At least in boxing if they fixed a fight you got your moneys worth.
Its not her fault that she is cleaning out a division of unqualified competition. What's Rousey supposed to do? She trains and does her job, the fact that the UFC has to hype up her opponents and try to sell PPVs isn't her fault. Its just that it will take years before there is parity in women's MMA. The best athletes have been going to other sports so you have to wait for girls who have been dedicated to the sport to make their way to the UFC first.

Rousey and Cyborg in talks for a December 5 fight at 135 lbs. Maybe just more hype but as a very casual MMA fan, I would watch this.

If Cyborg takes that fight, I wouldn't hold my breath that Cyborg passes the necessary drug tests or makes weight.

It's great that Ronda is clearing house.. absolutely. Isn't it a bit concerning that the women's division is the most exciting though? I haven't paid since Florian and Penn.. original.. sigh.

I want the glory days again.

The fight will still happen regardless I think. There will be too much money in it for it not to happen and it's probably one of the most anticipated fights in the a longggg time.

I thought it would be hilarious if UFC had an O35+ division, letting us guys who enjoyed the sport in the mid-to-late 2000's let our heroes beat each other up without getting decimated by younger talent

A. Silva suspended 1 year for failed drug test @ UFC 183.

http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/8/13...183-drug-tests

Quote:
evada Athletic Commission voted unanimously to suspend former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva for one year as punishment for a pair of failed drug tests in relation to his Jan. 31 bout at UFC 183. Silva was also fined his full $200,000 win bonus, as well as 30-percent of his $600,000 show money, and his victory over Nick Diaz was overturned into a no contest.

The NAC handed down the sentencing at a hearing Thursday in Las Vegas. Silva's suspension is retroactive to Jan. 31, meaning he'll be permitted to return to professional fighting on Jan. 31, 2016 as long as he provides a clean drug test. Silva is also required to reimburse the NAC's attorney and testing fees.

Weidman will defend his belt against Rockhold at UFC 194, it will be the co-main event as McGregor will face Aldo.

Rousey to face Holly Holmes Jan 2nd @ UFC 195.

What a joke, Holly is no where near ready for this match up, Ronda will ragdoll Holmes in under a minute.

Tate or Zingano deserve another shot.

Ya the fight with Holmes is a tad early, but what is the UFC gonna do? No one has provided a challenge for Rousey, so you might as well run through all the names before you start recycling fights.

Obviously Holm's camp are looking at the dollar signs for this fight.. either that or they're completely delusional. We haven't even seen Holm face against the other top tier women in the division. A split decision against Pennington doesn't scream that she's going to beat Rousey.
