Cat Zingano next in line to face the UFC Women’s Batamweight champion?

20140525-142949.jpg

UFC president Dana White is very adamant that the returning Cat Zingano is still #1 contender for the UFC Women’s Batamweight championship. However he also feels that before she faces the champ (weather it be Rousey or Davis) she should have a tune up fight first. It should be noted that Sarah Kaufman has been lobbying for a bout with Zingano for quite some time.

Carano has been out of action for over a year. Her last fight was against Miesha Tate at the TUF17 final. Zingano won that fight via TKO earning her the #1 contender spot and a spot on TUF18. However an ACL injury pulled her out of those opportunities only to be replaced by Miesha Tate.

Dana White expressed some concern after Zingano lost her husband earlier this year, but now he says he’s glad she’s in a good enough place to focus on fighting again. (You can check out Dana White’s comments here)

Even though the next contender for the title is unclear one can agree that wether it be Rousey vs Zingano or Davis vs Zingano it should be one hell of a fight. I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say Zingano’s return to the octagon will be one of the most anticipate in a long time.

Who is “Good O’l JR’s favorite fighter in the UFC?

20140524-154034.jpg

Once again the name Ronda Rousey has been dropped by someone in the world of professional wresting. Who is it this time you ask? None other then one of the very best color commentators of all time. Jim Ross. JR appeared on an episode of “UFC Tonight” this week and when asked by interviewer Kenny Florian who his favorite fighter was, Ross responded “Ronda Rousey” with no hesitation. He then went on to say that whenever the topic of fighting is brought up so is Rousey’s name. He also gave his predictions for tonight’s UFC173 event. (You can check out the full interview here)

Like I’ve said before with all this talk of the UFC women’s Batemweight champion among people closely related to WWE and fans alike, I’m willing to bet it’ll only be a matter of time before we see the undefeated champ Ronda Rousey on a WWE televised event. Anyone would be a fool not to book her

WWE’s Divas champ thinks Ronda Rousey is bad ass?

20140520-125758.jpg

Seems like there’s a lot of love for UFC’s women’s Batemweight champion Ronda Rousey in the world of Pro wrestling. Natalya, Brie Bella, and Eva Marie are all known fans. Even former WWE Diva Eve Torres is a friend/fan of the champ.

This shouldn’t surprise anyone though. After all Ronda’s nickname “Rowdy” was chosen because of her admiration of the Hotrod. Not to mention the hotrod himself gave her permission to use the name. Lets not forget the creation of the 4Horsewomen was a way to emulate and pay respect to the original 4Horsemen.

No wonder why the superstars and Divas have gotten behind her. The most recent diva to utter the name Ronda Rousey is the beloved WWE Divas champion Paige. When asked if she could face anyone, (doesn’t have to be a wrestler) who would it be? Her response? None other then the top female in the UFC Ronda Rousey. Paige’s reasoning? “because she’s a bad ass”
(Check out the rest of Paige’s interview here)

I don’t know about you but all this talk about Ronda Rousey and the obvious love the WWE employs have for her don’t you think it would be a smart move for WWE to book these ladies on a slow? That has to be best for business right? Lets not forget that Rousey has already expressed interest in appearing for the WWE but only if the rest of the 4Horsewomen can come with. To that I say why not? Clearly it would generate money and ratings. Further more its clear that WWE divas and superstars would be game for a WWE/UFC pairing. The only thing that needs to happen now is Vince McMahon (Maybe even Triple H) need to sit down with Dana White and make some sort of deal. It should be noted that next years wrestlemania is going to be held in California and that’s where the 4Horsewomen live. I’m sure I speak for many fans when I say I would love to see this happen!

COME ON WWE/UFC MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Chuck “iceman” Liddell says Ronda Rousey is paving the way for his daughter

20140423-142330.jpg

Yesterday at LAX former UFC star chuck “Iceman” Liddell was stopped by tmz to get his comments on what president Dana White Said about Rounda Rousey being the female chuck Liddell. Dana had made those comments simply because he believes that Rousey will fight anybody any place at anytime just like Liddell use to do. Liddell was actually flattered by the comments and couldn’t agree more. Liddell not only referred to Rousey as a great athlete but he went even further to say “she’s paving the way for my daughter”. Although with his daughter being only two it could be awhile before we see another Liddell in the octagon.
You can check out the full article here: http://m.tmz.com/#Article/2014/04/23/chuck-liddell-ronda-rousey-paving-the-way-video-dana-white

These kind of comments are what warm my heart because so often the media likes to portray Rousey in a negative light due to her confident and very blunt and honest attitude. The fact of that matter is though if it wasn’t for “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey there would be no women in the UFC and WMMA wouldn’t finally be getting the recognition it deserves, so in my opinion Rousey deserves all the success and more.

What do you think? Do you agree or disagree with me Liddell and white? Feel free to leave your comments. Lets discuss

Gina Carano possibly signing with UFC

Gina Carano is arguably one of the best in WMMA. She’s one of the women that took WMMA off the ground and got people to notice. She’s also one of the first WMMA stars to pursue an acting career outside of fighting. (And now Rousey Is following in those footsteps thus creating a path of her own) It’s been 5 years since we’ve seen Carano in an octagon surrounded by the cage. Could it be that we may not have to wait much longer? (Check out Dana Whites thoughts on that possibility here)
http://www.ibtimes.com/will-gina-carano-sign-ufc-dana-white-very-confident-return-talks-possible-fight-ronda-1573114

A dream fight that everyone wants to see is Carano vs Rousey. Two very high profile names squaring off against each other has to be good for business. In fact it sounds so good that the champ Ronda Rousey is even willing to fight in Gina’s weight class of 145. It should also be noted that Rousey has high respect for Carano. Carano on the other hand has one gol in mind and that’s to get back where she belongs and possibly become champ. It doesn’t matter if its Rousey or Davis. She just wants to fight.
So what’s next for Carano? Only time will tell

Cat Zingano Status

It was announced 6 days ago that UFC Women’s Battemweight Champion Ronda Rousey will be defending her title at UFC175 live on P.P.V. July 5th during international fight week against Invicta veteran Alexis Davis. Davis’ last victory against Jessica Eye at UFC170 indeed put her in title contention, but some fans had the question what about Zingano?
Yes what about Zingano? Cat Zingano earned the spot to be number 1 contender for the title last year when she knocked out Miesha Tate? So why hasn’t she got her shot?
As some of you may or may not know Zingano tore her ACL and had to back out of the fight. Not only that but the tragic death of her husband and training partner set her back as well. It’s been a tough year for Zingano indeed.
Yesterday at the TUF nations final press conference Dana White Stated that Zingano won’t be back anytime soon but she still has her spot to fight Rousey (you can read more of the article here) http://msn.foxsports.com/ufc/story/dana-white-cat-zingano-still-going-to-be-out-awhile-041614

With all this being said my prayers will be with Zingano and I know I speak for a lot of people when I say I can’t wait to see her back in the octagon. The fight between her and Rousey should be a site to see.

Do you guys think Davis was a good choice to step up against Rousey? Let me know, I for one can’t wait to see these two square off. I’m a fan of both but of corse my heart is with Rousey.

What’s next for Ronda Rousey?

20140412-133350.jpg

Other then Cyborg vs Rousey, Rousey vs Carano has been a dream fight for many WMMA fans for quite sometime. yesterday this article surfaced online discussing the possibility of this fight http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2014/0411/573081/would-ronda-rousey-give-gina-carano-a-title-shot/

Rousey has went on record saying she would love to fight Carano. Rousey has a huge amount of respect for Carano and rightfully so because Carano had a dominating career in strikeforce and is indeed a pioneer for WMMA.
Although the women’s BATEMWEIGHT champion is completely game for this fight there’s a few contributing factors as to why it won’t happen. The most notable one is that Carano fights in a catch weight class a totally different class then the champ which means the title would NOT be on the line. Another argument would be that Carano hasn’t been in a cage in the last 5 years.
So what do you guys think? Is this a fight we will see in the future?

It should also be noted that yesterday it was announced that Rousey’s next bout will take place at UFC175 on Saturday July 5th against Alexis Davis.
What do you guys think about this bout. I for one am very excited.
