Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

Good excuse to avoid the presser and interviews though

Watching the fight with some friends and they were like "aren't Whittaker's footstomps kinda cheap?" And I was like "well how would you characterize clutching your opponents hands with your back turned while you try to burrow into the corner" and they decided that Whittaker's footstomps were morally justified

How was the post fight presser? Did anyone cry? Did Ronda show up or did she pretend to need to go directly to the hospital to avoid having to self reflect

Also she didn't win the qualifying fight anyways so she's not really a TUF fighter.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

The worst part is that in all of the drama, Joanna Jsghoishg continuing to be 115 pounds of whupass in a can will be entirely overshadowed.

Apparently the Vegas sportsbooks got crushed badly. They lost all the money they made from College Football that day. The only sportsbook that did OK was the golden nugget, aafter they decided to accept a few very large bets on Rousey.

she should of retired after the last fight. Her record at that point was worth more then any additional fights.

I wrote a thing about Holm's best path to victory being "throw a tiger at Ronda"

And then I listen to the blue corner audio (mostly to hear how hyped Jack/Wink got) and Winklejohn says this: https://vine.co/v/iBIjIb0vXPE

He also screams "JOE ROGAN! JOE ROGAN! JOE ROGAN!" after the KO until Jackson says "We were supposed to win, act professional"

True.

Except for the purses from the fights, and the PPV cuts, and the sponsorship dollars. If you forget all of that stuff, the record pays just as much.

There is a difference between tyson and ronda. Ronda is young enough she could have transition to a decent action movie star making millions. She needs some more acting coaches but she was in a perfect position for it. Now I dont think so. I mean maybe but the mystic is gone.

The big budget film work would not last very long once it becomes apparent that she can't act and no one cares about her when she's not actively destroying overmatched women in between movies.

She makes about 5 mil a fight, and fights thrice yearly. That's Chris Tucker money, which she would never make working in the talkies

she can learn to act well enough. Look at Schwarzenegger and any random group of guys making the transition from sports star to movie star. Nothing is certain in life but she had a great platform to jump off of. Im just saying the potential payout for being a movie star with back end point deals is beyond these ppv amounts.

You got a source because Dana White disagrees on his twitter. He said she got lip stitches and specifically said there's nothing wrong with her jaw.


EDIT:
danawhite: @cage24 she's good, just had to get some stitches in her lip.

"Female action star" isn't really a type the way it is for men. They are mostly just actresses who sometimes do action movies.

Watching the fight from the blue corner, Winklejohn shouts "Do the Travis Browne!"

From context, he yells that, she lands a left straight, and then Wink says "Beautiful!" so I guess that's what that is

Couple more facts:

UFC 193 barely broke the attendance record (56,214, previous record 55,724), by 490 tickets.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk broke the record for most significant strikes in a championship fight, and she is #2 overall for all UFC fights. (220 strikes, #1 is Nate Diaz with 238 at UFC 141)
