Ronda at 207 is a huge win for UFC regardless of the outcome AND regardless of the price

[Threetrees]

Any buyrate over 600ish for the UFC is a win.

If Ronda pulls 700k tonight, particularly if she wins and continues fighting, that's a huge win for the UFC for a fight they let the media do all the promotion for them.

Nunes is too ugly to ever be a 'star'. It sucks but it's true.

Tastes are diffents. I don't consider Rousey neither a hot woman.

but if Ronda wins, if you can't smell that 145 title fight right there then you should look into getting a service pet. Ronda going after the second title does for her what it did for Conor, it erases all the wrong and re-immortalizes her. Won't really matter whether its Holm or GDR althought Holm would just make it perfect.

If Holm wins, RR gets beat in a similar fashion as last time unless she switches camps. Will be interesting to see if she change's her style a bit and doesn't "chase" a good strike while eating punches.

Nah.

Ronda not doing media has made a huge difference.

What huge difference she's done media she just hasn't done it on fight week the media that's she's done for this fight. Conan,Ellen, ESPN the magazine probably garnered more buys for this card than all of the mma media the the rest of the main card has done during fight week put together

Nunes vs Cyborg? are you mental?

 

[Siesta]

I'm not talking Conor ppv numbers.

800k-1mil.

I'b be shocked if it did less than 700k.

Then our definition of monster number are different.

Nah. I doubt people who watch Ellen buy UFC PPVs. I very much doubt they watched that episode weeks ago, and all put it in their diaries to remember and buy a Ronda PPV weeks later after one interview where she came off as a total wreck. You're missing the point about the fight week buzz/push. Who knows what would have came of her doing media. Nobody expected Jones and DC to have a ruckus, and it made that fight go nuclear.
