Argazkia Kreditu: Esther Lin / MMA Fighting

Emandako da zerga-denboraldia, sasoi ona da gogoratzen da zaren ez hiru bermeak bizitzan: heriotza, zergak eta Ronda Rousey berriro ere erakusten du zergatik planetako emakume borrokalari onena bere aurkari eraistea lehen txandan batekin zuen.

Rousey UFC emanaldi 184 azken hilabetean bere data onenetako zen. Orratz Cat bat aurkeztu zuen, zabalduena Rousey ren erronka handiena gisa hartzen, in 14 segundo. Rousey Erabat izugarria estrategia bat Zingano by lagunduta zen bitartean, bere birtuoso performance nork du eztabaida bestera ekarri zer Rousey dethrone hartzen du. Gainera, ala ez Rousey elkarrizketa barregarria bat ekarri zuen aurka eta porrota gizonezkoa borrokalari lehiatu ahal izan UFC en bantamweight Mailari. Denbora gutxiago aldrebesak hori gastatu dagoela ezer accomplishes borrokalari handia Rousey da aipua saiatzen baina, hobeto.

Jakina, beti ateratzen lehenengo izena Cris "Cyborg" Justino da, Invicta FC featherweight txapeldun. She erortzen espero da 135 Invicta borroka bat uda honetan libera mugitzea Rousey borroka bat aurretik. Hala ere, Cyborg tanta bat iaz bantamweight saiatu eta plan horiek abandonatuta. Beraz, ez nuke eduki nire arnasa luzeko espero Rousey eta Cyborg edonoiz laster gertatzen arteko grudge Partidu on.

Rousey berriki Bethe Correia borrokatzeko nahia adierazten, nor Rousey en "Lau amazonak" taldekideekin bi tratu eta izan da inoiz Rousey deituz geroztik. Jessica Eye, halaber, bere erreklamazioa staked izenburua jaurtiketa bati, baina emakume horiek ez benetako Rousey mehatxu bat sor. UFC 184 en postfight estaldura zehar, Daniel Cormier floated bere lankide Miesha Tate ideia Rousey hirugarren crack bat lortzeko.

Izan ere, gainera, uste dut trilogies erreserbatuta behar denean bakarrik borrokalari bakoitzak bestea garaitu ditu, Dago arrazoirik zergatik hirugarren aldiz Tate xarma bat izango litzateke ikusten dut. Urrunago joan Rousey dituzten lehen txanda baino emakume bakarra den bitartean,, Tate borrokalari gisa plateaued ditu Rousey hobea ahaztuak bitartean. Ziren bi hirugarren aldiz borrokatzea bada, Arrazoirik ez ikusten dut sinesten emaitza desberdinak edozein izango litzateke.

Beraz, non ez utzi Rousey? Nire iritziz, zuen garbitu egin ditu UFC Emakumeen bantamweight zatiketa. Ez dago inor sinesgarriak mehatxu planteatzen duten bere. Zingano bere estrategia egokitu da eta jaurtiketa bat jasotzen Rousey bada, berak irabazi aukera bat izan dezake. Haratago, Rousey irtengo gainean eta bere film karrera burgeoning gainean eraikitzeko erabaki bada, Ez dut uste inork eutsi litzateke aurka bere.

Rousey da gaur run batean Anderson Silva en exekuzio UFC middleweight zatiketa gainean Akin. Denek nagusi zuen bere bidea eta Chael Sonnen bere lehen borroka izan ezik, Made Erraza itxura. Rousey data borroka gogorrena Liz Carmouche aurka izan zen, denean Rousey izan zuen atzeko biluzik choke batean beraien borrokaren lehen txandan 2013 Rousey eta ihes armbar beste garaipen bat ziurtatzeko gai izan zen aurretik.

Silva agintaldian middleweight zatiketa gainean bukatu zen denean aldez aurretik ezezaguna Chris Weidman zen batera eta beldurrik gabe erakutsi eta borrokan hartu Silva. Agian hori da Rousey gertatuko behar. Aurkari bat bere aurpegia eskubidea nork lortuko aurkitu behar du, hiruhilekoan ez eman bere eta borrokan hartu zion. Orratz duten UFC saiatu 184, baina bere overzealousness azkenean bere balio duten dearly.

Arte Rousey aurkitzen bere Chris Weidman egin, beste superlative gehitu askok duten emakumeen bantamweight txapeldun dagoeneko erantsita ahal izango dugu: garbitzailea. Rousey merezi challengers kanpo fresko bere koroa da, Zeregin bat bere zatiketa garbiketa lortzen zuen.

Dana White and the Women


Argazkia Kreditu: Esther Lin / MMA Fighting

Larunbata, Feb. 28, is going to be a landmark day for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. All the fighters on the pay-per-view card that day will pass their pre-fight drug…….never mind. That’s too easy.

That day will be the first time a UFC card features women’s bouts in both its co-main event and main event. After middleweight champion Chris Weidman was forced to withdraw from his fight against Vitor Belfort due to injury, the new main event at UFC 184 is Ronda Rousey defending her women’s bantamweight belt against Cat Zingano. Co-nagusia gertatuz gero, much-heralded prospect Holly Holm will make her UFC debut against Raquel Pennington in another women’s bantamweight fight.

As I’ve mentioned before, UFC has come a long way from when Dana White told TMZ that women would “never” fight in his organization. Rousey will main event her third consecutive February PPV and Holm is widely believed to be the next in line for a shot at the title, should she defeat Pennington. Holm is still very raw in mixed martial arts, but trains with the world renowned coaches Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn.

Rousey is carrying the flag for women’s MMA and for women in the UFC. Other female fighters have followed her into the Octagon, including Miesha Tate, Liz Carmouche and Alexis Davis. What do those three have in common? They all also fell to Rousey – Tate twice in Strikeforce and the UFC, and Carmouche and Davis both in the first round at UFC PPVs in 2013 eta 2014, hurrenez hurren.

Rousey and Tate’s feud is well-chronicled. It led to the two being coaches on The Ultimate Fighter, which included female fighters for the very first time who greatly outshined their male counterparts on the show that season.

Given that season’s success, the most recent season of The Ultimate Fighter featured ALL female fighters and the debut of the UFC’s newest division, women’s strawweight. Carla Esparza, the former Invicta FC strawweight champion, won the inaugural UFC version of that belt after defeating Rose Namajunas.

So in the span of four years, UFC goes from having no female fighters and White emphatically stating that it never will, to being home to TWO female weight classes and undoubtedly the promotion’s biggest star right now in Rousey. Don’t believe me? Did you see the third Expendables movie? Or do you plan on seeing the film version of Entourage this summer? You might notice a familiar face.

So where does women’s MMA go from here? I am personally a big fan of female fights, as they tend to be among the more entertaining and action-packed fights on a UFC card. As I previously stated, female fighters are more than capable of outshining their male contemporaries. Why is that? Maybe female fighters feel they have more to prove inside the Octagon and always go for broke. Maybe they go into the Octagon with more of a “go for broke” mentality and actively seek a finish as opposed to “playing it safe.”

The fight between Rousey and Zingano on Feb. 28 will also go a long way toward determining the future of women’s MMA. Should Rousey defeat Zingano – which all signs indicate she will – she will have essentially cleaned out her division, with only unknown challengers like Holm and Bethe Correia left. If Zingano pulls the upset, then the division has a fresh batch of exciting matchups waiting.

But who knows what would have happened if Dana White kept his promise to TMZ?
