Who cares about Philip Rivers’ family life?

The fifth most talented draft pick in Sixers history would be like Maurice Cheeks — a borderline hall of famer.

Damn, this is a depressing list. What a shit show this console generation has been.

Uh, maybe in America but are you really considering the British occupation “barely oppression”? If so...wow.

That’s why I compared it, not to a single fight, but 12 full cards and even with that handicap the UFC falls a million buys short.

Asking for an honest assessment of a generational talent doesn’t make me that talent’s personal GK Chesterton, friendo.

Ok, I agree with everything you said except “the not putting in effort” bit (Floyd, like all physical geniuses, makes it look far easier than it is. His counter-punch game isn’t chess to someone like Holm’s checkers, it’s more like Europa Universalis 4 to checkers) so i think it’s best to tip the cap and walk away as…

Also, and this is going to sound meaner than I intend, a Ronda Rousey fan complaining about Mayweather fighting people past their prime is pretty hilarious at this point. Mayweather has wins over Cotto, JMM, and Maidana— the cream of that division. Who did Ronda ever beat? A semi retired Miesha Tate?

I can absolutely agree that it was an exceptional fight but I don’t think you addressed my point: it’s success is outside the possibility space for a UFC card, even an anniversary type of show. There’s not only NOT a single fighter who can draw to a comparable level, it’s arguable that the sport itself wasn’t as…

Mayweather wasn’t good for getting people to watch...and yet he’s arguably a bigger PPV draw than the entire UFC COMBINED. His fight with Pac got more buys than every UFC fight in 2014 combined at double the pricetag. Granted that was a superfight, but let’s be real about who is a bigger name in sports. Ronda’s…

You could make a case for Roy Jones Jr as well.

I don’t know, this seems like sour grapes from the shellacking you guys took this weekend.

I’m by no means a die hard MMA fan, but I’ve been hearing the “Ronda’s not that great” stuff for quite a while from people who ARE die hards for a variety of reasons, only some of which were highlighted in her dismantling at the…

Sounds like he was dead on

Not a lot of counter punches in judo?

Haha, nope

That sounds like one of Sakuraba’s fights against the Gracies.

Ideally, MMA fighters should be balanced, but Holm certainly proved why western boxing remains the gold standard of striking

“Rousey isn’t Floyd Mayweather, Jr. She doesn’t want to win on points.”

She also clearly lacks Floyd’s mastery of his sport. This site always taqkes the piss out of TMT (and rightly so) but NO ONE EVER forced Floyd to fight their fight. He was utterly masterful at controlling pace and space in every fight he ever…

lol

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

SIGN HIM UP TIM!

Yeah, but she didn’t win because she had a puncher’s chance or some such. Ronda walked into punches for two rounds and was utterly outclassed.

Nice try though, bud. You weren’t the only outlet that ran with the narrative.
