I think for a lot of them, after they get in a really tough fight it's hard to still be mad. N

Yep when you get in a scrap like that it's hard to still disrespect a dude. They put it all in there and make no mistake Cruz landed some shots on Cody too. They seem to have earned each other's respect

 

[parrotbeak]

This is such a ghetto production.

What the fuck is a Baruto?

That's what I was asking 2 days ago and then saw him lay and pray Tsuyoshi Kohsaka for 10 minutes.

 

[elrechazado]

The only storyline I see working for her is being humble having lost in UFC and wanting to build a career in WWE. Starting from the bottom and actually having her chops busted thinking she could just come in and dominate. But that would take:

A) Actual planning of a narrative from the WWE writers
B) Rousey actually being able to pull it off, and put the time in to learn to actually wrestle. Shit's hard.

In other words, it won't happen.

I dunno, she can clearly learn from her mistakes, just look at her boxing skills.

 

[Levito]

DYING

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

That Edmund audio has me dying

CLINCH CLINCH CLINCH CLINCH

NO NO NO NO

 

[Syder]

Garbrandt saying he'll give Cruz a rematch before Dillashaw.

 

[Kacho]

Cruz is the fucking man. He'll see the positive reaction to his fight and hopefully that gives him something to be positive about with this loss. Get back to the lab and get to work, man. You'll get that belt again.

 

[Chumley]

FUCK YES CRO COP!!!!!!

 

[Wallach]

lmao

baruto wasn't ready

 

[SRTtoZ]

Lol Cro cop murked him

 

[SwipeLeftHoney]

Cro Cop is ON FIRE!!!!

 

[bbd23]

Man cruz losing really hurt me but seeing rousey lose almost made up for it.

dillashaw looks great

 

[FUME5]

That's what I was asking 2 days ago and then saw him lay and pray Tsuyoshi Kohsaka for 10 minutes.

He took one hit to that gut and he's gone.

This is amazing.

Cro Cop is juiced to the gills.

 

[mercenar1e]

all that cushion and he couldn't handle a knee shot.

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

CRO COP

 

[plagiarize]

Carmella's mic skills are better than Ronda's.

That's saying way more than you think. Carmella's mic skills are up to snuff now a days. Her last appearance on talking smack was solid, as was her recent in ring promo.

 

[Cheetos is Pretty Awesome]

fuck yeah cro cop!!!

 

[Levito]

As a Cruz fan it was so hard to watch the co-main, but holy fuck dude is so cool still. Will forever be a fan.

 

[N° 2048]

CRO COP <3

 

[SRTtoZ]

It should have been over the second he turned around and literally ran away lol

 

[Obliterator]

Dana on FS1 now

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

HOLY SHIT cro cop is fuckin scary

 

[Obliterator]

Dana said people were crying when Rousey lost

 

[Pickman]

Cro Cop vs Baruto

Knew I saw this fight before.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

I dunno, she can clearly learn from her mistakes, just look at her boxing skills.

They could bring back that boxing thing they did! Great idea! Butterbean can still go, right?

 

[cordy]

That's saying way more than you think. Carmella's mic skills are up to snuff now a days. Her last appearance on talking smack was solid, as was her recent in ring promo.

Tbh. That heel turn did her wonders.

 

[parrotbeak]

I'm glad Crocop won but that was kinda Bob Sappesque.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Dana on FS1 now

Who???

 

[Kacho]

Dana: "She's a lot better than she was in the Holly Holm fight."

Huh? Does he mean after the fight?

 

[Ithil]

why would hollywood want her?
she tried and had two projects lined up for her first starring role but i think both got cancelled, rumour was that her acting was just too bad.

The big media frenzy around her when she was dominant has vanished, so the whole "get the popular sports figure in the movie, doesn't matter if they can't act" part vanished with it.
People like Rock or Arnold had staying power even if they were not gifted actors because they had immense charisma on screen, no such luck for Rousey.

 

[The Beard]

Man, Cruz is so well spoken he leaves me pondering life every time he talks.

I know, and his voice is like warm butter.

 

[FStop7]

I'm not going to shit talk Ronda but I will shit talk Edmond. That guy is absolute poison and he's ruined two careers in the space of a year.

Dana said people were crying when Rousey lost

People named Dana.

 

[Chumley]

Dana: "She's a lot better than she was in the Holly Holm fight."

Huh? Does he mean after the fight?

Uhhh he must mean how she's receiving it

 

[vypek]

Dana: "She's a lot better than she was in the Holly Holm fight."

Huh? Does he mean after the fight?

I assume so. Like she isn't as despondent as she was after the Holm fight is my line of thought

 

[ironcreed]

Good night. About all I have left to say.

 

[Machina]

Ronda isn't feeling so Rousey. Does she have any idea what hit her? Probably Nune....

 

[Jmanunknown]

I gotta say I'm alot more impressed with how Amanda is learning how to use range. She's much better than even 3 fights ago in that regard. She keeps people right at the very end of her punches

Its hard to believe this is the same Amanda Nunes who lost to Alexis Davis in Strikeforce she has come along way. She has always been a well rounded fighter its that she gasses out in later rounds and her striking is way beyond what it used to be. She is without a doubt the most complete female mixed martial artist I have seen fight.

 

[NYR]

Dana: "She's a lot better than she was in the Holly Holm fight."

Huh? Does he mean after the fight?

pfffft, he is still promoting her. The female Roman Reigns.

 

[Obliterator]

Dana says TJ vs Cody is likely next

That fight will be NUTS

 

[Archaix]

Dana said people were crying when Rousey lost

Dana and the UFC execs are people, too.

 

[N° 2048]

"I could have spent 100 million dollars on the promotion for Nunes and people still wouldn't know who she is."
He literally just said that on FS1.
Fuck off, Dana.

He clearly didn't think she would win and now it's, "Now people know who she is."

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Dana said people were crying when Rousey lost

Nice of Dana to give Edmund a mention.

 

[NYR]

"I could have spent 100 million dollars on the promotion for Nunes and people still wouldn't know who she is."

Fuck off, Dana.

He clearly didn't think she would win and now it's "Now people know who she is."

What a fucking piece of shit.

 

[mercenar1e]

Dana said people were crying when Rousey lost

the people that bought the UFC.

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

Dana said people were crying when Rousey lost

He and Edmund

 

[LAM09]

Ronda's time at UFC should be up. She was a complete mess.

 

[Tall4Life]

I will agree that the crowds would be against her, hence, book her as a heel, at least IMO.

This is the same company that had Lawrence Taylor main event a Wrestlemania. It isn't about experience. This is the same company that pushed Roman Reigns and he has no personality. Daniel Bryan is only 5'8 in a world of giants and was one of the most popular champs ever.

LT was still pretty much a mega star during that time. It was also in the New Generation era during a time where they had one of their worst drawinf champions ever in Diesel. I think Bret was out on injury. They had literally nothing else. Floyd vs Big Show didnt main event their Mania.

And also, Roman Reigns is a tremendous wrestling talent. His promos need work (and just better booking overall), but he is a tremendous wrestler. Bryan was a tremendous wrestler and had an innate charisma about him.

See, you can usually get by in WWE if you have one of the three - charisma, wrestling ability, and size, though for size, if you suck so much in the other two it really doesn't matter (Khali). The most successful wrestlers have a combination, and even the worst in WWE usually at least have one of them, even partially. Otherwise, they're gone.

Ronda has none of those three.

 

[ironcreed]

As a Cruz fan it was so hard to watch the co-main, but holy fuck dude is so cool still. Will forever be a fan.

Its called being a professional. Props as always to those who know how to act as such.

 

[Obliterator]

Dana and the UFC execs are people, too.

I think the word on the street is this event had the record number of women turn out. Despite what GAF/core think of Rousey she has a huge number of female fans so it's likely true

 

[RebornYeti]

Forget 'Fast and the Furious'. Ronda Rousey should have headlined 'Gone in 60 Seconds' instead
