Julia Budd vs. Ronda Rousey - Cuz Ronda, that's why

[Lampa]

While I don't want to take away from another amazing show of takedown skill and athleticism, I think that we saw here that Ronda's entry is a little sloppy. She admitted that she got tagged more than she should, especially given how dominant she was once they did clinch up.

I don't mean to pick nits, as so far this has been the only chink in her armor, and one she easily overcame with a hard nose and a solid chin. But, against a 145er known for her knockout power, like the fantasy match we've all been talking up, it is a problem the Rowdy one will need to address.

I would have put that in the thread specifically about Miss Rousey but it got creepy in there by YMAS standards.

Yeah i kinda wish i could take my name off that. Hope video turns up soon.

Wow, that elbow didn't look good at the end.

Daaaaumn. Gene Lebell must be proud.

[DKJr]

Omg that arm! Her striking does need major work, but holy **** that armbar! Damnit what a display of dominant grappling.

"Rousey by Armbar" will now become the dominant message board meme for ladies' MMA.
