Not into Ronda at all though, i like Carano and Cyborg. Especially the latter one, she's just a vicious Chute Boxe fighter, like Wand in a wig or sth lol.

You may be on to something here.

and no, i won't turn off the Ronda bout afterward. it will be all kinds of fun.

That's interesting. Wasn't Dan complaining at some point that he was co-main to Rhonda (or was it just the fans?). It seems weird if at that point he already knew that he would feature in a three rounder and hence was definitely not the main event.

That statement you made reminds me of the elementary saying: "What I can't see, can't hurt me!"

Desperate antidotes in order to justify your lack of understanding.

It's pretty much common knowledge that the best at anything tend to get the most hate.

Don't know why you felt the need to fly off the handle.

I expect that it will be 15 minutes of Dan winging H-Bombs and missing the highly elusive Machida, dropping a decision, then we'll have to endure his camp claiming he would have blasted Machida in rounds 4 & 5.

don't really care if it's under other people's radar. i can't wait.

i find it laughable than anyone could call themselves a legit mma fan and not be excited.

if all you see in Hendo's fights is "winging H-Bombs" then you should re-take 101.

some people in Dan's camp seemed to take offense not necessarily at Ronda per se but the concept that she should be top billing:

but Hendo himself didn't:

sadly, Hendo's comments came days after Gus', and by that time the sherdog fact-telephone-game was already in full force, and people who only get their news from forums were convinced Dan was upset, and they allowed themselves to then be upset.

it's too bad there isn't more critical thinking and fact checking on an individual basis around here.
