"Well, I will never say that I can't beat anyone," Rousey said. "I don't think that me and him would ever fight unless we ended up dating,"

Why does the UFC keep pushing the "Ronda would beat Floyd" angle? Has Floyd ever even acknowledged this nonsense? Is Zuffa this desperate for attention, that they have to name drop Mayweather every other day?

I can't tell if she's trying to drop hints that she wants to date PBF or that he always beats up his girlfriend's

I'm more bored and disgusted with people asking ronda these same stupid ass questions over and over again than i am her; I'm not a rr fan either.

You nailed it.



Let's think of some words for this:

Pathetic
Shameless
Sad
Stretch
Attention whoring
Foolish
Childish


Please add, let's test T-MMAC's diversity.

Why is it everytime an interviewer asks Ronda a dumb question and she answers people think Zuffa is pushing an angle?

Agreed. This has nothing to do with the UFC. She was doing a media tour promoting the movie Entourage. She was asked the question by someone from Access Hollywood which is a TMZ style celebrity tv show.

I don't think it's Zuffa personally behind this, but i doubt she hasn't been coached somewhat by her employers in the matters of PR.

I'm thinking its because she's currently the face of the org and is touted as the biggest star ATM. No doubt she gets PR training and groomed for every single interview and event.

It's Zuffa that propagated this bs to begin with, simply by brass airing out their money-motivated opinions repeatedly.
They pull the media strings along with attention gathering stunts

I think you're overestimating the intelligence of the media and the influence of Zuffa. Both are a lot more incompetent than we give them credit for.

In fact, Zuffa is arguably the least PR-savvy large sports organization on the planet.

Because in this instance, Dana and Ronda have been name dropping Floyd for a year now. Ronda would whoop Floyds ass. Have you seen Floyd, he's this tall. Floyd talks shit about MMA, but our 135 lb womens champ would kill him. Etc, etc.

So after all of that, it's kind of hard to not think there's a hidden agenda in there somewhere when Floyds name comes up. If the UFC is the Super Bowl of MMA, bigger than the NFL and Soccer...they shouldn't need to lean on a hypothetical fight between Ronda & Floyd to promote the 135 lb womens division & it's champion. Her accomplishments within the organization should be enough.

I've never even heard Floyd mention Ronda. He was asked about her once in an interview and said "who?". Wouldn't even acknowledge her. Yet for the past 12+ months, Dana & Ronda have went on and on about what Ronda would do to him in an MMA fight. It just wears me out.

I can't think of a single instance where Dana or Ronda have brought up Floyd unprompted by an interviewer. Floyd's current. He's around the same weight. If you're a reporter looking to generate clickbait, it's only logical to bring it up. Ronda, I think, has been mostly just answering the questions they put to her. She's never called Floyd out or brought him up independently even once.

And yeah, she'd armbar him in less than a minute. :)

I thought she was responding in her characteristically aggressive way to a question she was tired of. It made me laugh, mostly because it's a scenario so in character for both of them. Romantic comedy from absolute Satan.

I say we institute a maximum of 1 Ronda story on the front page. The Rousey Blog over at that other place is getting out of hand. The other week there was 4/6 top stories on Rousey over dumb shit like this.
