- Johny Hendricks stated that he will retire from MMA if he loses to Neil Magny. (It's not a knock on Magny, more so that Hendricks' career is basically done and he knows if he can't win this fight, he should quit -- he is 1-3 in his last 4 fights, and that one win was him taking Matt Brown down 9 times and winning by decision and not doing much damage at all).

- Matt Brown was expected to face former Strikeforce Welterweight Champion Tarec Saffiedine at the event. However, Brown was pulled from the fight on November 11 in favor of a match-up with former UFC Lightweight Championship challenger Donald Cerrone three weeks earlier at UFC 206. Brown was replaced by Dong Hyun Kim on November 16.

- Maryna Moroz was very briefly linked to a fight with Jessica Andrade at the event. On December 7 Moroz was replaced by Invicta FC Strawweight Champion Angela Hill. Hill was then ruled out of fighting at UFC 207 because of a rule in the UFC's anti-doping policy with USADA. Subsequently, promotion officials have not determined whether or not they would attempt to find a replacement to face Andrade, or reschedule her for another event.

- Sabah Homasi was linked to a fight with Brandon Thatch at the event. However, Homasi pulled out due to injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Niko Price on December 12.

Thanks to the PuertoRican for letting me use this content (https://www.liquidpoker.net/poker-forum/1145969/UFC_207:_Nunes_vs_Rousey.html).

I do think Rousey will get rocked from not being in the ring for so long and just crying and drowning in her tears all this time. :'(

I watched the last fight of Amanda Nunes and Meisha Tate on UFC 200 and she means business when it comes to striking. Rhonda Rousey will have a hard time knocking this girl out and I think UFC should have at least paired Rousey to a contender to the Championship Belt and not to the Champion it self. Rhonda is coming out from a loss and she is coming back straight to a title shot. I don't think it's fair to the #2 in line.

Its a good matchup. I think Rhonda Rousey gonna have a hard time knocking out Nuñez. Its a hard comeback fight for Rousey. But if Rousey takedown Nunez, she has a chance winning this bout but its gonna be a hard because the striking of Nunez. Nuñez is a dangerous opponent, she can knocked you out if she wants to. This will be a good fight.

The best way for Ronda Rousey to have a good chance in winning is to have a mental coach. Dominic Cruz would make a good one for her because Cruz believes that every hard challenge can be overcome by using the mind. He once said that ring rust is all in the mind. He has proven to be correct when he fought TJ Dillashaw for the bantam weight championship. I speculate that Ronda is in the same kind of situation.

Wow Rousey is back, i hope she win versus Nunes. So Rousey can get a fight versus Cyborg. I hope this will happened, Rousey vs Nunes. It will be a good match though.

if rousey looses this match against nunes i am here to bet that she will commit suicide  :P ,since she could not handle a loss is just pathetic ,before she was cursing all of her opponents and disrespecting even after the match and after the defeat she went from mean to a cry baby  :P

really anticipated to watch this match, after the lost Rousey seems to be so down until want to suicide, i think her ego is too high and too arrogant, but despite all of that she is one of the greatest UFC female fighter, and i like to watch her arm bar grappling technique,it is going to be an awesome match

man this is going to be awesome!

I really hope Rousey wins. The sport is so much better when she is kicking
arse. Plus it sets up for a epic re-match with Holly Holm.

Then again if she wins, it would be the biggest victory of her life and get her status back as the UFC's most popular fighter.  Well with McGregor around they would be the two most popular fighters.  It's a big risk for her, but a risk worth taking.

No doubt about that man! No doubt about it! ;)
What else does she have in her life? Just that mole under her eye is getting bigger and bigger every time that I see her (UGH! She is becoming quite the beastly one isn't she!?! :D ) and the fat piglet looking fugly beeotch that she is! ;D
So i would not be surprised if she off't herself really.  :P

your too harsh to rousy, but honestly, i think she will gonna win this one considering that she is hungry for victory and start building again her career, She is the one of my favorite fighter, I think her defeat to holmes is just a lucky punch, I like her mole, Everytime i saw it, It reminds me of something i want to see. It's up to you to figure it out..:D
Rousy for the win on this game!

did you just watch the match between holmes and rousey ,sure you have not seen the match go watch and come back and tell me how the match went ,rousey was humiliated in the match and she could not even reach holly in the entire fight,she was eating punch after punch and to reconstruct her face  UFC gave her the best doctors after the match and you are calling it as a lucky punch  ::)

Excited to see Ronda Rousey back in the octagon! It will be very interesting to see how she copes with the recent brutal loss to Holm and being away from the sport for over a year. Nunes is a good champion who has very good striking. If Rousey decides to stand and trade with Nunes, there is a good chance she will suffer another KO loss, so her best strategy would be to try to take the fight to the ground as quickly as possible and submit Nunes with the armbar. I am predicting that Rousey will win by submission in the 2nd, after a shaky first round, followed by calling out Cyborg.

yeah my money's on rhonda too although i think the challenge here would mainly be mental since she's coming from her first loss and the time that she wasn't in the octagon. looking forward to seeing her fight again though especially now that cris cyborg's already in the ufc

Couldn't agree more with you! This is going to be one good match for sure.

Maybe ill do something I never normally do this time: place a bet on sports..!

-Too Early to predict anything,man.
-I hope Nunes doesn't break one of her ankles before the actual match.You can call it "backing-out". :P

Is tha a thing to say ? Rousey takes this easy.All the frustration from Floyd Maywheather drama is soon to be released I reckon! Not sure about the re-match with Holly.Where did you get that information from?

About time Rousey returned, she has a lot of unfinished business. I predict she'll deal with Nunes & seek out out a rematch with Holly, I think that's what the public will want to see.

@DeathAngel. For me a championship match such as this is very early for her. Maybe it would be better for her to take on easier opponents to build her confidence first. Also during that time of confidence building, she can challenge Holly Holm again and the winner of that match could have a chance to challenge Nunes.

With this decision to let Ronda fight Nunes I am thinking that Ronda is ready to retire and is only fighting for the money. If she wins, ok she can continue but I believe she is coming in this fight expecting to lose.

What do you guys think the spread will be?

I think it should be close odds but I bet it will be -200 rousey because
they know how much money will be bet on her.

It's -182 on Rousey and +160 on Nunes at Nitrogen.  I think this fight is closer to 50/50 than most would think so those odds are good value for Nunes.  And it would he advisable to wait until fight night to make a bet on her because a lot of people will go for Rousey thereby improving Nunes' line.

it is coming to a full circle like situation,no one able to definitely defend the belt and now karma is back to rousey's corner to claim the title back and be the face of women's MMA

After a year of rest she is back in the octagon and given a title shot right away? Whats up with Rousey that she deserves a title shot after loosing badly? Its not even a loss that raised some doubts butbher loss is very clear.

This is a good way to handle this because from what I believe Nunes will destroy her. She is like a wounded animal and she will be put down for good this time. No more come back after this will be possible. :D

she is getting the title shot because she is ronda rousey and as she carried the women's MMA and made it a popular sport now,i dont see any justification to see this fight happen since UFC is a private company they can match who ever they want,may be rousey demanded the title fight for her return,the match i want to see now is Ronda Rousey V Cyborg, Cyborg will smoke her in the first round  ;D

Rousey is on a mission here so she will do anything to knock out Nunes unlike when she fight Holmes that she isn't presurred much. Yes Nunes is really tough opponent but back then when Rousey and Holms fight, others are eyeing for Rousey but Holmes got the cake.

More importantly is my bet, if ever sportsbetting sites will tagged Rousey as underdog and give her a good odds, I will put some money for her. Worth to bet.

Both McGregor and Ronda Rousey have their entire careers at stake on a single fight. If they lose again it's over for both, that is what happens you put the standards too high and you make yourself one of the best and a super star. If McGregor loses with Aldo then the 3rd Diaz fight gets devalued a lot and it's not as exciting. If Ronda loses twice then her career is done for. I think she will not be able to win because she was used to always winning and having that 1 on her record has destroyed her confidence.

It is so hard to have your record at 0, this is why I think guys like Mayweather are total legends. There is nothing better than being undefeated.

Lucky punch!! HOLLY HOLMES gave rousey a chance to touch her before the match but she refused that and showed an attitude as she never imagined she could not touch holly the entire match and she was really sloppy and running around the ring for two rounds and got tired of getting punches on her face and slept with a kick to her head and still you claim it was just a lucky punch :P

man this is really high. Its so tough to tell which rhonda we will see but I sure hope
its the arm breaking bad girl lol. I cant wait for the song to start up and see the scowl
on her face!! to bad the odds are so high.

Holly Holmes was the superior striker, she is a world renowned boxer and his punching and dodging skills are clearly great than Rousey. Rousey is one of the best in ground game but she is not able to take heavy punches, she is too used to submitting in the first round.

Being a judoka Rousey has one of the best ground games in women's MMA,Holly was able to stop all of her take down attempts and she was a bit over confident in her boxing and she thought she could match a world class boxer in terms of out boxing Holly and multi division boxing champion and that was the biggest mistake Rousey did and sure she will be back stronger than ever

The reason why Rousey tried to box with Holm and stay toe to toe with her was to pressure Holm and then for Rousey to get her in the clinch as that's her strong point.  This didn't work because Holm already knew Rousey's game plan.  

Rousey has already overused the strategy and also Holm exposed holes in Rousey's striking game.  So vs Nunes I don't know how she can dominate her opponent.  This match is really closer than we all think with Nunes only a slight underdog.

Rousey never had a proper strategy when she came to fight against a world class boxer,she was defeating everyone easily and she believed in her hype and was really careless and Rousey found it hard to respect Holly Holmes world class boxing caliber,she really thought she could out box her since she was knocking out girls within seconds.Nunes is a brawler and she has good ground skills too,if Rousey takes her to the ground i want to see how nunes counters that,its a very good fight

Looks like this is not only for Rousey's return but also a rematch between Cain Velasquez and Fabricio Werdum.
Their first encounter happened UFC 188 where Fabricio Werdum was the winner via Submission (guillotine choke).
This is a good time for Cain Velasquez to prove that he is a better fighter than Fabricio Werdum.

rhonda will win holy was just a bad match up for her nunes wont be able to keep the distance like holy could and will get taken down and werdum will win again

It's more like Rousey was always the stronger one physically vs her opponents.  But when defeating someone that would make use of skill and finesse she just lost it and exposed holes in her game.  There are articles written about her striking coach being incompetent or something like it in that regard.  In some MMA forums there were calls for Rousey to train with other camps and other coaches to widen her horizons in MMA.  If she thinks she can get in the octagon and overpower Nunes she's in for a surprise.

Amanda Nunes have the reach advantage of only an inch at 69" while Rhonda Rousey have 68". In terms of leg reach Amanda Nunes is at 41" while Rhonda Rousey at 38". Looking at the profile of Amanda Nunes, she is more successful in striking compared to Rhonda Rousey and Amanda Nunes percentage in take down defense is higher than Rhonda Rousey. I guess this will be close fight .

@nydiacaskey01. There is also the question of what kind of mindset Ronda is bringing in the octagon on the day of the fight. I mentioned this before but I speculate that Ronda is ready to retire if she loses this fight. So this fight vs Nunes is all or nothing for her and it hits two birds with one stone. One is Ronda loses but she wins enough money to retire. Number two is if she wins she will make history once again in UFC's greatest comebacks and continues on with here career. I think she is trying to put herself in a situation where she has nothing to lose so that she can have an advantage psychologically.

cruz vs cody might be added to this card

Both fighters when they step inside the octagon have only 1 mindset and that is to win. The only difference is how badly they want to win. Maybe Rousey want's it badly and she wants to regain her title back and place her name in the "greatest of all time" comebacks, but of course Nunes also have plans to block that dream of Rousey and wants to put her name in list of fighters who defeated Rousey. By the time UFC 207 gets closer and closer, odds maybe different with only a few points difference.

Why him?  It would be more exciting to see him fight Dillashaw again and end the grudge once and for all.  Garbrandt is undefeated but he still needs to prove himself and climb the ladder.  But whatever, it's always fun to watch Cruz in the octagon.  Hopefully he wins spectacularly and that McGregor notices.  ;)

UFC 207 is getting better ,they now added Cain Velasquez vs Fabricio Werdum and this is one of the most anticipated match and i would like to see how Valasquez faces him second time around and hope he wont get injured at the very last moment :D

Wow this card is getting better and better already.  First with Cruz, and now this.  The last time he fought Werdum he wasn't really that fit from what I saw in that match.  He seemed a little bit off and easily got tired as the rounds went by giving the edge to Werdum.  And Werdum didn't show us anything spectacular either, it was just Cain wasn't at 100% form.

And oh, you guys have got to watch this.  It's really hilarious!  :D

Fight 3 of the TFC Event 3 Peak Submission (NYC, USA) vs HFA (Gdynia, Poland)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI4yIvNI9So

3 of nunes 4 loses are available on youtube etc. I dont think rousey will lose this one

Vegas got it right. Tate is a crap fest and a win over her should almost be overlooked

I hope people keep betting nunes and doubting rhonda cause she is gonna break some
arms.

I thought Ronda Rousey still wants to fight Cris Cyborg (read an article on Semptember issue)? maybe will this be a good fight for the comeback of Rousey (after she was outclassed by Holly Holmes)and for Nunes she will fighting the best pound for pound female UFC fighter. i also read a post for the card ,Cody no love vs Dominick Cruz, Fabricio Werdum vs Cain Velasquez 2 also Aldo vs (unknown)? 

That is the point I am trying to make. I speculate that Ronda Rousey might not be fit mentally to fight a fighter of Nunes' caliber. Please consider Ronda's recent history. In her last fight there were some holes that were exposed in her game. She was not really that good and her skills were overhyped. When she lost versus Holly Holmes she was seriously affected mentally and quit. Now she is given a shot for the championship. The events are going too fast for her and she may not handle the pressure well.

Ronda Rousey is looking to concentrate her time in acting after this match, Nunes is a really good fighter she is a good at stand up as well on the ground but Rousey was winning every match quite easily before facing Holly Holmes,she even believed the hype that she could out strike a world class boxer and when her ego was hurt we saw what happened and from now on she will prepare very well and not to believe in any hype if so she could be unstoppable

@eaLiTy. If she has an acting career waiting for her then the more of the possibility that this could be her retirement fight if she loses. Losing again would only prove that she really is not the fighter that was hyped to be. It will also prove that she is not as hungry and as motivated as before. Or maybe not even as skilled as before.

Yeah Rousey should win on this fight or else she will be on hollywood.
I think Rousey will win this time.. she's very hungry for victory and she needs to prove that she's still the best female UFC fighter.

I doubt that she'll win this game unless she won't boast first before fighting for each of her fight not just for Nunes but all of her next fights.

And this is why I'm looking upon the confidence of Nunes right now let's just be different to others.

Since Rousey is the all time favorite of the people, let's choose the opposite champion.

no doubt that Ronda Rousey was hyped very much and was billed by the UFC as the best fighter in the world and they were cutting promos just for the sake of showing women power and stuff just to make the women audience happy,they were ignoring and having a blind eye on Cristiane Cyborg Justino who is the true legend of women's MMA and the only fighter who is fit for the billing. i would like to see Ronda facing Cyborg before ronda decides to wrap her gloves

I wish we can skip UFC 206 and go straight to Ronda Rousey versus Amanda Nunes at UFC 207. After the last event I have a feeling the organization behind the UFC will have a hard time bringing the same excitement in the sport again without including Conor.

@eaLiTy. I am in the same sentiment as you are. Ronda versus Cyborg would be another exciting fight for the fans. At what weight class do you think this should happen? To be fair to both fighters I think they should meet in the middle for a catch weight event.

Betting for Ronda is a very risky bet seeing how the underdogs are winning at a higher rate than usual in the UFC, and I have argued that she might be ready to retire and this is a last attempt to make money in MMA for her. So her motivation here is questionable.

Also here is an update on TJ Dillashaw http://www.espn.com/blog/mma/post/_/id/23418/dillashaw-baffled-over-garbrandt-title-shot

He is upset on why Garbrandt  is given a title shot and not him. I agree, a rematch between him and Cruz should be given more priority.

I think this is a super big match for close this year, a very interesting and difficult to guess the winner. Rousey is very beautifull, I hope can win in this match, but with a good records and more experiences, I'd favor Nunes will win.

That would be a good match though, Ronda Rousey vs Cris Cyborg, gonna wait for it. But for now, Rousey vs Nunes, if Rousey win on this match, it will be a good comeback for Rousey. For me this match is 50 50, because Rousey is comeback again at UFC.

This is a battle of submission vs striking, this fight is hard to predict who will triumph in the end. But for me I'll go for a striker, 3 rounds knocked out by Amanda Nunes. I know Ronda Rousey prepared for this fight and learned a lesson from Holly Holmes so she knows how to counter a striker fighter. If Rousey missed the opportunity to defeat Nunes maybe her carer will be degraded.

Amanda  Nunes:
Total:   17
Wins:   13
By knockout: 9
By submission:3
By decision: 1   1
Losses: 4

---

Rodnda Rousey:
Total:   13
Wins:   12
By knockout: 3
By submission: 9

well i think ronda's loss to holmes slowed down her showdown with cris cyborg. a lot of people have been looking forward to this and if ronda would win her comeback fight then we may very well see these two ladiesin the octagon soon. packed card also. looking forward to the werdum vs cain fight. cain's been slowed down by injuries though i still think he's still one of the most talented hw even now

I read also the article that Ronda Rousey wanted to fight Cris Cybord I don't know what happened to this. If the fight push through this will be an easy win for Cristiane "Cris Cyborg" Justino over Ronda Rousey. We know that Cris Cyborg is a knock out artist this will be hard fight for Rousey if the match push through for her comeback. The fight of Rousey against Nunes it is a 50 50 for me also to predict but as I said I will go for a striker over submission. Rousey should show his new improved skills at their fight, I don't like to watch a unanimous decision. 

I really hope rousey doesn't lose cause she is so good for the sport when she is
winning. My girl even likes to watch when Rhonda is fighting so anything that can
get someone who hates sports excited its big for the sport

I am afraid she loses and pulls a tate and retires....

I would love to see Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs Ronda :D

It will never happen

So there is some drama going on with Ronda Rousey again. According to the reports she was really upset after the face off with Amanda Nunes at the UFC 205 weigh ins. It was also reported that she was very emotional at the backstage and that she needed to be consoled. Could this be a sign of weakness that is still haunting Ronda? She might not be mentally ready for this fight and she might possibly pull out.

If the UFC would make a 125 pound division then it would be a possibility and they should bring that weight class as there are many talented women fighters and the UFC is not giving them the opportunity to explore the possibilities ,Joanna Jedrzejczyk used to fight at 125 pound during her martial arts career but 135 pounds is too much for her.The only fight i want to see Ronda fight is her rematch against Holly Holmes and a super fight against the best women's fighter in the world Cristiane Justino, no one dares to fight her and ones who wishes would get smacked and that is the kind of fighter she is.

I think she is going to lose it, unless she gets a lucky KO, Nunez is too robust, strong, and an excellent standup fighter, I think Ronda is getting KO'd and she is going to retire that night just like Miesha Tate did after her last 2 KO's. She is never to get over not having that perfect 0 defeats record.

I think if Ronda Rousey loses this one against Amanda Nunez this will be her last match inside the cage and she will focus on her movie career.I am not sure Ronda is a knock out artist and could KO Nunez .If she is to win she will be winning by her trade mark judo take down and an arm bar but the interesting thing is Nunez is a black belt in BJJ and so i am expecting a good match.

Indeed, he should have retired before lossing against Holly Holm but then again, how can you know when you are going to lose? People love undefeated people and that sells a lot of movies. Right now in her position she needs to get a couple of wins then retire, if she retires with 2 loses... that will not sell as many movies. People like winners.

Wow! Interesting fight. I hope that whoever wins, I would be betting on her. Lol.

I think Rousey would win just because she came from a loss and would like to redeem herself. But she's not going to be like her previous image, but I guess she would still be s rockstar fighter.

Whenever I check stats of these two fighters Rousey is always leading the charts.
It looks like she has over 80% chances of winning this fight according to Cagerank prediction.
Unfortunately I can't check the odds on my favorite sportbook now as it is still to early for most sites to include this fight.

The charts speaks a different story and this being a fight game a loss would hurt the confidence of a fighter and especially an emotional fighter like Ronda Rousey and i have heard that she broke down after the stand off between her and Amanda Nunes and if is the case it will be really difficult to estimate the predictions given by cage rank .Fighting is a mental game and if she is not prepared for that it is going to be her last fight.

Rousey has some good odds for betting bigger amounts.
But most of you r changing my mind lol  ;D
I'm pretty sure she will win this but idk..

What odds are you seeing her to win?
I was looking for a site with the highest odds for Rousey to win.

Whats the current odds for this fight? UFC is making a lot of hype and pushing Ronda like the old days when she is on a roll. A lot of write ups about her to make it look like a very good come back.

Sports bet usually gives higher odds. just check that out


Right now we can see that odds are favoring Ronda Rousey to win the match directbet is giving Amanda Nunes odds @ 2.4 which is quite attractive and Ronda Rousey @ 1.49 .One thing to be noted is that no one defended the belt after Ronda in the division so far and we had 3 champions in three title fights and i think this is some kind of record in MMA  ;D

Ronda Rousey is still the favorite. Money line the odds are 1.6 for Ronda and 2.47 for Amanda. Maybe a few years ago I would consider that an easy bet for Ronda. Now with the emergence of the Brazlilian and we saw how dominant she was against Meisha, I would bet on Nunes. Ronda may still have psychological issues in coping with here loss versus Holly Holmes.

Ronda Rousey was on Conan O'Brien's show just recently.  It was a fun watch and watching her being so real is making me root for her more and more as the event comes nearer and nearer.  Here's the Conan video with the Rousey interview.

Ronda Rousey - Conan O'brien Full Interview 12/7/2016

Here's the latest promotional video for UFC 207's main event.

UFC 207: Ronda Rousey Returns
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxnH4uX7aBU

Enjoy the videos!

Conan o Brien is the funniest guy in the business right now. I hate Jimmy Kimmel and the other Jimmy, Jimmy Fallon, they are so fake. Conan is just naturally funny, he should be the n1 host. Anyway Ronda is looking good but I think Nunes has better odds to win, she is a very dangerous striker, and we have seen what happened with Holms another great striker.

@pereira4. Yes that is why I keep saying that it is better to bet for Amanda than it is for Ronda. I do not know what the odds makers are thinking or what inside information have but this fight might be so close. Ronda has already one foot out and ready to retire. She said she will "soon". Amanda still has high ambition to become a dominant champion in women's bantam weight.

Indeed Amanda Nunes is way more hungry for victory and motivated after coming from some good fights, but I don't count out Rousey at all. I watched more videos of the Conan interview and realized that she is looking way bigger than ever before like she has more muscles than me for her height. Amanda still has the inch of height of advantage but Ronda is looking strong. We will see soon only 3 weeks to go.

She was billed as the undefeated tough women and the UFC took full advantage of women power and promoted her very well as well as her PR team which landed her many roles.Now she has enough publicity and fans even if she win or not.she will take the sentiment route if she loses this one too  ;D .She will be well prepared for the match no doubt about it,her confidence level is the question here .

Fighters who had undefeated streak when they lose a match will never reach the once dominant performance they once had.Look at Renan Baro and Chris Weidman  for example ,there were undefeated and was high on confidence and was winning matches with ease and now look at their career .She has to do something to regain her confidence if she wants to win again.If not we will see her in WWE pretty soon. ;)

Yes I agree with what you have said.
More than likely this match is just another money grab for Rousey and alot of money made by the sports betting world when she loses the match.

Hey guys, just posting a video and let's start discussing this upcoming event.  Please post your predictions, questions or even news and updates you have picked up along the way.  

This will be one of the most exciting events in the history of the UFC because Ronda's back!

UFC 207 Free Fight:  Ronda Rousey vs Miesha Tate
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W9KHt-TVFuY

Ronday Rousey may be headlining the card but there are other good fights and the fight i am looking for is the rematch between Fabrício Werdum and Cain Velasquez . Fabricio Werdum wanted to cement his legacy in the sport and he is confident that he will defeat Cain once again and this will be the best match of the card in my opinion as well as Dominick Cruz defending his belt against Cody Garbrandt   (Faber's boy  :D) as well as T.J. Dillashaw and Johny Hendricks fighting in the card.

@eaLiTy. Yes it is a good card and some also argue that UFC 207 will be as big as UFC 206 in money collected.

Cain versus Fabricio is funny. Both fighters come directly from a win from Travis Browne. It is also said that Cain has a surgery scheduled after this fight. I tried to research what that surgery might be but it did not say. Could it be his old meniscus injury in the right knee? A torn meniscus is a bit painful but it will not restrict motor function. If he is hiding a more fight affecting injury, maybe Fabrico is a good bet.

Here's another free fight video to give us a preview on Amanda Nunes' fighting style.  I'd say she could take on a guy in her weight class.  Anyone rooting for Rousey could be in for another upset.

I was gonna bet for Nunes in the upcoming main event of UFC 207 but the UFC just hypes Rousey so well it made me have second thoughts.  Watch this extended preview of 207.  Cruz vs Team Alpha Male also looks it's gonna be good too.  Can't wait!

UFC 207:  Extended Preview
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUw2nW7IbZk

The hypes are really good but i do not want to risk my bet here. If this was before the loss i would wage a bet against Nunes but with the loss now how Rousey is going to be mentally prepared is the big question here. The safest bet would be wagging a bet for Dominic Cruz and i will be happy with that bet and i would add T.J. Dillashaw to win too.

I still do not believe Ronda will win against Amanda. Let us say Ronda is really mentally ready for this fight. My question is, is she technically equipped enough to defeat Amanda? Holly Holm has exposed the holes in Ronda's boxing. Also if she cannot clinch, she is exposed. Amanda is good at punching, kicking and on the ground.

Like I said,I'm interested in putting big money on Ronda.
Not sure why but I'm like pretty sure she will win.

Would this be a smart bet or ..The odds are like 1.5,not that bad for Rodna,I guess..

If you are pretty sure about Ronda Rousey winning the fight then go forward and wage a bet. I am sure she will be well prepared for the battle.Both Ronda and Nunes are good in the clinch and good at ground but Nunes has the advantage in striking and that is the issue,it all depends upon whether Ronda can take Nunes down and if she does she will win for sure.

@eaLiTy. Ronda's assumed psychological issues might be the real issue for her. The UFC is trying to hype her by showing her past achievements and her skills in the octagon. This is good to distract the crowd and hide her real problem here. The sad thing is the win versus Nunes is what she really needs to go thru all her issues, which I do not think she can do.

She has one foot out and she's ready for retirement.

I just updated the original post of the thread.  All the basic info of the fighters and on the event can now be seen. 

And here's a couple of free fight videos to watch.  This is for the Cruz vs Garbrandt bout.  May these help you bet well.  Enjoy!  :)

UFC 207 Free Fight: Dominick Cruz vs Urijah Faber 3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Bjadyc5A_A

UFC 207 Free Fight: Cody Garbrandt vs Takeya Mizugaki
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-D-ldWtB_s

Only 10 days to go for the fight, still haven't firgured out what to do with this one. I didn't bet any fight in UFC 206 because I didnt saw it clear except for the Urijah fight where i thought he could win but I wastn sure 100% so I lost an opportunity to make money.

Now with this new fight I cant honestly predict any of them.

Rousey to win.....all day long. She's been out of action for a long time but that Holm's loss hurt her. I reckon Rousey will be back with a bang.

She will destroy Nunes inside 2 rounds.

Ronda to knock Nunes out in round one. I think she will explode back into form in the Octagon & knock Nunes's head off her shoulders.
Rousey has been resting away for a long time & she will be driving herself mad to get back into action. I fear for Nunes.

There are more interesting fights in this card and almost all of the fights are unpredictable only TJ Dillashaw is the sure win in this card and the rest of the fight card confuses me.Dominick Cruz will win against Cody Garbrandt if he could not land a punch but the impressive thing about Cody is that he is undefeated.

True.  I was sure I was betting on Nunes the minute I heard about the bout, but then I found out later that almost everyone was thinking the same way I do that Rousey might be psychologically impaired to take such an important fight.  And yet the lines stayed almost the same in the sports books.  Do the odds makers know something we don't?  Are the sharps still holding out until the last minute to pour the money in?

It almost feels like the sharps are waiting for the Rousey line to improve and pour all the money on her.

well i think they do this all the time especially for big fights like this. though for me i'd say rhonda should be able to pull this one off even with the psychological aspect not on her favor. im hoping we'll see the old rhonda and then i'll look forward to the rhonda cris cyborg fight. oh and i also had my bet placed already on rousey so good luck to both of us dude :D

@gabmen. How can you say that? Nunes' strikes are strong, fast and crisp. She knows when to keep her distance, just like Holly Holm and when to strike going forward. Ronda should be careful because this could be her last fight in the UFC. She has been away from fighting for more than 1 year and many of her peers do not think she is ready for a championship fight.

Im gonna go for Amanda Nunez in this match. Shes more masculine than ronda rousey. Rousey will get knock out if she is not careful just like whats happen to her versus Holms. She knock her out with huge kick to her jaw. Nunez is no joke. Shes dangerous and more powerful in terms of striking. The chance that rousey will win this bout is very thin. If she use her wrestling skill well, theres a possibilty she will win this bout.

Let's see what the MMA pro fighters think.  Here are some videos of who they think shall be the winner in UFC 207's upcoming bouts.  Enjoy!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI_gTSAt-X0

MMA Pros Pick - Cain Velasquez vs. Fabricio Werdum II
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgiVGGBllS4

I thought Cain Velasquez vs. Fabricio Werdum II is cancelled and Junior Dos Santos wants to replace Cain Velasquez.

Both are the best female competitors right now in my book. You could say Cris Cyborg is also a top contender but she was just recently caught doping so im not sure what's going to happen with her career now... I always thought she looked a bit weird as if she was on steroids or something, then again you never know, I think everyone in the sport is on steroids.

For me though, it seems that after that loss to holly holmes people started doubting what rhonda can do. She's been fighting and beating hard hitters before that loss and i think rousey still has a good chance in winning this one, that is if her confidence is back to where is was. It would be more on the psychological end i think. Although if she gets hit by Nunez, it's going to be retirement for her

I'd take Nunez in 2nd round.
Any place I can place my 100mbtc at for the best odds on that.
It's a week away so the odds won't be that great until the last hour of the fight when announcements are made and speculation starts to take hold.

Is it because of Cain's back injury? I googled what you said and I cannot find any news about Cain versus Fabricio being cancelled. What I see is Cain talking down his back injury and he is saying that it is manageable. Junior Dos Santos is scheduled for another event I think on January.

Heavy betting towards Nunes is moving the line down and up for Rousey.  If Rousey's odds reach around 1.90 by Friday I could end up betting for her plus some Ronda win via sub props.

It's from the post of Brandon Vera through his facebook page entimports and yes its because of Cain's back injury. I just found it also weird that instead of Cain preparing his body for a surgery, he instead signed up for a fight, it could do more damage if he continue to fight then do surgery later.

damn it they cancelled the cain vs werdum fight sucks i had a few bets on werdum

Nice catch. I did not believe you at first to be quite honest. But I knew that there is some truth to the news because there were articles online that were saying Cain started using CBD to manage the pain in his back.

Here's a quote from Ronda Rousey on why she's not participating in the media events to promote UFC 207.


With that kind of attitude coming in this fight, I think there's still hope for her even if (I think) she's still mentally affected from her loss.

Hey guys, just dropping by to post a couple of videos as UFC 207 gets closer and closer.  This is one of the most exciting UFC events ever and if you're a fan, you'd be crazy not to watch this live...  Preferably in a pub getting drunk with your mates.  ;D

I recommend you guys watch the vlog series too.  They give good info on the mindset of each fighter days before the event.

UFC 207: Inside The Octagon - Amanda Nunes vs Ronda Rousey
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeNVT3UHIyA

The wait is almost over, im not gonna lie im pretty hyped to see Ronda's return into the octagon but im also very excited to see the Cruz fight, he is one of the best ever in my book, only lost once to Farber then got a win in the last rematch. Cody is an undefeated fighter and it's always exciting to see undefeated fighters with a good record fight (he has 10-0). Pretty difficult to pick bets for this one.

@thejaytiesto. Amanda Nunes is going to win this unless Ronda has adjusted to a type of opponent who likes to fight with a little distance like Holly Holm and Amanda. What Amanda will do is avoid Ronda on the clinch by limping her arm and pulling herself back out. Watch the fight between Amanda and Meisha again and see what I mean.

I can't believe that there are so few UFC fans here in the forum.  I wonder what it would take to convince them that the UFC will be the biggest fighting based sport that would replace boxing.  As some analysts are already saying, 'boxing is dying'.  After Manny Pacquiao, I don't know who else to watch in that sport.

Here's a couple of videos to get those people who are not into UFC to watch and hopefully get excited over.  Enjoy!

thanks for the encouragement i'm also not a big fan of ufc but like you after pacman i didn't see any exciting fight anymore in the world of boxing so i decided to look for any alternatives and learn about ufc, this rousey is she the girl in fast in the furious right? how she wins the last time i've heard about her is she loses his belt, i'll be betting for her good luck and thanks again OP.

UFC 207 will be memorable not only because of Rouseys return, but also this will be the last day of veteran announcer Mike Goldberg in UFC. His inputs and blow by blow side comments will be missed. I heard Joe Rogan is next to move out of UFC. It looks like the new managemet of UFC is giving everyone a hard time.

Cain Velasquez really did not want to fight Werdum and so he used the help of media to get pulled out of a fight if not who in the right sense would publicly talk about an injury if you are planning to fight because the opponent will target the weak spot and so it is really clear that Cain does not want to fight this match .He should retire now with his fragile body its not good for him to continue like this.

Is it just me or does anybody else think Ronda will make a shocking announcement that she will retire from the UFC if she wins. Ever since her loss to Holly, she has already become an enigma and her journey in fighting has become truly a personal one. This might be her last fight.

Did you guys see the latest verbal tussle between Cruz and Garbrandt?  It's so good, I already wish the fight was happening today!  Check it out below.  I'm also including a breakdown of Cruz vs the angry Garbrandt by Dan Hardy.  Good stuff as usual.

 Here's the final set of videos for this event.  There's the two final episodes of the vlog series and the weigh-ins.  I recommend watching the Rousey and Nunes stare down.  I already placed a bet on Nunes but after seeing those two face to face I have a feeling I might lose my bet.  I might look for a propbet to hedge my current bet.

Cody Garbrandt was mocking the champ Dom. Cruz all the way. Great performance by him and great head movement and striking. Everyone was talking about him being one dimensional but he proved everyone wrong. All trash talking before the contest and really humble as soon as the fight gets over. This is why I love UFC. :)

Edit: Up next, Amanda Nunes vs Ronda Rousey. Going to be a great fight.

Yup I am glad I chose Garbandt to win the match , https://directbet.eu/BetStatus.cshtml?BetID=17BcuMuuuFWgeEa8RKrzVro1qruVudfYD3 and now if Rousey wins this one which I think she will , I will double my money easily :) I regret not betting big though :(

I used to like Rousey but I like Nunes now. Rousey is a spoilt sport and has a really bad attitude. I hope Nunes wins this. She seems to be a nice person and took all the boos during the weigh in positively. Not many people do that. Brain says Rousey will win this but, Heart says Nunes. Lets see how it goes.

Anyone have the live stream?

Its over! Nunes made Rousey look like a human punching bag. Finished her off in the first round(48 secs). Good that the ref stopped her otherwise it would have looked really bad. There was no way Rousey was going to recover from those hard right punches from Nunes.

No need of live stream just watch Nunes practicing , this match will be very similar to that . Just 48 seconds was enough for her to make Rousey bleed and win the match . Although my chips were on Rousey , I am happy to see such a victory :)

48 seconds, that was it? Wow. Now that bitch had the shit kicked out of her twice. I think its time she retires.

I want to see it now, does anyone have it on a pvr that they can upload to youtube for me.

wow Nunes just like taking some practice, its bad that the most of us thinks that Rousey can recover and bring back her glory days, its really hard now for her as Nunes is dominating the ring, congrats Nunes winning the games just too quick.

OMG, what an expected result on the main event Rousey vs Nunes. Nunes ended Rousey in the first round and only need 40+ seconds. I think Rousey is done. Luckly we have Cruz vs Cody, this match deserve a main event though. Good fight for both fighters, but it become boring when cody just running around.

I want to see it. Someone please post it to youtube .

Anyone who wants to watch it now can!

That was brutal to watch. :-[
It was like watching a man beating on a woman who was not knowing how to fight. It was like wanting somebody to put a wounded animal down.
And this was the same person that said they would be able to fight a professional boxer and a man at that. :-\
How pathetic, really truly pathetic display.
She just got MAN-Handled to the 10th degree. ::)

She got knocked around like a retard. :D

She should just stop. Seriously stop fighting as we can all see your no fighter anymore and will be surprised if you can do anything in your life anymore.
Very sad at 29. :'(
She definitely has brain damage now.  :P

thanks for sharing mate, its so bad for rousey she can't handled how fast Nunes punch arrived to her face, good thing for the ref to stop the game because if continue i guess her beautiful face will be dislocated after Nunes keep sending heavy punch on it.

She was talking so much shit too, and at the weighin she got right up in Nunes face as if she was gonna sock her and nunes was all calm and shit.

Good fight if you like seeing someone get pounded.

My pleasure man.

I have it in reverse.  My brain says it's Nunes that's why I made a bet on her, my heart wants Rousey to win.  It's so sad to see her lose in such a fashion.  I really wanted her to win and be back as it would be better for the sport altogether.

So what now for Rousey?  I honestly think she should be on suicide watch.  Not trying to be funny...

She got taught to all women out there that don't talk shit if your the weaker species cause nunes has muscle mass like a miniature man. :D  Or you will get knocked the hell out for being a bitch.
She made he eat her own shit talking that way to her before the fight. If you can't back up your talk then you will get owned. :-*

She just might. It is that time of year when everything comes to you that happened thru out the entire year all at once. Why else do you think people want to get drunk, to forget about what came to pass. :-\
With all the celebs going in the past week I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it happened. :-X

It was a really short match and i never expected the match to be this short .It will be the end of the Ronda Rousey era and this will be her very last match inside the cage as i am sure she will not dare to come back again to make her look silly.

She has her movie and TV carrier sorted. She made about the same amount of money that Connor McGregor made with his title win fight. She will most probably retire now. THe UFC women's bantamweight division is not what it used to be and you cannot just pass with one set of skill which Rousey did. Its best that she retires or her legacy will be tainted further with losses.

Her movie and tv career sorted? With that one Fast and Furious casting? That doesn't seem that just that has made her into a well sought after female actress.
And after she got her face mangled last night I doubt she will be wanting to show it in public in a long long time. Sort of like when she lost the first time. She could not show her black eyes in the airport. She had to wear a hoodie just to go outside her hotel room. :P

The moment that Rousey got knocked in the face  :-X

Just a big disappointment of a career ending fight. :-\

It is really a disappointing way to end a colorful career and Ronda Rousey is the only reason women's mixed martial arts is this popular and its a bad move from the UFC to give Ronda Rousey an immediate title shot after a loss which hurted her confidence after an embarrassing loss and that too against a striker .This will be the end of her career without any doubt as there is no way she could regain her confidence after this loss.

She made a hell lot of money in her last match but that is really a sad end for an athlete like Ronda Rousey who was billed as the baddest women in the world and she made the maximum when everything was on her way hope that  is the case with Connor Mcgregor too. I am really waiting to see Mcgregor return and fight either Kabib or Aldo or a third match with Nate Diaz.

I didn't get to watch the UFC fights last night but today I saw a video on the main event. Man Rousey wasn't ready for that fight. Looking at her get beat like that I felt sorry for her but I had to remember she got paid big for that fight.

Question for everyone, would you get beat like that if you knew you were getting paid millions for it?

i wont do that no matter how much money they offer. Getting punched in the face and that too in front of millions of viewers is really not worth it if i am at the receiving end. We all knew she was not ready to face any challenges and UFC wanted to cash in at the expense of Ronda which was a really bad move.

Now she has a fucked up face and probably fucked her mindset even more then it already was before the fight as some were saying that her mental state was not all there to begin with. The before dialogue before the fight proved that. I don't care this and I don't care that. Come on, just grow the fuck up and stop begin like a kid in preschool.
UFC used her and discarded her like a used up condom. She will realize that after she spends those millions on expensive rehab sessions.

If she still wants to fight in the UFC the first thing she should be doing is to drop her camp and go to a new one. I am sure team Alpha Male will take her in, or coach Zahabi's camp, Tristar gym will also love to have her. Her current trainer is a nobody in the world of prize fighting and it showed in how Ronda fought versus Nunes.

UFC 207: Post-fight Presser
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGy1cSSGFeU

Watch the post fight conference.  I think Dominick Cruz is still the boss even after his recent loss against Cody Garbradnt.  He took the loss well and I'm excited on what his next move will be.  But I hope TJ Dillashaw will get a title shot first though.  That will be an exciting bout as well. 

A year ender smashed from nunez to rousey lol. Rousey is now now getting the opponents that she used to not have before, Plus i can't see the fire in her eyes anymore, was this an effect of her last lose?

It was a really good fight and i really liked how Cody Garbradnt fought the ever elusive Dominick Cruz and in my opinion Dominick Cruz is the best counter strikers in the world and he used to win all the matches with his movement and counter striking but Cody took him out in this match with his own counter strikes and knocked him a couple of times but Dominick showed his class and made him fight the entire time. TJ Dillashaw will be getting the next title shot as they have an history which is to be settled and its a good story to sell  ;D.

I was so shocked about how poor Rousey was, she really was destroyed. Is she finished as a true champion?

Ronda Rousey was really not focused on returning after her defeat as she is really hurt mentally and physically by the defeat she faced against Holly Holmes and if she really wanted to fight she would not take a long break like this and keep on hiding all this while and even during the fight week she was not willing to face the camera's which says it all, i think she will retire after this defeat.

if you look at her fights as a champion she was winning every matches quite easily as she is a great athlete when she takes the opponent to the ground and she was a great champion without any doubt but once she is billed as the baddest women in the planet and the hype started the pressure crushed her and only Connor is surviving the hype train as he knows how to handle the situation.

Since everyone is wondering what really happened to the great champion Ronda Rousey these are my analysis when you look at her career,She was a good champion and she took the women's MMA to the forefront and if you analyze all her performance in the UFC she was domination in the clinch and she was very much good on the ground and to the surprise she was the only dominating champion who has a judo background ,it is because their clinch and the hip toss are the basics and she was concentrating on that in all of her fights and was winning fights easily even if she takes some blows but then the hype caught up with her when everyone started describing her as a knockout artist which is really not the fact and she wanted to box everyone rather than fight her basics and that is how Rousey got schooled by Holly Holmes and now my Nunes.

I agree with you but Connor is a different breed of person. This area is where he will shine. Just look at his personality compared to Rousey.

Yes Connor Mcgregor is really a different breed when you compare with Ronda Rousey as when Connor lost against Nate Diaz he wanted to get back into the ring as soon as possible and face Nate Diaz and avenge the loss but that was not the case with Ronda she was hiding for a whole year and was hiding all these while and was not willing to face the cameras

Yeah, when McGregor lose against Diaz, he accept his lose and not being cocky with him again. In the other hand when Rousey lose, she never expost herself on media and trying and practice so hard to comeback, but the result is like this. For me McGregor is the true champion here.

Now even her mom sees that she is pretty well fucked up her life after last night too! ::)
http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/more-sports/ronda-rouseys-mum-wants-her-to-retire-following-loss-at-ufc-207/ar-BBxMNIo?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartandhp

Rousey must retire now. She did a.lot of accomplishments and i think thats enough for her. Shes a legend already. No need to prove anything. Nunez is too much for her. Rousey doesnt even land any solid punches. No head movement just absorbing Nunez's punches that why its a early stoppage.

1. Rousey is a judo practicioner and good with submission, while Nunes is good with her stand up game.
2. Afrer Rouseys defeat with Holly, Rouseys weaknes was exposed, Rouseys camp should have thought of how to avoid slugging it out with Nunes.
3. Im not sure how good Nunes is with her ground game but you can see how she tried to avoid getting close to Rousey and being taken down.

Rousey is still a force to reckon but she needs to change coach and fighting style.

I feel that what you say about Cruz isn't true anymore.  Garbrandt just showed that Cruz isn't really that good vs a fighter with good basic boxing.  Everyone hyped what Cruz was capable of doing and the media gave him an aura of indecipherability, when the solution to the 'puzzle' was to go back to the basics.  And of course the threat of a KO helped Garbrandt too.  There was nothing spectacular in the way he fights.  He had power, good head movement and used smart boxing.

Oh my god. That second picture her face is fucked up in. She got real messed up, and I cant evcer see her stepping back into the octagon, UNLESS. She becomes famous for getting in the ring and getting the shit kicked out of her. Maybe she can make it her thing and continue to be used as a punching bag for a few lousy dollars. :D

I do not believe so. She can still improve by joining another team. Team Alpha Male would be a very good fit for her, and I am sure they would love to have her in their team. Her present coach is feeding her all the wrong ideas. Nunes herself said this in the post fight interview.

If you watch all the fights Rousey has being she used to get hit all of the time but she stood with judo and took her opponents down and defeated them with her patented arm bar. The two defeats Rousey had were against strikers ,Holly Homes a world champion boxer and Nunes an amateur boxer, and remember that Nunes is a black belt in BJJ so her ground game is top class and so i was expecting to see the ground game between the two but was disappointed because of the early finish  :D.

She had to change her coaching team if she wanted to continue fighting as they were treating her as an invincible striker and if you could watch her corners in both the fights their fight inputs were really wrong and that is what messing her up and i really do not think she will come back from this loss,she will be having a kid soon and will be concentrating only in movies rather than getting punched.

Being a fan, it's a lot harder to see this than the holmes fight. Seems like she doesn't have that same fire and confidence she usually had during her streak. And she's pretty stiff there that nunes didn't look like she had a hard time hitting her. This is a very big set back and sad to say i think it would be a lot better if rhonda's going to hang up her gloves already. She had a very good run during her career but these consecutive losses are crushing to say the least. I this would have more effect on her confidence and mental toughness if ever she's going to fight again. Damn i was looking forward to that fight with cyborg. Oh well..

Of course, rousey still surely doesn't have that self esteem because she just recently lose and then UFC gave her another title shot without even thinking that surely rousey isn't ready tho we all know why she accepted it(obviously paid a huge amount than the champ)

Well it was quite obvious that UFC management wanted to get paid before the end of the year even at the health risk of getting this one particular fighter killed in the ring at the hands of the champion after a year out of the spotlight and the ring. So you be the judge on that one but all the signs are there.
One last cash-in for UFC at the expense of Ronda's health physically and mentally.
They definitely got paid more than her or they would not be in this kind of side show business in the first place.
 :P

There was no pressure from the UFC to Ronda Rousey to return on that fight card and Ronda came back to fight for the title on her terms and so is the reason she took an year off and came back to fight Nunes but now we know that it was a bad decision from her part to return to fight because she is really not the person she once was.Her confidence is shattered and her coaching sucks .

For being out for over a year she shouldnt even have got the title fight. If you stay out and that too you went out losing, one shouldnt get a title fight. She didnt even deserve it. For the guy saying that UFC forced her to come and fight against Nunes, You are either deluded or just a butt hurt Rousey's fan. As per what she said, She had been training for the return and she planned her return perfectly. I do agree that UFC have made a lot of money by making Ronda a star but when u actually see her fight you can sort of understand that she's a one trick pony. A really good one trick pony. She was never a boxer or even came close to it and her strategy failed miserably on trying to box with Nunes in the begining. Dont know what she was thinking. It ended how it was meant to be. Now mostly good MMA artists r in UFC and very fre one trick ponies.

Read this article about Ronda Rousey. It is well written and straight the point.

http://www.espn.com/espnw/sports/article/18379890/in-quest-revenge-pride-ronda-rousey-lost-own-way (http://www.espn.com/espnw/sports/article/18379890/in-quest-revenge-pride-ronda-rousey-lost-own-way)

It appears that it was Ronda who approached Dana White years ago and said that the UFC should make a women's division and that she herself could be the one to lead the way to make it happen. She is practically one of the people responsible of the creation of the UFC as it is today. Without her it would be different.

Unfortunately, UFC womens version was unexciting, Believe me nobody wanted to watch it each time they' squeeze in 2 women inside the octagon and it was Ronda Rousey who lifted it to the top and each time she would fight it was ufc"s main event.
You can always argue with this but that is the reality

Well shit that was quick... im glad I didn't bet for Ronda Rousey, she got destroyed by Amanda Nunes. She was acting very strange, it was just not there, where was the head movement? she was walking straight into Amanda Nunes punches. She should have had a relaxed first round to be acclimated to being inside the octacon after 1+ year... but I think she was overconfident and went for the takedown too quick. I think her career is over.

@thejaytiesto. What head movement? Ronda Rousey's trainer is now exposed as a nobody in the world of MMA or the world of boxing. The only fighter he trained is Ronda and he has been feeding her the wrong ideas. It showed with how she fights. There are big holes in her game that needs to be fixed. It is time for her to join a real training camp if she intends to continue fighting.

I believe that her coach is not good. She has nothing to show that night. All she did was to block and release nunes shots that only give nunes an early idea to put pressure and step up her gas early, and look at her legs, was that really Rousey? It's too straight. She should have used the whole ring and forget about showing her kind of fight in the first round since it is what her opponent is expecting from her. If she only she avoid the first punches of nunes and not blocking it or  she could have survive another round.  :D

She should fight another fighter and not nunes on her comeback fight, she still has the night mare from her fight with Holmes.

No room for advices and tips from the coach since Nunes agressive style maintains Rousey at her feet at the start of the round. Nunes is really good breaching Rousey's defense even at the early seconds of the fight. Rousey must think of a way herself during that phase and try to get out from that round but unfortunately it didn't.

They are all just not prepared for whatever output and Nunes able to spoiled them out surprisingly.

Not really advice from her coach, but yeah, exactly, the preparation, they might not be expecting that scenario. Or it's possible that Nunes camp already have an idea based on how Rousey was beaten by Holmes during their fight, since it is almost the same, she was caught too by Nunes wide open and shocked. That two losses exposes her weakness.

What an impressive fight, Amanda Nunes dominated Ronda Rousey in the very first round with a huge upset for the year end. When I watched the fight it's like Nunes just punching a mosquito in the mid air without a reason that she kicked Rousey's ass. Ronda should already knew that she's fighting a striker and she keep her distance with her. I don't know if she learned her lesson from his previous fight with Holms, very disappointed tho. Amanda's next opponent should be Holly Holms or Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino I want to see a real brawl in the octagon, blood spotting on the floor.

I think Rousey's problem is more mental than technical.  We can all blame her coach, her whole team or whoever.  But bottom line she shouldn't have taken this fight.  Nunes is expected to be a high level fighter, so Rousey should have had a tune up fight first before going for the championship.  It would be better for her mentally and her confidence.

Well one would expect that if you are the "Baddest woman in the world" and you are making all those millions, she would be bright enough to get a good trainer. But is this trainer new? what about the 12 wins? if she won the 12 wins with the same guy then why are all those people criticizing the trainer? Also how did exactly this guy got exposed?

Anyway I think she still could fight again, make that change in the coach if needed and let's see what happens, I think shes done but we'll see.

A few days later after UFC 207 it is becoming clear that it was Amanda Nunes who asked for the fight versus Ronda. She mentioned it in her post fight interview. If you did not see it then watch it again. Now in other interviews Amanda is saying that Ronda is overrated. I have realized that Amanda wants to become the new face of the UFC. That is something that will not happen because she does not have the charisma like Ronda has.

It is all about money and rumor is that she was not at all sparring as she normally does ,may be you are right as it might be a mental thing because she was sure she could defeat one of the boxing's undefeated Floyd Mayweather and her coach was sure that she could defeat any world class boxing champion if she enters a boxing ring  but the reality was she could not take a clean punch in the face :D ,yes she should have stayed with her technical base which is judo and taken the fight to the ground than listening to the hype.

Amanda Nunes is the first champion other than Ronda Rousey to defend the women's 135 belt and it was clear that Amanda wanted to built her career at the expense of Ronda Rousey as she is the face of the women MMA and an impressive win over her would mark the career she wanted ,but she started ridiculing Ronda after the victory which is really bad because if not for Ronda Rousey no one would notice women fighting .

@SaShiRaJaVu. Yeah, Amanda wants to be as big of a star as Ronda is. The problem with that is Amanda is hard to market. She is not as pretty, not as smart and witty, and she does nor have the it factor to bring the women's division to another level. If she thinks her name is going to be as big as Ronda's she will be really disappointed. She will never get a crowd like Ronda.

Well if she is starting to quote Rowlings for inspiration then you know a screw is loose somewhere after getting knocked out.

I just don't buy this "it was her coach ruining her" conspiracy. Let's just wait and see what happens. Her mom already told her that she should retire, but she still has a ton of support on the sport by other fighters that are telling her to come back. I think she will come back for a third fight, but it cant be for a tittle fight, or else she will get destroyed again, I think a non tittle fight will have better ods because of less pressure.

Or she is saying that she is not retiring and I hope she continues on. She is good for the sport and it will make things more interesting in the UFC if she is still around. My only wish is to see her in a good training camp the next time she decides to fight. I speculate she will be in the training camp of Jon Jones soon.

I also think Jon Jones might start training her on the striking part, she can't rule the division anymore only relying on judo and very poor striking skills, also needs better grappling and takeovers. We'll see what happens but I don't feel bad for her at all. She is rich while I have to work to pay the bills so fuck that.

Do you think its time for her to change camp? or just add Jon Jones in it?

Why do you think Jon Jones himself will train her? He could help train her but not in the striking part of the game. Jon Jones has a good wrestling background. If there is something he can teach it is wrestling. Jackson-Wink MMA is considered the best camp in the world. If Ronda really wants to train there she will have to train with Holly Holm. Maybe it will be good for her to train with someone who beat her.

Jon Jones made a suggestion that he could help her out but that does not mean that Jon Jones will be training her,he might help her move her camp to Jackson's and if Ronda Rousey still wants to fight she has to find a new coach that could strengthen her weakness rather than boasting her weakness as her strength . :D
