    Did I say Carano did it to quite the extent Rousey did? :roll: No. That's how paving the way in concatenate fashion works. Those who come after you will build on what you did.

    She drew crowds and opened doors for subsequent females in MMA, though. Everything that Rousey did was an extension of what Carano started; without Gina, there's no Ronda.

    And it's not something that you'll see again.

    Carano's fight on shotime did some of their best ratings ever.

    She is such a cutie. She's a year older than me and watching her talk, I keep involuntarily going "awwwww!"

    You'll see it at least one more time. There's going to be a rematch and it's going to be bigger than this fight.

    That was an incredibly powerful moment. Holm became emotional and speechless when asked what transpired in her conversation with her coach immediately after she won.

    Looks like Ronda went to the hospital after the knockout loss. Let's hope she's OK. That kick was brutal...regardless of gender.

    Biggest upset in UFC history (going by the book makers) in front of record-setting crowd.

    HOLM IS A MULTIPLE-SPORT LEGEND! :bowdown

    I'm a little surprised that so many people here cared this much about Rousey fights.

    *Holm fights.

    *a boxing champion getting "cherry picked" to be a lamb to slaughter for a hyped up MMA champion.

    ...I'm now antagonizing teenage girls on Twitter after replying to all of their butthurt tweets about how "Rousey is still the best" and "Holm isn't any better than her" and getting in flame wars. :lol: I need to go to bed.
