She's a smart chick. She knows the flamboyantly over-the-top gets the hype train rolling full steam ala Chael Sonnen. The more crazy shit you say, the more people want to talk about you.

haha whenever I read that I always laugh, picturing his nasal like voice saying it, and then picturing him get absolutely humbled for 20 minites before quitting

Just had to give Sakara a reason to post up his favorite gif.

Too bad Marloes Coenen isn't in SF anymore due to that whole Golden Glory thing. She's the fighter who I think provides the most intriguing matchup for Rousey until they can get Sara McMann signed and built up, she's awesome.

In my opinion there is a line that should not be crossed when hyping a fight. Insinuating that you want to kill or will try to kill someone in a fight is crossing that line. Not because I take it seriously but because there are still too many people out there who DO take it seriously and still believe that MMA is human cock fighting. Having these kinds of promo's does not help the image of MMA as a sport.

Maybe once MMA becomes a truly established sport we can shrug this kind of talk as just pre-fight hype. But until then i think fighters should not go that far in hyping a fight. Besides, it's not really all that witty or creative. These guys should take some promo cutting lessons from the WWE guys like Stone Cold, The Rock, Ric Flair, etc.

The bimbo girl understands that talking controversial garbage, talking about sex and posing nude are things that will help her a lot, are things that will make WMMA much more popular. Of course most of people will hate her, but she does not give a fuck about that. She knows that she will become very popular, and she will earn much more money and will have much more exposure than if she remains quiet and humble.

Sooner or later she will get her ass kicked in the cage (hopefully tomorrow), but meanwhile, she is promoting herself and WMMA. In a pretty lame way, but it is what works the best.
People will not pay attention to someone who says "My opponent is very strong, I respect him a lot and I think it will be a great battle", but they will pay attention to someone who says "I am gonna fucking kill him, he sucks, and after that I am gonna have sex all night"

Ronda's sister is a sports writer and has been mentoring her on how to give sound clips.


This is not much different than what fighters before her have said... Yada yada, I am going until the ref stops me.

I remember Frank Mir catching shit before his second fight with Brock Lesnar for saying something along the lines of " I want to be responsible for the first MMA related death. I want to mane a widow of his wife." I think that was much worse than this and that all blew over after the fight. In a couple months no one will even remember this. Rhonda will be fine. Unless she actually does kill her that is. Then it might hit the fan .

Yup, that's pretty much how Western society is.

Haha thanks but it's been a long time since BJ or Mir have said it but we still remember. This kind of thing seems to stick out in peoples minds.
