Anyway, as an aside, if you want to see a great WMMA fight, made even greater by the sensational work of the announcer, watch Kaufman/Davis II. It's a fabulous fight and Mauro's calling of it was out of this world.

God good, she has put on a lot of weight in a really short time.

This might not be far off.

She probably walks around as 150 when she is fit. After the fight she obviously eats a lot because of the starvation during camp + sugars help fight depression / bad mood, so she might be at 160-170 lb on those photos.

Former boxing training partners open up on Ronda Rousey’s striking
January 10, 2017 10:41 am by Evan Bell
[Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register]

Leading up to UFC 207, there was much speculation as to whether former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey would return to the Octagon and showcase improved striking following her year-long hiatus following her one-sided KO loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193, where she lost the UFC women’s bantamweight championship.

In the time since her UFC 207 loss to Amanda Nunes to close out 2017, Rousey has continued to receive criticism for her underdeveloped striking. In addition, Rousey’s head coach, Edmond Tarverdyan, has received quite a bit of criticism for his role in providing Rousey with what many believe to be a false sense of confidence in her striking.

Last week, it was revealed that fellow UFC women’s bantamweight Raquel Pennington trained with Rousey leading up to UFC 207, and had even signed an NDA preventing her from discussing the training. Now, in an interview with SkySports, two of Rousey’s training partners have opened up on their experiences training with the former champ.

Olympic boxer Mikaela Mayer, who trained with Rousey before UFC 207, explained to SkySports:

“We went at it 100 per cent,” Mayer says about their sparring. “For me, as an Olympic-style boxer, it was good work because she gave me that style. She lets her hands go, she punches hard. She kept coming forwards so I had to punch in combinations, I couldn’t just throw two. When she got on the inside, I had to work her body.”

In addition, former WBC champion Diana Prazak, who trained with Rousey prior to her UFC 193 showdown with Holly Holm, stated:

She was stiff, she’s not a striker, and you don’t punch a puncher,” Diana Prazak, a former WBC champion, said about Rousey’s latest defeat exclusively to Sky Sports.

“She’s not a boxer, that’s not something you pick up in a couple of months. I started working with Ronda over two years ago but, but when she was going to fight Holly Holm, they stopped me being her sparring partner.”

“My opinion? It wouldn’t have been good for her confidence to keep sparring me, and not being successful. Edmond made that decision. She isn’t a striker.”

Dave Meltzer has some interesting insights on Ronda, Holly Holm, and Cris Cyborg and their current situations
