Rowdy Ronda Rousey

[jimnyc]

She does it again, beats the crap out of Beth Correia in 34 seconds. This was the woman who was going to take the belt from Ronda, and talked smack for eons prior to this fight. She said Ronda only has ground skills and wouldn't fight her standing up fist to fist. Well, Ronda came at her fist to fist in the middle of the octagon. Fought her backwards to the fence and continued to pummel her and the ref called it at :34. She's still undefeated, and now Correia has one loss.

Speaking solely about being in the octagon - I'll bet she can kick the ass of anyone posting here!! She's a badass. Here's a dumbass that thought it would be cool to have her give him a hip toss. I think his broken rib made him realize it wasn't a great idea. (towards the end)

This woman is one bad ass, my goodness the woman she was fighting looked to me on more steroids then anyone I have ever seen before, but she pissed Rhonda off when she spoke about suicide and put her Dad down, Rhonda said she wanted to beat her in the most embarrassing way she could, and she did, in front of her home crowd, I think Rhonda could be my new wife, man talk about having it made, a body guard that looks good as well.

Y'all dudes need to put your peckers back in your pants. She can be beaten. Half her game is a mind trick. Tyson was the same back in the mid-80s. You go in expecting to lose.

Not that I'd ever want to fight a woman but I would bet my life she would not kick my ass.
And she would not slug it out with me like she does the women. My punches knock badass men out.
And she is not a 6'7" 240/260 pound badass man. Ive fought such..
When fighting a great wrestler one never lets the wrestler wrestle! You do that by throwing accurate punches that have to be defended against. And you make them count. Thats the extremely important part--making them each count. Must be the first-est with the most-est, learned that over 45 years ago.
There are some tricks to knowing where to hit to knock out an opponent, break a jaw or even kill them with a proper hit to the throat.
Don't get me wrong I like her and her fighting abilities a lot. --Tyr

Don't bet on it Gabs, know don't get me wrong I am sure she could kick my old tired butt, but when I work the magic in the bedroom she will be purrin like the little kitten all woman have locked up in them, a good man gets that kitty to come out and has it purring with great appreciation . :thumb:


(and in case that doesn't work maybe she will just feel sorry for me and be nice out of pity. ) :laugh2:

She's really not all that special. There's just no competition. Every fight of hers I've seen these other women try to go in and beat her at her own game instead of making her fight theirs.

And pay no attention to the tyr in the corner. He'd get his ass whipped.:laugh:

Guess I'm old-fashioned. I don't like to see women fight like this. It actually upsets me, and I think in doing things such as this, we have lost all hope of being treated with any gentleness by men. Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong time.

Not likely but if you feel she is more than a match for you then do not cast that insecurity onto me.
I have great one shot knock out power that most men can not match yet you cry she has no competition but then try to claim her tougher than me. Such contradictions ill suit you amigo.

[Solo]

Im an mma fan and a Rhonda Rousey fan, I knew she would beat Correia but I thought it would go longer.

Rousey really wants a fight with Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino, she was considered the best female MMA in the world and still is at her weight. Rhonda wants her big time, but Cyborg fights at a natural 145 and Rousey at 135. Rousey wants Cyborg to come down in weight 10lbs which is huge at those weight class'. So far Cyborg hasnt budged.

Anyone can be beaten, and after watching a post fight special on both Rhonda and the Brazilian girl I was afraid this may be the one to get her, as for the head games, hell most fights are won and lost before the fight starts, but this Brazilian chick looked tough as nails and even made fun of Rhonda's Dad and apparently there is a reason that was made a big deal of.

Bro no offense, I am sure in your hay day you where bad ass and I am sure you can still hold your own, but this girl works out harder than I did when I was 20, her stamina alone I believe would get us, she is a athlete, and yes for a female she is strong as a bull, female or not ya have to give her credit.


She's really not all that special. There's just no competition. Every fight of hers I've seen these other women try to go in and beat her at her own game instead of making her fight theirs.

As for her competition, this Brazilian girl was also undefeated and man she looked more like a man than most men I know do, I am sure she pumped more roids into her butt than Lyle Alzado did, these 2 hated each other and the Brazilian whooped two (not sure about the third ) of the girls Rhonda works out with, they call her and her friends the 4 horseman and after each victory the girl would hold up 4 fingers and then put one down, letting Rhonda know she was the last to be beaten.

You can say what ya want but I give this girl credit, I think she is tough as nails and works extremely hard to keep in shape, there is no doubt this isn't a show for the cameras, they are fighting and at this point Rhonda has destroyed anyone she has been put up against.

Again Tyr given it being a street fight or if we go back 20 years I would bet on ya, but just going by my personal health these days and how I feel when I get up, I would have to lay my money on Rhonda, even if she has no real competition the girl works extremely hard everyday and deserves respect if nothing else just for that.

Tyr is a Bro not quite a Brother but thanks, it isn't usual I get called normal. :laugh:
^^^ Thanks amigo.
Brothers are blood, bro's are friends one respects greatly, sometimes even may admire.
Yet I've told several here in the past that you remind me very much of my older brother ,Jessie.

As to the fight discussion one must go in with this attitude- "I WILL WIN THIS OR ELSE DIE"!
That attitude helped me defeat at least a dozen guys or so( truly bad-ass guys)that I should never have been able to do so otherwise. And still I had my ass beaten a few times but never by JUST ONE OPPONENT...A-FACT--
NOTE-(FACT DOES NOT INCLUDE, the times I fought my much tougher older brother, (last fight age 19),
I finally put some sweet damage on him( :beer:).
Problem was he put a lot more on me and didn't even break a sweat. We have discussed that fight many times and he always say-"damn I never put out TOO much when fighting you because you are my brother"!
THEN ADDED, " HOW many guys have I broken their nose, jaw , or knocked teeth put, knocked them out with one hit? I answered , lost count after the first dozen.
Then he replied, "do you think you didn't get that result because I couldn't deliver it?
Remember in our every fight how I was laughing. (which was true and pissed me off even more)
I finally saw that he was actually telling the truth of the matter.
Then he added, as far as tough goes--you are one tough bastard but I got more Dad in me than you do-deal with it--older brothers are lucky like that! -Tyr

Loving the usual macho male posturing in this thread. My guess is that no one in this forum could last a minute in the ring (or, in Jeff's case, the bedroom :cool:) with Rhonda Rousey. You aren't in shape and you don't know techniques.

Techniques and strategy are an important part of martial arts. I learned this while watching my best friend Lauren prepare for a kick boxing match in England. It is much less brute strength than tactical preparation.

Going back several years, Lauren was working out when a Navy Seal asked to spar with her. (Because he is a guy and she is very :boobies: ). Refused to wear a helmet because hey he was a macho Navy Seal dude and wasn't taking it seriously.
She ended up breaking his jaw.

And nice story but I'm calling bullshit. I just find it beneath me and not worthy of mention to beat up on some weak ass chick. I could lay on top of Rhonda Rousy and her 135 lbs ass couldn't get me off of her.

I used to kickbox. BIG difference between that and MMA.

What kind of mindset do you 0have to have to feel threatened by a girl?

[gabosaurus]

There is no relation between kickboxing and MMA or boxing. It is primarily a health related activity. Though the one kick boxing match I went to was pretty mean ass violent. You have to be a really good shape to do that.

None of you guys are in good enough shape to be fighting anyone who is younger and in prime condition. But you are free to continue to believe that you are. :cool:

#1 I admitted she would whoop me, and I would probably enjoy it, and as for the bedroom, that would be one jam up minute . :laugh::laugh::laugh:

AS for your story I call BS as well, these Navy Seals are bad ass, they are trained in hand to hand combat ( not just kick boxing ) now with that said a lucky shot , who knows maybe, I just find it hard to believe.

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

What kind of mindset do you 0have to have to feel threatened by a girl?
I have not a clue.
Just answered Jim's comment when he stated she could beat any guy here. Also , I am not the one
that made the claim that she could beat you or any other guy here, Jim was.
Why would anybody feel threatened by her? Does she ever bare knuckle street fight for the hell of it?
Trust me on this , I know at least a dozen guys that would spank her like a child in bare knuckle street fighting--no gloves = no rules.-- ---
I was paid to fight that way and it was with guys often 80 to 100 pounds bigger, heavier than me.
Just let me know when she ever defeats two guys on the street fighting to kill her.
I've done that , parking lot behind the club, decades ago . ..
She is great for what she does under the rules she gets to use. Outside the ring with no gloves, she would not last with manyguys I know.
Some people here are mixing up the two different levels of fighting, I am not one that is doing that nor am I trying take a cheap shot at anybody here. - - TYR

Dude, you don't know how close your upbringing has been to mine. My sister and I went to a high school where Anglos were the minority. And way too many kids thought they were bad asses. My now brother in law enrolled us in an unofficial "class" where you were taught every dirty trick in the book.
Rule No. 1 -- the only "fair fight" is one where you have the advantage. If you are attacked, your life may be on the line. It's you against them. If someone is going to die, it shouldn't be you.
It doesn't matter if I am a small woman (which I am) against a large man. If I kick you just under the knee cap, you are going down. If I catch you square in the balls, you are going down. If you hit someone in the right spot in their chest, you can stop their breathing and maybe their heart. Hit them square in the temple and cause massive brain damage.
Not to mention gouging their eyes with your nails, biting and screaming in their ear.

I put my daughter through the same course. She is normally very friendly and polite, especially toward adults. But I have told her to be suspicious of everyone. And if someone threatens or attacks you, fight like it is your life against their. If only one person leaves alive, it should be you.

Best knock out point on the face is right between the eyebrows, temple hit can kill as well as a proper throat punch.
Broke noses can cause breathing problems in a prolonged fight but best to knock the opponent out as quickly as possible.
I was in 9th grade when they integrated our schools-the black guys came in looking for blood. My dad died that year and I was in no mood to take shit off anybody. I had three fights within a 2 month period(all three much older black students), got expelled had to go to a school another town 5 miles away.
Always, ALWAYS fight like your life depends on it--anything less and you may lose and pay a very dear price(even up to death).Tyr

[Perianne]

The couple of times I got in a fight, I just hit her in the face as much as I could. It didn't take many times until she quit. I always wondered what would have happened if I had fought a really tough girl. Now I am too old to fight and have no desire. But if someone messed with my family I would still fight. My husband taught me how to fight.

[Solo]

I am an MMA fan, having said that Rhonda Rousey may be the best woman fighter in the world and she certainly is in her weight class. BUT !!!

The considered female mma fighter as best in the world is Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino, she is a vicious knockout fighter and her record is 14-1 most all TKO wins.

Rhonda wants to fight her badly the problem is weight class. Rousey is 135 lb class and Justino is 145lb class. Rousey wants justino to drop 10lbs to fight her. When you have no body fat at 145lbs to lose 10 lbs you have to lose muscle a huge disadvantage.
Justino has countered with a compromise at both fighting at 140, so far no decsion by the MMA.

Why Ronda Rousey needs 'Cyborg'
No matter how good Ronda Rousey looks on Saturday in dismantling unbeaten challenger Bethe Correia at UFC 190 in Rio de Janeiro – and yes, the women's bantamweight champion will unquestionably dismantle her Brazilian rival – it's not going to be enough to silence her most ardent critics.
This is a case where Rousey is helpless.




Unless she faces, and defeats, Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino, there will always be an asterisk next to Rousey's record. Rousey is so far ahead of the rest of the field, it's become something of a joke. The debate before her fights has become how quickly she'll end it, not whether she'll win.

Justino is the only fighter who can reasonably expect to have a chance against Rousey.


http://sports.yahoo.com/news/why-ronda-rousey-needs--cyborg--justino-205936737.html

[gabosaurus]

I've never gone looking for a fight. I've been goaded a few times, but I've refused to take the bait. I think spoiling for a fight is a primarily male thing. I get along well with anyone who gets along with me.

Among my female friends, the only one who has been in a fight like that was Lauren. She was walking through Liverpool and a guy tried to take her from behind. She tripped him, then backed off to allow him to get up. When the guy came at her again, she caught him with a leg kick square to the face. He went down and hit his head on the pavement.
I know all this because the guy's mom took Lauren to court. Claimed she attacked him. Court documents say the fellow is now confined to a wheelchair and needs a feeding tube.
In America, the guy might have had a chance. The Brits threw the case out.

I think I said that. The problem with MMA is if you have more than one attacker, your ground skills don't mean squat. You can wrestle only one person at a time. Now if you're schooled in Mitsubayashi Shorin-ryu, multiple attackers ain't sh*t.

Mixed martial arts in its current form bears little resemblance to kick boxing. It's like comparing cricket to baseball.

I'm well aware of that since I've done both. I started out boxing, then kickboxing, and caught the very beginning of MMA before I figured out they all had ears like Alfred E. Newman. Not to mention I was in my 40s by then.

I'll go out on a limb and say I'm a tad more up on fighting skills than you. What do you think Marines do all day? Almost ALL of us know one or more martial art. We're trained in close combat, and hand to hand combat, and I'd like to know which Marine on this board hasn't done at least one tour on the Rock. You got several choices there ... alcoholism, finding God, SCUBA diving and/or finding an Okinawan shorin-ryu or shorei-ryu school that will accept your unworthy ass for training.

Most of us mix the karate with weekend alcoholism.:laugh:

After WWII when the US outlawed all Japanese martial arts they got created. Ju-do is the sport form of ju-juitsu. Karate-do is the sport form of karate-juitsu. Ken-do was the original samurai form of Ken-juitsu. Tae Kwon Do is the (Korean) form of Tang Soo Do which originated in the Kingdom of Silla, which was North Korea and it was called tae guek.

The dance the Chines made out of Tai CHi? Result of the emperor banning all martial arts. They took the yang out and perform only the yin and turned it into a dance. That's how they got over. You add the yang back in, it's a formidable martial art.

So I'm not all that impressed with Rhonda Rousey. As I already said, she's got no competition. Most women I know don't want to be guys. And I prefer they aren't. When somebody comes along willing to work as hard or harder than she, she'll go down. Tsun Tzu ... Art of War ... meet the enemy where they live.

True, she cannot beat a man, but she has defeated all her female competitors. Isn't that all that can be asked of her?

I don't want her to beat a man. That is irrelevant to me. I knew female Marines that were scary. She could honestly, probably beat a lot of men in weight class. I'm not trying to make this a pissing contest. I weigh 80 more pounds than she does and I can still see my belt buckle and my toes. (That means I'm mostly muscle).

My point with her is she's been hyped to the max by that skin-head that obviously went on 'roids from his day in comedy to pimping MMA. Dana whatever. I can tel you a couple of things. Managers pick fights to protect their fighters. Somebody almost as good but not quite.

Rousey's biggest advantage is she's undefeated. That plays on the mind of the challenger. One mistake and it's over. They're overly-cautious and she's overly-aggressive. It'll take someone that can overcome that to beat her.

My biggest problem with the whole thing is Dana dipshit pimping her for all she's worth. He'll dump her ass in a second the first time she loses and I have a problem with promoters like that. Not that I know few. I hope she saves her money because you're always going to lose. And the promoters might go for the "rematch of the century" but that's their last payday. Then you go to mid card.

Oh yeah, and he was against women in the MMA to begin with.

I'm voting for Rousey v. Trump. :)

I remember seeing her this past Wrestlemania, when she got in the ring with the Rock. Of course, they do a thing of her putting Stephanie in a hold, and pushing her out of the ring, but then, she grabs Hunter and throws him. The thing with the Hunter throw, though, if you watch the slow-mo or see freeze-frames, Hunter did throw himself, and you can see the dumbest look of shock on Rock's face as she throw HHH through an actual hiptoss, not selling a hip toss.

Well yeah, pro wrestling is a different art unto itself. Most of the throws are controlled by the person being thrown. Professional wrestling is about putting on a show without getting hurt. If someone actually gets hurt, THAT is an accident. If you've ever been in a ring, you know it's harder to NOT hurt someone than to clock them. Anyone who thinks pro wrestlers are just "fake" needs to get a clue. I don't know how you fake landing on a table from the top ringpost.

And I haven't watched pro wrestling in 20 or more years. I have some 60s and 70s DVDs from when I liked pro wrestling as a kid. The carnival they have now is ridiculous.

And FYI, Triple H is married to Stephanie McMahon. He probably wrote the script that got his ass kicked.
