A Nice Day for MMA: Ronda Rousey Makes Quick Work of Bethe Correira

Well, another win for Ronda Rousey and another quick one. This time instead of the armbar, she knocked out her opponent Bethe Correira at UFC 190 in Brazil.

In the old timers division, Shogun Rua beat Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (Lil Nog) via unanimous decision. They had a good fight in 2005 while in PRIDE FC, not sure if they duked it out with canes tonight.

And then of course Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (Big Nog) lost to Stefan Struve via unanimous decision to make the few PRIDE FC fans left weep as hard as they did when Ultimate Fighter bad boy and bed wetter Chris Leben knocked out Wanderlei Silva in 33 seconds.

Yes, another UFC goes down in the books.

There was also the Diaz brothers fighting UFC lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov in the crowd at WSOF 22 (which also took place tonight).

Stay classy guys. You’re great ambassadors for such a sport.

At least the MMA gods looked down on their trailer trash antics when fellow trainee and buddy Jake Shields lost via submission (kimura) to Rousimar Palhares in the main event.

Speaking of which, that is a guy who should be fighting in the welterweight division in the UFC and was wrongfully released for kicking Mike Pierce’s ass too badly. He can actually finish fights, unlike funky Ben Askren (another welterweight who has failed to get a UFC contract).

A solid night for MMA indeed.

Thoughts On Mayweather-Maidana Rematch

According to ESPN and the Daily Mail, Floyd Mayweather will most likely face Marcos Maidana in a rematch in early September later this year.

My thoughts?

Who cares.

The only thing good about Floyd Mayweather is you can bet your life savings on him every fight because he will always pull through. Seriously, how can you get amped up or excited watching a guy fight who is obviously going to win?

Floyd Mayweather is an interesting experiment. No matter the crappy competition he faces, he still rakes in over a million people who tune in to watch him fight every time. And Showtime can also ramp up the prices of his events due to that alone.

He does not knock anyone out often like a prime Mike Tyson did. He dances around for twelve rounds and always wins a decision as a result.

Credit where credit is due, he wins. And he’s one of the greatest ever.

People always cry about how he should fight Pacquiao. After Pacquiao was wasted by Marquez it was obvious he would have never gave Floyd much of a fight.

Whatever, I ain’t even mad. The arrogant phrase Chris Brown said in his “Look at Me Now” song applies to Floyd Mayweather. He makes what I make in ten years in two days.
