Tate is going to trash Rhonda in the rematch. Tougher, better stand up and is totally inside Rhonda's head.
thats one scenario, more likely scenario is armbar finish round 1.
Did you watch the episode where Ronda shows her fighters how to scoot around on their backs? She's so far ahead of these girls physically, striking won't matter and Tate's last 2 fights involved her almost getting killed because of her stand up.
Zingano and McMann are the only ones that can compete with her imo.

Crazy things can happen in combat sports and in one where striking is involved, any fighter is a single punch or kick away from a W or an L. That being said though, Rousey's submission game seems so far above anyone in else in her division in the UFC, it's extremely hard for me to see her losing the fight.
But hey, that's why there are fights in the first place. Get em in the cage and let's see what happens.

As much as I love Tate, the only two things I think that can stop Hot Rod are Sarah McMann and the lure of being a B movie action star.

Whoever wins will lose to Cat, though Meisha was having her way with her till the 3rd round. I can't see Tate losing to an armbar again, I think shes got defense down. I gotta watch the first fight again, but from what I remember it was a competitive round till the finish.

Tate only wins if she doesnt start to recklessly throw strikes like a drug addict who got their shit stolen because she is gettin' hit awfully lot during these exchanges.
Id love Tate to win. I love her dearly.

Tate is getting smashed. The only thing she is good at is something Ronda is 100000x better than her at.

Is MW now the most stacked division?
GungHo
Single-handedly caused Exxon-Mobil to sue FOX, start World War 3
Oh God, it's at a casino 30 minutes from me..and that is in fact Scott "Hands of Steel" Smith. I...I may go to this.
Why is Ted Levine now doing MMA? It rubs the vaseline on its skin or else it gets the hose again?

What's your point?

Because he isnt winning or losing by strikes ever...well except that Ellenberger loss.
I'd still take LW just based on depth outside of the top 10. MW is a lot more interesting these days, that's for sure.

So he's not an exception to that fact. Nobody is immune to getting KO'd or TKO'd, which means there's always a chance of it happening. Just ask GSP.

GSP beat himself long before that fight. HE didnt lose that fight classically...he tapped. Everybody knows this...
Jest Chillin

Doesn't matter if he tapped or not. He lost due to strikes. And tapping to strikes is the epitome of lacking the heart/determination to fight back. The only difference between turtling in a ball getting punched til the ref steps in and tapping to strikes is that in the former you're at least taking your punishment.
Yeah I think LW and WW are the most stacked, but it does seem that mw has had a lot of new blood added into the mix lately
Georges says his finest hour was surviving NBK's kick to the dome.

I think LW has always been overrated...it's the deepest at the bottom, but pretty shallow up top. There are a ton of Gilbert Melendez level guys at WW
Some UFC fighters don't really have a puncher's chance. Most of them happen to be women, Tate being one of them.

I think it's just more about degrees/percentages. Sure guys like Shields aren't likely to KO/TKO someone but with the right circumstances, anybody can be rocked.

The UFC seems to be signing some regional cans fighters for their Singapore event.
One of whom is a fighter called Will Chope. A 6'4" featherweight whose fought 15 times in the last two years. I saw him fight in Taipei, and it's fucking ridiculous seeing a guy as tall as me at that weight.

Have you ever heard him speak? He sounds the same. He did an interview earlier in the week and he took a moment to throw up in his mouth before saying he's on good terms with Greg Jackson.

Advise me, bros, should I even buy a PS4 yet? I don't have a preorder and was planning on just going out this weekend to get one, but as I was looking at that list of launch games and the Target buy 2 get one Free deal, I couldn't think of 3 games I want. And that's with one of those games being free. I guess the top 2 games are Killzone and NBA. I know I will like NBA. Killzone not so sure. I though the PS3 versions were okay and the game obviously looks fantastic, but I feel like I want to play it first and get a feel for the controls to see if it will have any lasting power in multiplayer. If not that, then either BF and CoD are in play. BF i'm not too familiar with and it's always intrigued me but not being a PC player, I've never really been able to give it a fair shot. CoD is getting boring to me and the PS4 version is supposedly a shit port. Nothing else in the launch lineup really grabs me.

I think it's fair to wait a bit this gen. The launch lineups for both really are thin and couple that with the possibility of hardware failures on the first batch and it's not a bad move at all to wait awhile.
I plan on waiting a few months at least before I get my PS4. There's some cool F2P games and all but none of the other games really interest me. At least not until the stuff slated for Spring '14 and later.
