Knowing Ronda's strength, Tate's armbar defense could have been better. I think she should have turned into Ronda and dive her elbow to the mat. There was nothing the other way. Easy to say from my couch!
If the ref would have stopped it that would have turned it into a contraversy. Now there is no doubt, Honda is the Champ.
No doubt sure but at the price of her arm? We all know when it's over, maybe not the general public. Refs job is to protect the fighter so the fighter can fight til the end knowing the ref is there to protect. If that's how I made a living, I would want my arm. Having no doubt is for our benefit, not the fighters.
That was one hell of a fight! I'm gonna watch it again..!
Ronda has crazy techniques.. should be fun to see her striking evolve, and if she becomes good with the rubber guard it would be awesome!
Megamegu and Ronda, my favs..!

i disagree, an arm is not a head. You can recover from a broken arm, not brain damage. The fighter knows when the arm is going to break, if the ref gets involved they would of been uproar from meisha. Unlike head trauma, where the fighter could be oblivious to the consequences during the moment of a fight.
