    It's a good comparison, she's about as unstable as Tyson was/is

    We will see if she is the face of the sport when the numbers come out..
    Connor McGregor last card in the PPV before this one topped just over 1 Million buys.. This may have passed it, but we will see..

    Yeah mcgregor is another who has had a lot of hype around him but unlike roussey he has beaten proven wc fighters where as roussey has been beaten up on mostly naturally smaller and completely overmatched opponents,

    I don't mind UFC & i watched the fight last night. Everyone seems to be going crazy but I watched it and thought it was a tad boring just because it's over too fast, I saw nothing from ronda except wild swinging and when one punch lands its over because of the glove size lol.

    There wasn't much in skill set on show that's for sure, I mean she just used her size to push the other lass to the cage then a big clubbing hand and that's it, then u get the continuous omg omg from the idiot announcer as if we've seen a masterful performance

    Its the always infuriating Zuffa hype machine designed to get people talking about their sport..... and it's obviously working

    The GGG facebook fan page is getting similar spam, makes me want to unfollow, it's sickening

    But dont forget its all just the Zuffa hype machine designed to get people talking about their sport

    It's insulting to a boxing fan if they were comparing her win streak to Shinsuke Yamanaka, let alone some legends of the past.

    Mike Tyson is the biggest hype job of the last 30 years. Easily. He was called the "baddest man on the planet" and doesn't have a single good win on his resume.

    Crazy athletic, but had a ten-cent head and was fixed up with falsely rated "top" fighters to pad his record.

    His biggest wins are Berbick and old, shot Larry Holmes. Yeah, I'd say being called the baddest man on the planet is extremely over rated.

    BTW, it's YOU'RE and not your. Maybe you should be face-palming that.

    It was said earlier, that Ronda showed no skill in that fight. Neither chick did. And in the UFC, if your last name isn't Rousey or McGregor, then Dana White doesnt give a **** about you. I watch Bellator more, when i feel like watching MMA. I'm kind of bias though, I got a buddy who has 2 fights in Bellator now haha.

    Go to sleep you moron. Tyson is desperate, broke as a joke and is getting paid off by the UFC to spread their propaganda... It's obvious, he bashes boxing every chance he gets yet he's at every UFC event sucking the fighters off.

    The UFC card atthe weekend was PPV and 4 of the 5 events on he main card lasted a total of 2 minutes combined. Would genuinely prefer to watch WWE.
