Dr. Do Itch Big Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I'm taking Macida, big fan of both. ---------- Post added February-23rd-2013 at 08:25 PM ---------- Machida looks like a 185er Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachie Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Hendo is keeping the pressure on. Edit- At the end of that round we saw how quickly Machida could possibly end it. Edited February 24, 2013 by Chachie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) I scored the fight 30-27 for Machida. Machida didn't fall for any of Hendo's leg kicks to setup the H-bomb. He was circling away at any sign of that thing coming. Hendo barely landed at all. Well played by Machida. There were a few moments where I thought Machida was moving away so much, that he could possibly give away the rounds. Ended up giving him every round anyway.

Destino Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Rousey survived a nasty attempt to smash her face. That **** looked painful. Edit: Rousey arm bar specialist does it again. Good lord. I bet you either of those two girls could take on a typical bar bouncer and beat his ass. Edited February 24, 2013 by Destino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 For a split second I was concerned about Ronda's neck. That neck crank looked painful as ****. Good job Ronda, good fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

styx491 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Rousey/Liz will most likely get FOTN now over Bermudez/Grice, maybe well deserved too for history's sake, it was very exiting and entertaining.

#98QBKiller Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Didn't see Ronda tap, but can't rewind...can anyone confirm? Looked clean to me, either way that was a great fight and she's a badass *****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 When you say "sherdog" said. Do you mean the Sherdog staff or the sherdog msg boards, cause lets face it, their msgboards are purely for the LULZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor703 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Not if Ronda can grab her. There is absolutely no chance she man-handles Cyborg or gets her in that position. Cyborg is an well-rounded fighter with devastating stand up, Rousey is an one-trick pony. The fight would be a complete beat down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Not sure why everyone things Cyborg would demolish her. Cyborg for how much of a "beast" she has looked like in some of her fights, hasn't exactly displayed out of this world technique or skills. She has usually just overpowered her opponents and smothered them with volume punching. Again, Gina Carano had her mounted, which usually would spell the end, but Carano just stood up for no reason and let her out of it. I don't think Cyborg couldn't win, but I don't think she would steamroll by any means. Edited February 24, 2013 by NoCalMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, who knows how Cyborg fights without roids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Cyborg (without steroids) isn't "demolishing" an Olympic-medal-caliber judoka with even basic standup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Again, no one is claiming Rousey would man-handle Cyborg either. It just seems to be the Rousey hater brigade that feels Cyborg would steam roll her. Most of the fighters Cyborg has steam-rolled were 135 lb fighters who moved to 145 just for the Cyborg fight because Cyborg needed an opponent. And assuming Cyborg was roiding up to even be a 145 lb fighter, it is not beyond reason to call shenanigans on some of those results. Technique beats raw strength nine times out of ten. Tonight went a long way into showing Rousey is not just a one tick pony. Before tonight, you could make that case because most of her opponents could not stop her takedowns or technique from the get-go. Carmouche being the strong wrestler was actually able to hold her own, and get Rousey in some bad spots there for a bit, and then even hold off the Arm bar for a decent amount of time. It shows that Rousey is improving as an MMA fighter rather then just a Judo champion who is taking on women who have no frame of reference as to what they are up against. I was very interested to see how Rousey would handle her first adversity in a fight, and it's hard to claim she didn't pass with flying colors. ---------- Post added February-24th-2013 at 06:12 AM ---------- Liz is saying backstage that Ronda bit her during the neck crank to get out of it. Ronda is saying the crank was across her mouth forcing her mouth piece out. UFC Post-fight presser should be starting soon. CONTROVERSY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 If a neck crank is across your mouth and your mouth guard is out, then the person applying the crank is forcing the bite on their own forearm. I haven't seen a replay though so I can't say anything for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
