Gazz Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 If Ronda's not done, she needs to leave Glendale. She got knocked the fuck out, took a year off and came back still flat footed, overbalancing forward when throwing punches, chin up with zero head movement and no defensive striking guard. I seriously question if she even spars striking during her training, because she still looks like she has absolutely no idea how to not get hit and no idea what to do when she does.

gunnar hendershow Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Ronda is done. She stuck with a bad coach as everyone in women's MMA started to pass her by. She's extremely one-dimensional by today's standards. She got a 3 million purse to lose in a matter of seconds, so she's not hard up for cash. She'll go around and do movies and and that will be that. I saw someone compare her to Matt Hughes, who came in early on and dominated before the crop of fighters chasing him all surpassed him. It was pretty apt I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it just makes me sad Ok after seeing the clips I have changed my mind. That was kinda awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Daymn. Happy for Nunes, she seems pretty standup, but daymn. Ronda legit hasn't improved since the Liz Carmouche fight, sticking with that dolt Tarvidaryan ruined her. Sucks that Garbrandt beat Cruz though. Fairly good night of fights overall though.

Benjamin Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 The difference in how Ronda faces defeat and Cruz does really shines a bad light on her. Just unfortunate that she decided to stick with Edmund, but after the first striking exchange, she had already been rocked like mad and it was basically over as soon as it began. She should have tried getting into grappling range ASAP possible, I don't know if it's Edmund who created the gameplan or what, but that was just bad. She's only 29! She should be evolving like crazy, not getting stuck in a rut, thinking she can skip the basics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Buscher Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Rousey ended up getting paid $62,500 per second. Great work if you can get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 In a sport where the fans are constantly clamouring that the athletes should be paid more, people bitching about how much Ronda made is fucking stupid. The problem isn't how much she got, the problem is how little the rest (especially Nunes) got paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalaCloudy Black Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Wasn't her purse only like, $200k? That's insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Fight/Win pay was $200k, but she got a percentage of the PPV number as well, a number to which her name would have contributed approximately 1% of the buys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalaCloudy Black Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Is there any truth to Todd Grisham replacing Mike Goldberg, or is that just Grisham fucking around on his Twitter? He's changed his handle to GrishamMMA and his bio says something like "From WWE to Glory to UFC". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draevyn Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Not sure who Pro Wrestling Sheets is but they confirmed it. Whether or not he's replacing Goldberg is debateable as the most that has been said is he's joining the commentary team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidMarrio Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Will that mean Jon Anik and Joe Rogan commentating the PPVs for the mean time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieG Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 That's not confirmed yet. Grisham will actually be working the desk for the next Fight Night, not play-by-play (yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Russo Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 9 hours ago, Davidmarrio said: Will that mean Jon Anik and Joe Rogan commentating the PPVs for the mean time? That's the intention, yes. As for Grisham, he will be doing PBP on some FS 1 cards, which I'm guessing is to take the load off of Anik as he fills in for Goldberg.
