Not at all. She's been offered contracts to sign with the UFC and fecked it up herself. There's money to be had with a Cyborg/Rousey fight, there's no reason for Dana to avoid signing her if she's clean, silly to claim he's scared of signing competition for her, this the same week that he just signed Holly Holm. She'll have to prove she can make the weight though consistently, no chance she comes straight in and get's a title fight. That all said I'm still confident Rousey would destroy her either way.
The women's division isn't a joke. You're saying that simply because the champion is an absolute world class fighter. Welterweight division wasn't a joke when GSP was unstoppable. Same with Silva and even Jones at LHW recently. Sometimes you just get a champion who is that much better than everybody else, doesn't make the division a joke though. Take Ronda out of the equation and it's a really competitive division. It's not that the other women are shit either, it's just that Rousey is that damn good.
Also no clue where you got the idea that Rousey's striking is awful. It's improved massively which is no surprise considering she's trained it with the likes of Rijker and co.
Not really,
Dana makes more money keeping her undefeated and having that twat Joe Rogan trying to convince the world she's the greatest of all times blah blah blah! He comes out with utterly ridiculous statements about her every single PPV at this stage!
Don't try convince me or any other person with a shred of cop on about MMA / UFC that Dana will only sign her if she is clean, ffs he has fighters all over the roster on PED's! He tries to deny it but the amount of fighters stung for it now is on the up and will continue to rise! She made one mistake and was caught out, since then she has fought again and been tested and been clean! So from what I can see, it has sweet FA to do with PED's.
Your right the WW division was far from a joke, the talent across it when GSP was champ was unparralled, no other division was at the time more stacked with world class fighters, his list of wins is better than anyone else's in the history of MMA I'd argue. Rousey's win list thus far isn't anywhere as impressive, for me its ridiculous to compare.
Rouseys striking sucks, if you honestly think her striking is good you'd be happy with two guys in barney the dinosaur suits flap at each other! Her striking may have improved in the last 6-12 months but its a long way off being great, the only world class aspect of Rouseys game is her Judo takedowns! End of! Every single fight is the same, she goes right in for a takedown and gets it of course, why? because it is just that damn good and she goes for her armbar...
So far she really hasn't needed to use much else, her two main challenges for me are McMann again or Cyborg. Holly Holm has to prove herself yet, her mat game could be weak and found out, there's no doubting her striking ability of course... but stick her in there with Rousey this weekend, we all know the out come. She's a year or two away from a title shot (worthwhile challenge to it)
