The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- UFC 300 ON NOW

May is going to be unreal

I am still in disbelief that all of those fights are scheduled to happen

I wonder if UFC will drop one of those title fights from the May card now and move it to another date. Its supposed to be a huge card for UFC that should bring in a lot of money with ticket sales and at least 800k ppv buys. But now with Mayweather v Pac fighting in the same month it could take away from what ufc wants to accomplish. In the past they've blamed lower than expected ppv buys and slow ticket sales on Mayweather/Pac fights being held right before their event.
 
Never compare Chuck/Wand with Mayweather/Pac.... 

Chuck got knocked out and lost his belt, then lost to Keith Jardine. Wand meanwhile was coming off two brutal KOs... 

Mayweather's undefeated in 40 something fights and is still clowning the competition. Pac did get blasted by Marquez but came back and put on a clinic against Timothy Bradley (undefeated, legit top 5) and then destroyed some up-n-comer... 

They are both older now than 5 years ago but they are still the best. 
 
187 is stacked cause they're competing against the May/Paq fight.

After seeing RRR spare I don't think anyone in the division has a chance at beating her. I haven't seen Holly yet to make an inferred opinion though

I peeped the UFC Countdown last night and Rousey looks unreal. Her technique on those throws and going into those armbars in training were scary to witness. Her hands are also evolving, she at least makes hitting pads look real good

If she destroys Cat then I'll have a hard time believing she'd lose unless she got content and lazy

Some of Holly's fights are on Youtube, she looks pretty good on those KO's but you can't make real conclusions based off the competition. I hope she runs through her opponent to build hype

Exactly.

I need to watch Holly's fights but if Iggy Pop's daughter does run through Cat and Holly then she midas whale fight Conor. The GOAT should not only be a three division champ, but the other gender champ too to solidify his greatness.
 
I love Cat but rousey fights with so much aggression and anger. I think someone will have to match that to beat her.

If this fight goes past the first round, Cat is very much in her element. Cat is an aggressive chick but usually gets off to slow starts which is where Rousey is at her most dangerous.

Anyone see Ronda on Conan?

She is BROLIC right now.

Anyone know if she cuts a lot of weight? She doesn't have big boobs or a butt, she's sort of a thick rectangle.

I wanna say that she probably weighs 150 - 165 lbs when not training. I remember seeing articles about her cutting close to 20 lbs in 1 day to get to 135 lbs to prove a point to the other fighters on TUF. Plus she did fight at 145 lbs in Strikeforce and was supposed to fight Cyborg until Cyborg got suspended.

No weigh Honda cuts that much weight. That's really unhealthy for a woman.

I really don't think she gets as high as 165 but there's articles out there saying she walks around at 150-152 pounds

165 was just a high estimation. But she's in the mid 150s. She didn't look bigger while she was filming TUF and she was supposedly 152 then. When those new pics of her in the SI swimsuit mag came out and she looked bigger, she said she just put on weight so she was curvier and was at the weight she feels she's the most attractive.

what's left for ronda?
cyborg? gina?

hopefully Holly Holm, she needs to show some grappling in her next fight with pennington.

I was unaware that the next fight card will have the women's fight as the comain and main event.

I like how you called her Honda. Repped.

Gina would get worked by even the other women ranked lower, she's done

Cyborg has a fight at 135 pounds on Friday in Los Angeles for Invicta, if she proves she can make weight and be healthy I'm sure the UFC will find a way to sign her

Other than that, Holly Holm fights on the co main event for the Rousey card, if Holm also destroys her opponent that's the other logical opponent. Holm is more of a microwave fight but the buzz could be there because she trains at Jackson's, she has an entertaining striking skill set and she is semi attractive
