I knew this was going to be a short fight as soon as I saw Rousey at the weigh-in. She looked absolutely terrified. Her mental game is completely shattered. She honestly believed she was unbeatable. The Holm loss was the end of her career. Tonight was just a sad exclamation point.
Guarantee it, we'll never hear from her again.

I'm watching the replay
Damn Garbrandt is a trend setter, he actually started wrestling and boxing as a child he's part of what the sport is becoming. Check out guys like Aaron Pico, these are the kids who trained MMA instead of practicing just one sport.

I will say with the amazing fight Cody Garbrandt put on, as well as that classy moment with the kid in the post fight interview; as well as the humbleness he showed in presser have made me a fan. I said it before but I'll say it again. I think he's the next superstar. It was like he took on the mantle of Prime Silva in that fight, against the bantamweight GOAT no less, he's got a good look, and the Team Alpha Male grudge match sells itself. TJ also seems like he learned how to string sentences together so I think they could have something special on their hands. Not Conor status, I don't see anyone reaching that, but he's got to be big after that performance.

He's a national treasure. But yeah Rhonda is still pretty legit and she is a legend despite being a overused buzzword to describe her. But shit I don't think she's going to be a legend like how Ken Shamrock or some of the other earlier pioneers are considered legends for being dominating pioneers only to get dominated when the sport evolved. Plus I don't know Chuck Liddell still has a badass aurora and is still making random cameos playing as one despite losing 5 out of the last 6 fights.

Anyone know who Amanda is fighting next? Raquel Pennington? I would guess the winner of Shevchenko vs. Pena on FOX next month, especially if it's Pena who has been asking for a title shot for a while. I'm picking Shevchenko, only because I think she's gassing

alright it's starting.
Ronda's eyebrows look scary.
It's cool to see Amanda's girlfriend also corner her.
Whoa Ronda touching gloves?
Why is she standing?
That clinch was weak.
And it's done
Whoa she thought the fight was still on.
Yeah this could be the biggest L someone took this year, but fortunately for her there's TNA and CM Punk

He's her striking coach, AKA the one thing Ronda needs the most on paper, and they had over a year to gameplan how Ronda could deal with a striker as that's clearly her Achilles heel. That was the end result. Even worse than last time.

To put my smug hat on a little bit, this was something I always predicted would be the case. Ronda had always had a tendency to take punches while trying to engage the clinch, and when you're going up against one of the hardest hitters in the division it was only going to end in one result, especially against someone who was ring rusty and still IMO not in the ideal frame of mind.
That being said, I am still happy that she took this fight. The Holly loss and her absence left this air of uncertainty around the WBW division, the new breed of fighters like Nunes Shevchenko, Pena and Pennington not getting the credit they deserve due to not doing it against the sport's benchmark. Thanks to last night though a line in the sand was drawn, with the old guard of Rousey, Tate and Carano passing the torch to a new generation of fighter, all with Nunes as an affable and dominant figurehead.
There is going to be short-term grief for Rousey, but when all is said and done time will filter out the negatives and people will appreciate her impact for the sport. People don't remember Royce Gracie as a past-it dinosaur scrambling against Matt Hughes, and the same will happen to Ronda in due course.

Coach don't think Vince can bring her in now Shut up, Coach. The sport show of Pro Wrestling was practically invented so shitty and washed up athletes could continue to make a living when their "real" career in the ring and on the field was over. Before the marks got in the ring (as Jim Cornette would say) the ranks of wrestlers was almost made up exclusively of side show freaks, shitty amateur wrestlers, jocks who peaked in high school, part-time NFL players (they didn't get paid in the off season), and local "tough guys" who got work as bouncers. A battered martial artist would fit right in. If a scrub like Chuck Wepner can box Andre, a formerly dominate UFC champion like Ronda can mess around with Steph and/or a surrogate.
