Can't understand why some get their jollies by watching two women beat the **** out of each other. Whatever</p></blockquote>
Keeps them from kicking MY ***.
Seriously tho, some people just like the athletes regardless of their gender. I for one don't like team sports. I prefer to see the work somebody puts in not get ruined cuz one of the other people in the team didn't do what it takes.
Marathons are cool too I love to see those fkn crazy runners cover 26.2 in 2:10. It's insane. You know hard you have to work?
Ironman triathlons are the **** too. Dedication, perseverance, focus.
**** me, I whine when I have get get off the couch to get more Cheetos.

Ronda's jaw is broken in 3 places.
I have not heard that. What is your source?
It was a heck of a fight!

Here is the entire fight. I know some of you guys don't like/agree with it. You don't have to watch it.

I saw the broken jaw thing yesterday about 10. Don't remember what site had it. We were just looking up fight commentary. My wife found it again last night by accident. Neither source seemed shady. I haven't heard any different except here.
What footwork ! Her positioning was incredible.

I did a couple of Internet searches trying to confirm the broken jaw and found several sites that said it wasn't true....including the head of the MMA. It would be easy to see how she could have a broken jaw given the hits she took. If nothing else, Ronda proved she can take a punch, there is just a limit how many punches anyone can take.

Well, if her jaw isn't broken, that's not bad news. I seriously wouldn't wish that on her. Hell, that will just ensure a rematch happens sooner than if she was broken like that. From the video, I didn't see how her jaw would have broken, but what do I know. Maybe not.
I'll be looking forward to seeing their next fight, because I don't see a much different outcome. Guess we'll see...

Agree. Compared to Holly, Ronda has very deficient boxing skills. She is a arm puncher brawler that drops her hands when she attacks and doesn't make any attempt to make her head a moving target. Holly has been boxing for years perfecting her skills, Ronda is not going to be able to catch up to Holly's boxing skills before a rematch.
Anyone notice how Holly's hands were wide open when she wasn't punching? I'm assuming she was doing that to catch/block punches....which wasn't really necessary against Ronda.

Wow. Did not expect that outcome at all. Thanks for posting the link, Teehami. (And I guess maybe it's a good thing for Ronda nobody took her up on her offer to fight Floyd Mayweather, though).
A rematch would be a different fight, I'm thinking, with a different plan for RR going in. Glad nobody MADE either of them do this, btw.

Relaxed muscles react much faster than tense ones, and helps to add 'snap' when your fist clenches just prior to impact, and relaxes immediately following. It's easier and faster to parry with open hand, (not block, which is force against force), and allows the fighter more opportunity to 'stick' or tangle the opponent's arms, which can indeed set up for a 'catch', leading to a throw or takedown, (watch the BJJ and Aikido practitioners). Finally, the open hands make a larger visual distraction and screen for your head.
Holly does have moves.
My kid, an ex-MMA fighter, now BJJ specialist, was in Vegas on Saturday. He saw the fight odds at 12 to 1. Got to thinking, went down to place a bet and odds were now 8 to 1. He placed $10. His uncle was there and said, place $20 for me. Kid: $80 richer; uncle up $160. Son said that was his first sports bet ever.
My son retired with a 2-win 1-loss professional record. Yup, the loss was his third pro fight, stopped TKO second round on a cut below his eye that took six stitches. The post-fight photo was gruesome. He said he was done having people pay money to watch him kick (or get kicked) in the head. He also said too many of his coaches and contemporaries were exhibiting signs of punchiness - brain damage.

First, that's cool that your son was skilled enough to have a professional record. It's also cool that he decided to get out. I know some guys that do MMA and boxing stuff, and some of them have serious issues.
We have a benefit boxing match here called The Rumble in Rio. Basically a cops vs firefighters boxing event and the money goes to help injured cops and firefighters. They've asked me to fight. I told them, "Hell no. I don't get hit in the face for charity." Then we ended up with a guy on light duty for the concussion he got in round three.
That's rough ****, and a good way to end up forgetting how to tie your shoes. I wouldn't do it.

I agree.
But, if they fought in the nude...
I think,... no, I know.
I would look at it differently.
I would love to watch that if it was A.J's home STREET girl that was fighting (Or not fighting) !!!I agree.

Over the hill--and going faster!
I always have really mixed feelings about boxing and MMA, While I love to watch both, at the same time, I hate to watch two people batter each other. The UFC's claim to being safer than boxing has long been shown to be a lie--a number of fighters have died from it.
Yet having trained in Karate and other martial arts for 9 years I have a pretty good idea of what's going on and what the fighters are doing, especially in MMA. Due to hip replacements, aging out, (and a dojo that increasingly became f'd up) training hasn't been an option for several years. But I also know there is NO WAY those fighters should be using those tiny un-padded gloves, no foot/ankle padding, and no helmets. If football players get so much traumatic head injuries while wearing full helmets, the damage to young people's heads from NO protection, barefoot head kicks, and knuckle-duster gloves has got to be 10x worse. I remember one fighter, knocked out, woke up and asked "Who won?" His coach answered: "Not you!"
The fact that these two fighters were women isn't really relevant. They are both great fighters, but also, like all of them, at great risk. I hate to see someone beat bloody or senseless, but a great submission hold is pure thing of beauty and as indisputable a win as a knockout or TKO.
