I've said it before and I'll say it again. WMMA is where MMA was @ during the mid to late 90's. You got contenders that excell in the martial art they competed in, but suck in other aspects of the game. Look at Jedrzecszyk (sp.) vs. Esparza a while ago. Esparza had obviously never been hit like that in her life. WMMA still has alot of growing to do.

Ronda has blown up to something she wasn't; the postergirl of WMMA. They marketed her as a star, just like they tried to do with Brock (I also spoke on that in this thread). Her standup has never been good. That's why she had been ducking Cyborg. Holly exposed what us real cracks already knew. Great executed gameplan and nice KO finish. Ronda didn't stand a chance. I hope Aldo knocks Conor out when they fight. These people market these white MMA fighters because the general public can identify with them. I get that, but I could do without the WWF sh*t that comes with it. Glad Ronda got KTFO and TBH the way she's been handled doesn't really warrant a rematch IMO.

That's a great point. they are marketing her like she's brock lesnar.

When brock started losing, he went straight back to wwe.

I wonder if ronda loses again, would she retire like brock and gina?

Was kinda disappointed when Gina tucked tail and ran after her loss I thought she coulda came back for a rematch ...
 
Assuming she would spare with him Mayweather would have her confused as hell boxing as sloppy as she is with those paws.

Gina was the first ronda, just a hell of alot more personable.

She is as one dimensional as Rousey, and was exposed as a can crusher.

Indeed but I thought she still could a at least tried to avenge the loss

And funny they didn't even speak on the Ronda ko on first take today I was sure they would be all over it they were all over it when she was dispatching ppl with the quickness

Broad became a victim of her own mind. Floyd should wear a T-shirt with Holly Holm's face on it the next time he does an interview.

What Weidman, and every other truly great offensive fighter has been able to do is cut off the ring. This means that when the opponent steps to your right, you step with your right foot to make sure you're still crowding them and vice versa. Stepping straight in is a commitment of the weight to an attack and just gives the opponent the opportunity to get away. Norman Mailer called it 'a balletic art' and it's true that there is a great deal more subtlety and grace to offensive footwork than the casual observer would imagine. For instance, notice here that while Lyoto Machida is doing exactly what the outfighter should do to get off the cage—changing direction and attempting to fake Weidman into committing to one side—it is Machida who is tiring himself out, doing all the extra work, while Weidman is just making small movements to keep The Dragon in front of him.
