    Ronda Rousey: Can ANY Woman Beat Her ?

    It took me a long time before I could watch women fighting in the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship). I know it's a great sport combining various martial arts (judo, ju jitso, boxing, etc), but especially having raised two daughters of my own, I cringe seeing women fighting, getting hit in the face, and seeing blood on them makes me want to jump into the TV screen and pull them out of that ring (octagon).

    I guess repetition does have its effect though, and after a while now, I've gotten used to it. So all that being said, we have a woman champion (Ronda Rousey) who, after 10 fights and undefeated, is the woman's bantamweight (135 lbs) champion of the UFC. She doesn't really look so tough, but she is built strong and has expert fighting SKILLS.

    It's been said that some of the women she's beaten are more well rounded, but Ronda has one big weapon. The arm bar. Everybody knows it coming, but no one seems to be able to stop it, and it wins every bout. The victim of it has a choice. Surrender or take a broken arm which will end the fight anyway.

    So here's the question. Can ANY WOMAN IN THE WORLD in this weight class, beat Ronda Rousey ? If so, step up.

    Maybe Cris Cyborg. Maybe.

    Ronda is a freaking beast. Just $#@!ing destroyed Alexis Davis last night. That kind of strength, technique, striking power, and athleticism is unheard of for a chick.

    She didn't even need the arm bar yesterday. She rocked Davis on the feet, hip threw her, and then knocked her silly on the ground.

    Cyborg is less of a cyborg off roids, imo.
    And if we should die tonight
    Then we should all die together
    Raise a glass of wine for the last time
    Calling out father, prepare as we will
    Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
    Desolation comes upon the sky..

    Possibly. Probably.

    Still want to see it, though.

    With Anderson Silva hurt, and the recent retirements of GSP and Chael Sonnen, along with Lesnars retirement a couple of years ago, Ronda might be the biggest star in the company. Who would have figured that?

    Awful pretty face for a fighter. Are these sports going the way of WWF?
