The way UFC promoted what they expected to be her comeback fight against Nunes made the 2nd loss even more embarrassing.

Funny thing is she ate it up too much, and she's actually probably one of the better female MMA fighters as Holmes has been hit-or-miss since beating her.

Rousey has beaten the fighter that choked out Holm and the fighter that last stopped the dike chick that she lost to by knockout
that don't mean sh1t you dullard...fighting doesn't work like that...

joe frazier beat ali who knocked out george foreman...

did that mean joe frazier would beat george foreman? :martin: no, george foreman lifted joe frazier out his boots off the ground and mopped him up.

I disagree.....

Yeah Connor will get washed by Floyd but in MMA he is the real deal.

It's a win/win for him. He will get an ass whooping & make more Sat than his entire MMA career so far. Plus he will be back in UFC for another huge payday.

Rousey on the other hand was a hype machine in a underdeveloped realm that caught up to her very fast.

I actually think Conor becomes a bigger star after the Floyd fight. UFC can always use the narrative that Conor wasn't competing in his own sport

you're both wrong

both conor and dana are cashing out on conor's stardom this saturday (dana more so this december)

his megastardom only exists out of white peoples need to see floyd be humbled and their feeling that conor's able to do it

its manny all over again...shiiiiiit its ronda 2.0. how man times do you fools need to see the same sh1t play out over and over again. seriously, how do you people keep falling for the same okie doke? :heh:

conor's megastardom dies instantly on saturday night

his superstardom slowly starts dying down UNLESS he continues to dominate the UFC (which is does barely anyway)



long story short, conor's done come 2018 and good for him, cos he'll have somewhere around 100 milli to show for himself which is better than 95% of any type of combat athlete can say for themselves

That's exactly I'll fighting works. You have to fight everyone to know your worth.

All I stated were facts. Now, could she repeat her wins vs Holm and the other chick who stopped Nunes we cannot say. Confidence is a bug reason fighters win. Her problem iabahe fell in love with the stand up fame which is not her element. Her judo is what gave her 99% of her wins...then she decides to stand. And she did it twice

Did anyone in the history of sports have a quicker falloff from grace and receive more L's in such a short amount of time?? It literally felt like this:

Monday- Rhonda got next
Tuesday- She the best there is in female MMA
Wednesday- Oh shyt she got knocked the fukk out. It was one time tho, she got cocky and lax. She'll be back even stronger
Thursday- Oh snap she done got knocked the fukk out again?!?! shyts over
Friday- Floyd parties the weekend away
Jeremy Lin had a quicker fall from grace.

He didn't take NEARLY as any Ls though.

To be fair she put women's mma on the map from a marketability standpoint. Being the first awarded her all of the perks of being a "pioneer".

But she never faced a formidable opponent until Holm. She was also sheltered from the best possible fighters.
Didn't ronda beat the two girls that just beat Holmes and the Spanish chick
