UFC/MMA thread for Sat 05/16 (Rousey/Carano + Fight Night)

[Blake Munroe]

What we thinking with this MMA event on Netflix? How do yall think it goes, especially Gina and Rhonda?

A pretty decent UFC Fight Night on Paramount as well.

What a ko! 
Brutal for JDS. 

I think Rousey wins prob by submission, although she looked like she was limping at weigh ins. Hoping for Carano though! 🤞I always root for Diaz and I’m going Ngannou by ko but I’m honestly not too familiar with Lins. 

[Blake Munroe]

Just my opinion but the production quality of UFC is just so much better. 

It’s not that Netflix is awful… it’s just…. Not UFC.

I didn’t see the limp. I’m hoping for RR 😂 

Agreed on your other two though!

So far both Netflix fights haven’t got out of the first round.

Still can’t believe we hosted RR’s stepson for a visit last year

I’ll always respect Rhonda and what she’s done for women’s fighting and I def think she’ll win. I just always loved Gina back in the day and remember her huge fight v Cyborg on my bday many years ago. This card is making me feel old! Lol

I think if she (RR) fought in today’s world… she wouldn’t be near successful. She had a run when the talent level was nowhere near the same as it is now. 

She definitely helped promote and progress the sport…. But in today’s UFC she’d be lucky to have anywhere near half the amount of success. 

That’s my .02…. Regardless she’s always been a favorite of mine.

Haha yeah that’s pretty wild.

The first two past their prime fights haven't been that great.  Hoping the RR vs. Carano fight is a good one.  Same with Nate Diaz.
