I love watching rhonda fight. Its always entertaining to see her pull off a slick armbar. But like almost every male, yeah i look at chicks and rate them. Doesnt matter if shes the sexiest chick in the world or the most fugly hag. If she fights good, ill watch her. Look at cyborg, she looks like a dude, but that doesnt change the fact that she brutally smashes chicks. Which i enjoy watching, just wish there was someone like her that could bang and give her a challenge.

Yeah bang was probably one of the best things to ever happen to that camp. But they gotta be careful not to become k1 fighters and get away from their bread and butter which is their wrestling. Id like to see alpha male expand their camp by getting bigger guys in and not just 145ers and under.

Can't believe Blanco lost to Corrasanti.

Tapology's picture of Rakoczy has me confused. 

She doesn't look like that.
