Sick!!!!!!
In my opinion, as a white belt, she probably got it due to her swim move to spiderweb. In all reality, Miller's arm bar was probably a more difficult sub, do to having less control than one would have in spiderweb. But not everyone might understand that concept. To many, the swim move just makes it seem much more technical than Miller's. The anticipation of whether she would be able to pull it off again may have played into it as well. Just my two cents.
Badass!! ;)
I thought they were both sick arm bars though. I'm happy either way. I guess you could make the argument that Ronda already had made enough money though :)
but those bonus are subjective there not the most technical awards, but those that get people off their feet "highlight reel kind of moves"Quote:

And to finish on topic, Ronda deserved it IMO. Anytime she keeps hitting the one thing that everyone knows is coming and still can't stop it should take something super special to beat her for the bonus.
Ronda hits arm bars easier because of reps, in Judo, if you don't hit the initial throw correctly for Ippon, then you finish on the ground with either a pin or submission. Since your supposed to have control over your opponent all the time, you usually have the arm to begin with. I. E. arm bars all day!
this is perfect. Avoid damage plus break an arm!
