Something people are overlooking about Bethe...

[BigMuffler]

She is the first Brazilian Ronda will fight as champ. Therefore she knows she will be a national hero if she defeats the WMMA GOAT and thus be extra motivated. Her morale will be further boosted by having recently witnessed her countryman RDA dethrone the most beautiful UFC champion.

I truly believe Bethe will be Rowdy's toughest challenge, and may score the TKO upset.

I think you're putting too much stock in national pride.

I'll put my money on R3's judo.

Ronda Bless

Only way Bethe can win is by decision and that is not happening.

 

[wellsdj1]

something you are overlooking. Ronda has been doing Judo for 20+ years. Bethe is a blue belt in bjj which equals one year of grappling. Not going to stop the sub.

Holy shit is she really a blue belt? I have zero confidence in her if that is true.

 

[Substance Abuse]

And it will make no difference. Period.

 

[VitorfanBRO]

Bethe can only win by cheating of some kind. Which maybe Brazil will look the other way.

yes according to wikkipedia(sp?) . Ronda is a 4th Dan black belt in Judo but I'm sure that equals a black belt in bjj.

 

[LogicalError]

Everyone's a blue belt if you punch them in the face enough. That said, Honda by mean mugging and armbar

As long as she makes it out of the first round its a moral victory.

let's say the first minute

 

[TalkinNoise]

Lmao far from a Ronda stan, but TS you are reaching here.

Cyborg is Ronda's only opposition.

 

[Malthian]

Or she'll crumble under the pressure of being on the co-main event, under intense media scrutiny, while fighting under the bright lights in front of her friends and family in her home country.

Main event nerves are a real thing. Just look what happened to Holly Holme...

 

[Jblizzle]

what exactly has she shown you to think she will be Ronda's toughest test??

In her last two fights she lost a round to Baszler and got Judo tossed by Duke, she would get smashed by any of the girls in the top 5

 

[BigMuffler]

To all the Bethe doubters...

I think you'd be surprised.

Skydome would back me up on this.

 

[DeathByCaranos]

I hate Ronda but if it takes her more than 30 seconds to beat Bethe I would be shocked. Bethe has looked incredibly unimpressive in all her wins.

What exactly have you seen in her fights that makes you think that I would be surprised?

No it doesn't equal that..it doesn't equal that at all.

I don't mean this ugly but have you been hitting the sauce?

Another reason this fight is bullshit, just more padding for Honda's record, you can't fix fights anymore but you can control the results to a higher degree through match making.

R3 by sub, RD 1...and still won't be overly impressed. Fight Cyborg.
