Yep. It's likely her "walk around" weight is closer to 150 than 135. There are only a handful of fighters that walk around the same weight as they train to fight at.

I remember Roberto Duran would often get upwards of 175+ between fights at Welterweight (147 lbs.) and have to train down.

The only fighters I can think of off the top of my head would be Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquaio who probably didn't gain much weight while idle.

And as stated earlier in this thread, those might be average sized men but those are not average men.

So this thread can hypothesize that an "average man" would have no chance against Rousey, but only you can define the key variable of what is an average man?

You are basing your opinions on watching one woman fighting another woman.

I'm basing my opinion on watching very average size men, incarcerated yes, but otherwise physically unremarkable, having to literally fight for their lives.

It's a level of violence you can never truly understand unless you have witnessed it for yourself.

When you watch the product of 100,000 years of the evolution of instincts designed to protect your clan or family, and other survival instincts that are encoded in the DNA of men, manifest itself in about 5 minutes of violence, you can see things that you can only hope to forget. It is the base nature of the evolution of the man/woman dynamic that no amount of pussy riding will change.

If this is all about you once getting beat up by a woman, and trying to justify things, it's probably time to move on. That being said, though it may be a bet I lose once in a while, my money will always be on the average size man against any woman.

Well one observation is they literally look the same height and weight... And without a doubt shes carrying more muscle.. I mean that dudes got fricking bitch tits for cripes sake

If she gets both hands on your average untrained friend, he's fricked. She throw him on his head and have an arm bar on him in about 10 seconds.

If they just throw hands, your friend has a shot.

I gotta go with the average man on this one.

Eta: oops, thought this was about who is better looking

I don't know how you fight, but I have no problem fighting dirty. I'd smack her with a damn chair. Of course, I'm also 6'2" and 210 so I could skip all that and just pick her up and toss her around like a rag doll.

Ronda would lose most fights against average men because she's not a good fighter. The fights she won are from submissions against women she could out-muscle. That wouldn't happen against most men. Watch what another woman did to her...

I believe you. I am talking about the scenario th OP presented. Average. smalll schmoes, not killers.

Just watched it. I read the comments and the guy is a TV personality that trained to fight her. I guess he could be considered an average guy. Average guys can't fight very well. They throw big haymakers that rarely land, and leave themselves open for a counterpunch.

I did some boxing when I was very young and it taught me how to properly throw punches. It served me very well in highschool and college.
