This will be a great fight, although I can't see any ending that doesn't end with Kaufmann tapping. She could turn his fight into a brawl and maybe wear Rousey out over the course of a couple rounds, but you gotta think Rousey will be able to grab an arm to crank on at some point within the 25 minutes. I also definetly think submitting Tate is harder than submitting Kaufmann, and Rousey made it look pretty easy against Tate.
Um.. re-watch the fight. Ronda got smacked around by Tate while Ronda was finding her range. Obviously Ronda aimed to get it to the ground, but she took some shots while trying to setup the takedown.
What would watching the fight again prove other than you being wrong ?
"Ronda was going to try to strike No she was never ever going to try and stand.
with Tate and realized that a hug and throw would be a better option."
yeah she realized nothing she was aware of this the day the fight was singed

Sniggles don't get mad, just admit your wording was wrong. MMAfan is right that Rousey planned to get it to the ground. She might have thought stand and exchange for a little, b/c she didn't respect Tate's KO power, but her intention was absolutely to submit her.
Trustkill, I am with you. The only way Kaufman wins this is to get a Johny Cash Tattoo and train with Belcher. Also laughed at Gangreen saying her arm rehab begins in September.
War Rousey. I like both fighters, but think Rousey can keep WMMA alive and hopefully bring it to the UFC!

I remember Ronda taking a few hard shots too. It didn't seem to bother her too much, or at least she didn't show it. I think her chin is fine.

"So I was like alright, cool, you wanna play Twitter, bitch? I'm good at this game, I just got a creativity award. BJPenn.com put out Miesha talking about how everything on earth was torn off in her elbow and somebody put with that, 'Don't F- with Ronda Rousey!' So I linked to that and put under it, 'Keep running sprints, that's probably what will help you the most.'"
R. Rousey
i think rhonda is incredibly talented and ive been trying really hard to be a fan, but everytime she opens her mouth i end up cringing
Her intention is to draw more attention to the women's division and it has been effective thus far. Strikeforce will not fold until the women's division has the ability to go to the mainstream. Zuffa will use Strikeforce to get into the UFC's weakest demographic which represents 51% of the population. I have no doubts in my mind. As much as people are against watching females fight... the UFC would have no problems fitting in a single women's bouts in a majority of their future events .
