I know I am one of very few that actually enjoys female MMA. But US Olympic Judo bronze medalist, Ronda Rousey is just fun to watch. The fact that she's got Judo Gene Labelle in her camp is also pretty cool. And last night she locked on the ugliest armbar since Mir-Sylvia. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AsALXW6Mq4k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Julia Budd is a tough girl. I've seen plenty of men screaming in pain when their elbows looked like that. I'm guessing she has elbows that can naturally hyperextend, but Rousey got them passed that point. Rousey is pretty, but not hot, when she's corn-rowed up to fight. She is hot when that hair comes down. I'm not sure if people have just gotten better at defending or if fighters just aren't as adept at arm bars, but it seems like there are fewer fighters who can hit that move constantly. Rousey can obviously hit it constantly. Heel hookers are even fewer and farther between, but they've never been as prevalent. I assume some of it must be that wrestlers are just able to pick up guillotine, rear naked, and arm triangle chokes easier at a high level.
