Rousey: "If GSP wasn't really good-looking, and Canadian, he would be unkown"

Everybody keeps coming up to me and saying, 'Oh, do you think if you didn't look such a way, people would like you so much?' I'm like, 'Dude, if GSP was butt ugly, you wouldn't want to know who he is so much.'
I think he lucked out a lot that he's Canadian. I love Canadians. They are the coolest, nicest, most patriotic people, and they will support their countrymen no matter what, and I think that's commendable. But if GSP wasn't really good-looking, and really Canadian, he would be really unknown.

"He fights to win matches. He doesn't fight to defeat his opponents."

Personally I can't wait until womens MMA disappears before it even begins in the UFC. Rousey especially, absolutely as dumb as they come but most of all a total disgrace to our sport.

She says the dumbest shit, I don't know if it's for self promotion or if she's just being Nick and Nate's buddy and trying to trash Frenchy but she says some really dumb stuff.

Would hit though.

I also agree. Lack of interaction for females is the #1 cause of aggression. btw: Never noticed that tat on her pelvic bone. Toite! Toite like a tiger!

She could of at least made it funny or witty when trashing GSP on Nick's behalf. But no, she just sounded stupid. But she's hot so who cares right? :D

Ronda is right though.

If GSP wasn't Canadian he's just be another Frankie Edgar or Cruz.

A champion that no one really cared about and did basement numbers.

Let's be honest no one is watching GSP fights because they think they will be exciting. It's mostly just Canadian homers.

LMAO! Looks like the Diaz brother's penchant for saying dumb things is rubbing off on Ronda.

As a Canadian, I can assure Rousey that being Canadian in no way increased GSP's notoriety. That's ridiculous.

However, there is no question that being a good looking guy helped GSP.

Just like being good looking has helped Ronda or Tom Brady or Tiger Woods.

As for GSP only fighting to win matches...Rousey should ask Koscheck how his orbital bone is doing, or Hardy's arms, or Fitch's face.

Wow is that photo of Ronda real??? I saw that photo... but it never went that low on her body!

And in regards to what she said... she just said it to stay in the news... and because she's tight with the Diaz brothers. Anybody who has been a Champion for this many years will be "known".

I think GSP will take this fight easily.. Condit was a way tougher fight for him.

I didn't know GSP was good looking...I thought he was average...

But yeah, I don't find Ronda attractive at all, so perhaps that's why I have no patience for her non-sense.

I think Miesha or Marloes are much better looking...but that's just my opinion...

Not to mention before the Serra fight GSP was extremely dynamic and was finishing guys left and right.

Edgar and Cruz who are two of my favorites never finished guys the same way GSP used to, they've always been guys who score points although Frankie dropped Bendo and finished Veach and Maynard.

Some times I wonder what GSP would have been like today if Serra didn't TKO him. Would GSP be pulling off highlight reel finishes like Anderson Silva? If you look at GSP's record before Serra... most of his fights FINISHED as TKO's or submissions... then right after Matt Serra all his fights were "decisions".

Matt Serra robbed us of excitement in the WW division... :(

not so bad :D

Rousey has, however, heard people compare her sex-appeal status to GSP's.

"Everybody keeps coming up to me and saying, 'Oh, do you think if you didn't look such a way, people would like you so much?'

"I'm like, 'Dude, if GSP was butt ugly, you wouldn't want to know who he is so much.'


"I think he lucked out a lot that he's Canadian. I love Canadians. They are the coolest, nicest, most patriotic people, and they will support their countrymen no matter what, and I think that's commendable.

"But if GSP wasn't really good-looking, and really Canadian, he would be really unknown."

It makes sense then that Rousey's favorite fighters have been aggressive, such as Fedor Emelianenko, B.J. Penn and Nick Diaz.

"I like fighters that go into it to finish it. They're not afraid to take risks," by saying, "I'm going to try to do something crazy, and if I end up in a bad position, I know I can handle it.

Well, that was some weak trash talk on her/Diaz's part.

Ronda may have looks, if you call it that for a female fighter... but for me that's average at best. She got all this hype with her first round subs.

I say they feed her to Cyborg and then see her talk trash... she'll wake up the next morning not remembering her name.

I'm not sure I agree with that statement. Sure, in surveys Canada is bigger on the whole 'MMA' scene but our population is literally 10% that of the USA. By this logic, one can emphatically conclude that GSP must have quite the American following, as dictated by his constantly sky high PPV buys. So it stands to reason through this thought process that he has many American fans keeping his Canadian fans company. I would be very surprised to find a Yankee who is a GSP fan simply because he is good looking and Canadian.

Or maybe the hookup already happened,

He escaped her arm-bar got top control and gave tha riddum...

And didnt call her back because he wasn't imbressed with her performance!
