Since the last thread was closed due to derailment I'll try this again.
Ronda Rousey was born on February 1, 1987 in Riverside County, California. She is a world and Olympic medalist in Judo and began competing in MMA on August 6th, 2010.
Her second fight.
Third
Here's a link to her website and from there you can go vote for some fighters only awards that include everything from best promoter, clothing line, journalist, to ko and submission of the year. Check it out.
It's Tate's responsibility to tap, Ronda letting go because she's concerned about Tate puts Ronda in a position to still get beat. Fights not over until ref says so or a fighter taps, there's really not much else to it.
Frank Mir's broken two arms (Timmay and Big Nog), where was the outrage then? And how does everyone keep blaming Ronda for what was Tate's responsibility?

Interviews with Bendo, Rener Gracie and Sean McCorkle are also in there (The Rener interview is especially epic, who else can give a 13 minute answer to a simple question?)
Mar 4, 2012 - Amazingly, Miesha Tate didn't suffer any broken bones in her left arm following Saturday night's gruesome loss via armbar to Ronda Rousey.
"I had X-Rays last night," Tate told MMAFighting.com via text message. "No bones are broken, which I already knew. Other than that, I have to get an MRI to find out anything further."
Tate, the now former Strikeforce bantamweight champion, wouldn't elaborate on when she'll find out what kind of shape her arm is in and when she'll back to 100 percent. According to a Strikeforce official Saturday night, the early thought was that she had at least damaged ligaments in her arm.
Rousey submitted Tate via armbar at 4:27 of the first round but only after Tate refused to tap for several seconds, which led to her arm seemingly bending backwards. A similar scenario played out in the first minute of the fight, but Tate was able to escape that submission attempt.
Following the tapout, Tate remained on the canvas for several seconds and was unable to move her left arm in the cage after the fight.
The win improved Rousey's professional record to 5-0, with all five wins coming via first-round armbar. Tate's record dropped to 12-3.
I would have a most difficult time grappling with her. I'd imagine I'd spend most of the time in the mount position. Looking for a submission only to get countered. Then I would have no choice, but to go back to her guard and repeat rinse recycle.
I like Ronda and you have to admit if your opponent is Rousey, you are going to be a little more reserved on the ground.
Its a bit early to count on Rousey vs Cyborg, I could see Ronda fighting again and most likely winning in similar fashion. Assuming she waits/wins I think it could end up either a KO for Cyborg or a five round slow ground war, I guess I'm just not sure Ronda gets that type of sub on Cyborg.
Anyway, it was a exciting fight and I think it proved woman's mma doesn't live or die with one or two fighters and with fights like what we've see in strikeforce woman's mma is going to grow and if Ronda and Cyborg are able to win dana over we could see woman's mma alot more.
Her longest fight so far and it didn't even go past the first round. I wonder if Sarah is going to last as long or if she is going to be another quick victory.
Cyborg needs to hurry up and get her new roid regime sorted so we can see the epic show that would be Rousey vs. Cyborg.
I suspect Cyborg's experience and general strength might give her the edge but it would be an phenomenal fight and hopefully contribute to bumping up the presence of WMMA
Yeah, she fared very well against Meisha. The only bummer in that whole fight is the fact that she had to twist Meisha's elbow all over the place. Hopefully the Kaufman fight doesn't batter he badly.
Well that's not going to happen for another year at least with her suspension. Also, if Ronda survived her barrage then maybe she could pull off the armbar. That fight would be tricky.
Sexual harrasment and not caring about ring worm is a great way to attract new students! Or so I've heard
