@ror Aoki has been trying to add striking into his arsenal because when he can't get somebody down, he gets knocked out. Being able to win almost all of your fights is great, but when it doesn't work, you need to be able to stand too.

She needs some crafty take downs if/when she fights Cyborg, because she can learn little tricks and fundamentals all day but would still have nearly no chance of outstriking Cyborg

yeah, Ronda is a *****, but her personality is irrelevant... she told what she would do, and she did it... so, nothing but respect for her game.

Two fights i didn't feel bad at all for picking the wrong guy (or girl): this and the Daley fight

I think Steroid Santos would win 9 out of 10 fights with Rousey. Just saying.

What did we learn tonight? 

Womens MMA needs to be in the UFC. Out of all the fights tonight the two WMMA fights delivered most.

Aoki will never be a good striker.  Just look at the guy and you can see his body isn't made for it. 

Rousey is such a good athlete that she's got a lot more potential to be a good striker.  She's fast, athletic, moves well. But that doesn't mean she's anywhere in the striking department yet.  She got tagged easily by Tate and has a ton of work to do.

@mike No it doesn't. The divisions are waaay too weak to be brought over. Also, wmma is not for the casuals....at all.

Steroids or none, I still think Cyborg is dangerous. The difference maker however, would be the weight. I don't know how Santos would look like at 135. If Rousey tries to armbar her, Cyborg will slam her.

Rousey can be sweet at times, but there's definitely a mean/crazy streak in there. 

On top of that, she is smart enough to realize how to sell fights and make people want to tune in.  She's playing it up for sure.
