No doubt in my mind at all that Meisha's arm will get wrapped up in the first 2 minutes...Ronda Ronda Ronda!

My problem is that I vote too much with my heart. I just can't pick against Miesha Tate.

all you got to know is her last opponent would not tap  out and rousey broke her arm. look it up on youtube. all of rousey fights are probably on YT. all of rousey fights have been under 65 seconds too.

So, she's the Shane Carwin of the women's division.. with a little Frank Mir DNA in her? Maybe she was constructed in a lab?

thats a good description of her. she is built like a tank (but in a good way) and has a bronze medal in judo at the olympics. plus she is training with nick diaz right now. i saw the video two days ago.  i think miesha could defend for one round but eventually rousy gets her sub. her nickname is rowdy which she asked rowdy piper if she could use. he said yes.

Bad news for Tate. And, as an aside, I -- apparently unlike many others -- think Rousey should stay far away from Cyborg for now. If Rousey can make 135lb, she should stay there for a bit and get some more fights under her belt. Cyborg's not making 135lb. Call it ducking; I call it smart.

This might be tricky for Rousey. She cuts no weight to fight at 145 and women lose water weight a lot harder then men. Not to mention that cutting almost 10 percent of your body weight isn't easy. So in a title fight where she has to come not an ounce over 135lbs the first time making the cut she might lose a lot of strength and speed.

i like ronda a lot, but it would probably be a interesting fight if she can't get the arm in the first. and would answer some q's about ronda.
but i'll pick rousey by 1st rd sub if this is gonna happen anytime soon...

Bad stoppage? Rousey vs. D'Aleio







Rousey looked really good, and she may have finished it there or soon anyway.. but at this time, looks like it was a bad stoppage. Mazzagatti shouldn't have gone by what Rousey said. Refs need to pay attention to each fighter!

Looking at the size of each fighter.. Ronda is obviously quite a bit bigger. Tate looks like she walks around at 135. Rousey looks like she walks around at 150. Could Rousey make 135 comfortably? I know it's harder for women to lose weight than men, too.

Wasn't there a little more to it?  Didn't D'Aleio start saying "Tap Tap" and Rousey then looks at the ref and told him she is verbally tapping?  During the in cage interview, D'Aleio admitted to saying something, but claimed it wasn't the "tap tap".  Idk... I believe she did verbally tap and got irritated when Rousey got the ref involved... but I am not certain of all the facts.

Check this link and go to the 3'50" mark.  D'Aleio doesn't seem real genuine when asked what she said... "I said eehh  ehh"??  Who knows though...

@Kalibo - the video that I posted showed the whole thing, even the post-fight interview in the cage. You posted the exact same thing that I did.

My apologies, but beyond us posting the same vid, what are your thoughts on how D'Aleio's reacted and responded when directly asked what she had said?  You can tell her elbow did come out there like Rousey said, you can tell D'Aleio definitely verbally expressed something... What makes me believe she did say "tap" is her response when asked after the fight during the post fight 'view.
