Totally agree with the first half of your post. The additional sad thing is, it has nothing to do with skill, bushido, legitimacy but rather is all predicated on the fact that Ronda is considered to be moderately good looking. Carano would have likely been alot bigger if she never met up with Cyborg and had the Zuffa muscle behind her as she is much better looking and charismatic. The hype behind this fight is not a testament to anything other than how far popular society has fallen, the power of media and the desire of the media to do nothing but generate clicks with w/ ridiculous troll-esque natured material. Many a sub 100 IQ havin' folk take literally it's material, like 'Ronda is most skilled dominant athlete ever and could beat men in the UFC' yet fail to look at the facts like her getting tossed around by an average male highschool wrestler of her same size.
We are now in the year 2015, 20 years ago, Milli Vanilli was considered the greatest artistic act on the planet, only to be exposed as lip syncing frauds years later. How did this happen? The rich business folks knew people fell in love with an image, glorified it to points of insanity and cared not of reality. The same exact thing is going on with Zuffa and Ronda, however with the internet, one can easily find information to expose the truth and do not have to wait around for a Sakuraba or Petruzelli.
The same trolls that celebrate & glorify Ronda are often the ones that say "your body doesn't matter, looks + sex appeal doesn't matter, equality for all!", failing to see that Cyborg is shamed simply because she does not look attractive to most, even though she is more accomplished in MMA than Ronda is. The hypocrisy only increases when they hate on Cyborg for using an anabolic diuretic while Ronda was an opiate addict and alcoholic. Some say "it's not the same", and they would be right, vicodin and alchohol are called "the breakfast of champions" because it gives athletes incredible advantages while training and competing, not just weight cutting....Ronda did this all while representing her country in the Olympics, the most sacred of all sporting events, not just a then taboo prize fight.
Every weekend there are fighters fighting on the under card of the UFC with 11-0 vs 14-1 type records, with much greater skill, heart, dedication but no one gives a hoot because they are not a product of mass media diarrhea and their photo shopped/airbrushed images do not give chubs to the hoards of prepubescent WWE fans. We simply live in a world with a lot of nuts and not very intelligent people, sadly it is going to get alot worse before it gets better.
good post thnx
