yeah, ronda has this. kaufman's stand up is, while very solid by wmma standards, still very limited. basic combos without real power. her tdd isnt great, and her ground game is awful... alexis-freakin-davis controlled her with ease in the third round of their fight. shes tough but shes not highly skilled.

basically shes about as perfect style match up for ronda as shes gonna get.

at 1/6 on tho (1.16 or -600 for the americans) that isnt a good value bet

I can't understand why Davis stood and traded with Kaufman. If she'd have taken her down asap, I'm sure she'd have subbed her. IMHO Nunes has got a better punch than Sarah.

You make it sound as if Alexis Davis is a joke on the ground.She gave Kyra Gracie hell in a grappling match and came close to submitting her.She controlled and submitted Hitomi Akano much more impressively than Sara Mcmann did. I know Rousey is on a diffrent level but to just dismiss Davis as alexis-freakin-davis is not respecting how skilled of a grappler she is.
With her striking and grappling skills,I think Alexis Davis would provide Rousey with her most serious test.

look, alexis davis is an *extremely* sloppy mma grappler and her standup is awful. her match with kaufman is a statement on kaufman being over-rated than her being under-rated.

you honestly can't use the metric you do using akano to measure fighters, especially when mcmann and davis are very different types of fighters and were fighting different fights agains akano. i would back mcmann to absolutely shut down alexis davis if they fought, fwiw, and id be very surprised if u didnt do the same.

and i would say the same for rousey - it wudnt be competitive. davis' grappling isnt high level and her stand up is pretty awful. by wmma standards this makes her an ok fighter, sure, but the majority of wmma fighters are unfortuantely objectively not very good. basically my point still stands - if alexis-freaking-davis can control you on the deck and drag you down, rousey rousey sure as hell can.

Congrats on Mexico!

I'm seriously considering putting up to £1,000 on Ronda FTW.

Damn dude, anything can happen, that is way over my head to risk.
I'm fine with (and expecting to) losing my $50, and can only gain a nice chunk of change in the event of upset.
You must feel to have everything under control, which you probably have judging by that fireplace pic
