I hope Miesha beats her in a rematch down the road some time. I enjoy watching Rousey fight, but I'm not a fan of her boyish personality. Mieshe has a much nicer personality.

I hate it when chicks start talking and acting like guys.
Yeah, because Miesha wasn't a Tomboy.

I kind of like Kaufman's chances against Rousey. Her striking is pretty awful, and Tate ran right into the clinch with her. Kaufman has the footwork and striking to stay out of danger while doing damage. Not that she'll last any longer than anyone else if Rousey does get her arms around her.

Kaufman got subbed my conen...with an armbar. Don't see it happening.

Styles make fights. Coenen is a complete fighter, while Rousey is a really, really good grappler who's lacking in other areas.

Not that I'm putting any money on this fight, mind you, I just think it's wrong to discount Kaufman too hastily.

Those Invicta shows have some talent.

If they could do women's 140, I'd be down to bring that to the UFC. Not enough talent for a Featherweight and Bantamweight.

I'm not a big fan of hers...I don't even think she is that good of a fighter. She's a good grappler no doubt, but I see her more like a Jake Shields/Paul Harris type...

But yeah, she is kinda cool, but also kinda trailer trashy...I mean look at her house...I can't believe she would show it on TV...

It REALLY helps women's MMA when Dana keeps saying it helps when the female fighters are beautiful :confused05:

Also why are they having Ronda do naked photo shoots? What's the point in falling straight into the whole sex appeal thing when that isn't going to be an option in most cases?

Heck let's just have Carano and Rousey do a sex film and women's MMA will be on the map :thumb02:

Haha, when lately that (supposedly) girl said that Ortiz would be ugly and this and that fighter would be sexy, everybody here got mad how she could judge those male fighters on their looks as it's a combat sport and not about looks, but as soon as someone mentions Carano or Rousey, starts to get a watery mouth and talks are mostly about their sexyness :thumb02:

UFC on fox has been dismal save one card and considering that I've seen a lot of woman's bouts that are of higher quality and more entertaining than what we'll get from all but the main events on most fox cards, I'd love to see them create a woman's division and throw some bouts on fox shows.

If only there was some way to take a group of women and put them in a house and have them fight every week.

You might even put some lesbians in the house to see if they end up engaging in some sort of sexual relationship only to have to fight at the end.

But as we all know their are no lesbians in MMA, a show like that would never work, and nobody would watch women acting a fool and fighting with each other.
There has already been a Ultimate Fighter themed television showed about women. Ever heard of Fight Girls? About the female Muay Thai fighters fighting for a prize? Was that successful? NO. And that had everything in it and only a couple of women were ugly from what I remember. See, just goes to show that your exposure to the fight game is rather limited, John.

Personally, I find women who have impressive skills very attractive no matter what they look like. Be it sports or other stuff. I've met girls who I thought we're minging, only to have my opinion completely changed when I see her excel at a sport or play an instrument beautifully. They then start to look beautiful to me.

I hate that "ugly" sports women get constantly trashed by the male fans. When I was 24, I may well have done it too! So, I'm not ragging on any of you guys here. But I've grown to really dislike it. Most male sports fans are sexist to some degree. All my close males friends hate sports. So I'm stuff in the middle. I love sports but hate sexism. *sigh*

In closing, Rousey is awesome to me. And if she looked like Cyborg I would feel no different at all.

Loving the video, certainly a new-found love for Ronda. I wish Julie Kedzie would blink a bit more though in that vid. She scares me everso slightly :D haha. TBH I'd hate to see women fight in the UFC, it'd get watered down into a beauty contest. Invicta and Jewels are the places to be for the best WMMA.
