    yes we know she can arm bar, but honestly i want to see something other that jab-jab-shoot-armbar, which is the exact same shit we have seen in ALL 6 of her fights. Not really her fault i guess and tbh you don't get paid for overtime. I thought the Tate fight was better though. Certainly slightly more competitive anyway. :-)

    TBH i expect strikeforce will sell the Rousey Tate rematch first, then after persistent moaning from fans we may see a Rousey Cyborg superfight. Doesn't sound like Tate wants a Ronda rematch anytime soon though. She is saying she doesn't feel like she deserves it etc.
    Dana is right tbh, there aren't enough female fights out there to peak interest. Ronda only has right now 2 more people that will be real big fights (financially) and that is Cyborg and of course Carano. However Carano is not on their level. It is her fame that would sell that fight though.
    Pretty sure Ronda will have had a whole bunch of rematches before her career is done. :-)

    e2a - problem is rematches are hard to sell when the first matches were so one sided. :-)

    As good as she is, her spiderweb can still get better. Ever see guys almost roll out against Eddie? Nope, he grabs the leg and uses arm crush to force arm bar.

    Grabbing the leg in Spider web might just be new to her and not be completely comfortable using it in high level competition yet. Or have a lower percentage with it compared to what she is already used to doing. A lot of memories go out the window when your adrenaline is pumping, especially the new ones. Would be awesome if Eddie asked her for MTS how long she has been using the swim move and grip break she usually uses

    I like the quick armbar finishes. I say if it aint broke, dont fix it, just have something else ready in case something doenst work out. I would think it would be harder to finish all your fights the same way when people know exactly what you want to do. Its hard enough just to finish people when they dont know what you want to do

    Also noticed Meisha Tate going to the deep hook arm bar transitions to finish her fight. Wonder if she picked it up from studying Honda

    Well regardless if shes not going to the perfect spider web she still has a 100% first round armbar rate as a mixed martial artist..Maybe she could have finished it quicker but shit shes still finishing it. As soon as Rousey laid her hands on Kaufman, Kaufman didnt stand a chance. Great game plan great finish
