Ronda Rousey injuries.
Don’t let the headline scare you. Rousey did indeed sustain injuries last night in her title defense against Alexis Davis but nothing to serious. The 1st being a hand injury. Apparently Rousey has been working with this injury for quite sometime. She’s had it ever since before her fight with Sarah Mcmann in February. Rousey says in her last two fight camps she kept ripping her knuckle open and she wrapped it up dismissing it as nothing serious. She admits she should’ve taken it more seriously because the ripping of the knuckles eventually became a cyst. With the punches she landed on Davis the cyst popped requiring the champ to get 9 stitches. Rousey now says she hopes the cyst is gone now but will be going to the doctor to get it checked out
The 2nd injury isn’t a injury rather then a precautionary measure After years of combat she’s going to get her knee scoped out. She says its nothing serious but it’s more of maitnence she needs to be doing. In a post fight interview last night she says she expects to be out for four weeks. She also had this to say about her injuries. “It’s my right hand and my right knee. It’s cool I’m left handed anyway”

Rousey vs Davis (in photos)
The co main event last night at UFC175 featured the undefeated UFC women’s Batemweight champion Ronda Rousey defending her title against challenger Alexis Davis. Now for this fight I hope nobody went to use the restroom or went to get snacks because by the time you would’ve gotten back to your tv it would’ve been over. In fact the walk out entrances were longer then the actual fight itself! The fight lasted all of 16 secs! With Rousey picking up the win via TKO. This is Rousey’s 2nd TKO win of her career and the fastest bout she’s ever had while competing in the UFC. I will be doing another post later about UFC175 as a whole but for now please enjoy these pictures of Rousey vs Davis
Rousey vs Cyborg?? Will we EVER see it
The war of words continues between women’s batemweight champion Ronda Rousey and Chris cyborg. This week in a media lunch in to promote UFC175 when asked about a potential fight with chis cyborg the champ had some choice words to say about Cyborg. She said: “if cyborg wants to get her ass beat she knows where I’m at”
You can check out what else she had to say about the potential fight here via Pro MMA Now http://prommanow.com/2014/06/28/rousey-if-cyborg-wants-to-come-get-her-ass-beat-she-knows-where-im-at/
You guys may recall that cyborg left the UFC only 24 hours after they announced random out of completion drug testing. Cyborg even tested positive for steroid usage when she was in strikeforce. Cyborg has also said it could be potentially life threatening for her to drop from 145 to 135.
Now let me just say this if its soooo dangerous why does she keep running her mouth about Rousey.. Even to an extent where she called herself a horse tamer and wore a shirt that said “Ronda Rousey is my bitch”
Love Rousey or hate her it doesn’t change the fact that she’s the champion! She shouldn’t have to move up in a weight class for ANYONE. If cyborg truly wants Rousey she should be the one making the effort and stop making excuses.
Rousey is set to defend her title against Alexis Davis this Saturday on July 5th at UFC 175 against well rounded challenger and veteran Alexis Davis. As far as cyborg goes she currently has a contract with Invicta FC and with the recent deal that invicta landed with UFC fight pass one can assume its only a matter of time before we see cyborg in the octagon again.
What do you guys think? Is this still a fight you’re interested in or are you over this war of words?

What’s next for Rousey after UFC 175?
Ronda Rousey has been one of the fastest rising stars ever since she made her UFC debut in 2011 when she defeated Liz Carmouche. Ever since then it’s pretty much been a non stop ride for the champ. What’s next you may ask? Well according to “Rowdy” she wants to take a break. You can read the article here http://www.mmaweekly.com/ronda-rousey-planning-to-take-a-break-following-ufc-175
Not sure if you remember but Rousey had scheduled a vacation/cruise but those plans came to a holt when she was offered to fight Sara Mcmann. That being said I think it’s safe to say the women’s batemweight champion deserves a break don’t you think?
Before that though she has to face her next challenger Alexis Davis in the co main event of UFC175 on July 5th
Oh and never fear guys because Rousey has said it won’t be some type of hiatus break. When she says break she means “probably like a month”
