I was shocked at how the overwhelming majority of comments toward Rousey were negative. With the exception of Rousey fans, feminist and masculine feminist, and the occasional racist, the comments were decidedly in Floyds favor. Wonder if her 15 minutes are almost up.

If more people watched her season as a coach on the ultimate fighter she wouldn't have that many fans, that's when I started disliking her. Right now Rousey is being portrayed as a sweetheart but underneath it all, she's an "uneducated fool" to quote GSP when he was talking about Nick Diaz. I think that she's a soundbite away from being really despised by the public.

Ronda said the editing made her look like a bitch in TUF. I don't think that's the case. Her confidence comes off as bitchy. I'm sure she is cool with her close friends, but outside of that, she doesn't care. I respect what she has done, but I'm not a huge fan.

I think a lot of people see how corny it is for the UFC to try and piggyback off of Mayweather's fame.
I'm an MMA fan with little to interest in boxing, but whenever I see an MMA fighter (who interestingly usually seem to be Dana's favorites) going on about Mayweather I just roll my eyes.

Remember when Chavo was going around backstage calling out Goldberg? That's Ronda now.

Per Dana on SportsCenter, Rousey/Holm moved to Melbourne at UFC 193. Good card gets better.

This feels like a very phony accolade they're trying to give her. They were already likely going to break the record in Melbourne as it was. This just feels like they're trying to give this accolade to Rousey. And now nothing else on the card is going to get promoted at all.

How hard would it be to heal it quickly?

As far Rousey gettng slagged off talking shit about Mayweather has to do with the fact tht hearing MMA fighters talking shit about Mayweather has gotten so old and lame and just comes across as them trying to ride his coattails. Its stupid as Mayweather is to never going to have a MMA fight against either Rhonda or Connor not because is scared of losing but it wouldn't be worth his time.

Yeah it's never gonna happen, why would Floyd risk getting embarrased for life for 400 thousand when he makes more than a 100 million per fight. He already saw what happened to James Toney.

I'm a huge Ronda fan, and I wish she'd stop with the Floyd stuff as I just don't care about it.
Also bummed Condit/Lawler is gettin postponed, that's gonna be good.

If the tickets don't cost a arm and a leg I'm quite keen on crossing the ditch to go to UFC 193 but to be honest I would of much rather seen Condit/Lawler because unless Holm pulls a Matt Serra I seriously doubt it will last half a round.
