any clip of the 41 second fight?
No send off at all which is pretty shitty
He kindve said his goodbyes as the credits rolled though
My two fav tweets tonight:
She is done
And tonight proved she should have stayed away
I think it's quite a sad way to see her go. I know a lot don't like her, but she is the reason why women are in the UFC and that needs to be respected
There are literally no UFC events to look forward to over the next few months. All mediocre cards lacking star power.
I agree she's done, although I'm not entirely sure she will want to walk away as a two time loser. She is still the biggest or 2nd biggest draw so of course White will give her what she wants.
Don't think anybody expected that... he out-Cruz'd him. Put on a show and worked the crowd.
Just saw the highlights. Have no idea what sort of fighting style that was from Rhonda. Literally, all she needed to do was cover up in the most basic fashion, but instead she just had her arms straight out. Truly bizarre.
T'was really amazing brethren!
She thought she could bully her way into controlling the distance and didn't try to do anything like bull rush Amanda and try to judo her down. She just sort of stood there and allowed Amanda's long arms to repeatedly clock her in the face.
It almost looks like she took the fight just for the money...doesn't even look liked she trained...never once tried to close the distance and take Nunes down....just stood there and wait for Herb to stop it.
Even tho I'm not the fan of Ronda i do feel bad for her. That Edmund coach is a fekin twaat and she should have sacked him long ago but in that 2nd tweet he was telling her "head movement" yet she froze.
Getting KO'd by Holly in that brutal fashion took a massive toll on her and creeped a lot of fear in her mind, especially considering that in all her previous fights she barely got hit by anyone except by Miesha.
Don't think she will be able to come back after this, at least not successfully, she is not mentally there.

Yep. That was hilariously bad. She looked like an amateur out there. I mean, she was always a good amount of smoke and mirrors anyway, because her striking form is nothing short of embarrassing for a pro fighter. I've trained recreational fighters who hit better than that. But she didn't even, as you both say, play to her strengths.
It pretty much went the same way as the Holly fight, except Nunes has much more power. She has no striking defense and no answer when she gets stunned.
So Ronda will now sign with the WWE.....in 2019? Someone on Sherdog brought up a good question...imagine what Cyborg would of done to Rousey?
Nunes just said she didn't even train that much. 
Cruz is giving a classy presser
Cruz giving it up to Cody. Admits he got beat tonight.
Watching the match again and wtf is Rhonda doing? Has she ever fought before? Does she know what fighting is? That's the feeling you get. This was the worst performance I ever seen.
Even cm punk was better performance.
Nunes is good though

Not watched it yet but im not surprised. He acted gracefully just after the match too, even when he was being taunted. Fair play to him.

She didn't even have to be though. Rousey looked like a deer caught in the headlights. I guess you could call it The Mummy defense? Lumbering around with her arms straight out....
the classic stupid Helwani question to close it off.
Great presser by Cruz, agree.
Great presser by Cruz, agree.
Good night for McGregor, will be up to Dana to now try and spice up some cards next spring/summer....I don't see how they can draw the casual with Rousey broken and McGregor self sidelined for the next 10 months.
that picture reminds me of
Oh my god, nunes turned Ronda into van Nistelrooy.
Cruz was very classy to Cody post fight. The difference in how he dealt with the defeat as opposed to Rousey is day and night.
Garbrandt is going to become very big for the ufc.
I can't wait for his defense against Dillashaw. It's going to be fireworks.
Are MMA fights fixed often? Cos this one sure looked it.Watching the match again and wtf is Rhonda doing? Has she ever fought before? Does she know what fighting is? That's the feeling you get. This was the worst performance I ever seen.

Garbrandt just said he wants to give Cruz a rematch. Sorry TJ.That would be hella funny but they'll give it to TJ, radically with Cruz willing to sit out and wait.
Garbrandt is such a nice guy, gotta love the man.
He won a shitload of new fans this week (myself included).

Nunes is mocking Edmund. Says he convinced Ronda that she could box.
Same here. I thought he was a great young talent before but he's quickly becoming one of my favorite fighters. His style is just very exciting to watch.
Ronda got fecked up. Absolutely obliterated. The defence and head movement of a no-fights novice. Utterly woeful performance.
Cody Garbrandt was absolutely class too.

Chuffed for Garbrandt, didn't think he could do it but what a performance!
And wtf Ronda.. that was nothing short of embarrassing...
