Finally we can have PSP book club. I hope that they sat Mark down to tell his life story in one sitting and just transcribed the audio.

Grifter posted:I finished the book and I don't think she ever legit admits to a loss. It's always a bullshit penalty, or her opponent running away, or she actually hit the throw and the judge didn't admit it. Ronda's such a fierce competitor that she can't imagine a world in which she loses. This leads to cool stuff too though, like how she says she has never tapped to an armbar in competition and instead has had her elbow dislocated multiple times, sometimes going on to win afterwards. oh really? Interesting. I love her but kinda anticipate seeing how she'll take a loss in MMA. Of course the chances of that, at the moment, are very loving low

ICHIBAHN posted:looking forward to reading what happened in that bizarre fight she had where the ref just gave her the sub out of nowhere. If this was in Strikeforce it was an audible tapout. The other girl looked confused as poo poo at first but Ronda looked over at the ref basically asking whether he heard it and would step in and stop it. The other fighter then proceeded to act as if nothing happened and it was a bullshit early stoppage, though I believe she came clean later. Still a weird fight, though.

It wasn't weird at all. Ronda got her in an armbar and was cranking it when the other lady screamed and the ref stopped the fight as he should have. It was pretty cut and dry.

I just mean weird in the sense that there was a mild uproar. You couldn't hear it, the announcers didn't seem to have any idea what was going on and the audience was a chorus of boos. Just confusion there for a bit.

Anyone else get the feeling Bethe really has no clue what is about to happen to her? I feel bad for her because she seems to be believing her own press. I guess you have to do what you have to do to get in there with Ronda. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1puRsO-YHJk I hope Jon Jones lawyer reads the forums and uses this as a defense Bubba Smith posted:He was in a pussy craze and didn't see the red light.

Intel&Sebastian posted:An undefeated mma fighter about to challenge for the belt thinking they might win? Well that is one way to interpret what she is saying. The other is that she is not just saying she will win, but that she is going to dominate and that Ronda does not belong in the ring with her. But drat you just lit up the snark meter there, good job! There is a huge difference in confidence and stupidity and to me Bethe seems unrealistic about what she is facing. You have a different opinion enjoy it. Listen to Daniel Cormier discuss Jon Jones even before the fight. He knew what he was facing and what he was getting into.

DC and Bethe arent in remotely similiar circumstances, especially in terms of what kind of promotion they need and I think its absurd to think just because some Brazilian lady is smartly deploying Conor/Chael schtick through a translator that she has some brain problem.

It really wasn't cut and dry because Ronda told Mazagatti the other girl had a broken arm and so he stopped it. Except her arm was fine

I guess you have to do what you have to do to get in there with Ronda. I don't think she is clueless. No one in the MMA community is going to short sell Rousey. I think Bethe is just trying to Conor it up and make for a big payday in her home country. And even if the odds aren't good she's still got to be confident about herself. You can't do what she does for a living and doubt yourself. It's a one way ticket to getting your rear end kicked. Still from an experience stand point she is probably the second least seasoned fighter Rousey has defended the belt against after Carmouche. And even then what Carmouche lacked in experience she made up a bit for in being strong as hell and having a lot of heart.

Honestly I don't even think Bethe is the best Brazilian woman at 135, Amanda Nunes is probably better.

Watching some Tim Boetsch matches for the first time and he's like pretty bad huh? Can't believe he's main eventing a Fight Night card. Fight Nights are kind of dire lately.

He looked awesome against bad fighters, then bad against Yushin Okami before he destroyed him in the 3rd, then steadily went on to look bad. He beat Hector Lombard in Lombard's debut though so that was cool.

Boetsh has knockout power and the ability to do cool throws and poo poo but hasn't really been able to break through. Still a consistently fun guy to watch though.

Ah drat theres some good rear end knockouts in the Henderson/Boetsch Faceoff they've got on Fight Pass. Never get tired of seeing Bisping being the most unconscious I've ever seen a person in MMA.

Go watch Boestch vs Heath and try not to get hyped for that man when he is about to do violence at someone.
