    Lima isnt UFC standard IMO; has looked fairly poor now all the time. Great KO

    Yeah they talked about him before that he was great but definitely didn't show it tonight

    That would be an amazing fight. Do you think Katie might consider a move into MMA someday?

    Yes I think its too late in the day to begin the mma for her but in stand up alone she would kill Ronda

    Was hoping her seeing all the fun the Irish fighters are having might lure her in ;)
    Oh well.

    What do ye all think of the main event? I have thought when I first saw her ages ago that Cat can beat Rousey. Its her slow starts that worry me

    Totally agree.She always does!

    It hurts me emotionally to see her body get hurt and bruised in fights! :pac:

    You mean Rousey to win early?

    I am bolding predicting Cat to win. Either I look like a muppet in a few hours or I am right!!

    I think Rousey showed in her fights that she can't take a punch well. She got barely hit and she looked terrified and then went to her base in grappling. Its so good it gets her results all the time but Zingano can really strike well.

    Rouseys last fight was ridiculous I hope it goes past a round ,iv only seen her fight twice and the two scraps were over within a round, I haven't seen much of Zingano to be honest I'm hoping for over a round anyhow and Rousey to get tested ,ain't seen it before

    Stupid fans booing guys who stop fighting because they can't see. They booed Darren Cruickshank too, idiots.

    Terrified? Thats not a word I would use to ever describe a look I have seen on Rouseys face lol. Cat is too slow to get going, Ronda is going to go in quick, get in the clinch and judo throw Cat across the cage then sink in the armbar for the win..all in the first round. Only hope Cat has is avoid Ronda for the first round as much as possible and take it to a brawl later on.

    I mean you can see when she gets hit she doesn't take it well. She immediately goes for the takedown.At that level there should be no reaction.

    Ronda will go straight for a throw to get Zingano down. She won't want to trade with her

    She would should be terrified if she saw Cyborgs win last night but thats for another day!

    RNC as I type this!! Wow!!!

    I think she takes punches fine, she improves after each fight too.

    The more I see it the more shocking it gets that guy should never ref another fight that was absolutely horrendous.

    His poor ref skills really came to light when he almost stopped it but didn't. He was out for ages.

    Really hope the Rousey-Zingano fight goes into the championship rounds

    Rousey sets a crazy pace and I don't think she'll be able to keep it going for 5 rounds

    If I had to bet on it though, I'd have to go with a Rousey win in the 1st round

    And thats the correct way to ref from the RNC position .... Ferguson is a beast really starting to hit form!

    Ferguson improving a lot. He was pretty much just a boxer in the TUF house.

    That could be Koscheck done. Not like Ellenberger has been all that great recently.
