RONDA ROUSEY VS AMANDA NUNES | UFC 207, PATRIOT PICKS
1 out of 5 FLAGS
Well fight fans and patriots, Ronda Rousey returns to the Octagon to do battle with the Bantamweight Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 December 30, 2016. Ronda is ranked as the number 2 contender in that weight class so I guess she has the right to the fight despite her lackluster performance against Holly Holm on November 14 2015, a little over a year ago. You know I guess anybody can have a bad day but Ronda has had over a year to regroup after her fiasco fight against Holly.
Vital statistics are as follows Ronda is 29, 5’7” and 135 lbs and Amanda is 28, 5’8” and 135 lbs. So as they say virtually identical matchup in size, weight and age. Ronda came into the cage with her characteristic scowl and I am going to kick your ass face but that is about as far as it got, she came running up to Amanda and that was just about the end of the fight, don’t close your eyes or you might miss the so-called match!! Ronda put on the most dismal performance I have ever seen since I started watching mixed martial arts. I believe her whole strategy was to block punches with her face, I’m sorry but that only works in Rocky movies! Ask Ronda how that strategy worked out for her? I think I saw her throw 2 half-ass punches and even a weaker kick all through the fight. I believe Ronda’s striking skills are suspect and when she goes against a superior striker she falls apart as evidenced by this MASSACRE!! Some UFC fighters could dominate with grappling skills but they are few and far between, one for example was the immortal Matt Hughes, I personally didn’t think he was the best striker in the world, but his super-human strength, toughness and tenacity more than made up for his striking. Ronda I don’t believe is cut out of the same mold and it showed in the fight which only lasted a total of 48 seconds, that’s not a record but it didn’t take Amanda long to tear Ronda apart. Should we attribute that to Amanda’s fighting skill or Ronda’s HORRIBLE performance, possibly both of the former!!
Patriots, I used to be a Ronda fan but after she swore her allegiance to full-blown communst Bernie (Bolshevik,Sandman) Sanders, I lost my fervor for her as a fighter. She socked away 3 million dollars for this fight fiasco, when Amanda only received 300,000 dollars, I know this is from notoriety but I think the luster has left the Rose and possibly this is Ronda’s final HURRAH or it should be unless she refines her striking skills and works her way up through the ranks. Or just give 90% of her money to Bernie and fade off into the sunset at the ripe old age of 29. In the vernacular of some of my Asian friends WHAT A ROUSEY COMEBACK!!!
