Good for Gina. She had to cut way more than Ronda did. Looking forward to this fight!

well yeah, she was a whale before. She's got so much loose skin she had to wear that top to cover it up during the weigh in. Ronda's going to destroy her. And I don't even consider Ronda a great fighter. When I was a teenager I was in love with Gina tho.

I mean, just going by how they look at the weigh-in there... yeah, I'd be going with Ronda. But I'd rather see Gina get the win. She could probably use it more.

Ronda's been emphasizing her judo training for this match. She is going to destroy Gina.

As long as we get a great match where they aren't holding back I'll be happy.

Shesus. Worst fight I've ever seen in my life. I'd rather watch that last Tyson Paul fight again.

From what I heard it was a blink and you miss it match. Then Ronda retired.

Gina didn't expect to be speared with a body tackle like that at the beginning. And honestly seconds before she was put in the armbar she was doing that "embarrassed smile" while on the ground.

She was prepared for a striking fight and the immediate grapple caught her off guard completely. I was rooting for Gina as a comeback story all the way, but Rousey just used skill and went in for the kill. Which honestly? Is authentic as hell in a real fight - put your opponent down very hard, very quickly and shut them down.

I hated that fight but respected the hell out of it. Honestly we were all sitting in my family room eager as hell but as soon as the armbar rolled over I actually said outloud "fight's over"; and by 18 seconds in everyone had the "open mouth, wtf" bewilderment going.

"Didn't expect". In other words, took a dive for her buddy so she could end her career with a win and make up for her loss that made her leave MMA in the first place.

Don't we all wish. Especially in her prime.

I had never seen an MMA fight before but I got curious after I had read the comments here.

Let‘s just say it‘s not going to become a habit.

Thank the lord that the Rousey Carano fight was on Netflix and not something that had to get paid for individually.

And you know I'm not buying her claim that she's lost 100 pounds. She just didn't peviously look THAT heavy to me. For the record, I think she looked better before the weight loss.

She literally ranted on a huge post on twitter about how she had to do so much work to go from Jabba the Hutt to looking good again. She lost 100 lbs. Why are people still trying to gaslight that she wasn't a fat ****? She literally talks about the struggles she went through, how she was unhappy with how big she got, with how she became pre-diabetic and how Ronda was the one who kept inspiring her to be able to get into shape once again.

Gina was never a great fighter, I mentioned that when the fight was first announced, the fight went like it was going to, they're different tiered fighters even if both of them were just hype and nothing else. She was popular because she was the first hot female MMA fighter that was decent, she just hit her limit early in her career and moved on.

Cause nowadays the woke police and the fat movement types like to jump all over your **** if you call a fat woman fat. Al Bundy would have a field day with them because he wouldn't care.
