 What Happens If Ronda Rousey Loses at UFC 157?  Espnw_10
Quote :
UFC 157 is just around the corner, and along with it comes the first-ever women’s MMA fight in the promotion’s 20-year history.

In the main event of the evening, former Strikeforce women’s bantamweight champion and newly-crowned UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey meets challenger Liz Carmouche in a fight that’s scheduled to go five rounds, yet more than likely won’t get past one.

You see, Rousey is something special. In all six of her pro MMA bouts, and in all three of her amateur bouts before that, Rousey has finished her opponents in the first round with her patented armbar. Eight of those finishes, by the way, came in the first minute, with only Miesha Tate surviving past the one-minute mark.

Safe to say Rousey is a stud, and the UFC is banking on her becoming one of their cash cows in the future.

The UFC knows Rousey is an attractive young woman who is an absolute killer in the cage, and someone that can become a huge star at the box office for the company. That’s why UFC president Dana White gave Rousey a UFC belt despite her having made only one title defence in Strikeforce, and despite the fact she has held the Number 1 spot in the women’s rankings for less than a year. The UFC knows how dominant the former Olympian judoka is, and that’s why they have her headlining a pay-per-view card ahead of male legends Dan Henderson and Lyoto Machida.

The UFC is banking on her winning, and the oddsmakers agree, with Rousey currently sitting as a 12-to-1 favorite. Everyone thinks she should run through Carmouche and continue on her winning ways, and that’s more than likely what’s going to happen.

But what if she loses? What if Carmouche wins? Then what?

This is a scenario I don’t think the UFC is planning for. I believe they gave Rousey a favorable matchup in Carmouche – another fighter who likes to fight on the ground – and they feel this is just the start of something special.

But let’s say Carmouche catches Rousey with a fluke punch, just like when Seth Petruzelli knocked out Kimbo Slice with a jab that made EliteXC collapse. Or let’s say that she beats Rousey with a fluke injury, like when Vitor Belfort cut Randy Couture’s eyelid and won the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship back in the day. Or what if everyone is overlooking the powerful Carmouche and she just beats the living snot out of Rousey from the opening bell? If Carmouche beats Rousey, will the UFC end this women’s MMA experiment they have going on, and will they start to push Carmouche as their new star, instead?
continued...

So what do you guys think, what happens if Carmouche pulls off the upset?

Personally I hope it happens. Rousey is fantastic to look at, and she is a great fighter, but the problem is it's gone to her head...she's WAY to cocky for how new she is to the sport...and making her a champion in the UFC without even one UFC fight under her belt didn't help matters. I think she needs a dose of "get dat ass whooped" reality.

somebody should photoshop rousey armbaring everything, just like fedor used to have. but this time, i bet, it'll be sexier and even dirtier.

but in reality, who the fuck cares who wins tomorrow. womans mma is irrelevant.
cant wait for machida vs hendo.
