Still not seeing the part where she is afraid. Link?http://mweb.cbssports.com/general/eye-on-sports/25258703/will-the-ronda-rousey-cyborg-justino-mega-fight-ever-get-doneLink?So she's basically afraid to fight this cyborg girl because she's 10 lbs heavier...real badass
Cyborg's an anabolic warrior and there's no reason for RR to chase her. As Dana said, let her come down to 135.http://mweb.cbssports.com/general/eye-on-sports/25258703/will-the-ronda-rousey-cyborg-justino-mega-fight-ever-get-doneLink?So she's basically afraid to fight this cyborg girl because she's 10 lbs heavier...real badass
I don't think UFC has a female weight class higher than bantamweight. Also, Dana did say there are no plans to add any others.
Why do some people have a hard time understanding this? Brute strength is not > all. Take the average FBG who's really weight room strong. Does he have any idea how to punch effectively? How about defense against punches and kicks? Say he gets RR in a bear hug, what then? She knows counters for any caveman moves we could apply. Our only chance would be catching her clean on the chin with a lucky punch. Now make us young, with several years of MMA training and I'd change my opinion.
I understand it perfectly and I read that he had a difficult time squirting out of a 100+ lb weight difference. Now take that 320 lb. professional sitting on her 135 lb body. What could she do with that? There is no move that slides her out and lifts that bulk off of her frame.
How do the bottoms 50% beat 99% of anyone they fight? They'd all have impeccable records and therefore not be the bottom 50% in their weight class.
I do understand and do not discount the advantages her skills bring.
They have a hard enough time getting competent women in the two weight classes they have. Why add a 3rd?
Don't doubt this for a second.. I am imagining the fight would look different to you if you weren't just rolling, correct?
Anyone
Ok. But Joe Rogan was talking about ufc fighters and so was I.
The question was would RR kick your ###, which we expanded to FBGs. Not JJ Watt or some other giant, athletic male. Of course that would make a huge difference.
Not a stretch to say the number one women's basketball player in the world could play in the NBA and would prob be better than half the field?
Who does FM lose to in MMA?
She tries to take him down, he connects with the kill shot while playing defense, she tries to spar with him
it's hard to say. I'm not a gifted athlete - I have success by being smart and playing to my advantages. I'm not gonna stand and bang with someone much bigger than me. I also know that, being a short, small guy, I'm much closer to the ground and can move faster. Also, i'm a southpaw, which means I lead my right leg (and my orthodox opponents typically lead their left leg) When I spar with big guys, low singles are there all damn day. I can get lower and faster to get in and take a foot, elevate, and drop them on their back. All I need to be concerned about is a knee coming up.
Thanks for the help, let me help as well as apparently you are missing the connection here. You're pretty smart, so this shouldn't be that hard.
the nba doesn't have height/weight classes. Look, RR doesn't really impress me, but I respect her knowledge and experience and would be willing to gamble that the 50% bottom tier of ufc men weighing the same as her are not as skilled and therefore, she could beat them. Judo etc are designed so that person with knowledge can defeat a bigger or stronger opponent.
Only because most guys won't eat bull ####.
let me put it this way: within the context of this discussion, there are two things that men can clearly do better than women: dunk a basketball and strike with power.
She tries to take him down, he connects with the kill shot while playing defense, she tries to spar with him
He doesn't even have a kill shot.
I'd bet he absolutely does, if he were fighting someone who is not a world class professional boxer. You can't make it to the level he has without developing enough power to be dangerous.
She tries to take him down, he connects with the kill shot while playing defense, she tries to spar with him
Seriously, what he lacks in power (and I bet he still has a more powerful punch than 99.9999% of the world since he has trained forever), he makes up with speed and precision.I'd bet he absolutely does, if he were fighting someone who is not a world class professional boxer. You can't make it to the level he has without developing enough power to be dangerous.

When the most dominant athlete in the world is a female basketball player, maybe we can have that discussion. Until then, we are talking about RR.
You can't grasp the basics of this.
It's not a boxing match. He wins a boxing match that's obvious. It's an MMA fight. There is kicking, there is wresting. Both of which he has zero experience in. that anyone thinks a boxer can fend off an MMA fighter with punches.
Nope. Not even close. He's the most dominant 3yo but would still lose to other older horses.
I absolutely think a world class boxer can fend off an MMA fighter with punches alone.You can't grasp the basics of this.
