    Credit to Ronda for staying on her feet but that was scary.

    People will be upset that Ronda bailed out but I like them not interviewing fighters who got KO'd.

    Rousey needs to go to a camp where she can learn to kickbox. Doubt that'll happen.

    You guys are the best. Family will be family for life and that will never change.

    Goldy signs off in a very Goldy way.

    I feel like he deserved better TBQH.

    Nunes' win was amazing but I hope the MMA scene doesn't lose sight of the fact that Cody Garbrandt, still pretty green at 25-years old, handed Dominick Cruz his first loss in almost a decade.

    Rousey looked like she didn't take one step forward at all....backpedaled from the start..didn't look like she'll hang much longer

    Thoughts...

    Props to Garbrandt. As a fighter, he is definitely more mature than I have him credit for. I thought he would be an emotional wreck. Very cool to see him topple Cruz. Very powerful and smart fighter. I think he will reign as champion for a long while. Also very cool to see him be so humble in victory and the story about the kid who beat cancer. He definitely won a lot of fans over.

    Ronda is a pioneer of woman's MMA, but just like Liddell, Couture, Hughes, and the other greats, the game has evolved passed her. It was always coming for her...someone with good TDD and elite striking was always going to beat her. I didn't want her to win due to her media blackout and the pure hype of her comeback, but I felt bad for her in defeat. She got completely schooled. It was like watching a regular joe trying to fight a professional. If she continues to fight, I hope she changes camps. If she doesn't, she needs to retire.

    Rousey will fight again...the money for a comeback is too big to shake off and another first round loss/payday will keep her in the public eye...my guess for her would be Dolph Lundgren action movies from here on out

    Diana Prazak, one of the world champion boxers brought in to spar with Ronda Rousey, claims that Ronda's coach Edmund lied when he said Ronda was dropping girls in sparring with body shots.

    Shocking, I know.

    *spar, but there are rumours that nobody was actually allowed to go in on her, so more like shadowbox
