This is your friendly reminder that Ronda's lead coach's specialty is supposed to be his boxing.

 

[Master Thespian]

She attempted one clinch and a toss but Amanda shrugged them off like nothing. In many ways this is a perfect replay of the early UFC days. Happened with Gracie, the Machida era and Silva.

GTFO

Silva didn't get exposed, he got old. He was a speed striker that beat all comers until he was almost 40.

 

[N° 2048]

That is a beautiful snap.

beautiful champ

This is your friendly reminder that Ronda's lead coach's specialty is supposed to be his boxing.

Edmund also said he could beat Aldo rofl

 

[Maoyama]

Does anyone think Nunes is really that good?

Its all about matchups. I dont think she would be able to beat Holly in the same way.

 

[shwimpy]

So UFC's just gonna sweep Goldie under the rug? kinda fucked up there was nothing for his last show.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Ronda reacts the way I would if I was being punched in the face, complete flailing befuddlement.

 

[FUME5]

Does anyone think Nunes is really that good?

I can't remember the last time someoene gave their opponent the old one two to such success.

 

[NYR]

She has a lot of money, but that doesn't really matter once you've lost the one thing that has given your life meaning and purpose. I also think calling a woman a "joke" who won 12 straight fights before losing one is way off base.

She fought TIN CANS! Stop falling for the marketing, this division had basically no talent outside of Tate, almost no women were training to be MMA fighters at the time, a couple of years later, you have people with real skill and talent in the division who fuck people like Ronda up who can't throw a punch or defend. Ronda's second MMA fight was in a fucking casino.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

What was she even trying to do while she was getting destroyed? At one point it looked like she was trying to rearrange her hairdo. Her brain must've been swimming around her head like a piece of chicken in a broth.

Exactly, she's a grappler. Si why the hell didn't she play to her strength. This is the UFC, not boxing. What was her coach thinking?!

 

[smokeymicpot]

Road House remake on indefinite hold.

I'm still baffled by what I just saw. The fuck did they do to prepare for this fight? She just stood there getting rocked. At least she tried to get Holly down a couple times. Nothing here.

I guess that Tyson quote applies here.

Hope so.

 

[onadesertedisland]

God those are such awful strikes, even for training. Just shit form, sloppy, slow, ugly.

 

[Obliterator]

Oh, my friend. The big bets are the ones you don't hear about. Which is why you lost. All of the hype was built for Ronda. But make no mistake, it was off the books and on her retirement. Which you will hear about after the new year.

I lost? I picked Cody to win tonight I think I'm alright. And I said Ronda might get KO'D in Rd 1.

And no quite literally the big money bets were in favor of Ronda

From Vegas: Twice as many tickets on Nunes but more than 2x as much money on Rousey. All the big bets + sharp bets are coming in on Rousey.

[Rumblebones]

Here we go.

Nunes (KO)
Garbrandt (KO)
Dillashaw (KO)
Kim (DEC)
Borg (DEC)

Damn you, Cruz and Lineker, and your iron chins.

 

[brentech]

the funny thing is Nunes wasn't advertised at all leading up to the fight until Rogan said something about it on Twitter.

now that Ronda is out maybe the UFC should have a spotlight on the other fighters that are more well rounded.

All aboard the Joanna train!

 

[Kacho]

I mean at best right now she gets work in the WWE, but what's her draw there? How do you sell it. She got knocked out twice and people WILL remember that.

As far as movies go. Outside of the odd role or two. She aint headlining shit. She can't act and she'll be known in the short term and a loser and baby about it all.

That's what I'm saying. Her career was build on being an ultimate badass and she's obviously not anything close to that so what's the sell to the public at this point beyond name recognition?

That was brutal to watch and hopefully she doesn't call it quits now cause that would be a horrible way to go out

 

[Chumley]

Holly is in a 2 fight losing streak and is witching weight devisions

Not much Juice their IMO

There would have been if she won at 208.

Would have.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Dana must be pretty pissed. Ronda vs Holly the rematch probably could have broken some records if Ronda had a win tonight.

Ronda did no media for this, and a lot of people speculated with how ridiculous that is for a star to do, the only way it'd be allowed was if it was basically acknowledged she was done if it didn't pay off.

Even if she ever fights in the UFC again, her main event days and title shot days are emphatically over now.

 

[NYR]

Does anyone think Nunes is really that good?

48 second fight, threw 47 punches.

Yeah, she made her statement, there is no doubt anymore.

 

[Plywood]

fuck, lmao

 

[cordy]

 

[sirap]

WTF is she smoking dwag..... lol

 

[Macattk15]

God damn. I am so happy she lost.

 

[3N16MA]

Is she still going to have her shitty attitude?

You're talking about an audience that still do CM Punk chants.

She'll be ok. XD

 

[SRTtoZ]

WTF is she smoking dwag..... lol

Edmond is a fraud. She needs a real coach, everything Ronda did in the UFC when she won was because of her Judo, never because of him.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Unfortunate about the pay disparity, but that was the easiest money Nunes will ever make. Rousey...not so much.

[Sweeney Tom]

It's hard for me to follow MMA because it seems like just when you think the sport has their one dominant star that everyone can root for, they either lose, get popped for steroids, or both. UFC needs a Lebron James or a Sidney Crosby. It doesn't have it. Where's one person dominating for 5-10 years?

Anderson Silva did this

GSP did this

Everyone falls or quits. That's life. Better to get the Ls out of the way

 

[RecRoulette]

Is she still going to have her shitty attitude?

Considering her mindset after she lost to Holm? Better have someone around her 24/7 to make sure she doesn't do anything stupid. No joke.

 

[Shao Kahn on the Lawn]

She has a lot of money, but that doesn't really matter once you've lost the one thing that has given your life meaning and purpose. I also think calling a woman a "joke" who won 12 straight fights before losing one is way off base.

Being dominant in an undeveloped division doesn't mean shit when you get annihilated by real competition once it arrives. She wasn't competitive against Holm or Nunes and this shows that it wasn't a fluke loss against Holm.

 

[Levito]

Called it. I knew if Ronda couldn't get a quick hip toss it'd be over. I dunno how people that watched that Tate fight would think any differently.



Cruz losing a decision to Cody though, what the fuck. Literally the last thing I thought would happen.

 

[Macattk15]

Why do they do these god damn single person post fight pressers now?

 

[SwolBro]

people are already meming the hell out of this

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Greg Jackson will have that belt back on Ronda in 12 months. Make the call, Ronda.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Ronda's second MMA fight was in a fucking casino.

This is the truth right here. It was all hype. She had no real competition and when she finally faced some she gets clobbered.

 

[Prophecy650]

😂😂😂 my man

 

[mercenar1e]

if Ronda decides to come back does the UFC give her another chance at the title or does she work her way up? whats she ranked now?

i think shes done if she has to work her way up.

 

[N° 2048]

God damn. I am so happy she lost.

Me too.

Is she still going to have her shitty attitude?

Probably.

Edmond is a fraud. She needs a real coach, everything Ronda did in the UFC when she won was because of her Judo, never because of him.

Again, the dude he could beat Aldo. He is fucking delusional.

lmao rizen is too hype. So anime right now.

 

[wumster3000]

It's really hard to watch. I actually think after an ass whooping like this, she should really think about moving one. This was absolutely embarrassing.

 

[StylesClash]

I still have to see Nunes fight more...I think Tate and Rousey took her lightly. Well Rondas head isn't in the game anymore but I think Tate overlooked her. I wanna see someone fight Nunes that takes the fight seriously. Then we will see how good Nunes is.

 

[FaintColt388301]

Is she still going to have her shitty attitude?

She never will. Probably bitter that somebody else let this happen to her. She's not humble in the least. Getting your ass kicked won't make you nice all of a sudden.

 

[Chesskid1]

holy shit

 

[PanSexual_Peacock]

A year off and she somehow got even worse. Edmund is truly something. Can't say I was shocked by the result. This was another terrible match-up for her.

 

[mercenar1e]

lmao rizen is too hype. So anime right now.

yeah wtf is this lol
