Spuzz not like she's a beauty queen...Even when she's all dolled up and airbrushed in the magazines she looks just OK....Her body is like a stump...And her personality is just meh, pouty and look at me. Gina Carano puts her to shame.

    She has some acting aspirations which she alluded to on the talk shows.
    I wasn't inferring she was a beauty, just the less ugly mutt of the bunch.

      Hey, I give her credit. If for nothing else than convincing Dana White to take a chance on her. Her courage pretty much set her up for life financially, and however flash-in-the-pan-ish her career was - she certainly played a huge role in driving interest toward the women's side of things in the UFC.

      Not sure how far this goes from here as far as the women, but one thing's certain - there are a lot of people who'll pay good money to watch two women to beat each other's brains out.

      I just don't happen to be one of 'em.

        PA-PLAYA good point....I give her respect for what she has done for the sport, she was the main storyline in a male driven sport for a few years....She brought a lot of fans to the sport that would have otherwise never watched

        No disrespect for Rousey as she helped bring women's MMA to the forefront. She was exceptional against all comers until the strikers got into her weight class. She whooped everyone that was in that weight class and was doing it in minutes instead of rounds. But as others MMA fighters have found out you need to have more than one style of fighting to continue to stay on top.

          letthebigdogshunt yep....I always think about Royce Gracie....He dominated for nearly a decade....No one even knew what BJJ was back then and he was getting guys in holds they never saw....They didn't know what to do. Back then he could wear a GI, so no slippage, could pull hair, which Royce did. He was dominant, people were scared sh1tless of this guy, he was beating heavyweights and he was 170ish. Put him in with today's MMA fighters and he would be middle of the pack, no GI, today's rules, and his sucky striking, with nearly everyone being versed in BJJ....Everyone else caught up, sorta like what's happening to Rousey....Both pioneers and influential, paving the way for something big.

            sdandrea1 and he looked so damned intense and downright mean. Friggin animal in the cage. That's how I'll remember him with that damn look on his face like he was about to rip your arm off!

            Any you guys remember Tank Abbott? I'll never forget that dude... big, fat, and the appearance of an utter sociopath. I remember one of the first UFC fights I ever watched, Tank hits this guy and the guy just collapses and looks like he's having a seizure. Thought he killed him.

            Tank hung around for a few months, but it didn't take long for him to realize that there's more to MMA than street brawling.

              Gracie still lives in MMA many of the fighters today have black belts in BJJ.

              Tank was from my hometown of Huntington Beach,Ca.
              That dude was always getting in trouble and came into the MMA back in the days
              when there were NO weight classes and only two rules:
              No biting and no gauging the eyes.
              Kicking a guy in the balls was allowed back then and so was a LOT of other crazy chit.
              Tank wasn't very quick,but if he could catch you he'd probably knock his opponent out.

              Ronda is going to go the way of Gina Carrano. In a year or so no one will know/care who she is.

                Hoss7504 except that Gina is actually smokin! And she's done quite a bit of acting since stopping her MMA career.
