They'll sell someone else. That's what sports leagues do.

Correct. Rousey is way more marketable.

If only one side knows it is a dive, then yes. Still not saying it was a dive though.

she had zero resistance and barely threw a punch.


Nunes looked a bit shocked at the beginning at how every one of her punches was landing on the button. Rousey had zero head movement.

literally looked like trash from off the street fighting


Ronda has had her arse handed to her by both of the legit strikers she's faced. She's not a striker, but she wants to knock everyone out because early on she beat the shite out of a bunch of cans.

Please can someone explain to me why Rousey purposely instituted her weakest discipline (striking) as her primary offense tonight?.. And against someone who far out classes her at striking.. By a mile.

She literally couldn't have planned a worse strategy. Why did she not try to go to the ground immediately?

Nunes won't draw like Ronda. Ronda was sexy and marketable. Some of these UFC girls are lacking in the marketability department despite their skills.

UFC needed Ronda to win. But of course they sold already so who cares.

Rousey's stand-up game has to be the worst in MMA. Her standup looks like something you would see from a chick on her first day entering a gym.

She did the same shite against Holm. She's an idiot and she has a horrible training staff. She thinks she can knock everyone out because she crushed a bunch of bad competition early on.

They won't be able to market her as well. With RR, there was an inkling of believe that she was hot. Nunes can't be sold like that.

Well the thing Nunes jumped right in and rocked from the get go. At that point it was over, regardless of what her actual game plan was

Was just thinking the same thing.

She got rocked by a striker in her first loss. I would have thought she would be better prepared.

Hell, I could have defended myself better than she did tonight.
