Can I make a side bet that it's by armbar?

Can I make a side bet that I will go to sleep sexually frustrated after the match is over?

I find Rousey to be a bit overhyped and remain skeptical as to her ability to deal with a fighter of Tate's experience who's just coming off a submission win over BJJ goddess Marloes Coenen.

I'm not sure Rousey will have such an easy time armbarring that one. I'll go with Tate by TKO in the second.

I don't do those. Putting odds on such predictions is kinda silly.

Right, I don't think you've fought enough nor have you trained enough to understand how devastatingly disorienting getting thrown is for your ground game. Tate doesn't have the defensive ability to stop someone of Rousey's throwing skills. Basically Rousey will win with judo for a while until people can come up with a way to stop her throwing power.

Or prevent the clinch and blast her pretty face. I'm pulling for Ronda, despite Tate being more well rounded. Hopefully it's more than 1minute though.

Right, Tate isn't a specialist in blasting people's faces. Learning to avoid getting KO'd by a relatively not that great of a boxer is a lot easier than learning to avoid getting thrown and taken down by an OLYMPIC LEVEL JUDOKA.

Rousey will pretty much own this division until someone can find the paper to the rock that is her judo. It's going to take an Olympic level wrestler or something to combat her judo. I seriously don't think you guys understand how difficult it is to stop a judo player who is that good and fast especially when she's got the resources she has for judo, boxing, mma, etc.

A G down on Rousey.

Round One TKO via Juji gatame.

Don't be lumping me in with these people! You'll need a world class wrestler/boxer to stop Ronda. That or some Shina Aoki girl who would hop guard and sub her.
