Coming in I thought this card was going to be forgettable outside a few fights and I was wrong. I love the cards that look weak on paper that deliver.

i know i should be in awe with Ronda and ****... but as every fight ends, my wish to see Ronda's face bashed in by a good striker goes stronger as ever... i know she has mad judo skillz but i am sure that will eventually happen... she can't take a punch, i'm just waiting for the right woman (*cough*Cyborg*cough*) to show up... congrats Ronda.. Enjoy your fame. you will go down soon.

Liz made a fan outta me tonight.  Ronda's truly one dimensional and will absolutely be exposed very soon.  Before this fight I wasn't sure, but now I am.  Cyborg would kick Ronda's ass.  She really will make Ronda her *****.  For now, congrats to Ronda.

Also awesome to see Koscheck get TKO'd.  The stoppage was maybe a little early, but whatever.

lol at Rousey being exposed. Carmouches' armbar defense and jiu jitsu in general is stellar, yet she lost by armbar just like everyone else.

I also have to laugh at the Rousey being exposed rubbish. Carmouche just like the last few challengers said they'd been practicing armbars day & night so there's NO WAY they'll get caught in an armbar. What happens?........ you know.
That's the beauty of Rousey's finish. It's the finish EVERYONE say's won't happen to them. Any MA/MMA fan will know how ridiculously difficult it is to finish EVERY fight with an armbar. Think about it. She's really that good. Let's not forget that Rear naked choke that turned in to a crazy face/head crank that Rousey got out of. I though Carmouche was going to break he jaw with that crank.


Rousey is tough. Accept it. Stop hating because you think she's a one trick pony. The Cyborg thing is annoying too. She walks around at 165Lbs. She's practically a bloke & looks like one too. It won't happen at 145 & I don't blame Rousey for staying at 135 as that's her weight. Cyborg needs to be sex tested anyway!

yeah but you know, Cyborg will beat her. That's why she asked for a release from her UFC contract. Can we stop talking about this now kids? This fight; It's not gonna happen.

Tito and Cyborg in Zuffa's media center. Doing interviews. I still think she has a secret deal with the UFC.

Cyborg would beat Rousey like Jon Jones would beat GSP! I think that's a fair comparison. Massive size difference. Accept it. Pointless arguing about a fight that won't happen

Yeah, almost as pointless as thinking there's a definitive answer for a hypothetical situation that may or may not happen. Accept it.

People talk about Ronda being this tiny little fighter compared to Cyborg.  It's almost as if Ronda's never fought at a weight class above 135.  Oh wait didn't the majority of her fights, even including tonight, come at 145 and up?  Yeah.  Hell she was 155 in the Olympics.  Ronda wouldn't even fight Cyborg at 140 though.  Lots will disagree, but I think Ronda's afraid to fight Cyborg.  Meh.
