    Absolutely hilarious group of people.
    Off in your own world again.... I don't see anything in this thread that relates to Floyd fans. Do you refer to educated boxing fans as Floyd fans?


    The pic made me roll me eyes because, though I liked Rousey a few years ago, she gets too much hype for dominating an empty division. She won't even compromise 5lbs to fight the woman who has truly dominated WMMA.
    But, the caption was just insulting to anyone who knows a damn thing about boxing or striking in general.

      What? She is not a man? WTF? Rondel Rousy right?
      Great grappling skills, poor boxing skills. Right?
      Same dude right?

        I don't know. Other than his fans hate Ronda Rousey for no other reason than her calling him out on his bs.

          Just floyd fanboys.

          Why is it insulting? Ring Magazine have pretty much used the same 5 fighters for covers in the last 5 years every month. It's refreshing to see someone new, and also, coming from the media industry, I realize magazines have to sell, which Rousey does. She's one of the biggest combat stars in the world right now - man or female.

          Absolutely no issue with a cover at all.

          And also, in what world has Ronda Rousey not dominated WMMA? In the UFC she has fought and beat something like 8/10 current top 10 bantamweights with ease.

          She's the biggest draw of the UCF, why the hell should she drop down in weight?

            Her stand up ha definitely improved but her lack of head movement will get her knocked out.

              I'll agree with you about Ring covers being very tired.

              Regarding Rousey, she's baited Chris Cyborg for a couple years now but refuses to even meet her half way on weight. She wants Cyborg to drain 10 full lbs, on a woman who already has trouble making weight. When you taunt someone and refuse to make any effort to create a fair fight, it's a cheap ass duck. The ufc and it's cooperative media outlets make no effort to be truthful regarding the subject so if you haven't heard about it, I don't hold that against you at all.

                Isn't Cyborg fighting at 140 next? I would imagine that fight happens regardless, because both girls could make more against each other than fighting everyone else twice over.

                I don't know other than what i've read about the two calling each other out and whatever, but I would imagine that fight could happen.

                  What bs? You mean the fact she called him out on domestic violence, yet dates a guy accused of the same charges by his wife?

                      Blame capitalism I guess, she sells right now.

                      That said, if you're walking past the magazine stand you might not immediately recognise it as a boxing magazine if Rousey in on the front of a black cover.

                      I dunno, it is a boxing magazine and she's not a boxer.

                      Even a Rugby Union magazine wouldn't put a Rugby League player on the front and they're a similar game.

                      Residual Flomos are the pits though I agree.
