    I saw Nunes try to touch gloves, but I don't think Rousey did so.

    It's not a matter of it being "male-dominated", the problem is that the women's division got too good for someone like her to hang.

    Now I wanted to see Nunes vs. Cyborg next year, if Cyborg does not get a longer suspension by the U.S.A.D.A.

    Rousey touched gloves before the fight, but didn't touch gloves during the fight when Nunes raised her hand.

    Nunes hits a hell of a lot harder than her opponents expect. She gets everything into the shot with accuracy and full extension, too. Rousey ate a lot of those shots. But the damage was done by punch #3. I was hoping to see them grapple....

    Rousey had a good run. Paved the way. Great poster child for a while. Hopefully, the UFC will find Nunes some competition.

    I mean Nunes can pull a "McGregor" and move up to 145 to win the newly-created women's featherweight title.

    Great way to end for the year of the underdogs in UFC 2016

    Someone needs to watch for Honda's mental state though. No joke

    Ronda rousey is the Brock lesnar of women's mma.

    They both have no stand up game, not well rounded. Both got in mma and won when their division was weak.

    Both were hyped up as unbeatable, baddest fighter in the world.

    Both of them got exposed by superior stand up fighters.

    this is why I can't get into mma. the mixing of upright and floor fighting is just too weird and rarely do you see a fighter have elite skills in both. because of that you get some "legends" look like noobs who can't perform simple fundamentals.

    Because the majority of casual sports fans are complete fools and don't know anything about the sport they're watching.

    "Mayweather was just running away the whole fight, what a p***y!"
    "But he had twice as many punches as his opponent?"
    "Uhh his punches were weak, shouldn't count at all."

    "Uhh Curry can only shoot 3s off illegal screens and would be a nobody on a mediocre team."

    Most of these people only watch these sports for entertainment and don't understand the mechanics at all.

    Embarrassing, utterly embarrassing. I kinda felt bad for her, it was so bad. How will she work in WWE? What is going to be her gimmick going in?

    Tyson had a way longer stretch of domination. Ronda was never that impressive. 12-2...

    Anyone that knows Jiu Jitsu at a decent level would likely beat Mayweather.
