UFC 207 - Nunes vs Rousey - Vegas

Not open for further replies.
Says he's getting sued by FitNHB for 20% of purse for next three years, says he's still under contract with them

 
Hendricks looked like sh*t... having problems standing up, scared to drink a sip of water.
 
I've been training, never been lazy, Tarec will have a harder fight with me, than Brown, Tarec has had easy fights, he's going to have a tough time on the ground, his lungs will be asking for oxygen

 
I don't make enough money to wait, Dillawshaw said he'd leave the MMAAA, for a title show, says the WME doesn't like the MMAAA, I tried to get a new contract, get a title fight, but they didn't respond, I have to beg

 
that hendricks interview was like charles manson on lsd, i would NOT be confident if i had money on him right now.

I'm honestly really surprised at how many of you guys are surprised by Ronda showing up in shape and seemingly motivated. I think the fight is pretty much a toss up, so like Nunes for value at dog odds. But never did I think we'd get some mopey, flabby, unmotivated version of Ronda here. She took the loss horribly (obviously LOL) but she's had plenty of time to get back in fight mode. She's a pro, she wants to win this to take "her rightful place" back at the top of WMMA. The fact that she's ripped and ready...well hell yes she is.

For me the question is and will be until we see it happen is how she reacts when she gets bloodied or in a bad spot again. There's for sure a chance it doesn't even happen in this fight, but I tend to think Nunes will at least have a moment where she stings Ronda or whatever and then...we'll see what happens.

But people switching to Ronda just because she looks focused and in shape? Bizarre. If anything to me it would be due only to line movement in that she's only a slight favorite now.

I agree that switching sides to Ronda based on how she looks doesn't make much sense. But skillset vs skillset, I've been leaning Ronda since the fight was announced, as have at least a few others ITT. I was never expecting to get her at the current odds so I'm now much bigger on her than I was initially planning to be. The fact that she looks to be in great shape is only a slight confidence increase for me. IMO people are overrating Nunes based on the Tate fight and underrating Ronda based on the Holm fight.
 
Something I haven't really seen people mention is the fact that Ronda is coming back from a broken jaw and shes fighting the biggest power puncher she has ever fought. That long layoff is also a concern.

Yeah so...I really, REALLY try to not overreact to interviews like this. He's obviously irritated and all over the place. The weight cut affects him quite a bit (this is what I was talking about with Brazilian Cowboy/Brooks LOL), etc.

That said, I'm adding a unit to Magny. Maybe my read is off but when you look like Hendricks does there and you are just all over the place like that, fighting a hyper focused grinder like Magny is just a HUGE mountain to climb.
 
Eric Del Fierro - we started wrestling, his striking evolved from his wrestling

Louis Smolka - I just tried to research better, never used to do that

Alex Garcia - I'm well rounded, I don't lift weights, but I have alot of muscle, I'm always training

Your rationale is sound for sure. If you liked her before, adding due to the line movement makes perfect sense. I just don't understand people switching sides due to her looking...like she looks heading into every fight. Did we think we'd see her bloated, missing weight, etc.? Of course she's gonna be in shape and focused. Anyone that bet Nunes due to that line of thinking...jeez...not smart.
 
T.J. Dillashaw - I'm scared the MMAA might effect my next fight

Marvin Vettori - i played soccer when I was kid, always like contact sports, I like PRIDE, it's a great fight for me, my last 3-4 have been grapplers going into striking, I'm not scared of his ground game, first or second round TKO,

 
Magny sub +834. I'm hitting that small. He has underrated transitions and those long limbs. Johnny looking so weird and bad also makes me think that if he has one foot out the door he could potentially look for a way out if he gets in a bad spot.
 
I had injuries after my last fight, camp has been great, body holding up, got back to grinding, enjoy training again, humbled the UFC still has by back

Mauro Ranallo is my favourite MMA commentator of all time, his work in Strikeforce and especially Pride w/Bas is just great to listen to. Him and Rogan would be a good fit I think. Shame he's tied in with WWE now.

Have to agree with the majority here, Anik is unbearable. Too scripted and robotic, no personality.

I've started to use the phrase, "...or so it would appear." from listening to Anik's commentary.

Yeah its cool she is obviously taking this seriously, but confidence neutral despite that pic. At the end of the day, her MMA coach is still Edmund. Conditioning and endurance training wont fix that

why the hell doesn't she leave him and go to an actual elite camp? incomprehensible to me.
