Well worth mentioning for those that aren't aware:
Cyborg was using anabolic steroids.
Yes, if she wasn't she would get crushed by the very strong Japanese fighter.

You would think Kaufman has a decent chance at this if she literally sits in the gym with like Featherweight male jujitzu/judo guy and just learns to defend against arm bars. She can clearly outstrike Rousey. Nonetheless I do agree with her probably losing, but I think it's close.

this chick being trained by cyborg seems to be a good bet but i need to watch some of her fights. rousey needs to take one good shot to test her under adversity, so far she's just been eating soft shots and wrestlefucking opponents.

Rousey doesn't wrestle, nor are her current training partners wrestlers.
Forgot to add: She's a judo fighter and trains in striking and BJJ mostly. I believe she trained some wrestling for her fight against Miesha Tate, more for defensive purposes than anything.

you must have no idea about AEs
she was caugh with stanozolol, so she made a stano cycle before the fight, prob during training camp
but probably made some mistake to hide it, so she was caugh
im pretty sure that 90%+ fighters and high level athletes use AEs
it's not like fighting on coke
it's used more in trainings, to be able to train more, heal faster, etc

I'm looking forward to this: Ronda vs Kaufman is a cool fight and I like both fighters, I guess Ronda is better for the sport though.
Amagov and Jacare are also really fun fighters so rooting for them.

Most of these fighters are decent or good.
On paper, this card looks just as good, if not better than most non-PayPerView UFC events.
Kaufman is +450 vs. Rousey -600. I'd make a bet on this fight with those odds. We're all assuming Rousey will take Kaufman down, but if she doesn't, it's an auto-loss for Rousey.
