Yes, as she will fight all comers. They fed Tyson guys he could kill. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 11:01 12
- There's a cycle to this. The most recent fight was Michael Spinks-ish, because that chick was backpedaling the whole time. - David Aug 3, 11:28 7
  - I don't think Miesha Tate is scared per se...she just isn't talented enough. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 3, 11:29 6
    - I think what happened two years ago is a bit different than how she would act now. - David Aug 3, 11:32 2
      - Maybe...either way, Rousey is must-see just for the wow factor. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 3, 11:34 1
        
        I wish there had been social media when Douglas went toe to toe with Tyson. - David Aug 3, 11:39
    - yet, that was one of the more challenging fights Rousey had. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 3, 11:32 2
      - Right....Rousey is so far above her competition, it's not funny. I think Tate has gone 16 minutes in the 2 fights. - Will Hunting Aug 3, 11:33 1
        
        for sure, the one I watched had her pretty much in control the whole time... - groiny Aug 3, 11:35
- she sounds like Mayweather whenever someone asks her about fighting Cyborg -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 11:05 3
  - One of the differences being that she's talking about someone who actually tested positive. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 3, 11:58
  - She has *all* the leverage. Cyborg might have had some if she hadn't tested positive. - Will Hunting Aug 3, 11:28
  - Derisive and nonchalant? -- nm - David Aug 3, 11:27
She's a Cheryl Miller level of talent relative to the rest of her sport. - Will Hunting Aug 3, 10:46
My unanswered question from this week: Can Rousey fight some of the male UFC champions? *Should* she? -- nm - Mop Aug 3, 10:44 12
- She answered that pretty well. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 3, 12:03
- I'd give her a 5% chance against the male Champion at her weight, and that is likely high -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 10:48 7
  - Conor McGregor on Ronda Rousey: 'she would throw me on my head in one second flat' -- (link) - decline Aug 3, 11:04 2
    - Conor knows she makes the money for UFC. Build her up all he can. - Will Hunting Aug 3, 11:31
    - what's he going to say? that he'd kick the shit out of a woman? -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 11:06
  - Say that to her face. -- nm - Mop Aug 3, 10:59 3
    - sure. hopefully she isn't a lunatic who would attack someone -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 11:05 2
      - Outside of an Entourage movie -- nm - Roger More Aug 3, 11:21 1
        
        I think we're all for random assaults of Entourage cast members. -- nm - David Aug 3, 11:34
- there really is zero reason why she should even attempt to do this. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 3, 10:46 2
  - Bragging rights? A fancy new belt? -- nm - Mop Aug 3, 10:47 1
    - way more downside than up. I think she's said she tries to finish fast to avoid injury, which is also important for her acting career. -- nm - Max Aug 3, 10:48
Capablanca -- nm - Max Aug 3, 10:40 1
- Sausage. -- nm - Mop Aug 3, 10:42
yes -- nm - groiny Aug 3, 10:40
