No argument there, although I'd say watching Nascar is worse.It's just where we are as a society when you have enough idiots to watch it to justify that kind of payday.

You realize that Judo is predicated on leverage and actually helps smaller opponents handle larger ones. I've been around guys who could apply choke holds mid throw. I've also seen small women beat women half again there size on the ground by applying arm bars. And a 140 lbs is a lot different than a 105 lb spinner.
Brock Lesnar says hi!Yep with the size difference and wrestling one year in high school I would be very ashamed if I couldn't pin a female down that size easily. Her only chance would be if I got slipped into a submission hold. Its easy to counteract that Judo stuff she knows if you are a lot stronger and bigger than your opponent and know the basics.
I do believe Nunez got $200k for defending her title.All you had to do was say yes. Better yet, let's give them wooden spoons and rolling pins, too!
I do know one thing. As stupid as the sport of MMA is (and it is STUPID), Ronda Rousey just made $3 million in 48 seconds by getting her ass kicked on national TV. Not a bad gig if you ask me.
First off I don't really like her because she seems to lack respect for her opponents which is why she gets knocked out. Secondly it's not really her fault that she's overrated. In the 15 year or so history of UFC it has always been their thing to build up fighters as being invincible just because they get on a 4 or 5 fight win streak against overmatched opponents or opponents that have a bad matchup style. No matter how good you are at a certain style of fighting you will eventually run into someone who is will beat you because they are taller, stronger, better striker or grappler, and no matter how good you are there is always the chance you get caught with a one punch/kick knockout.
As far as Rhonda goes she would probably be smart to take advantage of whatever endorsement deals she can get now the way Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture did once they lost their "invincibility" labels in the ring....
I see Fever as one of those men that really enjoy these fights.Funny how Fever always finds himself in these conversations about beating up women.

I think she should get credit for the state of women's MMA. Before she came along it was a weak fledgling sport that She dominated to the point that women came out of the woodwork wanting to be like her. She made that division what it is today. She's a judo specialist in a sport that now has women that will kick some azz. I never liked Rousey mainly because they made her out to be some beauty queen and she's just not that hot. But I'll give her credit where credit is due. She raised the interest in her sport and made it a headline act.
It's not judo, it's jui jitsu. Took it for years when I was younger. It's great leverage and submission training. Can make even the biggest and toughest men give up and quit. It's great conditioning and a great tool for teaching leverage control. When I was the strength coach at my old high school we taught all our linemen and lb's some basic jui jitsu. Worked very well in shedding blocks. Just my $0.02
Happy New Year Gators!!!

She was not overhyped or over rated. Rousey was a pioneer in women's MMA, and wrecked the competition. Women had to evolve their game to beat Rousey, and it looks like Rousey hasn't evolved herself.
This is a similar argument with Fedor. Fedor wrecked and obliterated the competition, but he is a pudgy 230 pound fighter. When heavyweights got bigger, stronger, and faster, Fedor got older and didn't keep up with the changing division (Ok, guys were/are juicing).
