The hyper-bowl, the favoritism, the outrageous claims...

It is damaging his credibility in my mind.

"hyper-bowl"?!? Do you mean "hyperbole", you incredibly stupid motherfucker?!?

Jesus Christ, stay off the internet until you learn English

Dat's just Pussy on da Chain Wax!

Joe was slaaaaaming Eddie Bravo for suggesting that Ronda could beat some 135 men on the latest Fight Companion Podcast.


This sounds like a Zuffa script to me...

Rogan is in a tough spot where he's smarter, richer and a better fighter than 99 percent of this forum.

That's going to get people upset on a regular basis in itself, but when Rogan gets a little preachy or condescending then it sends some people into a complete tailspin.

Just be thankful he's hitting you clowns with words and not spinning shit.

I find it very difficult to take Rogan seriously because it's hard to tell when he's being honest and when he's simply pushing the UFC's agenda. He often sounds like one of the many shills on this forum.

66

Rogan has gone from a voice of reason to a sauced out of his mind caricature of a pitch-man for Dana.

Rousey wouldnt beat the majority of 135ers on the regional scene, let alone men currently in the UFC.

It definitely was one of his dumber moments. Even Rener who's so hyped on Ronda he's comparing her to aliens is saying "uhh i'm not so sure about the beating men thing..." lol.

Joe jumped the shark with his conspiracy stuff about the moon landing a long time ago.

71

jwg - So either Renner Gracie is agreeing with Joe because Zuffa paid him and he's lying when he says ""There's no doubt that she can put it on some men, for sure. I've seen it happen, and really do some damage."

OR a bunch of haters online are trashing Joe Rogan for saying something positive about Rousey.

Which one could it be...... Hmmmmm.......
Who are these dudes going 100% in sparring with ronda? Total bullshit, if a guy dropped her in sparring then they'd most likely get greenlit by travis browne or something Phone Post 3.0

A lot of stuff that Joe says is pretty out there. His talent is in keeping up a constant stream of consciousness chatter on interesting subjects, he's not delivering scientific truth. Phone Post 3.0

he jumped the shark around the time anthony from opie and anthony got kicked off his show..

Imagine the UG's disdain as Uncle Creepy signs the waiver and the UFC books the first man vs. woman fight..and Ronda just comes out looking like GSP vs. Hughes. An even more bouncy, muscular and limber Rowdy explodes looking like a straight killer on the feet with the in and out movement of Pacquaio.
 
 
the effortless efficacy.
 
 
 
Creepy giving up massive amounts of weight gets hurt by a big knee to the body, he's shooting boom Ronda throws him on his head..Ippon Playboy.
 
They are back up on the feet and Creepy is smirking after going for a ride. Creepy just can't believe it, he's frustrated and desperate for a finish so he lunges in with his chin wide open swinging haymakers BOOM Ronda lands the headkick and finishes with ground and pound.
 
 
 
I'm not ashamed to admit that although I like my little story, it's more than likely that Rowdy MUSCLES an armbar  submission much like this. "TAP TAP TAP TAP!!!" Ronda is always improving though so I think the headkick is realistic.
 
Thoughts?

You know my opinion is that there are exceptions to the norm with anything.

Of course men dominate women in athletics, but we have seen it time and time again on wurlstar/youtube a more skilled and technical opponent will almost always triumph over a stronger, lesser skilled opponent.

How many times have we seen an aggressive, overconfident male who mistakes himself for an alpha lion in the concrete jungle get manhandled in the clinch by a trained female grappler.

I believe this analogy applies with validity in regards to Ian McCall vs. Ronda.

I think that Ronda is too fast, too sharp and technical on the ground and too well versed in clinch grappling to even struggle with Ian. Now I respect the dynamic of the male beating a female typically, but when you are dealing with a female sized male that changes with a quickness.

It's not like McCall is dropping people standing, Ronda has a definitive KO power advantage and she will use it without hesitation, with her superior hips she will deliver a death blow to his elven frame.

WidespreadPanic - 


Yes he's being over the top, but doesn't mean he wants them to fight, he means she's more capable.



I do not agree, unless we're talking a sub-grappling match with no time limits.



OTOH, RR DOES beat any 135lb untrained male on the street 10 of 10 times, unarmed. She beats any untrained, non-athletic male under 200lbs also, IMO.



I can't even think of another athlete in a non-combat sport at 135, who doesn't fight, whom she could not beat (by 'man on the street' I mean average dude at that weight or under in the cage with normal rules for MMA)



 


If you guys are tough enough to talk about a male beating up a female, you better be tough enough to remember she's swinging back and with authority.

WMMA fighters have shown time and time again they are more readily willing to engage in a kill or be killed type of fight. I'd like to see a guy try to put his hands on Ronda, I really would.

Against someone who fancies their footwork more than their killer instinct, a real bloodthirsty berserker like Rousey with her top of the food chain aggression is going to shine.

Rogan knows what's up.

You're blind to the offense these girls and now guys are running into, just as they are.



 





 



You forgot the knockouts, you forgot the power.





 



Like I said..You forgot she's swinging back.



 



AND IT IS ALL OVER!!!
