Holloway vs Pettis should be fireworks.

Apparently Cain won't be allowed to fight due to health issues ffs.

I have to admit I'm pretty hyped for Ronda's return, does she come back with the same dominance she always had or does she crumble from too much inactivity and a mental block from being deposed?

Cain is out confirmed. Time to retire.

Part of me thinks Ronda will storm Nunes and submit her in the 1st round and the other part thinks she will have flashbacks to Holm and crumble the first big shot she takes.

This.

It could really go either way, however .......... as long as Ronda has her head on right and is up for some heavy dose of vengeance then the first scenario is all but guaranteed.

If she comes in like a deer in headlights then all bets are off.

Jesus, Rousey absolutely massacred in 48 seconds. She is finished.

Nunes is ferocious.

You mean R.I.P. Ronda; the women's division will be fine.

Im not surprised. I called it months ago that she'd get killed by better stand up fighters. She needs a new coach or something.

LOL

Yeah think the 2nd one happened.

The net after the loss was a massacre, saw on one MMA forum someone say "Ronda is Royce Gracie but with tits".

I actually think Ronda's public implosions are bigger than Conor McGregor's wins lol.

How can you be that decorated of a MMA fighter and not even know basic boxing skills, like just moving your head? That is beyond mind boggling to me. Makes me question her whole career, and makes it seems like it was all just a lucky fluke!

Not really a fluke, just early days of it. Early UFC was also style vs style, the women just need to catch up, they've had less time for it. She has no self awareness. Her judo is phenomenal, take everyone down. Stop trying to stand.

I get early MMA when Gracie was winning because nobody knew back then how to defend that. But womens MMA was around for a while before it came to the UFC, and although what you say is still a part of it, it's still so hard to believe that even after she won a few, that she still didn't even learn to move her head. I learned bobbing and weaving from the movie Friday, certainly she should know this as well! :)

I agree with a lot of the commentators, as a former boxer myself Ronda's style looks like she thinks pad work is actual boxing acumen.

She actually engages like shes on the pads, head centered, no movement, throwing in the pocket with zero set up or angles.

Now her stand up has been exposed she's in serous trouble, she needs some of that old Randy Couture clinch tie up Greco then go from the clinch into Judo.

I noticed her going straight to Judo which Judo is a lot of grabbing, its too difficult to grab a moving target with no clothing who's punching you in the face straight down the middle .......... worst thing was she just kept trying the same approach (even though it wasn't working) that's the most concerning aspect.

Its like she thinks "I'm Ronda Rousey, if I just have the will they'll buckle because I'm Ronda" well no Ronda, just no.
