Ronda Rousey

[Frost]

It wasn't the head an arm toss, if you watch the vid link I posted you'll see that she ended up actually finishing the toss and landed with Liz in a . This is where she screwed up. Liz was incredibly strong and broke the kesa and took her back. Luckily Ronda's tougher. But, if you watch further, after she got Liz off her back and that initial bit of stand up, she went right back to the kesa hold down. It looked like in both instances she was trying to figure 4 Liz's arm. This is where she was over-relying on Judo. Kesa is a great Judo hold down, not so much for BJJ or MMA because there's too much opportunity to escape, which Liz almost did while Ronda was f*cking around trying to establish the figure 4. Watch further and maybe the coach yelled at her, or the Carlos Gracie training kicked in because you definitely see a light go off in her mind. Because she transitioned from Kesa to side, then to full mount. She got her position and hit the arm lock. The Kesa to Side to mount is pretty standard BJJ.

So to reiterate, it wasn't the takedown, Ronda's bad @ss, and Judo's the strongest. Osu!

I wasnt talking about the takedown i was taling about the hold
i wasnt talking about a throw but scarf hold on the ground (which is head and arm to me as a non judo person ) this is where she went wrong and as you say into judo mode

As for judo being the strongest...ummm......

If you get the chance, watch his Newaza video. Guy's amazing. Does a lot of no gi in it so it translates well to MMA.

Jesus i think i prefer listening to rogans breakdowns (and i never thought id say that)
i thought there dad was full of himself lol

why is she still arm barring people 7 times in a row and they cant do anything about it?.......because she is an Olympic calibre judo expert used to arm baring other OL calibre people, doing it to others no here near that level is relatively easy its not rocket science

I think her first loss will be by somebody taking her apart in the pocket and avoiding any and all clinches. Most likely somebody who hits hard enough to do it with one clean shot. That's assuming she doesn't make any big mistakes that get her hurt.

the problem is there arent that many hard strikers around in the ladies game, striking wise they havent developed to a similar standard as the grapplers have and they dont have the size and weight behind their traikes that the guys can put behind theirs

woman have been doing OL level judo for decades (basically pro level sports training full time with professional trainers and world class opposition) female striking simply hasn't developed to this level as its only really been around for a few years

UFC’s first female champion signs with talent agency
04 March 2013 | Posted in Agencies, Martial Arts, North America | By David Cushnan



Ronda Rousey, the Ultimate Fighting Championship's first female champion, has joined renowned US talent agency William Morris Endeavour (WME).

Rousey has won all seven of her UFC bouts so far, most recently defeating Liz Carmouche by submission during the UFC pay-per-view event in Anaheim last month.

In joining WME, which specialises in representing film and entertainment talent, she has added to speculation that she may crossover into on-screen roles. The suggestion has divided opinion in mixed martial arts circles.

Rousey, 26, also won a bronze medal in judo at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
