Hasn't Dana set a precedent for this before, promising the winner a shot, but was a crap fight so he rescinded the offer

Think you're right, and wasn't it when Machida won too?

Is Ronda the most dangerous fighter in the UFC? this will be her 5th pro fight and she has already snapped two arms.

My comment that nothing happened in the fight? Did you watch the fight?

i don't think she's snapped the arms, she just won by arm bar

I'm thinking of her fights with Julia Budd and Tate.

Wow I didn't realise Rousey is so much bigger.

Pity.

Mr Blobby

Wow...

Quality fight.

Fantastic

Carmouche looked great too, would love to see her against Marlos Coenen.

scudzilla

Really great fight, didn't think i'd enjoy it as much as i did

Pretty much shat myself when that choke/neck crank went on .. it came sooo close to going to a second round as well!

That was her 7th pro fight.
Don't think she's snapped any arms. I think Budd and Tate were dislocated though.

She's a hell of a fighter, plenty would have tapped to that neck/face crank.

Great technique too, staying with Carmouche through her attempts to roll out.

Anyone else reckon the UFC manufactured that top of Rousey's deliberately lower cut than usual?

DrPhilG

How ironic that so many people bitched that the Rousey-Carmouche fight was the main event while Hendo and Machida were co-main?

Hendo-Machida was a stinker and the girls put on a stormer.

The main event was brilliant. Hopefully we see Cyborg vs Rousey in the not so distant future.

A difference between a broken bone and a dislocated joint?
I'd have thought the difference was obvious. I'm sure the latter could be just as serious if properly mangled

I got ya beat for bad accy luck: I had (in reverse order) Rousey in the 1st, Faber, West Brom, Man Utd (-1), Arsenal and Italy (+14). Italy lost by 17.

What Machida picking Hendo apart while taking nothing but a few leg kicks?

Quality performance by Lyoto, hard to believe it went to a split decision.

Then again this is the UFC - it's not hard to believe at all.

Read what I quoted from you before arguing black is white;

A snapped limb is snapped regardless if its a fracture or a dislocation.

welkin

Thought Machida Hendo was fight of the night.

Machida landed some amazeballs kicks and a great trip but since I'm a fan of his I was always on edge cause of the H-Bomb.
Lyoto actually hit Hendo with a Randy Couture jumping crane kick in the 3rd round and it's onyl because Hendo has a granite chin that everyone isn't saying Machida is a ****ing God. He fought exactly like he did against Bader/Randy/Tito/Rashad when everyone was singing his praises.

Great technical battle. Annoying the crowd was booing after.
These droolers are never satisfied unless someone gets sparked tbh.

I had thought her fights against Tweet and Gomes were still amateur, anyhow great fight.

Mr. CooL ICE

Aside from the disappointing co-main and Schaub-Johnson (both had great potential), it was a great card. The main event was exactly what women's MMA needed.

I laughed when Buffer was announcing the winner of Robertson-Jardine and nobody knew what to call it: "after a tapout due to a... submission!"

Wow, nowhere near fight of the night, Watch Bermudez/Grice then try and say the same

p to the e

It's not usual you get three submission of the night contenders but Robertson's was just fantastic. Very innovative. The guy is actually a full time teacher aswell. Was also very impressed with Faber's transitions to get the choke. I predict Menjivar will be cut

It's gonna be a long time until Hendo gets a potential title shot again. He refused to be drawn into Machida counter striking game á la Ryan Bader was and when he went to move in close Machida refused to keep that close distance preferring to stay on the outside. This obviously didn't make for enthralling viewing but you have to respect two high level MMA fighters sticking to their gameplans.

Great win for Robbie Lawler. Some were saying it was a premature stoppage but I feel it was just. Koscheck seemed out for a time and he would have just taken another few hits before it being stopped.

Agree completely..also can't take anyone who says 'amazeballs' seriously...

Anyone think this whole Dana white cutting farce is like that episode of the Simpsons when Homer was the football coach of the Springfield junior high (or something like that)

"you're cut. you're cut. you're cut. Everyone else is fine. Except for you Jon Fitch you're cut"

True, maybe he's a 15 year old girl...

I don't doubt that Machida was effective and put on a technical display, but he spend large parts of the fight backing up, not engaging and throwing very few shots.

The very few strikes he threw were extremely accurate, doesn't mean it was an exciting fight. I agree it was clearly Machidas fight though, madness to score it for Hendo.

It was the kind of jab and move performance that people have long slated Bisping for.

She had 2 amateur fights that were also first minute armbars, not against those two. They used to be listed on her record on Wikipedia.

I'd see snapped as being synonymous with a broken bone only. I thought that was clear from my first post. I would have assumed most viewed it like that tbh. If you see it differently, that's up to you.


Very impressive from Rousey, I think surviving that crank will elevate her in the eyes of her detractors. Even though its was still a 1st round armbar win, her odds were clearly too short. Prob going to be the case for a while.

MrStuffins

Wow, thank God for the girls eh?

Great fight, although the ladies always put on a great show!

Good card all in all. Some really cracking fights!

She snapped her sh1t up all the way to Snap city.

Apparently it wasn't broken, just really badly dislocated and generally f*cked up

She was back fighting again five months later, pretty impressive!

By snapped I meant damaged/fuucked.

Especially when you consider that Ronda had her arm dislocated twice in that fight.

Loved this stat on Sherdog, really summed up Urijah Faber's unfortunate career development prospects right now (and also his immense talent):

6-0: Urijah Faber’s record in non-title bouts since 2009. That ledger includes wins over Jens Pulver, Raphael Assuncao, Takeya Mizugaki, Eddie Wineland, Brian Bowles and Ivan Menjivar. “The California Kid” is 0-4 in championship contests over that same timeframe.

I dont think so if he never lets anyone through the gate

Richy06

I reckon we see Cruz/Baroa if/when Cruz returns to fighting. But he lost afew close decisions and has looked fantastic in his non title bouts. I see him getting another shot at the winner of the title fight and, whatever happens, a 3rd bout with Cruz down the line. That switch from the crucifix to the back with the body triangle was just so good!

Hate to see comments like this.

Miss the days when a proper discussion was had.

I think Hendos last few opponents have masked some deficiencies in him as he's gotten older.

Shogun was sort of tailor made for him. Forward moving, plodding, slow and past it himself. Against quick and tactical LHWs Hendo will have this sort of trouble.

Hendo Rashad next maybe?
