Instead Dana White is trying to sign Gina and have her fight for a titleshot.......right. While her run is fine and dandy I am pretty sure everyone she has beaten were faiely big underdogs to her, showing the lack of development/depth of the woman game at 135.
Yep sure enough the smallest favorite was -300 against tate 1 st time around, biggest favorite was at-800 against carmouche, -700 against Davis. Wladdy has probably fought competition with mostly similar odds and he's been doing it for 10 years and people still shit on him, if Ronda is still doing this in 5 years with a few challenges with much better odds thrown in then it'll be some sort of big reign....but as you can tell I don't mind watching her, but the ufc hype behind her is ridiculous!
World Champion Boxer Holly Holm has just been signed and in addition to 33 pro boxing wins, she is also 8-0 or something in mma.
Rousey is an excellent fighter. She is also a cunt. And she ain't THAT good looking. She's pretty, but she's not Mia St. John or Gina Carano or Laila Ali imo.
That said, she may well defeat Holm and Carano (who has been out for 4 years or something).
