After upwards of five PPV events that I was privileged enough to view live, if only fake-live, in a humane timezone, I feel like I may have grown complacent and will thusly chill now and not watch Ronda take more arms. I am confident that I will wake up tomorrow and learn that Ronda Rousey both defended her championship and claimed a new limb for her own. You know what, I just this second watched the fifth embedded and Ronda's staredown has me all kinds of fired up. Goddamnit. This is a dumb timezone.

Lavender menace posted:When Ronda clinches I don't see why her victims don't just immediately pull guard or go for a flying triangle or crazy ankle lock because your heading to the floor anyway. Its a real shame Bethe believes she can win is landing a haymaker that Rousey decides to walk into. Hell poo poo like that can work if your an experienced 250lb dude with a 1st class striking game but when your a bantamweight with no finishing power in your fists its delusional. Going Palhares might not be a bad idea because Ronda has lovely GNP and is not going to rearrange your face when you go for a Hail Mary like that. Otoh she'll probably defend real easy and take the arm anyways.

manyak posted:I dont really know anything about Bethe but did she just like not work on improving her ground game at all this camp and is hoping to KO rousey before it even gets to the clinch? I looked up some oif her fights and her grappling is a fuckin mess and all Ive seen of her training is padwork and the grappling theyve shown looks super sloppy and unfocused. Im not saying thats even a bad strategy because its not like youre gonna beat Rousey at her own game in a 3 month training camp but still... its wild

He expended too much energy and got tired

Instead of trying to defend takedowns I'll just judo throw myself, she won't know what to do

I think it's funny that the only remaining fighter with a snowballs chance is Holm, whose strategy will be pure and utter cowardice in the face of a superior wrestler and grappler

Grifter posted:I wonder how often camps just miss the boat in terms of strategy. I'm thinking of cases like Barao making no adjustments because he Just Got Caught, and now it looks like Bethe might not have a plan past Punchers Chance. This seems like it should be rare in this day and age when tape and skilled analysis is out there. In fairness barao was landing shots on tj that had pretty much put everyone else down

I mean it doesn't really matter how much they train and gameplan, A Punchers Chance is the best Bethe can hope for

1st AD posted:Cyborg pulled mount on Gina Carano while trying to muscle her around on the clinch, and her fighting style depends on her trapping fighters against the fence and brutalizing them there or taking them down and brutalizing them there. Not saying Cyborg won't get thrown, but the Carano fight was six years ago. Not a great example. 1st AD posted:I think it's funny that the only remaining fighter with a snowballs chance is Holm, whose strategy will be pure and utter cowardice in the face of a superior wrestler and grappler Amanda Nunes  . I'm not gonna pretend she should be the #1 contender, or arguably even top 5, but stylistically she is a legit threat to anyone for at least the first three minutes of any given threat.

Rin Nakai might have have had an advantage a few years ago due to lack of arms to armbar, but now she just looks like a striking dummy and fights like one too.

If ronda does try to intentionally break her arm what kind of backlash would she get from the commission? It likely wont happen but how could they prove she did it on purpose anyways.

Seeing Pat Cummins on the prelims reminds me of how he talked a mountain of poo poo about how he was going to break DC and then got completely obliterated in the space of about a minute. It seems incredibly appropriate that he's fighting on a card headlined by Ronda/Bethe. That said it would be pretty cool if he beat up Feijao in front of his hometown fans. e: Osiris Maia easily #1 in the referee name rankings.

Mir broke Big Nog's arm because he wouldn't tap despite being in a tight kimura, that's part of it.

Cummins has been pretty good since though?

If Ronda intentionally breaks anyone's arm then the commission will know it's a shoot and she will be banned forever

That was a nice job by Issa of using half guard to recover after getting rocked. Alcantara's round for sure though. R3 is going to be the decider.
