yeah, I guess Ronda did have a reason to be pissed. Might be a plan by Holly, Ronda at her most respectful and "merciful" says she goes for quick finishes. Well, Holly wants Ronda to come out swinging and try to hurt her, so maybe she decided she needed to piss her off, and Ronda's coaches might now be telling her to stick with the game plan.

Ronda's speech at the weigh-ins seemed more contrived and obnoxious than Holm's. I'm not a huge Ronda fan, but that made me want to see her lose just a little bit.

Actually rewatching the weigh-ins, that might have been organic light pollution. There was some kind of strobe going off stage left.

she looked drained as usual, but she was acting hilarious. she was talking poo poo to valerie from the moment she walked up the stairs, while taking her clothes off, getting weighed, and then in the face off.


i was dying laughing when mark hunt walked in already in his weigh in trunks, needing to pull them up walking up the stairs.

I liked when she took an extra 2 minutes to put her pants, socks, and shoes on before she bothered to do the staredown.

Joanna was commenting on her twitter that her weight cut went well so despite appearances I think she will be fine.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
The issue is that they're doing the event at Etihad stadium which is used for AFL games, that require a huge pitch.

does Melbourne not have better arenas to do stuff like this in? I guess I'm not that familiar with what buildings UFC tends to run, compared to, say, WWE, which pretty much only runs basketball arenas unless it's Mania

Not really, most stadiums here are for the big three - AFL, Rugby League and Cricket. AFL and cricket are played on the same size ground and League usually fits in there too.

It seems like after the rumored Cowboys Stadium card didn't materialize the UFC just said gently caress it let's put Ronda in a stadium anyways, even if it doesn't have a gently caress off massive screen for the cheap seats to watch. And then they went to Wal-Mart and bought an incredible amount of white plastic chairs.

depends on your definition of 'care about' but i predict nguyen / benoit, walsh / kennedy, vaculik / martinez and matthews / arreaola will all be very interesting. in fact, i predict many finishes on the undercard. unfornately perosh will likely be on the receiving end of one.

The main ones are:
MCG which holds 100k and is open air
Etihad Stadium which is the current venue
AAMI Park which holds about 40k and is open air.
Rod Laver Arena which is a multi purpose venue where tennis, basketball, concerts etc are played
