Mrs Rousy, it's time for your meds

[Homicidal_Squirrel]

Yeah, knowing the Diaz brothers does not add to the smartness you exude. The worst part was that all of her team gushed about how awesome and cool it was to have Nate there. One English dood even said his one kid was named Nate ... and he was named after Diaz. Can you believe that sick ****?

Well, the guy is English. As years of MMA has shown, the Brits have no clue when it comes to MMA. I mean, their best, and most well known fighter, is Michael Bisping. Obviously they would think that Nate, or Nick, are good "fighters."

As four Rousy, yeah she's about as intelligent as a box of rocks. Her crazy stupidity fits in well with the Diaz crew. Just look at any Nick or Nate Diaz interview. They burned out their brains years ago from all the toking they have done.

 

[Zombie_Babies]

Yep. And this season so far has shown Ronda really ain't who we were led to believe. She's just a chick Diaz.

 

[Homicidal_Squirrel]

Yeah, pretty much. She won a bronze in the Olympics, and beat a few people using an arm bar. She doesn't seem to have much else in her arsenal. She has one move she does better than everyone else. Eventually she'll get caught going for the takedown, and she will eat some nasty punch or kick that will end her win streak and show that she doesn't have much else to offer.

 

[Zombie_Babies]

Yep. Ya gotta figure Tate has a better chance this time but who knows. It's not like she's superawesome either. She was handling Kat well and then lost and Kat's no Ronda. I bet Ronda is pretty unhappy she has to face Tate again, though, since Zingano probably would have been a much easier armbar to get.

 

[Homicidal_Squirrel]

Yeah, I'm guessing that Tate has been practicing takedown defense. She is going to need it. Rousy is good, as long as she gets the other girl down. Liz Carmouche did pretty good against Rousy. If Carmouche had better striking, she would have done much better, and could have possibly won that fight. Hell, Carmouche managed to take Rousy's back and go for a submission. Someone with better striking, say Cyborg, would have rocked Rousy early.
Rousy seems to have the same striking defense as the Diaz brothers: Block with the face.

 

[Zombie_Babies]

And that's why I would have given Zingano a shot ... if she wasn't inexperienced. Kat can bang but Ronda would just take her down and sub her. Hopefully Tate's got some new game against the TD or, at least, the armbar. It's no mystery what Ronda's gonna try to do. All this hate stuff she's talking about is crap. Once it happens she'll try to armbar her way to a win again. I don't see her standing if she can avoid it.

 

[Homicidal_Squirrel]

Yeah, Ronda isn't going to stand and bang with Tate, or anyone. She doesn't have the striking skill to Win a stand-up fight. If Tate has figured out how to stop the takedown, she can win the fight. I'm curious how good Roudy's cardio is. She hasn't gone past the first round in any of her fights, has she? That may be a tactic. Make her use up energy going for the takedown, and take her into the championship rounds. She may get winded in the second or third round And not new able to do anything afterwards.

 

[Zombie_Babies]

I dunno, the quick looks from the show have me thinking he cardio is legit. It's just how she trains - and training with the Diaz brothers does also typically indicate decent cardio. That's all it indicates other than a need to hate your opponent, totally insane belief in your abilities and that to be a fighter you need to eat punches.

None of it matters if Tate can't stay on her feet or get back up when she goes down. Ronda's judo is nuts.

 

[Homicidal_Squirrel]

Yeah, someone should remind Rousy she won bronze not gold. As for her cardio, yeah, she probably does have good cardio. But you never know. She might get frustrated if she can't get Tate down early. Hopefully Tate has worked in her takedown defense. Hopefully Tate has worked in wrestling. Wrestling seems to be the thing to beat even the best jujitsu.

 

[Zombie_Babies]

Yeah, hopefully she has. I also hope that Ronda's been sufficiently Diaz'd that she decides to stand and bang instead of using what she's actually good at.
