Just a reminder, fights are tomorrow.

Ronda Rousey is an olympic Judoka. A groundbreaking one at that.

"The American judoka qualified for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, at just 17 years of age and was the youngest judo player in the entire competition. Her judo accomplishments and medals are too many to list, though she may be best known for her run at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she won bronze and became the first American to medal in women’s judo since its inception as an Olympic sport in 1992."


A very interesting story overall. I imagine she flattens her opponent.




I see Villante has been relegated to challenger prelims. I know he's lost his last 2, but both guys he fought are rolling. Very quick turnaround here. Less then 2 months since a very tough fight vs Larkin.

Gurgel stinks.

You think he loses tonight?

I think he can beat Duarte.

I just think they could have made a better main event.

He can or he will? Not a very definitive pick for the fight.

"For this fight my goal is to go in and win. Make it look good, make it
look entertaining, and look good while I'm at it. I wanna, you know, try
and bring a lot more attention to women's MMA and what I really think
we need right now is, you know, a face of the sport that people actually
wanna look at. So I'm gonna try my best to be that person."
