Very satisfying to watch. I hope the media was also relentless in the post-fight interview.

There are so many of those douchebags around that they could put together a fun reel of them all getting knocked out.

Lots of people saying the fight was fixed. Neither even threw a punch. Rousey dove for a takedown and quickly locked in an arm bar.

I know Carano dropped 100 pounds for this fight, but she wasn't ready for that move?

Brought to you by the same promotion that has produced all the other recent suspect fights, mostly involving Jake Paul.

Age and out of practice maybe? Post fight emotion sells the realism of the fight as well. But also, post fight emotion maybe shows that the 'anger' wasn't there, so maybe didn't give 100% Didn't want to 'kill' her? I think friends will fight differently than people that can't stand each other.

You are 100% correct. They are legit friends, and there was absolutely zero animosity or a reason to win as they both got paid the same regardless of outcome.

I, personally, don't think the fight was fixed, but I do think Gina just didn't give a shit enough to put up a huge fight. I also don't think either woman was seeking to hurt the other.

Let's be honest, she already won. She beat Disney in court, got a huge payday for this fight, and dropped over 100 pounds.
