OT: Ronda Rousey KO'd in 48 seconds by Amanda Nunes
Well it was a TKO (technical knock out). Ronda got relentlessly pummeled and was struggling to stay on her feet. The ref mercifully called the match.

Just in case anyone wanted to discuss anything else.

I have one question only:
Does this mean we never have to hear from or about her again?
December 31st, 2016 at 9:18 AM ^
It means you will hear from her a lot as soon as she talks to HHH and gets started at WWE NXT in Orlando.
December 31st, 2016 at 10:13 AM ^
This. So nice not to hear about her. She's not HAWWWT MANN...she's a wimp when she gets beat and evidently she's not a great fighter. Aka, nothing special.

A lot of hype, but shits the bed when it matters.
Where have I seen that before.

MSU has won two big ten titles, a rose bowl, and a cotton bowl the last four years. I would much rather have that. Current directions of each program notwithstanding.

"A lot of hype, but shits the bed when it matters?"
Rousey made women's MMA relevant. Until her first defeat last year, she was the sport's biggest star, male or female, and was an undefeated champ at 12-0. She also won an Olympic bronze medal in judo, the first US woman to ever medal in the event.
I am just wondering why someone whose main strengths are judo, jiujitsu and grappling was doing going toe to toe as a striker in her last two fights against fighters who specialize in striking. She has been getting some terrible advice from her trainers.
If she quits today, she ends up 12-2 as a pro and 3-0 as an amateur.

Good points all around.

but she would be no match for Fred or Barney.
A judo, a chop, chop, chop.

I really dont think she wanted this fight against Nunes. Mentally she was finished after that first loss. Im not 100% on her contract with the UFC but I think she took part in this fight for a paycheck and to not breach her contract. She didn't even attempt a strategy change from what got her knocked out last time. Stood there and took a beating for a few seconds to get paid.

You had a good gig going there for awhile. Take the money and run. (When you're able to run again, that is.)

...with a society that gets a thrill out of seeing its women beat the crap out of each other. Quite honestly, it is sickening.

If that's what they want, then why shouldn't we feel entertained when we watch them? That's the whole point of their job.
If you've got a problem with it, then don't watch. I'm just not a fan of double standards when we all enjoy watching men voluntarily beat the crap out of each other on the football field, in the ring, or in the cage, but heaven forbid two women decide to do it.....

...if a couple of guys/gals voluntarily chose to run around in a cage and stab at each other that would be okay and we should enjoy watching it? Sorry, but the idea of something being acceptable because people "choose" to do it is just twisted logic.
It is up to society to set behavioral standards. Those chosen standards then affect the direction of its people. Equating a football game, where players are just blocking or tackling each other, with two women kicking and punching each other in the face in the hopes of knocking the other unconscious is nonsensical.

So running full speed at someone and hitting them as hard as you can is OK but punching someone is sickening?
I'm not a UFC or MMA guy in the least but if 2 people want to go compete on a level playing field in a safe environment then by all means they can and people are entitled to enjoy the competitition.
I'm curious as to where you draw the line?
Football/hockey? Boxing? Pro-wrestling? Amateur wrestling? Martial arts tournaments?

Football players don't ever die, suffer broken bones, suffer severe head injuries, have shortened life expectancy, live in chronic pain
Football is fine
Boxing and UFC is not fine
