    I hope Dom will see some small part of the ppv sales, 'cause he was the one who sold me on this.

    i cannot wait to see the clinic he puts on.

    johnny hendricks is probably on his way out after a very poor showing that the judges actually judged correctly.

    Garbrandt is shocking everyone and looking like an absolute champion.

    Shades of Anderson prime with the way he is mocking Cruz.

    Christ, Ronda looks ripped compared to the Holly fight.

    I've known Cody was talented because he was in the local amateur organization and worked with some wrestlers from my highschool so I've supported him for ohio pride. I was definitely rooting against him in this one. Mostly based off of the people I know who are friends with him and how they're all kind of douchebags. His behavior leading up to the fight reinforced that.
    But I Haven't met him directly so I can't say anything to who he is now or his personality. With such an outstanding performance he absolutely deserves the title.

    thats all coaching folks. She stood there straight up and down with zero foot work. Every single breakdon said straight up rhonda CANT walk forward on the champ. She HAS to show footwork. ZERO. Thats the same flaw holly exposed. They didn't even attempt to fix it.

    I mean.... we dont even know what ronda is or was based on this. I hope she takes a new coach and comes back. Maybe she doesnt.

    She made 3 mil for that.

    Im annoyed for ronda.

    She looked about as good as CM Punk.

    She has to retool and come back. She cant go out like that

    Steroids ass cyborg would literally kill her in the ring.

    You jest? is that for real?

    edit- I find myself not believing that all she accomplished was that weak. Its like 20 years of mens MMA distilled in 14 fights- ie the game caught up to her.

    edit edit- no double leg attempt?

    It's not the game it's her coaching. She has the talent and athleticism but her coaching relied only on her talent and athleticism and she reached a plateau.

    It seemed like Cruz got away from his style a bit. Whenever he would get hit, his pride would make him want to try and get one back, but then he'd get hit again. Hats off to Cody, he looked amazing.

    I feel a little sorry for Ronda, that was a bad loss. Not as bad as the Holly fight, but still pretty humiliating.

    I'd say that was a lot worse than the holly fight.

    100% worse. She got hit by holly and kept coming. She got hit here and FROZE.
    mentally she may not have it anymore.

    I feel the Holly finish was worse because she faceplanted like a mannequin falling over.

    Who knows, if the fight wasn't stopped, maybe she was on her way to doing the same in this one too.

    Nunes called out Edmond criticizing him for convincing Ronda she can box and was critical of him at the post fight press conference.
    Everyone hates that dude.

    It may have just been my imagination, but it seemed like Faber was staring enviously at that kid when Cody put the belt around him.

    had a feeling it would happen, and someone already has the fight up on YouTube (fight was so short they'll likely skirt copyright with how they added music). That right hook, and the desperate attempt to call the fight before Rousey fell to the ground in completely dashed Hollywood hopes, UFC should be smart and try and prop up Joanna

    Ronda's mom has been hating on Edmond for years now. Ronda should have listened to her.

    She would have done better at literally any other fight team in the country. Pick one - any one - and it would have been better for her career. She wouldn't even have needed to leave California if she didn't want to. There is King's MMA, AKA, Alliance MMA...she can do so much better than Glendale Fight Club.

    At this point, she either has to retire or change camps. Those are the only two options. People know her game now: Keep distance and avoid her clinch and you can destroy her from range because her striking, head movement and footwork are all garbage. Unless she's going to work with someone that is going to fix those deficiencies, she is better off never entering a cage again. Her one trick worked for a while, but it's over now.

    If her own mother can't convince her to change coaches, no one can.

    It's really unfortunate.

    I agree that she either needs to change coaches or just walk away entirely. There's a ton of other stuff she can do with her life.
