It would be the right move and would be a net positive for her prospects going forward, so of course she won't do it.

She ran home with her 3 mill. She is done with UFC forever, you will she her on Ellen in a couple of months.

My buddy said something about her telling Dana she would come to the post fight presser no matter what for ducking the other obligations, but he could be talking out of his ass.

This looks like someone who has never even been hit before trying to fight in the UFC for the very first time. That is how bad it is.
Yup. Pretty much what Luke Thomas was saying on his post fight show. What makes this so bad is the hype behind her. Yeah the UFC and Ronda made a boat load of money but yikes, not a good look.

Damn what a fall from grace for Rhonda.

Because she is a head case and threw her weight around.

I scrolled to the point where the .gif only showed the bottom half, from their waist down, and it tells as much of a story as the full image. From the stances, it looks like someone going to town on one of those inflatable punching stand-ups. Which isn't too far from the mark.

TJ vs Cody is going to be SO HYPE. I can't get over it. Maybe my most anticipated match up

If she had miracled her way through this fight with a victory, she could attribute the Holm loss to distraction.

Conor/Khabib
Garbrandt/Dillashaw
Won't happen as I see Conor taking a father vacation but who says that wouldn't be hot shit???
So she could be 100% focused on getting knocked the fuck out.

No way, it doesn't get any more embarrassing than this:
Nope. This fight was worse, she didn't even throw a punch, at least the Holm fight you can make an argument she wasn't ready for a fist fight or was distracted or at least hit a bit. 207 was one of the worst showings of all time, it will go down as one of the most one sided beat downs ever.

Yeah both those fights are straight FIRE.
Supposedly Conor has explicitly requested Khabib though

Amanda didn't even train for judo stuff because she knew she could just smash her.

Edmund is career suicide.
Nunes' purse will be bigger for sure, but her overall income for the fight might actually be smaller than tonight's, unless she gets put on another big card. If she's headlining a shit card like 208, her PPV cut will be nowhere near what it was tonight. She's nowhere near being a draw on her own yet, regardless of how hard the UFC promotes her.

UFC better get GSP back.......
Gosh Conor is now the only megadraw the UFC has. Which means he can basically do whatever he wants, even moreso than before.
I'd love for it to happen but this fighters association is putting a cap on that happening.

I can't wait for this fight, my god.
Agree, she learned absolutely nothing from the Holm fight.

I respect Dom Cruz so god damn much for his post fight press convo. He flat out admitted that was him at his best and he got outworked. So many other fighters would say they were injured / they had personal life problems. Cruz manned the fuck up and just said, hey dude Cody legit beat me.
Your a good ass dude Dom

Ronda's wins were always in the clinch. In this fight she made a very meager attempt to clinch but Nunes broke it easily. What did they do the entire camp? Stand up fighting for ego purposes?
I feel for her because I know she has mental issues and this could break her.

I disagree. She had over a year to improve and yet she came out looking even worse than before. At least in the Holm fight she managed to inflict a sliver of offense. Tonight, she did absolutely nothing.
Not a good look at all. But again, they made a shit load, which is the point. Her heart was never in a comeback and they knew she was done. They paid her a pile for this last hurrah, and those perceptive enough to pick up on how this bullshit works capitalized. Including Vegas on the dark side, FACT.
Yeah, dude is legit. I don't want an instant rematch though like Cody says he wants, give it to TJ and give Dom someone else.

I'm not even laughing at Ronda losing, the writing on the wall was there a long time ago when she kept Edmond and the rest of the yes men on her payroll.
No way, it doesn't get any more embarrassing than this:
This was much worse. She didn't throw anything and got instantly smashed. Against Holm it was a fighter getting outclassed, against Nunes it was a civilian getting annihilated.
Ninja Scooter is right, Nunes did exactly what she needed to do to get popular tonight.
Her coach is a snakeoil salesmen. If Ronda had gone to a gym like Tristar, she would've been WAAAAAAAY better. All of Edmund's fighters are getting starched lately.

I think Cody is just offering that up as a sign of respect for Dom considering how long Cruz has reigned over the division. But yes, 100% agree TJ vs Cody is the next fight to make, and it will be fucking crazy

This.
She has a very long way to go on the striking side but her ground game is where she is the strongest.
Why she and her camp insisted on striking is beyond me
