Maybe I just remember that scene above too much. The fact that she's accepted this fight makes me think she likes her matchup, which I don't see. Maybe its just Edmond giving her more bad advice.
Hoping Nunes plus money, realistically hoping for Nunes -115, thinking it will be Nunes -135+.
Does Rousey still have a betting fanbase? Is she in the "no one believes in me" role now??? Do I need to reevaluate this?

a little pissed that I could have seen this fight live in Vegas. As I had plans on going to LV because I was invited there for New Years Eve to see Maroon 5
The Plan was going to be , go Dec 29th and stay until the 2nd or 3rd
But that was changed to Billy Joel down in FL.
Oh well, could have been a Great Vegas trip

Really? Do you like Rousey here? I'm not impressed with Tate as a fighter anyways, so Nunes destroying her is just what I expected. I think Rousey just doesn't like getting punched in the face and when Plan A doesn't work she's has no fallback. Obviously, she's been "training extensively" but I don't trust her training either. Travis Brown has regressed since Edmond. Nunes' from a real team with real training. Hell, I think she could give Cyborg a run.
And lastly, I would take Billy Joel over Maroon 5 everyday of the week...too bad it's in Florida though I guess.
Well you asked about Rousey's fan Base ... Nobody really knows who Nunes is ... they didn't even know who Tate was or Holms
RR was the Face of Women's MMA, and now with doing Movies, etc ... Yeah she still has a Fan Base
So just by Name she will be favorite in this match.
*** I've seen billy Joel probably 30+ times .. Last year also down in Florida he played for over 3 Hours on New Years
Howard Stern, Kevin james and a few others came on stage with him. It was a Blast...
Maroon 5 I have only seen twice over the years. Thought it would be a fun event for New Years
This entire set up is a joke
No way does Rousey deserve a title shot. That fight should have been awarded to Pena.
Rousey got smoked / embarrassed then goes running and hiding. Pena beat Cat / Eye ... won TUF and is 7-0 in the UFC.
I understand money talks but what Dana has done with Conor and Ronda is sickening ... Can't stand the fact those 2 brats get whatever they want all the time.
My prediction is Rousey wins the belt, retires. This way she leaves Champ / hero and totally dodges Cyborg ...
Fat Dana said if Rousey wins she is def fighting Cyborg ... I highly doubt it. You cant believe a word that come out of his mouth.
In a "legit" fight at 140 ... Cyborg would murder Rousey

Yeah, got busy and forgot I was following 5d's. Ended up with +190 for a couple bites. Down to +165 5D (which is the worst Nunes line of shops hanging them) this morning and took another. Maybe I am just influenced by Rousey's last fight too much, but NO WAY did I expect Rousey to open -300. Ridiculous. But guess they do expect to get hammered before fight time on Rousey and have to give away gift odds on Nunes early....or maybe I' completely wrong here. I don't think so.
As far as deserving a shot...It's the business move to make. She is still the biggest name in women's MMA. If they give her a warm up fight and she loses...yet another money fight is lost. Same reason Dana White wanted HH to wait for Rousey. She lost next one out and no one gives a shit anymore about Holly.

This will be a fixed match. Money will poor in on Nunes nice odds because of the fact that Rousey hasn't fought in ages. But the fan popular Rousey has to win gives UFC huge exposure with headline news...bitch comes back and takes by a storm and other headlines.
Her getting the title shot is complete PR move by UFC and they will make sure she wins too. If she loses this match, women UFC interest will be down big time. Now with her huge fan base from outside stuff, if she wins big exposure for ufc.
i feel sorry for the poor souls who are betting on Nunes thinking the odds are gift.

I agree that if Ronda didn't feel this was a good matchup for her she wouldn't be returning. I just think her and her team are wrong about that. As far UFC not allowing her to lose...if that was the case she wouldn't have lost to the one-dimensional Holly Holm. Ronda may very well arm bar Nunes in the first minute...but take off the tin foil hat. A Brazilian as champ isn't bad for business (not nearly as good as an attractive blonde American, but...)
UFC was "dead" when Chuck Lidell lost, then when Silva lost two straight, then when GSP retired, then when Ronda and Connor lost within months of each other. They will create a new star. They already have their marketing mitts on Paige Van Zant...unfortunately she'll be mauled by a number of 115'ers.

Pretty much everytime someone says UFC is rigged, the opposite result of that happens. It has happened for awhile, there is just no evidence to it.
Ronda and Conor would both be undefeated if it was rigged. Hell, Brock Lesnar would STILL be the HW champ.
I'm not the biggest Nunez fan though. She lost to Cat fairly easily, who Ronda took out in like 10 seconds.
Ronda's striking is not good but people atleast need to acknowledge the insane amount of commitments she had in her life at that time. Becoming an overnight star. At the very least, she will probably be focused on MMA in her return.
