DogofWar1 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 TJ looked great. That last exchange was fun to watch, but it was so clear Barao was just done. Looks like it's time for Rousey v. Tate 3. Assuming Rousey wins next Saturday, that is. Of course, I imagine the bigger threat to Rousey is Cyborg throwing some jeer from the sidelines and Rousey doing something that gets her in trouble than Correia. She can't take Bethe for granted, certainly, but I don't think that'll be an issue after Bethe's boneheaded suicide comment. Rousey is build to destroy people at 135, and you just pissed her off. If I were a betting man, I'd skip betting on who wins, and rather bet on whether Rousey just snaps Correia's arm like a twig before she can tap. Shame Eye couldn't pull it off, would have been nice to get Correia, Eye, Zingano 2, and THEN Tate 3, in that order, instead of Tate 3 this early, but at the same time, Tate is the only one at 135 who's lasted more than 1 round. If she can get us a PPV fight that lasts more seconds than dollars spent to see it, it'll be worth it, even if she loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor703 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Why do we need to see Rousey-Tate 3? Just put her against Cyborg and get it over with. There isn't anyone left besides Cyborg who can challenge her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing. People should know by now, that a Rousey fight is not worrth paying any money for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) That's the thing. People should know by now, that a Rousey fight is not worrth paying any money for. unless its a stacked card, I'm not paying to see her fight anyone not named Cyborg. UFC 190 is Fight Night Level best fight on the card is Aguilar/Gadehla, which should give us the next challenger to Lady Joanna. I love everything about Lady Joanna, but people forget how razor thin her fight with Gadehla was. Edited July 26, 2015 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't anyone left besides Cyborg who can challenge her. Well, she was 144.6 for Invicta FC 13, so Cyborg needs to drop 10 pounds still. And she probably can't. She juiced to her eyeballs for years until 2011. She's 145 when she loses all the weight she possibly can. Not to mention, in her previous agreements (which she back out of) Cyborg said she'd fight through 2 and then 1 contender before fighting Rousey. Now Tate v. Cyborg and Zingano v. Cyborg would be really good fights too. Would love those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor703 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Because anything but Cyborg vs Rousey is a waste of time. Nobody else has a chance of beating her. The UFC can try and sell these silly fights all they want but she is so much better than any of the other fighters that trying to sell it is a joke.

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Dillashaw will win I think. Stylistic matchup reminds me of Cain vs. Dos Santos. RD 4 TKO. Time to toot the ole horn. Pigs will start to fly now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UFC can try and sell these silly fights all they want but she is so much better than any of the other fighters that trying to sell it is a joke. More than likely, true that. One exception might be Zingano 2. The first one was weird with how Zingano rushed in. Not that it'll likely make much of a difference if she takes things slower. Holly Holm will probably end up fighting Rousey soon, that poor lady. She's had 2 UFC fights (Correia has 3) and is undefeated in her MMA career (against cans, but still undefeated, exactly like Correia). But yeah, we're gonna have to wait a while for Cyborg, IF Cyborg ever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) As for dream matchups that require a change in weight, and that may not ever happen - I would love to see Dillashaw & McGregor in a striking frenzy Edited July 26, 2015 by Malapropismic Depository 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 As for dream matchups that require a change in weight, and that may not ever happen - I would love to see Dillashaw & McGregor in a striking frenzy Another thought. Barao hit TJ clean few times and TJ showed a good chin. It makes me wonder how hard John Dodson hits. He cracked Dillashaw and followed up fast enough to get the ref to step in.

StillUnknown Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Rousey is as high as -1700 on some books, that would make her the largest favorite in UFC history if it stays that high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malapropismic Depository Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Then again, it's coming from Rogan, Mister Hype Train, himself. I agree of course, that Rousey will demolish Correia, but now they're just reaching at every desperate attempt to get people to buy the fight. As if it wasn't enough to hype up the fight, by having Ronda promise it won't last 14 seconds this time, but that she'll prolong it several rounds of punishment, lol Edited July 28, 2015 by Malapropismic Depository Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 She looks especially yolked relative to how she usually looks. Has a good pump there, looking like a fairly strong man in a lot of ways. Could be the angle, lighting, muscle pump combined, but I can see what he's talking about. Maybe I'm just smoking the same weed strain as Rogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Damn, Shields vs. Harris may be the lone Shields matchup that ever interests me. Can he avoid the leg disintegrator? Will Harris pack it in if he doesn't break Shield's leg off and eat it within 3 attempts? I think Shields will end up mounting a dejected Harris by the 2nd round, and the ref will stop it due to Shield's lack of punching power being too embarrassing to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
