A Ronda Rousey thread 3 pages in and no pictures posted!

TBear would be so disappointing in y'all. That's right, hang your heads in shame.

I'm totally on board and it only makes sense to feature Rousey on a FOX card.

Besides tennis there really aren't any. That's exactly why this move will set the UFC apart from the stick and ball sports. Have you seen Invicta? That last card was banging.

At the end of 2011, Ariel was talking about a trend--MMA seems to alternate between peaks and valleys of popularity every other year. 2012 was definitely a down year but right now 2013's shine is bright as fuck.

I find Ronda's fights very entertaining and I can't wait to see her in the UFC. I'd wager she could hang with most of the dudes at 135.

Idk I could be wrong but I think it's only hardcore mma fans that visit the forums and shit that are gonna really be into this. Maybe a rousey fight in the UFC but man creating a whole division basically based around one fighter is a risky undertaking. I didn't watch invicta FC cause I honestly don't enjoy women's mma at all. It's just comepletely unappealing to me in every way... Call that sexist whatever I think its trash. And I really believe most ppl are gonna agree with me. Not the hardcores who just enjoy mma in general. But regular joes... That's my shitty 2 cents

Check out the Showtime stats for Ronda's last couple fights. Her fight against Kaufmann was SF's biggest draw this year. Also, Gina Carano's fights drew better numbers for CBS than UFC has for FOX. It's true there probably isn't much star power after that, but it's probably better off than the men's 125. And having a women's division will help them build depth and more stars.

We will see how long this will last.
If Cyborg blasts Rousey then it will be a huge blow for the division. The only reason UFC is making a WMMA division is because of Ronda. If she loses her first fight then her aura will dissapear and probably the division will not last that much time.
Other than Rousey and Cyborg there is no one female fighter that people really want to see. (Assuming that Carano is retired)

With all due respect (which is little to none) piss on both yall haters! I like watching good fights . Period. Skill is important not so much size or genitals.

Damn, I'm surprised but congrats to Rousey for making history and the womens division for making it to the big stage.
