Big bet on Rousey, and moderate double on Kj Noons and Rousey. Fights havn't been fantastic so far.

Fair play to Bowling there. He didn't go running around like a lunatic after winning. Dropped straight down and shook Sailings hand.

Mr. CooL ICE

No spoiler alert in thread title, so here goes

Was rooting for Rousey and glad she won via, umm, Rousey, but she wasn't exactly gracious. Good to see she has cardio beyond 45 seconds :P But Tate's arm was nasty to watch in slomo.

I had never seen Josh Thompson fight before and was very impressed. Jacare is also a joy to watch as always. Paul Daley is now 1-3 in Strikeforce. I expect him to be in serious trouble now.

Kaufman-Davis was a bloody war. Davis' eyebrow was seriously messed up. I assumed the blood on Kaufman's face wasn't hers but seeing her in the crowd afterwards suggested otherwise. Both are tough as nails.

Roar

the angle of her arm at the end was horrible, absolutely horrible. only watched the main on mmacore, is the rest of the card worth watching?

Mr. CooL ICE

Yes. The undercard alone is worth a watch for the female bout and Bowling-Saling

Jaysus, what a nasty nasty armbar!! Why the hell didn't she tap sooner!

"I'm not sorry"... love that girl

8 fights total, 8 armbar wins - 7 under 1 minute. Thats ridiculous. Obviously a fair higher standard that the others in the division.

Also, did anyone see the comments from Bryan Caraway (Tate's boyfriend) before the fight.
"Bascially said he's knock Rouseys teeth out and break her arm. He'd never hit a girl but she isn't a girl"

Wow. What a dumbass? What ever about trash talk, but has he learnt nothing from recent twitter cock ups. only in the UFC a short while and comments liek that could mess up his future.

JoeyJJ

Wow great Finale to a sub standard card, however that last match made it all worth while. Her next opponent in the crowd didn't look too up for the fight Guess she had a hard win earlier though.

Know why JK Noons never made the leap over to UFC, well for me, I just never enjoy seeing him fight. Not sure why, as I usually enjoy people with boxing skills but to me his aren't great in a MMA setting.

Loved seeing Semtex pissed off with the result, was a close enough fight but having a bloodied up opponent doesn't win you the fight. Maybe in old Pride rules he might have won it.

Mr. CooL ICE

Commentary as always was great:

"You see the way the girls braid their hair, you know when they grind their heads in each others faces, that's like rope, scraping your face up"
"I guess the guys did it when we didn't shave, remember we do that 3-day beard"
"I ate onions"

Bryan Caraway is an idiot to come out with a statement like that.

Tate made a statement had she has no broken bones in her arm.....how the hell not :eek:

Good article on "Arm-gate". The picture of Rousey looking at the woman interviewer about half way down is brilliant.

IIRC she asked her what her game plan was.

Her elbow joint was mangled rather than the bones either side of it. She'll have some ligament/tendon damage which is worse.

Imagine you have a chicken wing. A full wing with a forearm and bicep bits.
Now bend them back, stretch them out a little. All the connective tissue pops out. The bones are a little separated, but not broken. That's Tates arm.

Now get some Franks Hto sauce and enjoy you chicken wings.

Zero-Cool

now I want some chicken wings Thanks for the explanation lads, tough chick not tapping sooner.

Nice demo from two of the gracies in the breakdown, never noticed this before hearing it on MMA hour
