She is clearly the most dominant human in any sport - maybe of all time. (Rocky Marciano?) Lance Armstrong was that, but he cheated, and I think she exceeds his dominance even with his drugs.

Even at this incredible level of conditioning these women don't look much different than a normal woman, and next to a man at the same level, they would look like different species. Humans are more dimorphic than the culture wants to admit.

On a related subject that I'm not sure came up here: Bruce Jenner is woman of the year? That has got to hurt you girls. At least he doesn't have penis envy.

Despite the bluster, you know damned well that Correia was terrified. You could see it. She was undefeated, and probably never scared of losing before, but she knew this was the night, and she probably knew it the moment she signed for the match.

Hey, Bags sounds like a big fan.

The more I learn about Rousey, the more that I like her. She was asked by a young Marine if she would go to the Marine Corps ball with him and she said yes.

She seems to have both feet on the ground.

Yay!

She told me to say that stuff, and of course, I said "yes maam."

The shit talk that Correia put down for months on Rousey before the fight simply fueled Rousey and when it came time to pay the piper, Correia thought she could control the fight. You could see her trying to pace it, but Rousey wasn't having any of it. Once she push her to the fence she opened up and then the doofus moment when she tried the take down and Correia rolled out of it, but with no guard up was a simple invite for Rousey to get inside again. Too late at that point. Knocked the fuck out with a punch behind the ear.

Has anyone lasted a full round against Rousey? What a force of nature!

Methadras said...

I don't think so and this next upcoming fight with Holmes might go more than one round, but I'll be surprised if does actually. Endurance is the name of the game in MMA. If you get gassed to early, you give up because you neither have the energy or the will to go on.

When she was growing up her mother, a judo champ, would wake her up in the morning by putting her in an arm bar and giving her all the practice anyone could want at that hour of the morning in getting out of it.
