The funny thing here is, Yamanaka came really close to upsetting Rousey in the first. Rousey woke up for the second, but that first round was without a doubt all Yamanaka, with a light sprinkle of Ronda being there once in a while. The callapse of Yamanaka in the 2nd was toughness/defence. She had that, this might have been a different fight.

What are you talking about, man. It only went one round.

hahahaha yeah sandmen really

[The Sandmen]

Hahhaa. That's a good fucking question...I don't know what happened there. The simulator paused half way through and I thought it was a round-break, lol. The IDEAS are still true, Yamanaka was DEFINITELY winning a lot early. Like, totally. Then something happened (whatever it was, I thought it was a round break), and Rousey came back. Must have been a takedown or something. It really did sim and feel like 2 rounds. Very strange.

well that just funny... crazy sauce.
