Rousey wasn’t able to get an effective ground game going, and when standing, Carano was aggressive as hell. That made all the difference, as the 15 shots from Carano standing softened ROusey up pretty hardcore, affecting her whole overall game.

The streak lives on. When was the last time Carano lost though ?

[Ferocity]

it's not that Carano can't loose, she just can't loose against Roussey.

Yet Rousey's one of the 2 top overall fighters in the division. Kinda BS that these fights don't last past much past mid-way through the first round... kinda boring and lame. :-/

@The Sandmen... wtf is this No Contest shit now? I proposed those with you when I was staff and you said we couldn't do them... now we have them? What's with that shit?

[The Sandmen]

There is no natural way to do them. If you read how this came about, you will see what happened, and that it's the most fair route to go in this case.

All I see is: 1) You're full of shit, as usual... and 2) Yet again, you take one of my ideas, tell me it's shit, then institute it later pawning it off as your own.

[The Sandmen]

You are boring.

To you? Sure it's boring when I tell the truth about your bullshit lies to folks cuz all you do is deflect and don't own up for any of the shit you pull. I call you on it and your response is "You are boring" or "You're a cry baby" or "There you go Kruzin' it up"... Fuck you. For someone who supposedly is university educated, you're a big fucking idiot... :-/ And that's no joke bud.

[The Sandmen]

Boring.
