What’s very interesting is, as dominating as Cris was, that 1 landed shot from Carmouche was huge. I think GAP has developed her into a massive machine of potential, who is strong as stones on steroids. I think she might see a turnaround very soon and move into the upper level. Curious to see how she does against a lesser top 6, after an upgrade or two.

No surprise though, unfortunately.

[The Sandmen]

Yes, the surprise was Carmouche had a chance. I guess you could compare it to the real life Rousey-Carmouche fight. Obviously a wolf-toss bullshit fight, but Liz did not make an ass of herself in the process.

[xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club]

Agreed.

[The Sandmen]

Moral: Rousey in real life is handed free wins so Dana WHite and the UFC can cash-cow her. Can we agree on that part too?

[The Rocketmen]

Man, Cyborg was dodging like a beast.

[The Sandmen]

That's how she rolls. That and often stopping to tell people not to film her while she is teaching technique.

[The Rocketmen]

lmao that still makes me laugh at me being retarded and pointing at you like "yeah, he'll do your close up" and then she demands you stop filming.

[The Sandmen]

That's how you roll.

[The Rocketmen]

Anyone else see the Cyborg booty pic that randomly emerged after Dana White called her ugly?

[The Rocketmen]

Also randomly found this:

[The Sandmen]

Some photoshop, I'm sure, but I had no complaints with what we saw of it in person, I guess.

[The Rocketmen]

Same.

[The West Coast Knockouts]

I would ride her like a horse

I'll compare this Dana-Rousey thing as to the recent WWE feud where Triple H named Randy Orton the Face of the business, and continued to give him title matches against top talent, and when they lose, HHH strips them of the belt and gives it back to Orton.

I expect that to happen if McMann wins at the UFC PPV. She gets the title for one day before she get stripped of the title for "wearing her gloves wrong" or "not putting enough tape on her hands" or "wearing a T-Shirt in a UFC match".
