Remember when ROUSEY said she could beat men and 75% of you believed it?

[Hard To Tell]

The Swedish woman's soccer team, Olympic bronze medal winners, practiced and lost against 16 year old boys teams.

I remember reading about that, the boys team were Stockholm's under 16 side, so only 14 and 15 years olds, and they even played with one less player to try and even things up and still won easily.

There are people on here who have clearly never trained with females (or at all) and therefore have no clue about just how huge the gap is between men and women. They probably watch GI Jane and think it's realistic.

She'd still beat Cain under any circumstances though.

Healthy Sea level Cain?

Every version of Cain - lets be realistic here.

I remember when Rogan said she could beat half of the mens bantamweight division. Almost 50% of the people here believed that. So many people here automatically latch on to hype and marketing. It's amusing to watch but also scary how gullible people are.

Go to 1:07 where he's talking about the difference between men and women in their ability to take punches and he says, in reference to male, professional MMA fighters taking on Ronda Rousey, "the punches that some of these guys might possibly land"

"might possibly land"

 

[Big Gipp]

Don't forget how we were also told that because Floyd Mayweather doesn't know takedown defense, this would somehow magically render one of the greatest boxers of all time incapable of punching a slow, immobile, upright, no head movement, zero defense female in the face.

Makes it even funnier because the style in which Ronda would go about to get the takedown. I.E. Eat a bunch of punches to get the clinch in to a trip/throw.

Truthfully it depends on the man.

Could she beat a male Bantamweight on the UFC roster? No.

Could she beat Cain Velasquez? Hell no.

Could she beat Floyd Mayweather in MMA? If she got him to the ground, yes.

Could she beat an untrained man her size or smaller? Yes.

Could she beat an untrained man much bigger than her? It depends on the strength and athleticism of the man.

There's obviously a difference between saying she could beat up a 300 pound fat slob who hasn't lifted weights in his life and beating up an NFL running back who doesn't know Martial Arts but is exceptionally strong and fast.

I'm being realistic here and this response is more about the capability of female MMA fighters than Ronda Rousey. There is no shame in getting beaten by Holly Holm or Amanda Nunes. I personally thought she was going to lose both of those fights, especially if she tried to stand and strike with them. But let's not let those losses delude us in to thinking that female MMA fighters can't fight anyone but each other. Some women can beat some men under the right circumstances.

Please stop. Floyd is probably 20x stronger than Nunez and 1000x faster. She literally would not touch Floyd. Literally. And would be out on her feet with one jab

The Williams sisters lost 6-1 and 6-2 to the 203rd ranked male tennis player. The woman's 100 meter sprint record, a steroid time that no one woman has come close to in 30 years, is regularly beaten by high school boys. The Canadian national women's hockey time, four times Olympic gold medalists, plays practice games and loses more often than not against local 15-17 year old boy's teams (who aren't allowed to body check). The Swedish woman's soccer team, Olympic bronze medal winners, practiced and lost against 16 year old boys teams.

And you think Rousey is beating low ranked adult males? She'd have a chance against trained high school boys in the 15-17 year old range (there's a reason that the Canadian woman's hockey team went for that range, but doesn't practice against 18 year olds).

On the other hand, she'd tie most untrained men into knots all right. WMMA is great, I like the style and the dynamics. But pretending they're beating men is doing WMMA a disservice, and is often said by people who want to get rid of WMMA by forcing them to fight men (ie if women are competitive against men in sport, why have separate women's divisions?)

She would only beat non athletes with no training. Any male with a semblance of athleticism would easily outmuscle her

 

[hot carl]

Yes. Thank God we have a few smart and knowledgeable posters left on this forum.

I hear you pal, I do.

God belss God

 

[tramendous]

shes bigger and stonger. weight classes are designed to protect smaller fighters.

They arent separated by weight classes but gender divisions first. And no she is not stronger.

When I was in University a couple of my freinds were dating players from the univesrity womans hockey team (wchih was one of the best in the country BTW). We ended up going to one of their practices and played against them for fun. It was honestly like playing against 7 years olds.

 

[Th3PlainTruth**]

I said it years ago...Rousey isn't a good fighter, she puts her head down, runs in and manhandles weaker smaller women..a women who can punch (for a girl) beats her, because she can't ragdoll a puncher


Remember when a 3rd of you thought she could beat 135 males? Rousey can't beat most men off the street unless their handicapped or horrible.

I train women I know their mentality..their like kids..if your sparring with a women and LET HER do good, she'll think she can really beat you.

Im in the 25 percentile too.
I couldnt believe there was dudes...sorry..BETA males saying she could beat Mighty Mouse etc.
It was crazy. They even said she could beat Cyborg..and im like what the fuck sherdog?
these guys on here ride the hype train.
I think its a matter of time before conor gets his. But conors actually improving...i hate that fucker, but hed better be a chuck liddell master and TDD, if not, someone is going to get through and submit him.

But yea..id log in and read the absolute fucking madness posted here. And now we hear crickets from them.

Ive REALLY got to start taking screen shots.

The big problem is you have a lot of males growing up without fathers, saturated in a feminist society that endlessly forces "girl power" on the masses while watching movies and TV shows that show 90 pound chicks with fake tits beating the crap out of 250 pound meat-heads. Society is screwed.

Well he did say, "IF she got him to the ground". No shit that Floyd will knock her ass out pretty easily....and she ain't clinching Floyd....but if they fought in an elevator, then she has a very good chance.

 

[Hard To Tell]

Makes it even funnier because the style in which Ronda would go about to get the takedown. I.E. Eat a bunch of punches to get the clinch in to a trip/throw.

Yeah, I remember after Holm people saying Rousey got her tactics wrong but she always fights that way. Bull rush, windmill, eat some shots, grab, throw, submit. But up until Holm and now Nunes, she'd been fighting girls with boxercise level punching and no power so got away it.

The idea of a 'fight' between her and Mayweather ending in any other way than Rousey getting knocked out cold as soon as she comes anywhere near him is absurd.

 

[98bird]

Hell no. Plenty of men get dominated by WOMEN BJJ blue belts, and most of these broads don't even fight MMA; they only train BJJ and love seeking out noob men to whoop on....I see this shit all the time. And these dudes are usually in decent to good shape (like fitness gym rats to crossfitters) and also, 10-20 lbs heavier. A female Brown belt would destroy untrained, athletic men their weight. While Housey, is an experienced fighter.....even w/shitty striking (compared to male Pro's) would still have a huge advantage in striking vs. these untrained/athletic men.

Mayweather is a Boxer. Nunes is a Mixed Martial Artist. Strength and speed can be completely negated when you are taken to the ground where Mayweather would not know how to defend against submissions. It's not at all farfetched that Rousey could get Mayweather on the ground. Now if she was stupid and tried to stand with him for even a second she would get knocked out quickly but if she went for an early, well-timed takedown it's a winnable fight.

 

[Psychojoe86]

Honestly rousey might beat Cain, just due to the fact that he probably won't make it to the fight. So there's that

You're straight up delusional. She loses to Floyd no matter what

 

[RiverCity]

The 75% figure seems quite far-fetched. Do you have any evidence for it, TS?
