What ever happened to supporting the underdog?
>>
> moyes
>>
I dont think people are cheering for Rousey necessarily, its just that there is no reason to believe this girl has a shot
>>
when is the catfight?
>>
Supporting the underdog is only really prevalent when people are either bored of, or dislike the favourite.

Most people still love Ronda and enjoy watching her
>>
>>63552623

yeah when is this shit? australian timezones fucking me up man
>>
>>63552716
its at google o'clock
>>
I live in new mexico so everyone here is rooting for Holly
>>
>>63552559

She is the epitome of puncher's chance, though.

So, she literally has a shot.
>>
>>63552810
literally everyone has a punchers chance when the sport is punching
>>
>>63552320
Don't worry big, strong Americans. """We""", in Australia pride ourselves on """""rooting""""" for the underdog
>>
>>63552844

And now you realize "X has no chance" or "X has no shot" is one of the plebbest things you can say about literally any competition or sport.

Thanks for coming ;^)
>>
>>63552320
People support Rousey because she is straight destroying people. She's entertaining to watch, even if you only get like 90 seconds of a fight every time.

I like watching her because she is like Tyson, she fights really pissed off and you get to watch someone get knocked out.

>inb4 comparing MMA to Boxing, you know what I mean
>>
>>63552320
When it comes to female athletes, attractiveness drives 95% if the interest.

Rousey is pretty fuckable, otherwise nobody would give a shit. This other chick looks like an ugly stepchild.
>>
>>63552914
>he thinks 'there is no reason to believe she can win' is the same as 'she has no chance of winning'

THANKS FOR PLAYING BROOOOO
>>
>>63552320
>le only uses punches to set up headkicks girl
>>
Is Rousey actual good by mma standards or are her opponents just?
>>
>>63553063
Both of those statements are true
>>
>>63552907
This isn't cric, RWC is over and Hayne was cut. No one cares for this meme anymore.
>>
>>63552810
she doesn't have a puncher's chance

she has exceptionally little power in her hands, even for a women's bantamweight, and Ronda has shown a good chin
>>
>>63553124
Silly BSA, shut your pretty mouth and let me speak... for (you) (Bane meme and 4chan culture hybrid reference)
>>
Where can I see the fight for free ufc 193
>>
>>63553063
she's good. But what makes her different than other girls is she's so aggressive.

You can watch her fights and see how off guard everyone is because most of the girls fight with high guard and she bascially pushes forward until her opponent has their back against the cage
>>
>>63553163
>shut your pretty mouth and
Well...just because I dont care for the BSA meme doesn't mean I won't suck you off...
>>
>>63552654

This desu. Nobody wanted to see Douglas beat Tyson. They paid 50 dollars to see some fatass get knocked the fuck out.
>>
>>63552758

suck the twat juice from my bellend, yeah?
>>
>>63552320
I'm rooting for her. Rousey needs to be knocked down a couple pegs.
>>
>>63553515
I'd like to see her get beat just so All the Rousey fans and bandwagoners shut the fuck up.
>>
the main card starts in half an hour, rondo probly not for another 2-3 hrs
>>
>>63553612
>I'd like to see her get beat just so All the Rousey fans and bandwagoners shut the fuck up.

You know that these Rousey fans and bandwagoners exist because she's the only dominate and entertaining one in her division let alone in female mma, right? You can't really blame them always favoring Rousey when she brought people to the sport (female mma, not mma in general) and still giving a reason why it's entertaining, at least when it's Rousey fighting.
>>
The only people Rousey is really bringing in are waifufags.
>>
>>63552810
>>63553149
She doesn't have a puncher's chance, but she does have a kicker's chance, even if just an extremely small one. One headkick and the fight could be over.
>>
>>63553775
Oh I know why they exist. Only an idiot would deny that she is the face of female MMA. However, I'm tired of hearing how she can't be beat, how she's invincible, etc. I just want her to be knocked down a peg because it would be nice to witness the butthurt and excuses that would ensue from all those people.
>>
i will be having a word to mook about banning ufc discussion here as well
>>
>>63553852
Ronda is not losing holmes so why get your hopes up
>>
>>63553926
I don't have any hope of her losing. I'd just like to see it. I'm not even watching the fight because I don't want to watch 30 seconds of the inevitable.
>>
>>63553811
Joanna is the superior waifu desu

Another meme main event, she should just spar at the gym until someone is good enough to fight her instead of taking away main events that could otherwise go to good fights
>>
did anyone else know Holly used to be a kick boxer
>>
>>63554203
This is why you aren't in charge of a multi million dollar company
>>
>>63554561
You're right. There's people like you who will happily pay the money to watch a 30 second main event. I'd be more interested in cards for the real fans of the sport who enjoy a good fight instead of meme fights

So yeah, I would not be popular with the board of directors.
>>

>people like you who will happily pay the money

yep. That's why pic-related was so popular. It's why Danica was popular. It's why Kournikova and Sharapova were popular. Hope Solo and Alex Morgan too.

Not to be a dick, but female athletes suck. That's just biology. Rousey would get knocked the fuck out against any of 100 male fighters in her weight class. So since we can't judge them on their skills we go by looks. Fortunately most women are at least decent looking when they put that much effort into their bodies.
>>
>>63553063
Most of her opponents didn't start mma training until they were adults, and Ronda was born into a judo family. It's an expert facing beginners, basically.
>>
Yall stupid, Ronda can lose.
>>

Just find them on Reddit. It's cancer, but they always have stream links.
>>
>>63552320
Nothing happened to supporting the underdog. Rousey's last few fights were against disgusting cunts, so Ronda gets the support.

Holm is a good fighter and I think a more based person than Rousey. I would love to see Rousey lose tonight. But Rousey is so much better than Holm that we know it won't happen.
>>

That fight wasn't even close though. Wasn't Rousey the best female fighter in the world by a large margin?

This an upset or everyone underestimating how good this other bitch was? Didn't really look like an upset to me so much as it was some bitch getting rekt.

thanks OP I'm going to use this from now on

the opposite of you know what
>>
>>63562266

Ronda's boxing and kickboxing is nowhere near the level of Holm's. Yet Ronda wanted to go out and prove she could box by beating the best female boxer in the UFC. Instead she got handled like a bitch.

I still believe (and we'll see when Rousey vs Holm 2 happens) that if Ronda stuck to her fucking roots she would have been able to eventually get a hold of her, or a takedown, and make her tap.

Of course it's hindsight, but that was a fucking dumb as shit gameplan by Rousey. That was Tim Silvia vs. Ray Mercer tier stupid gameplan. Should have gone the way of Couture vs. Toney.
>>
>>63562266

we havent really seen a fighter like Ronda thats why everyone was jizzing all over her

but Holly length simply fucked her up. Ronda should have definitely had a different game plan. Holly used her skills to her advantage. It was both a terrible game plan by a shorter stubbier Ronda, and simply an ass beating.
>>
>>63562266

>fighter

Hugger, that's why she's tsundere for mayweather.

Only problem: money can actually fucking land a punch.

Rousey was hotter.
People want the champion to be hot.
I can imagine Holm putting me in a headlock while were both naked, but my boner isnt nearly as throbbing.

Now if I imagine Rousey putting me in a nude headlock, I imagine myself accidentally breaking out of it and knocking her out.

Let me tell you something, I've been watching combat sports for 30 years, and no fighter has ever impressed me as much as Rousey has. I've seen all the greatest. I've seen 100's of championship fights. I've seen it all man. Rousey has that something special that I've only seen in very few fighters. Fighters that are still undefeated. Fighters that kids and men aspire to be. Rousey is special let metell ya!!!
