Fujii put forth a good fight. A very good fight early, but doesn’t have the toughness or defensive polish Rousey has, and could not maintain the high level of back-and-forthness Rousey could. Some more upgrades, and we’ve got us another contender.

Meh. Expected, unfortunately...

[xx - The Broad Street Bullies]

Fujii gave it a good shot.

[The Sandmen]

She did.

[xx - Team GAP]

can rousey get back on top of the division? not sure... wonder if she will continue to win.

[The Sandmen]

I predict no.

[xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club]

I hope no... but I think Ronda can beat everyone else that's left in the tourney unless it's a Budd/Rousey final and Julia KOs the bitch... but that's a long shot at best. lol

[The Sandmen]

at least Budd is Canadian. GO BUDD.

boooo go rousey
