    He could have a point. It was announced Rousey is out for 6 months. She could very well decide to call it quits.

    Thats normal after a knockout.

    She will go for another scan CT scan in 2 weeks and unless it comes back negative (never happened in the UFC) she will have the suspension cut.

    In two weeks she'll have another MRI and CT, if there is still swelling or other signs of concussion or it's not progressing as quickly as the doctors would like the ban will stay at 6 months and be reviewed in a few weeks. If it's looking better the doctor will adjust it to 3 or 4 months depending and reassess in 4 - 6 weeks.

    Basically, traumatic brain injuries ain't no joke, son.

    The fight really makes me wonder how the fight would have gone with Kat if she hadn't bum rushed Ronda

    She out for six months no matter what on the commission. Head injuries. It comes atomic with the sport. Do any of you guys on here really know anything about the sport. Six months is automatic with concussion. It will drop back with doctor reports scans etc. Sweet jesus the amount of bollix people spout without knowing anything about any sport.

    Also for example George Hamilton when the first goal went in at home he said they will have to score two. And then someone told him different. Facts are easy to come by if you follow sport. I love sport all sport. Rhonda cant fight for six months unless the commission clears her.

    Re match is a cert to much money. A CERT.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,561 ✭✭✭JJayoo


    But how would a rematch go? either get the submission or get your face smashed in again?

    What the hell are you talking about?

    It's just precautionary, like after every knock out.

    From the press release

    "180 days or cleared by negative head CT scan. 60 days no fight, 45 days no contact."

    So realistically she is out for 2 months, no sparring for a month and a half.

    If she can be cleared to fight earlier, then it's not "no matter what".
    A doctor clears her, not the commission.
    Her name is Ronda.

    No idea why you're getting worked up over it, it wasn't even directed at you or anyone on this site. I just pointed out that seeing it spelled wrong hundreds of times across every MMA forum was a bit funny and how it annoyed me, this is probably the least place I've seen it happen actually. If I was a mod, I'd be more concerned by someone abusing people for a tongue-in-cheek post and then PM'ing them abuse as well. Sorry if you took offence to it though.

    That was a loss in really spectacular fashion which i think will be hard for Rousey to come to terms with. I think she could have taken more comfort with a loss from the ref stepping in after taking too many unanswered punches against the fence a little later if the KO kick didnt occur. But this really was a highlight reel life tilt KO and loss which will grate her and i dont even think in her mind winning a rematch will ever repair what happened.
    I dont think she will make peace with it until her fighting days are well gone.

    Kinda like when Eamonn Dunphy insists on saying Jeff Hendricks when it's Jeff Hendrick :P I suppose since both Holm and Holmes are surnames, the ones with the S at the end are probably more common, causing the error.

    "[Ronda] apologized to me -- and I told her that you are still the best and we'll talk about what the plans are after she rests," Tarverdyan said. "Certainly the girl needs rest. It's not easy to deal with everything she has been dealing with. She needs time to rest, and after she rests we'll figure out what is best for her career." - Edmond Tarverdyan

    That sticks in my craw that (if) she apologized to him!

    Ridiculously unfounded claim to make of someone. At least I'm civil in replying to you, not being condescending and rude.

    If you didn't get worked up, why the snarky response?

    Thank gawwwdddddddddddd people have been discussing this and it has cleared up a lot of confusion for me.

    I'm not dumb so I knew obviously that Rhonda & Ronda meant Rousey but the whole Holm/Holms thing really threw me....for a few days there I thought that gob****e Eamon Holmes had beat up Rousey!!



    :rolleyes:



    Seriously, is that what happens to event threads 4/5 after the event finishes there are discussions and fallings out over how names are spelt? lol

    Well being civil is getting nowhere I see.

    What the hell is your problem? You've essentially posted the same thing twice, with absolutely no reasons to back it up. Get off your high horse and either explain your accusation or carry on acting like an obnoxious so-and-so. You started an argument over absolutely nothing and now that you've run out of things to say, you're repeating yourself. At least make some sort of worthwhile contribution, or are you too good for that?

    As for me "feeling precious about [myself]", you're an awful judge of character.

    That's a beatdown that even winning a rematch wouldn't erase.

    Kinda like Wanderlei / Rampage - yeah Rampage's left hook would have knocked out a horse, but Wanderlei was still the guy that left him hanging on the ropes with blood dripping everywhere in the most brutal KO of all time.

    I wouldnt be surprised if Rousey went to the WWE

    I apologise for the rude response's. However if really annoys me people picking up on spelling. I type very quick so i don't really check my work. I don't think i should have to. I got an A2 in higher level english so i can spell but i don't need to justify myself to anyone on here. I just find it really petty to point spelling mistakes out but if that what you get your kicks from then continue to do so. I didn't check this so please run it through the spell check for me.

    I don't think anyone should fight her. I've no interest in a fight involving her regardless who the opposition is.

    And like you I can't get that beat down out of my head either, she was cut to pieces from the off.

    Got a nice little laugh out of that. You started it all, resorted to ridiculous character judgements, and you've absolute nothing worthwhile to add. Just more petty jibes and judgements.

    She was after receiving plastic surgery on her lip and no doubt her face is still pretty swollen and beat up, this is why she was hiding her face behind the pillow..how you tie that to being a bad loser I dont know..

    Rousey is a bully who got schooled. Simple really she will lose the re-match if her face can take one. Rousey has brought the money to women's mma fighting. So you have to be dedicated to it. Your either a fighter or your not. If your not training right your screwed. Take your eye of the ball your are goosed.

    Re-match as i said will be different but unless Rousey gets a boxing coach in she is in for the same. At least it's interesting.

    It's a total cop out. If she makes weight and passes the testing regime nobody has s leg to stand on in regards to whether or not they fight her. If Rousey regains the belt and Cyborg makes weight and Rousey refuses to fight her she should be criticised.

    I agree completely, but if Rousey gets the belt back and she doesn't want the Cyborg fight, there's plenty she can do to get out of it unfortunately. She doesn't mind if the fans lose, as long as she doesn't. I do think she'd take the fight personally, but it is avoidable.
