Strikeforce: Tate vs. Rousey Saturday March 3rd
- Thread starter InfamousICON
- Start date
Ronda got some serious ground skills. she put on a clinic on the mat. also that ref seemed like an idiot anyway when he started the fight but again tate didnt tap so whats he suppose to do. imagine if they pulled cerrone off bendo for not tapping, some people just have that threshold no1 has so IMO it's good it wasnt stopped until the tap.
i loved at the end when rowdy said she wasnt sorry for breaking it hahaha, that was ill.

As hot as Miesha Tate is and as bad as I felt her shit got broken i'm glad Ronda broke her shit. Sends a message to the audience that these bitches aint playing. You will pay the same price a guy would if he didn't tap. Ronda gained another fan on saturday! The shitty part about WMMA is that the talent pool is SO shallow.
