Ronda is a world class athlete that's spent years training against men. She'd body pretty much all of us because THAT'S WHAT SHE DOES FOR A LIVING.

Davidson was a dude who played for Duke, but rarely ever came off the bench. He was 6'1, limited athleticism, limited length. He mostly made the team, if I recall, because he was good friends with Luol in HS.

He'd go to the gym and play 21 against the dudes who played IM hoops at Duke on weekends during the offseason for fun.

Now, when Davidson came off the bench in games on TV, he looked like a fucking scrub. So every dude bigger, taller, longer, and more athletic than him wanted a piece.

And Davidson, to put it mildly, would dominate. He'd go against dudes who are 6'6, who had 40 pounds on him, and just crush them in every way-- including in the paint and on the boards.

The level of skill it takes to even be a bum in college ball... is insanely high. You have to play every day, train every day, be terrific every day... just to be a *bum.*

So whenever any dude who hasn't been fighting every day for the past several years says he can beat Rousey? You just have to laugh and shake your head.

take a punch? I've seen videos of her grappling with men but a full blown fight would be a bit different.

They have weight classes in fighting for a reason

>They have weight classes in fighting for a reason

She's taken punches from men before because of a lack of female MMA training partners.

You guys are forgetting her conditioning. Everyone's maximum conditioning is less than one fourth of hers because she does this for a living. She spends Peyton Manning time training against far superior opponents so imagine what happens if she ever had to encounter one of us on the street.

the women have to do everything with the men. They condition, roll, and spar with men. I have seen it first hand. They will light spar with guys out of their weight class. They will go all out against guys closer to their weight class.

because a normal sized dude could hurt her bad with one punch?

where a "regular sized" guy fells ronda rousey with one punch

or more about all of this gym experience you have with male fighters who go "all out" with fighters way out of their weight class

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

with considerably less experience use jiu jitsu against someone bigger than them in an actual fight. twice.


also, many. you don't know me.

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

and I talk a ton of shit.

he really thinks no one's ever fought me?

*average height these days, I grew in college

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

my older brother did. He is a year older than me but hasnt been taller than me since I was 4 years old. In school he was always the short one in class. We both got in a lot of fights when we lived in the hood. Then we moved to the burbs and people stopped testing me. But not him. In HS he was just angry all the time. My freshman year I was 6'3" and he was 5'3". We hated each other because he was constantly angry. He went to the army and grew 6 inches to average height at age 21. But he ended up getting discharged from the Army for fighting. He said he got into several fights with other soldiers and several off base. We talked about it not that long ago and he said he couldnt just walk away from fights like I can because of his size. He said you could walk away from fights and nobody will call you on it or try and test you later because you are weak. But me I had to fight or else they are going to try and fuck with me the next time and the next time. So basically I found out that being short is like being in prison.

I realized I had to chill in college, because I was still in that mental state of being ready to go all the time just so people wouldn't fuck with me.

I guarantee they would have you on your ass with the quickness.

>I guarantee they would have you on your ass with the
>quickness.

I won't dispute that but do they have the same knockout power as a heavyweight? or even a middleweight?

Can they be knocked down/out easier than fighters of those sizes?

damn you are delusional as shit

a 125 lb professional boxer might as well be a heavyweight against a normal guy off the street. Both with their ability to take a punch and their ability to give out punishment. Size goes out the window when you have that much of a disparity in skill.

and slam her on her head....even if she didn't have the power to knock me out with a punch.....what she can do to an exposed leg arm or neck. ....i'd have to knock her out fast...cause she's fast and squirmy


"If you wanna help us, fine. Sit down with your kids and make 'em study at night...otherwise, shoot THIS mothaf*cka!" (c) Morgan Freeman,

because she is going to trip or throw you and then go for whatever exposed limb

to my advantage. and i said her head cause that's the one true way of sopping a person.. u slam them on anything else, they m
ay stop or they may keep going.......no one gets right back up after a stinger lol

"If you wanna help us, fine. Sit down with your kids and make 'em study at night...otherwise, shoot THIS mothaf*cka!" (c) Morgan Freeman,

You know what all combat sports need in order to exist? Weight limits. A large enough man could pose a problem for any fighter Ronda's size by virtue of size advantage. If there's a 6'5 300 pounder responding to this poll your options are moot.

Ronda is the GOAT woman fighter and is amazing to watch. The people who need to compare her to men are minimizing her achievements as much as the sexist idiots.

lol

Sure, professional male fighters who train constantly can probably beat Rousey. Of course.

But regular-ass, relatively-in-shape dudes with a size advantage over Rousey aren't fucking beating Rousey. Not even the pretty-athletic, practice-fighting-a-couple-times-a-month dudes with a size advantage.

Size advantage <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< training advantage, skill advantage, IQ advantage, etc.

with some decent hands could put her to sleep, (no misogyny-o)

and yeah I know she has videos tossing dudes around in sparring sessions but that ain't the same as a real fight

And 95% of the people in this post will agree with me.

Maybe that's overhyping. 90-92%. That seems more fair.

Average sized dude turns into Ronda's training dummy.

both have athletic/ fighting experience, both or at least rob said he'd lose.


Good enough for me. I started bjj but Ronda has rolled well vs guys much more skilled than me. I also know that a technical smaller bjj person whose better than me can easily roll through me now.

like maybe she could kick my ass, maybe she couldn't. I've got 100 pounds on her that belong to someone that knows how to use them, much more power, and much quicker hands. The competitive male MMA fighters I have sparred with over the years have had a really hard time taking me down(Texas based guys in the 205, 185, and 170 pound classes that used me as an athletic and strong guy to beat on and try to throw around, all of which would definitely beat my ass, but these are top tier dudes).

I would be horrified to end up on the ground in any sort of scramble with her, something on me is definitely getting broken.

I'm a feminist so I'd find no shame whatsoever at possibly the toughest, most skilled woman in the world beating me at something that isn't my life's work.

You have a response that is measured, thoughtful, and not dismissive and/or stupid. Good work.

anyone not d-end sized and athletic or a competitive level fighter should at least be non-dismissive about her being able to kick their ass, and most regular dudes would just simply get mopped by her. I'm pretty close to the top of the food chain when it comes to combat related stuff, but not quite at the top, and I wouldn't fancy a tussle with her at all.

I have spent more time in an mma gym than 90% of the people on the boards. I have hit pads, I have rolled, and have done light sparring. She wouldnt KO me with one punch. But she would have me on my ass with a barrage of punches. I could probably last on the ground longer than most just because of my size and strength advantage. But I will be sucking wind while she is barely breaking a sweat. Can I punch harder than her? Yes. But she trains her body to take punishment every day. Me not so much. I get hit in the face a few times and I am definitely going to panic and do something stupid. The biggest part of fighting that people dont understand is training your body to take punishment. Learning to stay in the pocket and exchange trade when you are punched in the face. Learned to not turn away after being punched. Little by little your body is able to absorb more and more punishment. A good jab from most professional fighters would put the average man on their ass. I wont even get into reaction time. They have the muscle memory to fire off a counter to your punch before you have even landed it. They know to slip or duck your punch when your shoulder moves. They dont even have to think anymore. Their body just reacts.

tl;dr
people are full of shit and dont know what they are talking about.

begin with
with plenty of idiots on both sides of the argument judging by that thread
that being said if you thought you could beat her originally i'm not sure anything recent would change your mind

now it's ground and pound. Or try to break a fuckin limb on someone smh


Yes of course most men would lose in a fight like that


Do these kids fight like that now?


I have no idea because I came from the sweet science generation

Idiocy that never ends.

someone was getting tackled or thrown to the ground. Kicked in the face or even stomped.

I've seen tons of fights go to the ground. either someone gets knocked down and jumped on or someone gets tackled and the fight continues.

Probably cycling and soccer too

in a fight, or she can beat you in Madden?

I haven't put hundreds of hours into fight training

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

let's be honest here ... there's nothing that you can beat any pro female athlete at. just being a man won't help you one bit.

Serena Williams
Skylar Diggins
Alex Morgan
Ronda Rousey

it doesn't matter, you're not seeing any of them at their sport.

how about a Div. 1 NCCA female? top high school recruit?


I once played in a pick up game with a former UNC women's basketball player (no I don't remember her name, this was like 20 years ago). she had been out of college for a while. if I remember correctly she never went pro cuz she got hurt. anyway, she was the only female on the court with 9 other guys. she SMOKED us! she wasn't missing anything the whole time.

when we were in high school in the 90's (I grew up in Newport News) there was a girl named Lakeisha Frett who was like the top female in Virginia at the time. we used to play pick up ball with her all the time. she was NASTY on the court. she would embarrass fool regularly. she went on the play pro before the WNBA got started and then some early WNBA ball. she wasn't even elite in the pros and she was wreck us.


and you think "a lot" of dudes could beat Skylar. you are a clown of the highest order my dude.

I'm sensing a pattern here...

a lot of dudes that played college ball?

or alot of dudes balling in the park right now?

didnt you know? we are in the midst of some world class athletes

if you post on OKP, I need actual proof you don't get sweaty and out of breath walking up a flight of stairs before I believe otherwise

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

I'm done

When I was frosh/soph in college, I used to play in a VERY competitive run at the Y. One or two former college athletes. One future college athlete, and a bunch of dudes who had been pretty good HS players.

One of the women who worked there was a former Olympian, and she'd play with us from time to time. While she had the best fundamental skills on the floor, her strength and athleticism put her in the bottom half of players out there.

EDIT: To clarify, this was the kind of run where 4-5 different guys might dunk in the same game. Not your standard YMCA.

That's what your story sounds like. Guys who played DI/DII.

I could believe that. Sure. They have the countless hours of training over the years, they have the knowledge of the game, *and* they have the size and strength. Sure. I'd buy that.

But that's obviously worlds away from what he said. I *am* the average dude at the Y, lol. And I've played against Duke college hoops women players before. And I, like the other bigger, stronger, faster dudes I would play with, got crushed by them.

To beat a player like Skylar, size and strength aren't remotely enough. Not by a longshot.

see USWNT for example.

I've played with female college players, I've played with WNBA players. I've played with DII male players on my team, I've played with dudes with size advantages who played in HS on my team. My experience may be anecdotal, but at least I'm not basing my posts on conjecture here.

I believe a top high school prospect with a DI college career ahead of him could. Sure. As I said, if you play DI ball, you're probably good enough fundamentally that your size and strength advantage would take over.

An average high school player, even one with size, wouldn't have a prayer, unless she was playing on a broken ankle or some shit.

I don't know anything about USWNT, but if they lost to a HS men's team, I'd be willing to guess that was a national HS team with the top HS players in the country. Which, again, isn't remotely the same argument that ThaTruth was making.

Relative to your workday, when did you go hard, before or after? Was anyone in your league a former member of the military, and if so, what branch? How many Excel spreadsheets did your league have to keep track of stats?

I have The Marine over both Rousey and Griner

a few guys in this summer program played a picked up games vs members of the girls college basketball team. They beat us 16-15 going by ones & had a substantial size advantage (2 girls over 6'4").

It would be interesting to see a pickup game of WNBA players vs a team of semi-skilled guys..

=======================================

he was wrong.

average dude off the street but a lot of dudes who are over 6ft with some athleticism and basketball skills that play regularly could give Skylar Diggins the business. She's what? 5'8"-5'9"? Back her down in the post and what is she going to do?

There are, any given year, roughly 27,710 female college basketball players.
There are, any given year, 180 WNBA players.

You have to be in the top .6% of NCAAWBB to get to the WNBA. And, realistically, the percentage is smaller than that, because those 180 players are gathered from the best of college every year over a period of time. It's probably closer to, at any given time, .2-.3%.

And dude above said that the average guy at the Y can beat Skylar Diggins.

She could definitely play but she wasn't a standout.. she was just like any of the other guys playing in the game. That's not to say she wasn't more skilled overall in some areas but the difference in the athleticism negates a lot of that.

'Cause, ya know, it's the Y. They're not getting paid for it. So most play half speed and don't take it too seriously (lest they get injured over some dumb shit).

The last time I maliciously threw a punch at someone I was as a 13 y/o in 1994, and I knocked that dude the fuck out in one punch. I am sure that I have not lost my one-hitter-quitter power potential.

Therefore I postulate if I was able to sucker punch Rousey before she realizes we were even fighting, landing that shot in the perfect spot on her temple I stand like a 0.1375% chance of beating her. That or if I had some sort of malice weapon that I could keep her at a distance because if she gets within striking radius, it's curtains.

I think an even better fight clip to prove a point is the one of Roger Huerta knocking our a college football player in a brawl. Huerta fought in the UFC at 155. Good hands but not much else. Entertaining as shit. He probably walks around at 170. College football linebacker Rashad Bobino who weighed 230 lbs. Bobino is in a hell of a lot better shape than anyone in here claiming they can take Rousey. He is an ELITE athlete in a PHYSICAL sport. He got KO's by a guy who he outweighs by 60 lbs. Roger Huerta never even made a serious run at the belt. He strung together some entertaining wins and bounced from the UFC to chase the money and never won a belt in any organization. He is a middle of the road to bottom of the barrel fighter who beat the shit out of an elite athlete. Dont come at me with the he is a man and she is a woman bit. They both train the same amount of hours in the gym with the same sized men. She definitely doesnt have his stand up. But you definitely arent a 230 lb elite athlete.

.

But you'll ignore this, per usual.

I just have to outlast her. that's easy.








just kidding. she'd whoop my ass and disfigure me.

Anybody who can box like a man can whoop this little broad


Provided you are least 6'0 and not slam able.

rousey lost to another professional fighter, not some schmuck on the street.

This pretty much just shows the list of women who could probably kill me with their bare hands extends well into ladies who aren't internationally famous.

She dissed Floyd and was proven to be a hypocrite. Holly Larson already knocked her out when she tried boxing the first time. She was a poor sport after the loss. Finally, she's a Sandy Hook truther. YEAH, I'M PARTYING JUST LIKE I WOULD IF ANYONE ELSE TALKED SHIT ABOUT PBF AND GOT KNOCKED OUT.

*EDIT*

She'd whoop all (with the exception of Vex, possibly?) our asses. Fuck all that she still got knocked out by a world class boxer. Joanna Joanna Jedrzejczyk would work her as well.

*reheats grill and hands out ribs, chicken, and beer to everyone in this post*

I was laughing last night when he had that halfhearted smile on his face last night.

I wonder how she's going to react when she eventually returns to the limelight and sees all the celebs going at her on social media. Lady Gaga of all people chimed in on the loss.

Even in her current fragile losing-to-pros-in-under-a-minute mind state.

Especially since you're the person who thinks a lot of average dudes can beat Skylar Diggins in basketball.

(C)Keith Murray, "

I never argued that she'd beat professional boxers or whatever the peak cysage by others was. I was just always flabbergasted by dudes posting from home with chip crumbs on their bellies that they could beat up Rousey solely because she's a girl.

Even in her current state, if she was fighting anyone from OKP, with the exception of the one or two dudes that I know are constantly in training (who said above they wouldn't want to fight Rousey!), I'd bet on Rousey. I don't think that's some wild claim. I think that's betting on someone who trains professionally full-time over someone who doesn't. I think that's a safe-ass bet.

This is absolutely a wild claim.

You have to admit though, it's a bit strange as a man to be proud to be able to beat a woman. I know this post is for shits and giggles and to kick Rousey while she's down, but the premise of having some sense of pride in winning a hypothetical fight with Ronda Rousey seems a bit odd to me.

I'm really just mad that he thinks dudes could just beat Skylar Diggins at basketball like it's nothing. I was kinda flabbergasted by the brazenness of just casually beating up a full-time fighter... but the basketball thing admittedly set me over the edge. Spoken like a guy who's literally never played against even a D1 college level player, much less a bonafide WNBA star.
