Just checked my YouTube feed. There's a bunch of UFC 207 vids and every one of them has Nunes with that lion mask close by. Someone needs to let her know that it's horse mask levels of goofy shit.

Edit: actually don't. It's hilarious and should continue.

...or that female lions generally don't have manes.
 
Did I really see someone in here trying to tell me that Floyd Mayweather bench presses 270 pounds

cause uh

Edit: Apparently he can bench 300 and welp I feel dumb

The "Please!" made me cave, I couldn't stop laughing.
Great coaching champ.

the UFC approached her at the end of the press conference to tell her that the lions mask should no longer cover the belt or obstruct the company logo from now on.
 

Rest

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
I delayed my stream so I don't have deal with buffering. But holy shit, I would not have guessed this fighter was 42!
42? She looks like she's 23!
Also she's way to pretty to be making a living getting punched in the face.

Its like being in an alternate universe where Street Fighter V was an Xbone exclusive with Kinect Voice support.

Just a reminder of what Edmond thinks of himself, he deserves to be torn down:

I still can't believe that asshole has a picture of himself up on the wall of his own gym. If I saw that someplace I'd never train there.

Put your idols on the wall. Put your teacher on the wall. Put your mantra on the wall. Put your logo on the wall. Not you.

I'm sure this has been said literally a billion times already, but her camp is so fucking atrocious. Even now I think it's too late to switch it up and catch up with all the elite female strikers that now know the blueprint to just murk Ronda.

Goddamn I feel bad for her. I was rooting for Nunes, but I I still don't want Ronda to go out like that. She deserves a better ending to her career.
 
Couldn't ronda just fight a tune up match and then go after another big fight?

Your aura of invincibility is gone with one punch. Its a big factor in combat sports in terms of general interest. Ronda got bingo'd and basically made fun of.

Combat sport purists knew she never had good hands and stylistically got matched up perfectly during her UFC rise. She will never beat Holm or Nunes.

People saying Ronda could beat Floyd Mayweather in a fight are as delusional as the people who think Serena Williams can defeat a man in the top 50 or the US women national soccer team being able to match well against a male NT.

Come on, Mayweather is one of the best boxers of this generation, he has over 20 pounds on Rousey and he is way way way stronger than her. Like seriously, is like saying Cris cyborg can defeat Triple G in a fight.

I think it's apt that she has a lion motif, seeing as how Ronda got mauled by the ghost and just now the darkness.

I'll be here all year.

Garbrandt with the performance of his fucking life. A really impressive fight. Did not expect that, did not know he was capable of this. Kudos.

Anyone saw that match and felt bad for Rhonda. . . something I thought I never would.

Watching a petulant child completely humiliated, outclassed and destroyed. Embarrassing.

TJ Dillashaw also deserves a mention. Completely stuffed Lineker, who has dangerous power. Good stuff.

With Tate retired, Rousey exposed and Holm fighting in a different weight class, I wonder who's still left to challenge Nunes at bantamweight? Probably the winner of Shevchenko vs Pena.

I feel slightly bad for laughing but the "No!" gets me every time.

At this point Ronda is the tune up fight before a big match. It could be a good thing though, UFC like boxing could use some big named tomato cans to fill up an undercard.

I don't know the terms of her contract but it has to be expensive to pay Ronda for undercard fight. I hope UFC had put in some clauses in there to pay her less for non main event fights or even non ppv fights.

Ronda should have listened to her coach.

What if the real truth, is that Ronda is uncoachable?
It really is quite simple. She has an amazing judo skill set, which by its self, is meaningless in MMA, no one has succeeded in MMA with Judo alone. She benefited greatly from being the first through the wall, she was fighting tin cans in casinos at the start of her career and her fame and money actually ended up being her downfall as women with well-rounded MMA skillsets started getting into it more and turning pro. The end result - she got exposed by people more talented than her.

Why do people hate on Rousey? I thought she was well liked; her reddit AMA seemed pretty sincere to me.
She has a bad attitude and is very full of herself. She talks shit to her opponents, doesn't touch gloves, has a ridiculous pre fight stare and has turned down handshakes after fights. She has come off as arrogant to fans, disrespects the MMA media and is generally viewed as a pretty face that was marketed by UFC for her looks, not her skill. MMA fans realize she is very limited in her skills and benefited greatly from not being exposed in long fights with people with some actual talent because women's MMA wasn't even a thing until very recently (and ironically, as a result of Ronda's huge marketing push).

That's all not great, but not why I dislike her. What ticks me off is the fact that she is a domestic abuser and sandy hook truther.
