I admire Ronda and her crazy armbar skills but I want Liz to win so I NEVER HAVE TO SEE AN ARMBAR AGAIN. Ronda’s last fight against Sarah Kaufman was brutal. Female MMA fighters are so incredibly tough. I love this sport. Will be on vacation 2/23 but no matter where I am, I will be watching and cheering!

I’ve been following Rousey since she was in the Olympics, and I’ve got to say, this is going to be a tough match for Carmouche. She’s going to have to strike and stay outside of takedown range to win, but here’s hoping she can do it!

I think you meant the Strikeforce title fight between her and Miesha Tate. It lasted about 4 minutes or so and Ronda won within 1 round. So it would be fun to see how Liz fights and makes it through more than 1 round.

IF you allowed to front, why isn’t she.

I’m so so happy about this interview, will quickly write down the date of the match and start talking to everyone about it.

I’d be a little worried if I was Liz…hopefully she can give Ronda a good run around.

Both women are excellent fighters and athletes, so regardless it’s going to be fun to watch.
