God damn that right was brutal. The ref have Alex every opportunity to fight back but no good. After the eye gauge, that dude DESTROYED alex and fucked up the whole Light Heavey Weight Division.
Gus will be back. Shitty that he got screwed out of the rematch he was given, but it looks like that may have been the right call. I am guessing the next big LHW non title fight to be gus vs cormier.

Those last 2 blows landed were borderline disturbing, for not having a major cut or Anderson Silva-esque a broken bone. No reason the ref should've kept that going to that point.

they came pretty fast though. had he stopped it before those 2, it may have been seen as an early stoppage (especially for the hometown hero in the main event). then those 2 blows came very quickly, and the ref acted as quickly as he could have, in my opinion.

His wwe contract is up soon. Dana is trying to schmooze him back to ufc since the heavyweight division is paper thin.
That's a very flattering pic of the lady in the lower left hand corner...
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
Thread integrity: I'm glad I didn't order the game...$50 for 14 seconds of entertainment? Crazy! Reminds me of that Tyson fight-was it that one? The TKO in the first 30 seconds or something?

I'm pretty sure that with all her PX90, RKCNDY could kick Rousey's ass.

Uhhh...not even. Rousey is like solid muscle, I don't look like that, don't even want to look like that.

Yeah, the mike tyson comparisons have been flying around, especially after this fight. It will be intersting to see how rousey handles herself if someone comes along who can defend against her takedown explosiveness. I just dont know if that woman exists. Lol

I was reading an article that said there are women who are as quick as Rousey, and there are women who are as strong as Rousey, there just aren't any that are both. It's almost to the point that there isn't anybody at her level that can compete with her. Maybe Kat could have given a good fight, she probably shouldn't have come at her with a kick right off the bat.
I remember watching Rousey fight years ago, thought it was cool chicks were fighting in UFC.

My buddy said the same thing about Kat rushing her, however, no one had ever done that before, so while it was risky, the potential reward was high. With some like rousey, you have to try unorthodox things to get her off balance. Had rousey avoided the other way, we might have had a different outcome.
