The UFC thread

[kingwilly]

Don't think they have fought before.

ooops, my bad.

Rousey body looks harder than I seemed to remember.

agreed, but gym muscle vs octagon fitness and head space are two different things. She's always been a little bit of a fatty. But seems to have worked on her fitness.

Depends how long/much she has trained since her loss, what state her head is in .

Totally agreed.

She's doing zero promotion or talking, UFC must have been desperate to have her back, didn't Mac Gregor get kicked out of the UFC 200 card for not doing enough ..

Yep, and yep.

"Ronda Rousey’s return to the Octagon at UFC 207 will be a lucrative one for the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion. The reclusive fighter, who has said nary a word to the press leading up to her fight, will earn a disclosed purse of $3 million with no win bonus, according to documents from the Nevada Athletic Commission. Her opponent and current women’s 135 pound champ Amanda Nunes will make $100,000 to show and $100,000 to win"

Nunes needs a new agent. WTF!

Nunes needs a new agent. WTF!

It's all ratings based. There has been talk of a fighters' union.

the likes of CMG, Brock Lesner and Rhonda Rousey pull in millions, many others struggle to break even.

[Norton]

It's all ratings based.

Aka draw power but even so 200k for Nunes the champ if she wins vs 3mil just to show up for Rousey is way out of proportion.

I totally agree.

Some fighters are lucky to get 10 or 20K for a fight.

[Norton]

Nunes to win in a brutal ass kicking.

[kingwilly]

I think you might be correct. Sadly.

[aging one]

Smashed was Rhonda. 48 second total beat down. Over for RR now.

Good call Norts.

[Norton]

Over for RR now

Yep.

3 mil. 48 seconds. Good work if you can get it.

A case of overhype for RR and disrespect for Nunes.

I hope this stops Dana Whites giving his "stars" too freaking much money.

[longway]

And boom the over hyped rousey is gone. I didnt make 3 million from her disaster, but i did make a couple hundred quid.

[Norton]

^^Hope so as well but doubt it. It's all about the money in most sport these days.

Well, who would have known. thank you.

[longway]

Time to change her fighter nickname I think. Something like 'Lousy' Ronda Rousey.

[NZdick1983]

Disappointing to see such a poor showing from RR. Obvious she should not have been there. She is too robotic/one dimensional in her striking, with no head movement...

Perhaps if she would forget her ego and fight to her strength (i.e wrestling/submission game) then she would be in with a chance... to try to slug it out with pure strikers, is brave, but foolhardy.

Unfortunately, her time has passed, others have evolved and left her skill set sadly wanting... glad to see Cruz finally get beat... puzzle has been solved.

It was a great fight for RR as she took a quick, swift and brutal beating from the Brazilian and pocked 3 million buks.

Sadly for the rest of the world it was weak as piss.

Lineker had no answer for Dillashaws wrestling. I thought right near the end he was finally figuring out the timing, but it was far too late. So Garbrandt's first title defence will be against Dillawshaw. Aren't they team mates?

Smolka got smoked, borg looked amazing, fun to watch too.
