UFC needs to bring back PRIDE walkouts just so Rousey can be carried to the cage on a throne.

Three round beating? He didnt really get hit that much except for the exchange where he got split open, and he gave Weidman a swollen eye, too.

Weidman oppressed him for 3 rounds. Weidman got wobbled in the 3rd and the 4th but Lyoto didn't capitalize. By the 5th both guys looked ready to fall over and they still went at it.

Since the Nick Newell beating didn't deliver the outcry I figured it would I do morbidly wonder if we could get away with such a thing. The only match I would approve of would be Rousey/Caraway though.

Unfortunately, there's no precedent in combat sports or field sports for intergender competition. It'd have to be a hellacious sell.

So Ronda vs Brock Lesnar

I don't think Ronda will ever assume anything except that she's going to kick her opponent's rear end in every single area. She may gameplan that she's going to preferentially go for the takedown or preferentially go for standup depending on where she thinks they're weak, but assuming she's going to get lit up is foreign to Ronda's mindset in more or less every way.

Ronda would trade with Holmes just to mentally break her down. Even in her earlier fights, there's a certain level of calculated aggression in Ronda's gameplans that other w135s lack.

I listened to this whole thing on a boring workday and I came out of it kind of liking Schaub. He's dumb as hell and a DEFCON2 level bro but hanging out with people like Rogan and Callen has also given him the confidence to admit funny stuff like that he has major body image issues, talk poo poo on people who knocked him out and also Bigfoot Silva, and freely discuss how he's super vain. He has a childlike enthusiasm and enough moments of clarity to make me not hate him anymore.

He sounds like a goddamn parody whenever he's talking about "dating". I put it in quotes because it's really just him throwing around the term "Dime piece" and talking about wanting to have sex with everybody, not much dating mentioned. He said him and Bruce Buffer traded strange-hunting stories on an airplane ride once, but wouldn't elaborate much other than to say that BB obviously has great pull with the ladies.

Bruce Buffer's normal speaking voice is like a wizards spell. That dude could talk a nun out of her habit.

He faced a lot of not very good fighters, beat Mark Kerr by illegal knees (but gently caress Mark Kerr), probably lost to Sakuraba but somehow got an OT round that Sakuraba couldn't fight because of exhaustion, then got his poo poo kneed in by Coleman.

He's a crazy person wrestler that managed to talk UFC into insane amounts of money to wrestle the poo poo out of people. And by wrestle I mean, lay on opponents like a wet blanket. Also he was a walk-on that ended up captaining the Purdue wrestling team, which speaks volumes for Purdue's wrestling program(I went there and didn't realize there was one).

That NSAC hearing was a farce. They sucked off Vitor to sell a fight, didn't give the nice soldier guy a license, let the suicidal dude get rubber stamped and then threw the book at a retired fighter.
