I can assure you 99% of people looking at that interview totally got how she was feeling at that moment and would have no issue with it. Its sport, its real and real emotions in this and any sport add to it.

Ah sure not everyone curses, only 50% of people I reckon.

MrStuffins

2 people in a cage where the aim is to beat your opponent so hard that they physically can not continue anymore, until they are concussed...... to make your opponent feel so much pain in a submission hold that they have to tell you they've given up.... to damage your opponent so much that a qualified doctor tells them that they can no longer compete...... all of these things are fine.

But saying "f*ck" a few times?

I'm not holding on to anything. People are asking me why I think this and if it's a joke. I'm not continually preaching or anything

I agree, back in the day when UFC was operating in a tiny niche and appealing to a certain demographic this language was acceptable. Now that they're trying to be mainstream it won't wash. You can shoot someone in the face on American tv just don't dare swear or have anti religious views.

I swear like a docker so i'm not looking at this from any perspective other than its ability to undermine the UFC's objectives.

I dont think Zinganos move was stupid at all, it just didnt come off. A few mm either way with the knee and Rousey would have done the chicken dance.

I dunno, if you're going to throw a knee like that you had better commit and go full force flying knee and at least let your momentum knock your opponent over even if the knee doesn't connect. This looked like she had second thoughts just as she started to unload

Do you think that fact she is a woman and cursing you have a bigger problem with it? Loads of the male fighters curse during interviews, and Dana White himself unloads in interviews all the time.

**** me sideways. Complaining about a fighter swearing on TV. Man the **** up.

****.

The fact that she's a woman? Absolutely no difference. In fact, I can't remember the last time I heard a fighter swear like that. Maybe nick Diaz

There's three things I wouldn't want to do verses a high level judoka.

1. Engage in clinch range
2. Charge with uncontrolled momentum
3. Lift my feet off the ground

All of these things ante giving up open you up to being attacked easily. The flying knee managed to simultaneously give up all three conditions. So it was pretty bad.

Zingano knocked her down with the knee. Which was best case bar a clean KO. But Ronda quickly reversed into a bad spot.
Leaving her arm around Ronda head while she took her back (I posted a pic in the other thread) was terrible. Worst mistake she made by a long way.

Just watching the documentary and one of his sparring partners (Charlie Ward I think?) looks like an absolute savage. Thought he was going to take McGregor's head off there.

Do you know him? Would love to see some footage of his ammy fights. I heard recently that he's making his pro debut in an eight man tournament with the likes of Jack Marshman and some very experienced fighters. Would be hugely impressive if he won that, really starting his pro career with a bang.

Ye trained with him a few ears back. Hardest puncher and best wrestler I ever seen. If he loses that tournament I'd be surprised.also the strongest sob. Hits like a heavyweight and is just as strong

Sorry about that, I always have a few tabs open and didn't realise we were discussing Kat & Ronda in the McGregor thread. Move posts over??
