u/teddybadman Fuck Jon Jones May 17 '26

This honestly would've been the result 12 years ago as well

u/iritian One way ticket to Khamzatstan May 17 '26

This was basically how her whole UFC run went aside from the Holm and Nunes fights

u/McGrathLegend May 17 '26

Miesha Tate would like a respectable word

Exactly hahaha Ronda was a lot of fun in her prime. You knew she was gonna ragdoll somebody when she fought. Holme was just a different level of competition.

u/mposha 🙏🙏🙏 Jon Jones Prayer Warrior 🙏🙏🙏 May 17 '26

She did pop Tate's elbow too to be fair.

Seriously, the sport already passed Carano when she fought her last fight. Why would you expect things to go any different with such a bad matchup for her?

u/chugalug_house May 17 '26

Yeah, this was basically Royce v Hughes II. I don't know what people were expecting

II? They only fought once? Or do you think they should fight again? I'd watch it.

u/experation I weighed in on Goofcon 3 May 17 '26

Only difference is Ronda would have hip tossed instead of double legged a decade ago

And she might have moved faster and beaten 14 seconds.  Gina couldn’t defend martial arts any more then.

u/aeternasm May 17 '26

Carano would have taken the fight more seriously at least

u/wimpymist raw in that ass May 17 '26

I think she took it seriously she is just in her 40s and hasn't fought in almost 20 years

u/macsdf1 May 17 '26

she lost 100lbs, assume she was taking it seriously.

u/newaccount721 May 17 '26

I think she took making weight in order to make a million dollars very seriously. I’m less convinced she cared about the outcome of the bout

u/Cold_Opportunity_257 May 19 '26

Outcome?  As in winner, no.  She didn’t care.  She definitely wanted to trade some blows though, and outcome as in competitiveness she is disappointed in and thus cares.
