fighters are in this flyweight division?

Not sure how many UFC has under contract, but there are a lot fighting outside the company they can scoop up.

Some gifs from one of the best fights of the year, Julie Kedzie taking it to Miesha Tate

I think Dana will ejaculate all over himself if that fight ever happens. Gina fights at 145 and like Cyborg has trouble making that weight so if Ronda doesn't want to fight Cyborg at that weight i doubt she will go up to fight Gina

IMO Ronda is scared of standing and banging because she isnt good at it, yeah she can train and work on it, (she went to Stockton to train with Nicks boxing coach) but imo she wont risk it and will always use her one trick. Miesha was exposing the flaws in Ronda's arsenal and unfortunately made a mistake and got got. Cyborg is bigger and stronger than Tate and more than likely punches harder

Look at what she does to Tito-
Fast forward to 2.29




this is what is going to happen to Ronda when she goes for the armbar

Sara Kaufman did the exact same thing to Roxanne so i am surprised she gave up so soon with Ronda
