Ronda Rousey is the Mike Tyson of MMA

[accolyte1022]

Nah, this is the GOAT poster

 

[PeteGas]

Tyson came along at the right time and fought and beat a lot of guys who were at the end of their careers.

Only time will tell. Niche sport huh, well, so was boxing a few hundred years ago. Think MMA will continue to grow or will it die off? I say the latter...

Boxing was one of the first major professional sports (some might argue the first, at least since the 19th century). If it has ever been a niche sport (which is debatable), it has only been for the last 10-15 years.

Yes, Kovalev is a very dangerous fight. He is in the same vein as previous fighters that Hopkins has had relatively easy times with (the Pavliks, Glen Johnsons, Trinidads and Clouds of the world), but Hopkins isn't the same fighter he was 3-4 years ago, let alone 15. Kovalev has a decent workrate and a bit of craft to go with his elite power, as well. It's pretty crazy that anyone near the age of 50 would ever take on a fight with someone like Kovalev, really. There are still a lot of questions regarding Kovalev, though, and Hopkins, even at his advanced age, is going to be extremely difficult to stop.

Whats with the Ronda threads tonight.

Cuz she looked so pretty in those favela pix so everyone has been thinking about her all night

 

[2DUM2TAP]

Tyson fought actual professional fighters.

Dana as good hands and reaction time. No wonder he was a boxercise instructor.

Also that gif was probably the last time Dana laughed with Tito instead of at him.

nah.... I only needed to think about her for 5 minutes.... not all night.

 

[FlowWithTheGo23]

She's the least advanced/well rounded of any UFC champion. Nobody ever claimed Royce Gracie was a Mike Tyson, and that's about where her skill level is.

 

[morose]

i think you have my favorite sig ever

 

[synyster]

To deny that Ronda Rousey is a beast is to deny being a fan of MMA

Win 10

 

[2DUM2TAP]

Rousey is way more intimidating than Tyson.

Note to self... tie her up before getting the feather out.

 

[FallonFoxGOAT]

still missing a rape conviction

I will take one for the team.

 

[2DUM2TAP]

I will take one for the team.

Yeah, but would you take one from Tyson in order to take one from Ronda. Let's see how devoted you really are.

I just realized that I am not a true fan.

 

[Talibankocken]

Haha this guy.

 

[TheWolfsHowl]

And TheRassler is the GOAT Poster of MMA forums.

Maybe top 1000.

Maybe.

 

[TheRassler]

You realize Tyson has many "blemishes" on his record, right?

that was after Don King corrupted him, those don't count.

Apart from Holmes who was ancient, you could almost argue he lost to every great fighter he ever fought.

I guess the equivalent MMA fighter would be Michael Bisping. :redface:

Bisping lost to a long list of TRT fighters lol.
