That athleticism.

This and that headlock takedown shown in one of the embedded really showed the gap between the two before the fight even started

If only I had seen this gif before the fight, I would've put the whole house on Rhonda. HAHAHAHA

Anyone else think that Rhonda can get tagged against any girl with a big punch? Rhonda's overconfident in her striking. When she comes in, she's slow and has so many holes that someone like Cyborg can tag her up. If Rhonda gets the clinch, it's over though. There's absolutely no girl that can front on Rhonda once her clinch is in. But in the fights that she stands up and strikes, she's wide open.

If Rhonda ever fights Cyborg or any girl with good hands, her camp better be smart enough to tell her to don't bother trying to strike against her and just clinch the bytch.

There haven't been many fights where she hasn't gotten tag in the UFC.

Sitting here today the plan against Cyborg has to be to test her gas tank. If this is Cyborg's first go at 135 and she can't re-hydrate via IV

Ain't really too many girls with hands. Evil eye has ok boxing but no power. Miesha showed she has a chin but I feel Ronda would rush her into a clinch. Holm is with her striking. She doesn't even have to be an mma fighter she can literally go into the octagon and just box these soccer moms but she rather do sht she has no ability in. that gif @The Infamous put up of Beth made me she definitely look like she didn't have all her brain cells. I honestly do not understand why they can't fight at a catch weight. Cyborg and Ronda. Even if cyborg beats her she can't stay at 135 so what is the point in that?

Most female BW have shyt boxing, I've only seen Meisha tag her so it can be done. The main problem is her size and keeping her from using her size in the clinch.

Rener complaining about Paul Harris. Your grandfather would drag people out of a car and beat the s-hit out of them for disrespect. Post that on your Instagram.

I don't see the problem with Vitor/Hendo III. Neither guy is going to make a run at the belt, but they both can still put on interesting fights.

I'm expecting a classic between them.

It's just too soon, imo. Vitor/Machida is more intriguing. And I would have rather seen Hendo fight Anderson.

I do know Hendo wanted that rematch ever since the TRT ban. Vitor still beats him again though, and I'm surprised he took this fight cause he doesn't really have much to gain.

Then her drawing power is killed. She will have the lose over her head and if cyborg isn't coming to her class what's the point? And then what would cyborg do if she wins? Go back to invicta and can crush? Too much of a risk/lose-lose for everyone.

"They [Diaz Brothers] ran from me three times. We'll see what will happen next. I've already asked for a fight with him [Nate] from the UFC bosses, but judging by the speed that Diaz ran, it is hard to believe that the fight will take place."

Khabib needs to chill, didn't he just get his knee repaired recently?

im gonna have to disagree with that. even after her 2 lackluster performances, i still think holm has the style to give ronda problems and even beat her. she hasn't lived up to the hype which i think is probably a good thing for her. im pretty sure her team don't want ronda now. let's face it, she's a winklejohn project . she even admitted after her last fight, she not looking to be in a fotn or take any punishment. we might be looking at the female version of john fitch who just grinds out boring ass decisions using her standup.

at the same time, she needs more improvement on her grappling. it aint something you can learn over night, we've seen holly on her back once and she looked like a fish out of water. i went back and watched her last fight, and its obvious she wants no part of grappling with anyone.
