I'm with Kaufman too. I used to like Rousey but she CRAPS ON EVERYONE. She had a go at Michael Phelps for being an introvert and not wanting to mix in Beijing. Also, Kaufman is freakishly strong, which I admire, and she likes to wear neon blue, like me. So, yeah...rooting for Kaufman on this one.
Yeah sadly Rousey has gone the way of many sports stars, fallen in love with what she says and is now just annoying. I mean I should like her. She's a great fighter that breaks arms for a living. What's not to like? But her media personality (and maybe real personality) makes me favour Kaufman in this one.
What got me was her giving out to Michael Phelps for not wanting to socialize at the Olympics other than with people he knew well. She seems to think the entire world should behave a certain way to suit her.
Haha, I never like Rousey before it was cool, first interview I read from her, and she just talks trash.
Having just watched the offending interview, you've somewhat misrepresented her. I'm gonna go for Rousey via leglock.
comments on fight Interesting fight... Spoiler 30 seconds to win... shows what training regularly for high level sports competition gives you. Rousey really is in a class above most of her compeition so far Video highlights are online at Spoiler http://www.mmafighting.com/2012/8/1...s-sarah-kaufman-fight-video-highlights-armbar LFD
Spoiler jesus christ... Sweet game all round. Box into clinch... dominate clinch... combine throw attempts to put opponent on back... mount... mounted armbar. TTFO. Talk about on sided. Smooth.
It just confirms the answer to the most common newbie question of 'which martial art should I do'... Spoiler Do Judo!
actually i think what it shows is Spoiler become an Olympic level competitior in a sport and then you can destroy your opposition who simply dont have anywhere near your athletic skills lol, Judo isnt dominating Ronda is lol i dont think she will meet anyone who can challange her until one of the japanese wrestling teams decides to make a run at MMA then watch out
Spoiler surprisingly so, I expected much more from Kaufman she's an experienced hand and I thought she'd put up more of a fight.
Spoiler Its a shame the top names in Japanese female mma tend to be on the lighter side, there probably the only opposition that can realistically compare with ronda skill wise at this point, unless some new competition starts coming up its hard to see where she goes after a fight with cyborg should she win, which is the likely outcome in my opinion.
