Strikeforce's Ronda Rousey on Gratuitous Violence, Arm Bars + Women's MMA
Спорт
MMA H.E.A.T.'s Karyn Bryant catches up with Strikeforce fighter Ronda Rousey at Antoni Hardonk's Dynamix Martial Arts, and gets her thoughts on a number of topics, including: her recent controversial arm bar victory over Sarah D'Alelio, the balancing act female fighters go through to win new fans and what the transition from Olympic Judo to MMA was like. (Ronda won a Bronze medal in Judo at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, and has so far been undefeated in MMA.) She also talks about her kickboxing training with former UFC fighter Hardonk, and her upcoming fight with Julia Budd, which is set to take place at Strikeforce Challengers 20 on November 18, 2011, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

She's a fucking beast. "I feel like my striking is exponentially improving all the time, and it's mostly because I started at zero. I had no bad habits to begin with." - R.R.
ROnda Roose-sey
karyn seems so down to earth and friendly but like ariel is like serious business and mr encyclopedia
Nothing like a little Test to dry your tittles up in the morning! :D
dude,she is huge,look at her arms and her shoulders!!
Wow she looks much better now at 134, you can tell around her face an shoulders that she really dropped some weight. She also said she preferred the new weight and it was better for her arthritis
Looking back on this video is pretty funny. Ronda's definitely taking full advantage of that 'free pass' for gratuitous arm breaking.
@GracieJits925 actually, he just said she should take Aoki's mentality intro the cage and start breaking things when / if the other chick doesnt want to tap. It will make sure she doesnt have any problems like the D'Alelio fight and maybe it will up the womens's game. Like to see her fight Cyborg after she demolishes Beudd.
shes awesome.
ronda is awesome
she is talented i just don't like her when she talks. she's kind of cocky. but i think it's ok to be cocky if u're an mma fighter better cocky than boring. whenever she fights ,i'll watch. cuz she's definitively interesting to watch.
@grahamhg you sure? Cyborg is a World BJJ champion and bronze medalist at ADCC against Judoka who only has armbars. Judo is mostly throws I will take high level BBJ fighter over Judoka on the ground any day.
@grahamhg BJJ and Judo are not the same, my country is one of the best Judo countries I watched guys go from competing in local tournaments to winning Olympic gold and world Championships. Judoka can throw the hell out of BBJ guy and roughhouse him/her in the clinch but on the ground I give edge to BJJ fighter. Judokas are probably more crafty with armbars but that's it, IMO.
@GracieJits925 Oh, and remember she has like 6 MMA fights and has won them all by armbar spending less than 5 minutes in a cage in total. Just a guess, but she might be able to take your arm in less than a minute too :P
its been fun watching her grow but please stop now!
@thebordercitybadboy That's Antoni Hardonk..
actually in some other videos ive seen of her she actually looks kinda cute :D
I can't believe anyone would say that RR is hotter than Gina.
wait for me...
@alphamonX maybe in a few years. im not trying to see women on ppv yet
@kreed82 She has been doing movies for the past 18 months. Just like former LHW champ Rampage did. And now who's fighting for the title this coming weekend?... Taking time off to explore a different field and spend time with one's family is hardly being non ambitious. And as far as not making weight, give me a break, she failed to make weight for 1 fight, the other she weighed over and had to take her clothes off, after reweighing she made weight. So officially 1 time not making weight...
@MsMarc1234 Just an observation :)
the frank mir of womens mma
she my next arm bar buddy...lol
Ronda doesn't fight men so why would she fight chris cyborg?
PRIDE yeahh....
Looks like a boss.
@shinsama3333 LOL spot on mate
HER ARMS ARE FUCKING HUGE DOES YEARS OF JUDO DO THAT?
All I can say is....Ronda is HOT!
She could beat the shit out of everybody who comments on this video.
i prefer gina carano
great interview, karyn. love ronda too. wish she would add me on facebook lol.
LOL stop hating. Karyn's arms are bigger than hers.
It's a weird feeling when you see a woman that can beat the FUCK out of you
must HURT KAR-RYEEEEEEN..... TO MESS UP HER NAME
I WANNA SEE MORE WOMAN IN MMA
Ronda's gonna beat the Kitty
@kreed82 Simpleton with no ambition lol? Gina held it down cause no one could beat her, it's that simple. Until Santos came along. And i dont see anyone beating Cyborg for a very very long time. At least not a woman. Gina went 14-1-1 in Muay Thai, and 7-1 in MMA. Ya, real simpleton. Gina is far from non ambitious.
@tkotomy hahaha Cris Cyborg is hotter than everybody.
why do she always look like she wanna cry?
@bandanavillain hahaha amen cyborg will destroy her.
@fchrgl Pump up den
@Monoceraptor00 lol you think lifting weights would help you beat a pro fighter? that would take at least five years of martial arts training, just to beat a pro WOMAN fighter, let alone a male fighter.
ronda couldn't fit in my honda
damn her arms are bigger than mine lol
She is annoying. Cyborg will wipe the floor with her.
hell i dont find her attractive, she is too masculine, while gina carano!
