Rousey finishing by armbar is what makes her amazing. You know she's going for it. Her opponent knows she's going for it. But not one opponent has been able to stop it from happening. Crazy.
Machida/Henderson went like I thought it would, except I thought Hendo might have been more aggressive. Seemed like he never really got going. So disappointing.

I've heard a few people call Ronda a "one trick pony" and I'm not sure if I completely agree with that or not. I mean, if you check her record out, she has won every single fight she's had by armbar, also finished them all in the first round. She doesn't even know what a second round feels like yet. She's a great fighter, don't get me wrong, but it would be a nice change if she finished fights by other means of submission, ground and pound, KO or something other than her go-to signature move. But hey, if its not broke, don't fix it. Go with what works and so far nobody has figured out the solution to Ronda's "one trick". It was a great fight and I just wonder who's next in line. Also, without question, early FOTY candidate goes to the incredible Matt Grice & Dennis Bermudez fight. Man, what a war that was!!! I loved it. The solution to Ronda's arm bar is simple. Don't let her get a hold of you. We've seen 9 chicks fail at that so far. Also, no, I don't think it'd be nice to see something new. Did anyone want Austin to get a 3 count with a spine buster? no. You wanna a kick and a Stunner. Just my opinion.

^ True enough. As I said, go with what works and right now, that armbar is one lethal maneuver. However, last time I checked, this sport is called Mixed Martial Arts. Would it be asking Ronda too much for her to mix it up for a change?? I mean, I wonder if she's as nasty at heel-hooks or leg-locks as she is with that armbar.

I was just quickly scrolling through the pictures seeing all these UFC fighters then had to stop at that picture, confused. I'm looking at this guy's face and say to myself is that... is that Chuck Palumbo? Then James' comment confirmed it. Haha, oh man, that's so random. Pretty awesome though.

I wanna meet him and tell him how dumbfounded I was when he debuted in WCW. He did a run-in or something, and either Tony Schiavone or Mike Tenay goes "OH MY GOD! THAT'S CHUCK PALUMBO!" I was just like.... "Who the is Chuck Palumbo?!" Good times.
