How sweet it is.

- behaved like a c@nt the entire TUF season you coached
- didn't shake hands after beating Tait
- constantly claiming you will retire undefeated as the greatest of all time
- regularly trash talking opponents after you defeat them
- storming Holly then losing it when she sticks up for herself at weigh in
- not touching gloves

B@tch got exactly what she deserved. Happy to admit she was a great champion in the ring but is an average human from what I have seen. Glad the Karma bus got a hold of her today. Enjoy your headache and learn some humility.

Congrats to Holly Holm on a flawless performance smashing Rousey in every department. She was simply awesome. No doubt there will be a rematch probably at UFC 200. It reminds me of Anderson Silva taunting Weidmann and getting KTFO and everyone said he would definitely win the rematch but it's a long way back from an ass kicking like that.

It's all bravado and showmanship to sell PPVs. Rousey comes across as a fantastic person in her interviews away from octagon.

Was at the show and it was awesome, the crowd went nuts! Just got a photo with Robert Whittaker at the Crown too. The weigh-ins, Q&As and fan access area yesterday were all really well done.

Rousey was behaving strangely at the weigh-ins and also at today's 'referee's instructions', especially when there was no beef/issue between the 2. Holly was incredibly calm through it all, and never looked like losing.

Etihad was far from sold out, but we still broke the UFC attendance record.

Refusing Miesha Tates handshake after already having broke her arm in the first fight and nearly breaking it in the second is the true reflection of the person she is. That had nothing to do with bravado and was a true show of the worst sportsmanship I have ever seen. The PPV is over at that point. That's straight out being a terrible human. Holly Holm did something RR would never have done and showed concern for her felled opponent.

Not sure what you would expect from someone on about 10K an appearance in outside interviews. She would have a media manager and training on how and what to say. Put the girl under any pressure and you see the real average person come out.

Again not taking anything away from her athletic ability but if you choose to tell the world you are the greatest and will retire undefeated it's very Mundineish and you will always get what you deserve.

The greatest part of this whole thing is hearing that her trainer who is a biggest piece of shit in MMA is going bankrupt and doesn't have his golden ticket to hide behind.

Lucky bastard!

How much were the tickets? Did you drive over? What was the cost of the weekend?

I'm looking at heading to Brisbane next year depending on the card.

Tickets were very expensive, which might explain why it wasn't sold out. Mine was $285 (plus all the extra booking fees) from memory, for a seat on the first raised level. I had a great view though.

I took 2 days long-service-leave for Friday and today, and with the wife (who shopped while I was at all the UFC events on the Sat & Sun. This added to the cost! We flew over.

I won't be going to the Brisbane show (which is a Fight Night show, but is being shown on Fox so it will be better, on paper, than the Fight Pass Fight Night events), espcially after being front row in Adelaide in May and then this weekend.

Yeah I couldn't justify $600 for the 2 plus maybe $800 for flights and then accomodation and expenses for us when the Mrs has little to no interest. Especially as it's been shown on Fox.

We will save our outlandish overspending for Wrestlemania when the kids are a bit older.

From Fox Sports...

WITH her wild approach badly missing the mark, Ronda Rousey looked a woman in need of sound technical and tactical advice after the first round against Holly Holm. Instead she got praise and encouragement.

Less than a minute later, Rousey was on the canvas with her unbeaten UFC record in tatters and now many are pointing the finger at coach Edmond Tarverdyan for his role in the former champ’s shock knockout in UFC193 in Melbourne on Sunday.

Clearly rocked and bleeding from the mouth after Holm’s first-round display of astute movement and powerful counterpunching, Rousey was complimented by Tarverdyan for her “beautiful work” in front of a packed Etihad Stadium.

^^^This is the guy that would mad dog everyone on TUF and then when I think it was Brian Stam stood up to him he cowered like a bitch. He is nothing more than a glorified bag holder who has ridden RR's coat tails to the top. Got found out big time on the weekend. He also seemed to be the catalyst to a lot of her shithouse behaviour on the show.

I got to wonder if Ronda still thinks she could beat men now or if perhaps her competition wasn't quite at the level it was assumed it was at. You look back at her last two fights and Cat Zingano clearly just made a huge error both technically and tactically and that Brazillian Bethe Whatsherface seemed clearly not right in the head and lost a quick little rock em sock em robot battle. I think she was made to look unbeatable by two people who came in with crap game plans.

Hopefully she dumps her douchenag corner man and comes back with some respect for Holly and we get to see a classic rematch. I doubt she will be running over to her at the weigh ins and behaving like f*cktard and im tipping she may just touch gloves as well.

I couldn't agree more. I've tried really hard to like Rousey and out of the ring, she seems quite likeable, but ultimately I just can't like her when you have such ring savvy people like Tait and Holm doing their stuff with decorum and honour.

Holm absolutely dismantled her for 6 minutes.

So as far as I'm concerned, Rousey will appear on knock out highlight reels for eternity. And I'll enjoy it.

I watched UFC193 tonight and even knowing the result, I got goosebumps watching Holm winning. Fantastic for the sport IMO.

Rousey never really looked to take the fight to the ground. That will be the most notable tactical change in the rematch.

Attending a Wrestlemania is a must for any pro wrestling fan. Did it in 2008 and it was awesome.

It just keeps getting better and better.

(ESPN) – In possibly the biggest upset in UFC history, Holly Holm has knocked out Ronda Rousey, for the woman who claimed to be the best fighter in the whole world, things just got worse. After being hospitalized after the fight, she tested positive for PED's.

The shocking news has ended Rousey's "super human" image. Her head coach stated that Ronda only takes legal supplements that boost testosterone and burn fat.
