Just rewatched McMann vs Rousey....

Rousey by arm bar Phone Post 3.0

I disagree that McMann was winning.

 

I was actually kind of shocked at how easily Ronda controlled her in the clinch.  I though Sara would be able to achieve something resembling a stalemate in the clinch, and she did nothing of the sort.  Rousey was (wo)man-handling McMann up against the cage.  That is why Ronda was able to land all those knees.  Sara tried like hell to get her back off the cage and couldn't do it.  She'd escape for a half-second and Rousey would put her right back on the cage and go to work with those knees again. 

Except mcmann didn't complain about that stoppage. She knew she was done. I'd love to see them fight again sometime in the future though Phone Post

Gotta say I disagree with the OP.

every "weakness" we have seen just cant seem to be exploited so is it really a weakness?

Some got her back all of a sudden she is supposed to be choked out right away.. hasn't happened.
She has been hit, all of a sudden she is supposed to be getting knocked out.. hasn't happened.

People love to hate her but I truly believe the girl is as good as advertised. Her hands are getting much much better, her clinch is very well documented and that fucking arm bar is incredible.

Also does anyone else not notice she is the ONLY champ to have a 100% finish rate?

yea she sucks

Check out the penetration of the knees into Sara's body. No wonder her system went into shutdown and she fell to the floor.

And let's not forget that the stoppage was highly questionable.

I do agree about the stoppage. If it were two men fighting that wouldn't have been stopped. Phone Post 3.0


Go back and watch again.  When Herb Dean sees someone buckled on the ground offering ZERO defense (hands on liver fetal tuck, not even a guarded crouch, full on zero defense) it will be stopped.  She recovered quickly once the pressure was stopped, and possibly could have recovered in the match, but you can't bank on that when they are completely defenseless.  Even the Carwin/Brock he had hands up trying to pretend to defend.. so it wasn't stopped.  If he had his hands down in total shutdown it would not have continued.

The rematch will never happen until Ronda cleans out the division and dominates Miesha for a 4th time. Phone Post 3.0

Ronda went DEEP. Phone Post 3.0

Arlovski was "beating" fedor too.... Phone Post 3.0

She will get the rematch after she whoops Tate Phone Post 3.0

She was winning till she lost?

That is some convoluted logic.

I guess I need to re watch it, because I don't think this assessment is at all accurate. I remember Sara giving Honda a striking lesson before knee.

Love to see a rematch. I think SM has a lot more to show. Phone Post 3.0
