Excited about an upcoming fight? Want to make predictions, or just give people a heads-up that there are some fights on? We can do it here.

(Also a good place to complain, dicuss, and agrue about the outcomes)

I mean you have to be a fucking moron to shell out $60 for a PPV with Rousey headlining the main event.

Rousey is a legitimate monster on the ground.

Bullcrap. Rousey isn't that good-looking at all.

The reason why I don't like women's boxing is because women aren't usually worth a damn at striking. In the UFC, they are almost all submission artists, and its a contest to see who can land the submission first.

And that is fine. UFC fans like both strikers and wrestlers, and there are plenty of popular men who don't do much unless they are on the ground.

...and of course right when I post that, we get a fight between 2 of the only female strikers. LOL

Oh well, it was entertaining, Kaufman should win that decision.

No different than the UFC, when Dana keeps trotting out Frank Mir as the company sacrificial goat in the HW division.

The reason why your point was a bunch of stupid bullcrap, is because no one would give a damn about Rousey if she was not the champ. This isn't an Anna Kournikova thing, none of these MMA chicks are really hot at all.

Sure, some of them might clean up well, but they are not models. If they were not entertaining to watch in a fight, they'd be nobody and their division would not exist.

If you think the women's fights are garbage, you aren't really much of a MMA fan, because they are entertaining to watch for the most part.
