I've been reading a bit of her mother's blog. I know it's wrong, but there are some yummy pics of Rhonda on there:

I just checked out his wiki article. I remember there was a thread either here or somewhere else listing the legitimate martial arts backgrounds of a lot of professional wrestlers such as Tazz (Judo), Bad News Brown (Judo...Olympic Bronze medalist...holy crap!). Wish I could find that list again.

I put pictures of her in the hottest women of the world thread to avoid sullying the focus on her fighting ability.

Ah, note taken.

But her push-up technique is so flawless.

Besides, with me, if you can fight, everything you do has hawt written all over it.

To address fighting ability so that this doesn't become a "lolz hawt" post (due to me, of course), I would love to see some extended fighting time on the ground. It doesn't have to be a three round war but I would like to see how she fares in a more prolonged ground battle. It will begin to answer some questions regarding her overall grappling skills.

A bronze at the Olympics and silver at the world champions not anwser enough questions?

At the risk of sounding pervy, I'm curious to know how well she works off of her back as well

Clarification. Grappling skills if she is the person on the bottom and someone is trying to rain down pain.

Trust me, I've seen her videos, her grapples the 'leet. But again, I want to see how she does in some Big Nog type situation...i.e. getting blasted and come up with the sub, sweep-to-sub, or something along that line.

Ahh ok, so you want to see how she uses her grappling under pressure in MMA. That's a pretty good request, because no one has put her under any pressure in an MMA context yet and so it could go badly wrong first time it happens...
