I can not wait for the main fight Ronda Rousey against Amanda Nunes.
Seen the weigh in's and Rousey looks to be in the best shape of her UFC career to date.
Amanda Nunes has impressed me the last few fight and she seems to be improving with every fight she get's.
I honestly can not see past Rousey winning this fight , Yes she lost her last fight and why she was so poor only she knows the reason.
Dominick Cruz v Cody Garbrandt look like a fight that could get very messy.It is pretty obvious these two really dislike each other. |

the longer it goes... the more it favours nunes....
rousey needs to get her conditioning sorted because she looked gassed at the end of round 1 of the holly holm fight....
nunes is a scraper and would probably prefer taking it to the mat, but i wonder if she will try some stand up to see if rousey learnt anything.... |

Looking forward to this too!
Rousey has a terrible coach and is not nearly as good a striker as she thinks (thought?) she is. She'd gotten away with it in a weak division and as soon as she came up against a world class striker (who she foolishly tried to outstrike) she got brutally exposed (plodding footwork, no head movement). She's also coming off a long lay off and a bad KO, who knows how that will affect her psychologically.
That said if she sticks to her judo strengths and isn't mentally affected by the KO and layoff, she's favourite I think. Big if though.
Think Cruz is going to shut out Cody for 5 rounds. I like watching Dillashaw too who i think will shut out or stop late John Lineker who is far too one dimensional to cause TJ any real problems.

Just watched it, wow. rousey is well and truly done. She looked clueless, gun shy and once again, tried to trade with a puncher. Well done Nunes but ronda was so poor.
Couldn't have been more wrong about Cruz/garbrant. Knew Cody had fast hands but his footwork and head movement were unbelievable too, thought the scores should have been wider, he busted Cruz up. Ace performance.
Sets up a great fight between Garbrant & Dillashaw, pretty much 50/50 for me  |

Just watched it too!
I think the thing that annoyed me was that Ronda is happy to bask in the adoration of the fans and the media when she wins but when she loses thats it. No interviews, no thanking the fans. Seems a bit like a sore loser.
On the other hand I was very impressed with Doms post fight presser. Hes a smart dude.
Think RR is truly done now after this tho. She did a huge amount in creating a buzz around womens mma but its time to pass on the torch |

"That's it for Rousey, bless her, she tried but failed hard. "
i think everyone wanted to see how she would react to that first punch.... she just went rigid and nunes just picked her off at will...
I think rogan's commentary was spot on after punch 1 when he said she was in huge trouble... she did not look like for one second she wanted to be there before during or after this whole camp....
time for her to do something else... be that more films... or wwe... or anything! |
