Remember the Ronda Hype? Jack Slack posted an article about it.

[basementdweller]

I love when all the SJW crap crumbles. (Like it always does since it's based on lies) Rousey losing meant we could get back to the serious MMA talk without our wives caring. Thank god!

my wife detests ronda

I remember the threads about Ronda fighting men. Embarassing.

May we never forget:

Joe Rogan on Honda
“Dana, when you get a chance to watch Ronda Rousey fight, it’s not just a fight at this point. It’s a cultural spectacle.”
“It doesn’t just seem like a fight. It seems like some sort of historical event that you have the privilege of watching live.”
“She’s such a unique athlete. And such a unique person.”
“She’s almost like a mythical *stumbles over his words*… A mythical human at this point.”
“[Bethe] is fighting a woman who transcends sport. She’s fighting a woman who is a hero.”
“Wow. Woah. Crazy. Oh my goodness. Wow. Wow.”
“She’s a cultural icon.”
“She is just spectacular.”
“She just keeps getting better. She’s terrifying!”
“There’s something staggering about that woman. I really do feel like she’s just some incredible, historical figure.”
“She’s not a once in a lifetime, she’s once EVER.”
“Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.”
“To be able to call her fights is an honor. I don’t use that word lightly at all. It is a real honor.”
“It’s an honor to call your fights. It really is. You’re the best ever, you’re just *stutters like the first time you asked a girl on a date* a.. a… a once in a lifetime human being.”
“It’s like watching some unbelievable historical figure that’s never existed before.”
“Man, I’m blown away tonight.”
“I just want to tell you I’m just beyond honored to call this fight.”
“Ronda Rousey is on another level. I mean, another level from where she was before, and THAT was another level.”
“The best ever, ladies and gentlemen.”
“She’s just something so undeniably special. I’m just humbled, man. I’m humble.”
“This is something you’re going to get a chance to tell your children about. To tell your grandchildren about.”
“She is better than she ever was before, and she was already the best.”
“When people tell you ‘Hey I was there when Muhammad Ali fought Sonny Liston’, ‘I got to see Mike Tyson beat Trevor Burbick’, that’s what I feel like when I watch her fight.”


An that's why I think Rogan is full of shit and can't be trusted He knows MMA and he knows Rousey sucks... why all that bullshit?

Rogan is also a heavy drug user. He overeacts all the time.

You winners will be talking about ronda rousey for the next twenty five years she changed the sport of mma and you criticise her overhand right and footwork why don't you talk shit about her tens of millions of dollars and being the most famous woman's althete on the planet well done jack slack

I promise you I won't. Are you not allowed to criticize people's skillsets? Is there a rule on this somewhere?

Also, how exactly do you talk shit about someone's money they earned? It's money.... I am sure it doesn't have feelings.

Rogan is an embarrassment. For all his shit he says trying to be real, he's a delusional nutjob.

Sherdog is garbage these days. Including/especially the mods.

you do realize you quoted this shit from an article in which he made the correct assessment of her striking, and pointed out that her cardio could be a problem?
here:

at the point when he wrote the article, it really didn't seem like anyone in the division had the skill or the smarts to beat her, because her previous opponents were either technically completely inapt, or fought like idiots. and her next opponent was bethe, who had neither the skill, nor the smarts. he was right on all accounts.

Eeeh, do you realize that the whole point of the series is called "Kiilling the King/Queen" is to dissect fighters' flaws and how Jon Jones can be beat, how Ronda Rousey can be beat, GSP, Anderson, etc, can be beat? See link :

Killing the King provides a study of the flaws and habits of the best fighters in the world...
You might have been astounded at how much less effective Anderson Silva was when forced to lead, or Georges St. Pierre proved to be when he was denied his jab. It is one thing to be the best in the world with your A-game, it would be an almost unparalleled feat to be the best in the world on your back-up plan.​

So yeah, in the article dissecting how Ronda can be beat, you expect that.
And at the point when he wrote the article, Jack Slack was hoping for something:

This fight will probably be no different, and there's almost nothing on the rest of the card to demand your attention. My only two hopes are that Correia has suddenly evolved into a masterful ring general, and that UFC 190 doesn't turn off all the casual fans who will be returning after the perfect card that was UFC 189.​

Well, well, well, it seems Jack Slack got what he hoped for; Casual fans were never more turned on! And all due to Ronda. But then a year later Jack Slack writes THIS article about the media and fan hype? Really??? Jack, you got WHAT YOU HAD HOPED FOR... in spades.

 

[CoffeeAndBeer]

Jack Slack did write an article called killing the queen, identifying the ways to beat Ronda Rousey. He wrote it after Ronda's win over Zingano but before her win over Bethe. He correctly identified that Ronda had poor striking defense, poor cardio, didn't know how to cut off the cage and was dependent on the clinch to get the take down.

http://fightland.vice.com/blog/killing-the-queen-ronda-rousey

That article is part of a series Jack writes where the point of those articles are to dissect the exploitable aspects of the "Kings" of the sport, the elite fighters in MMA.

Jack Slack identifies ways to beat Jon Jones
Jack Slack identifies ways to beat Jose Aldo
Jack Slack identifies ways to beat Ronda Rousey
... etc...

So it's not like he singled out Ronda and "called it," or something. He talks about GSP's flaws, about Anderson's flaws, etc, that's the point of those articles.

MMA media/news coverage is the worst of any sport, maybe even worse than pro wrestling. Nothing but trash.
