And Dan Miragliotta costs me money .... had Means winning by KO and the ref blows it because he doesn't know the rules he referees for.

 

[Obliterator]

Either way after this fight ends there will be chaos. Lots of "See I told you so's" going in either direction. Should be fun times

 

[Phoenix RISING]

Nunes is a monster on the ground? Idk about all of that. Unless she rocks you first, she does have nice finishing ability. Off of her back she's looked vulnerable her whole career.



Conor is a bigger draw than Rousey both at the gate and on PPV

Lol.

Remember Conor McGregor? He only has like the top 3 or 4 highest grossing UFC PPV's of all time. Ronda's #'s aren't even close. Tonight is going to be pretty big though.

According to Wikipedia, Rousey was still tracking ahead in 2015 and then she got knocked TF out. THEN MMA turned to McGregor.

Misha Tate is impressing me on the panel. She just retired from the sport and is already a natural commentator

Rousey got established earlier than Conor did. He's just kept rising. I mean either way he's bigger than her until she proves she is bigger now. Conor has the MMA gate record and the PPV record.

Yep she's doing really well

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

I know what the rules say but I still consider that a win for Means. That rule is dumb

 

[alr1ght]

It will be overturned to a NC.

 

[PsychoMantis]

I thought the rule was that if anything other than the feet touched the ground, the opponent was grounded and the new rule change made it so that if you have one hand it doesn't count. If that's the case a single knee would still be considered grounded, or am I misinterpreting?

 

[Rhaknar]

this starts in 2 hours correct? the main card

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

Brandon Thatch has been a total bust, but I still hope he wins this fight

this starts in 2 hours correct? the main card

Yep

 

[Chumley]

prelims are live

 

[Kacho]

Mike Goldberg.

 

[Yeoman]

See ya in a few hours.

Alright I'll take the bait.
I'm in the UK so I won't be watching this fight but I'll be here to witness the aftermath of Ronda ending Nunes in the morning.
So I'll see you in a couple of hours too
And as a side note - seriously I want nothing more than for Amanda to win but I really think Ronda will dominate her.

 

[alr1ght]

Thatch will either win or lose in spectacular fashion.

 

[Kacho]

lol Thatch

 

[Obliterator]

Thatch is one of those dudes I wanted to see do well but man, he sucks

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

I miss thinking Thatch was the next big thing

 

[PsychoMantis]

Brandon Thatch has been a total bust, but I still hope he wins this fight

He really needs to, gotta imagine he'll get cut after 4 losses in a row.

-e: looooool

 

[Wallach]

get a haircut price, what the fuck

nice triangle choke though

You should really just stick to what you wish for. Because that is the more likely outcome than the hype of Ronda Rousey. Good luck.

 

[Macattk15]

Lol just cut Brandon Thatch. Guy is a huge disappointment.

 

[Chumley]

Thatch fucked that up so badly, lmao

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

A few years back I predicted Thatch vs Albert Tumenov was the next great rivalry at 170

I couldn't have been more wrong

 

[Aiii]

I don't know what is going on with Price's hair, but it's triggering me something fierce.

 

[LAM09]

I expect Ronda will take a massive break if she loses tonight.

Hate to be that asshole but can anyone shoot me a pm on watching this?

 

[Chumley]

What a bad haircut

Am I the only Optimum customer who is currently experiencing an FS1 outage?

Edit: Back up. Good job, good effort OOL.

 

[LAM09]

Lol!

Can't keep Hollywood waiting.

Snacks = GO
Food = GO

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

I think Ronda is very talented and give her a good shot to win tonight but...

The fact she retreated into her bubble the last year with Edmund and Travis Browne doesn't bode well. If she does win tonight, it will be despite her camp and counsel. Edmund is a con artist and it was only a matter of time before his bullshit affected Ronda in the ring.

 

[Chesskid1]

i remember before all her fights ronda used to say if i lose all this [success] goes away

 

[The Beard]

You should really just stick to what you wish for. Because that is the more likely outcome than the hype of Ronda Rousey. Good luck.

Ronda has defeated 3 of the 4 women that Nunes has lost to, and fucking quickly. If you combine all 3 of those matches, it took Ronda less than 1 minute to finish all 3.

Ronda is more than a hype machine, she's fucking legit.

MMA math, but come on, man.

Ronda is getting a guaranteed $3 million dollar fight purse win or lose plus PPV points for those interested

Was literally posting this and something told me to refresh, that's a lot of mula.

@bokamotoESPN
Per NSAC, Ronda Rousey's disclosed fight purse tonight is $3 million. No win bonus. Amanda Nunes is $100k/$100k.

More disclosed purses. Cruz 350k, Cody 200k, Lineker 43k/43k, Dillashaw 100k/100k.
Good to see TJ in particular get a good pay increase.

[Chumley]

Mother of god the Nunes pay by comparison is so embarrassing.

I want Nunes to smash her just for that. Fuck me.

 

[samar11]

If she loses this fight I don't think we will hear from her again lol

Nunes doesn't deserve anywhere near the pay Ronda does. If she was headlining this vs some random we would be looking at 150k buys. Instead with Ronda it will be 800k+

 

[SyNapSe]

Garcia looks huge

 

[Wallach]

these prelims where you get commercials between fights and commercials during fights are pretty fucking annoying

and apparently they want to crank up the number of main cards on FOX in a couple years

by then they will probably literally play one of the rounds on the next EA UFC game instead of in the ring

 

[Aiii]

3 million and she doesn't even have to stay around for half a minute to answer a question by Joe Rogan. Well done, Ronda, you got them in your pocket.

I mean, Ronda is a much bigger deal whether we like it or not.

Nunes is an idiot for agreeing to this deal, I hope she loses because of it. She should be getting 3 mill and Rousey 100,000. She doesn't realize she is giving Rousey the shot, not the other way around.
