Another dynamic performance in defense of her title today. She also has more personality in her little finger than Rousey does in whole body. UFC put all their eggs behind the wrong show pony or is there room for two? I do not really care much about women's MMA but they just may be keeping Zuffa going through a dry spell.
Rousey will not like sharing the spotlight with another woman. Perhaps she will threaten to beat up Dana White and every male at Zuffa for making Joanna a star. Probably challenge Joanna to fight up at 135 but she would never fight Cyborg at 145 or even 140.
rousey will probably only fight once a year for a few more years , i doubt she cares too much about JJ especially when she is not even in her weight class .
One thing about women: It's rare to find any who have striking skills. Women would rather pursue grapples or wrestling because they're terrified of getting hit hard in the face. Women arent really built to take hard impact stress to the face. For these reasons Joanna is certainly the most imporessive woman in the UFC. She clearly has put a lot of time in training and in-ring competitions to get sharp striking skills. Her technique at stand up and her ability to keep it standing is killing these girls. UFC women dont know how to fight standing up. If UFC women grapplers cant get a striker down they pretty much have a fork in their back.
Her striking really does flow beautifully regardless of her gender. Just an honest observation, I am in no way being a fanboy.
