Uh, yeah, this is about punch men, how else would you measure something stupid like that?

HOT, STEAMY MEAT!

http://www.examiner.com/article/ronda-rousey-put-hot-meat-her-mouth-to-celebrate-ufc-157-victory?cid=db_articles

quote:

According to a Feb. 25 report from MMA Fighting, Ronda Rousey put hot, steamy meat in her mouth to celebrate her UFC 157 victory over Liz Carmouche.

Rousey had apparently been craving tender, juicy meat throughout her training camp, but she wasn't allowed to indulge because she had to worry about contractual weight requirements.

Once the 'W' was secured and the fight was over, Rousey was finally able to suck on some delicious bones, as her camp explained that she feasted in her private hotel room following UFC 157.

"Rousey celebrated the win by eschewing a post-fight after party in favor of returning to her hotel room to eat buffalo wings," MMA Fighting reports. "[Rousey's manager] said that's about par for the course from a fighter who has raced to stardom without losing herself."

Of course, a buffalo wing celebration is Rousey's typical way to savor a key victory.

Rousey has been celebrating wins by buffalo wing feasts ever since she competed in the amateur ranks, and nothing has changed even after turning pro.

Through it all, Rousey stays humble and true to who she is.

"She hasn�t lost any of her humility at all," Rousey's manager Darin Harvey said. "My dad says when you put someone on a pedestal, they�ll only look down on you. She's been put on this pedestal but she's not looking down on anybody. She's maintained her humility. Of course, she's a young woman and it's an incredibly challenging, confronted with all this success and all this fame. And it's happened -- three years is overnight in this business -- it's happened very rapidly to make history, but she�s handling it very well."

It says something about Rousey's humble nature that she decided to celebrate her UFC 157 victory with a tight-knit group of friends over a simple meal, rather than splurging on an expensive, fine dining experience.

UNGH, HOT MEAT

Though I do like that she takes human wings and then eats bird wings afterwards.

Our very own LobsterMobster did a cool article on fighter's dogs

http://www.uproxx.com/sports/2014/01/fighter-dogs-power-rankings/

Pretty neat but I feel like War Machine's snakes should be in the section w/ the bunnies and not-dogs.

Thanks, Yuriy! Part of it is I didn't know about his snakes. Sorry

Also, just got positive responses from Thug Rose and Julie Kedzie. I'm a pretty big deal now.

Gustafsson has two dogs now. They are named Sativa and Ghost. Something I have to remember when he fights Jones next time, so I can make horrible jokes about snitching and herb.

I like my names better because they are mean-spirited and mocking :colbert:

Also, surprised Hendo doesn't own a pug.

Tim Burke cares about the dumb UFC Rankings a lot, also rankings in general, and does all the updates on rankings

I'm 100% serious when I say he might have aspergers

Yeah, but maybe people shouldn't be trying to rank dudes in divisions they aren't in any more. We basically had a guideline on that end for the few months we tried to rank fighters (Would kind of like to see that return at some point)

i actually laughed out loud at 'mutually assured destruction', but i'm honestly surprised that bruce leeroy fight where he got deducted like 2 points for ball attacks and lost didn't make the cut

One of my colleagues over at Uproxx has been getting interviews with various fighters.

He got some contacts with Cris Cyborg, and her people demanded $500 for us to interview her.
