The females haven't evolved to that point yet and there is literally no one else who can grapple well in the female division.

She could tear up the average 135-lb. Joe on the street without much trouble, I'd expect, but I think you're entirely correct in the above assessment. There looks to bre a pretty wide gap between her and the rest of the female 135 class. She's turning into a pretty good striker, by some accounts .

couldnt tell you a name on the rest of the matches. i used to love watching boxing growing up(Ali, Foreman, Leonard, Frazier). did some teaching/kickboxing in college. i've always been highly impressed with Judokas, Aikido and the sort.

i don't keep up with any of the other names in this game-just caught Ronda on her last match and enjoyed the classy lady. wife enjoyed it too, and we are much a peaceful family.

Kayaking with the ladies - there is no rerun of this event. It should be the winner.

I followed boxing and some kickboxing most of my life , until MMA came along. Then the thrill of boxing faded . I've been in one fight in my life; not even a real conflict, just schoolyard silliness at age 12. I'm a pacifist and a tree hugger , but I own a gun and watch men and women fight. Big funkin' deal .... I don't agree with the judgemental views some people throw out towards recreational use of firearms, or spectatorship or participation in
combat sports . Nobody is forcing people to get in the cage. I have a lot more issues with servicemen and women being forced into repeated tours in wars of questionable intention and merit, and gettting shabby care and support when they come back. I'd rather use my energy disapproving of things that actually matter .

how do we reconcile "be nice" with two people trying to physically dominate each other?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with a woman learning martial arts/ combat skills, that my one day very well save their life. There's also nothing wrong with them wanting to compete with the skills they work so hard to acquire. These aren't street fights, they are professional events.....

It'd sure "be nice" to have Rhonda dominate me..... just sayin...

How is almost every time her first name is posted in this thread, it's spelled wrong? It's not that hard to spell and it's in the title of the videos in the OP.

Sorry... probably shouldn't mention it, but it's just strange.

It's called "sportsmanship"
