[tokeweed]

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.

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 

[harizen]

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.

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

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.

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.

[DRaGoN RaNTaRo]

if rousey looses this match against nunes i am here to bet that she will commit suicide  ,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 

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!?! ) and the fat piglet looking fugly beeotch that she is!
So i would not be surprised if she off't herself really. 

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..
Rousy for the win on this game!

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

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

[lemipawa]

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.

[notserp]

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.

[nydiacaskey01]

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 .

[bbc.reporter]

@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.

[notserp]

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.
