    Congratulating Holm privately isn't any less classy than doing publicly.

    Yeah, I had to do a double take to see who he was talking about.

    You picked Holm. You've been critical of Ronda's training. You pulled for Meisha Tate. Yet now you're loyal to Rousey.

    yeah and im just saying MAYBE she did. Maybe she didnt. But assuming either or and labeling her something without any knowledge isnt fair IMO.

    I don't know either, but the fact that Ronda stood in the middle of the cage while Herb Dean raised Holm's hand took a shitload of courage and humility by Rousey. I've seen many fighters leave the cage before the official decision in cases like that.

    She looked like a naughty kid at the headmistress's (Holm's) office.

    He's been defending Rousey all thread. Whether he picked Holm or not is irrelevant.

    Mayweather Snr had Picked Oscar to beat his son....but don't doubt for one second where his loyalty lay.....

    I defend her against unfair attacks. I have attacked rousey more than anyone in the forum, for over a year. With more sound reasoning then you are.

    REED Couldn't Care Less If Ronda's Acknowledged Holly, but the FACT Ronda's YET to Grant an Interview OR Soooooo Much as MENTION the Fight Itself, Speaks to How DIFFICULT it Still Must Be for Her to Accept...Not to Mention the PATHETIC Site Ronda Displayed, in the Airport the Other Day...

    Hoodied Up, Head Drooping, Face BURIED in a Pillow...She Exhibited the Body Language of a RAPE Victim, Honestly...

    As REED has Stated Many Times Already, he has No Doubt Ronda Will 1nce Again Be an ELITE Level Female MMAist, but REED is of the Belief Ronda ALREADY has an Insurmountable MENTAL Block, in Regards to Holly Holm, that will PREVENT Ronda from EVER Beating Her...Tyson-Holyfield, Roy-Tarver (Even Though Roy BEAT Tarver Close the 1st Time) Type of Shit...

    Nicely done.

    Holly Holm is a better fighter and should win a rematch just as easily...but the random nature of MMA means that Rousey can just as easily find a way to submit her this time...assuming she survives the strikes on the way in. It's almost impossible to predict the outcome of a UFC fight.

    MMA is harder to predict because of the variety of fighting styles. Holly Holm was the better fighter last weekend, no doubt. Will she be as dominant a champion as Ronda was? Maybe, maybe not. She fought the perfect fight last weekend and she deserves to be the champion right now.

    Tarver was the first guy, the only guy at the time who had a competitive fight with RJJ. Roy finally started to get "old" as a fighter, where his speed, reflexes, and unorthodox style weren't enough to beat his opponent. He was never the same after the 2nd Tarver fight.

    Ronda is young, so you never know. This could end up like a GSP / Serra fight in MMA history.

    That's because she basically got raped by Holm.

    I think it's smart. Don't show your fucked up face. Mma fans are brutal with memes and shit. Stay away until your face heels and then resurface.

    i wouldn't say it's almost impossible. I have made serious money betting on it. But the fact that on any given night anyone can be beat is very appealing to mma fans. But boxing could be like that too if boxers couldn't pick their next opponents.

    I don't think Conor will be the next big thing, but he's certainly a candidate. Bones was already and is the top pick to be it next.

    Holly Holm is getting her butt licked too much. She is what Gustafson is--an excellent fighter who matched up well with the best fighter in the division. Neither figures to be a dominant champ.

    Nah Man,

    Ronda Fancied Herself a WARRIOR...A Badass, Outwardly AGGRESSIVE, Unapologetic BITCH...Even in Defeat, She Should BE That...Rock Your Shades & Walk Thru the Airport w/Your Head Held HIGH...MotherFUCK Fans &/or Memes...Instead, Ronda Looked like a Child, Who had JUST Been Reunited w/Her Family, After Being "Tampered" w/by a PEDOPHILE...

    REED Can't Recall a Fighter EVER Looking More MEEK, More WEAK...Especially a Certified ALPHA Like Ronda Rousey....

    Personally I agree. But business wise I disagree. This girl is getting hammered unlike anything I have ever seen. I say businesswise, just stay back until it's all clear. Remember, we don't know how bad her face is. She could be looking like Martin after the tommy hearns fight and shit

    The numbers don't lie. And Connor is revolutioning the fighters pay in mma too.

    Yeah, he is bigger and with regards to the pay, he is demanding money no others are demanding and negotiating money from the gate. Something no fighter in ufc has done yet.

    In the Scheme of Things, Even ANTI-Rousey Meme's AREN'T Bad for Business, in REED's Opinion...What's Important is, NOBODY is Indifferent about Her...

    But The Loooooooooooooooooonger it Takes to Show Her Face and Speak @ LENGTH about the Fight, the WEAKER Ronda Looks, Mentally...

    Not Only Did Holm WHIP Rousey's Ass, but Now She's Even Stepping Up DEFENDING Ronda, in the Midst of the Outpouring of NEGATIVITY...Step Up, Put Your Big Girl Panties On and "Defend" YOURSELF, Ronda...

    As much as it pains me, I've got to agree. Right now Rousey is letting the Holm fight define her as a fighter and a person.

    She could have actually curbed some of the backlash by embracing the beat down. She could have posted pictures of her busted up lip and tapped into the whole warrior chick angle. She could have posted about getting humbled and the motivation it will create.

    I think that tact would have swayed some of the haters and earned a shade of respect from diehard fans. It would have gone a long way toward making me a fan.

    McGregor is easily the biggest draw of any fighter on the UFC roster and it's not even a close race. The dude did over 800k buys against a last minute opponent in Mendes. Aldo-McGregor will shatter that mark.

    Even if Jones-Cormier 2 was next week, they don't pull down McGregor-Aldo numbers.

    That being said, McGregor will be penniless just days after his first loss. :)

    It might just be the extreme contrast to Holms perfect footwork but at times it looked as if she was just knock kneeing around. It looked ploddy like Odlanier Solis against Vitali Klitschko. And how the fuck can she look so fucking cut at weigh-ins and so pudding like in fights. I have never seen anything like this in an octagon or a ring.

    Maybe so, but we need to really think about this. This girl is currently in a crisis and not just cause she lost but how she lost. Her mom and many others told her about Edmond. She is probably going through a whole camp and family intervention. I guess we all have opinions on it, but who knows what is really going on
