TUF 18: Team Rousey vs Team Tate (Discussion Thread)

yea im sure most others feel different but honestly Tate looks better than Ronda to me -- better body and all

I'll take Tate over Rousey too. Rousey has nice facial features, but they dont mix well together imo. From what little of Rousey's personality I have seen in her pro-career she is a horrible person. I expect to be really dis-liking her by the end of this season of TUF.

yea to me it seems like Rousey believes she made WMMA popular and happen, when I think it was more of she was in the right place at the right time to take the spot light,

^ that would have been the perfect response... but sometimes it's hard to think straight when somebody is being plain idiotic in front of you. It's kind of hard to believe it is really happening and you kind of don't know what to do.

 

I thought this was gonna be bad, but Ronda is just below the acceptable line.

Yah Miesha made the 2nd fight to her advantage since ronda's guy has a messed up hand, and ronda cries because she did the same exact thing because she thought Shayna would beat Pena easily. Rousey always annoyed me but she's taking it to a new level, she's hurting WMMA by acting like this. Morgan, Duke, & Pena have to be the favorites to win it on the women's side now

Rhoda just takes everything too seriously, and its not like her life was all roses and lemonade. She has had some rough spots in her life (if you watch the ufc countdown for the carmouche fight you know what I am saying) so I don't really have a huge problem with it. The argument (albeit a HUGE stretch) is that you could say that rousey (in terms of getting women's mma into the mainstream) views her self in the same path of the early ufc fighters in that she is the pioneer the biggest name in women's mma. You could see where logically that can contribute into why she acts like everything goes her way.

 

 

On top of that, she is probably one of the most competitive people that I have seen, and she isn't used to failing at anything. From winning a bronze medal at the olypmics to winning all of those junior judo competitions. She, being Rhoda, does not know how to react to failure of any sort.

 

 

 

Lastly, yes she acts like an arrogant bitch a lot of the time, but you have to take a look at things from her perspective. Everyone has their issues, just some more than others.

Just counting down the days until she is forced to fight Cyborg, that will surely humble her fine ass. Ronda is very slick on the grounds everyone knows that, her stand up is not very good though. I can see Meisha getting the upset but would not be surprised if another arm-bar was the end result.

 

If Cyborg makes it two 135 and signs with the UFC, Ronda may be a great porn star or something down the road who knows.

***Spoilers if you haven't seen episode 2 yet***

 

 

 

Wow how good did Pena look in the second round? Pretty big upset that, already LaRosa and Baszler two of the most experienced girls eliminated now.

 

Halfway through the episode I thought they were setting it up for a Pena win with the editing of the show, making it seem as though Pena didn't even belong in there and that it was going to be a total walk over for Shanya. They could have just been trying to build her up as a force but I thought they overdid it a little and just made her and Ronda etc come off as arrogant and cocky, which is kind of a shame as I'm sure she's not like that in real life. Ronda probably is though :D

I disagree, Shanya is indeed very cocky in rl, this loss should humble her a bit though. And Shanya gassed out bad after round 1, that's why Pena looked so good. Not saying that Pena isn't good, she's awesome.

I don't know her so perhaps she is, they certainly seemed to dwell on that though in the editing, while focusing on Pena not being confident in her own abilities etc. It looked like the classic underdog comes good storyline to me.

 

Agree that Shanya did appear to gas, she had nothing in the second round and while she won the first round quite convincingly she didn't really do a whole lot other than dictate the positioning on the ground.

I felt the same way about the editing,it felt like obvious foreshadowing,i wanted to see more of Tim Gorman though unfortunately his injury killed it

Yeah just wish they would have kept him on the show just to stir shit up, would have been nice to see a chick choke him out or something.

 

BJ Penn's facebook page announced Dana White will pay for his medical bills, surgery included, and assured he will get a UFC fight. We may get to see some of him IRL after all.

I was a Rousey fan before this but after watching her on here i can't stand the bitch. I was so happy when Baszler lost too she talked herself up so much and even after the fight saying she was 3 times the fighter her opponent is. Rousey is just a huge kid thats never been told no by the looks of her. I also let out a laugh when Rousey made a fool of herself at the end telling tait she would pay for laughing at her girls pain and Tait was like "wtf are you talking about Shana is my friend".
