Everyone posting is clearly an MMA fan. So the answer is really easy. "ol father time, on a fools night ". It will happen with someone only a handful know and no one expects. Just look at UFC/Pride history, remember who beat all the greats ? Mostly someone raw and powerful. I recall every UFC fight from day one, and there have been many RR's, Gracie, Severen, Hughes, Penn, lydell, crocop.. (and yes i know my spelling sucks, sorry) they all fought more fights than RR without getting beat. Once a fighter gets really hurt or KOed each KO after that gets easier and more dangerous. The brain will actually shut down faster to protect it's self from damage. So one night, a special night, a good fighter enters the ring and destroies RR, and before that fight RR had been busy promoting her movie, her new sport drink, or like Hughes opening a new gym. Perfect night, for someone, who fights an unfocused fool. It always happens.
Ken44, I can tell you like the fight game and carry lots of knowledge and good points, you must not be as "old" as i figured in other forum areas, the UFC is a young mans sport, and it's clear you follow. Great info., as for JBJ it will be the same story. I've promoted sales advertising with Zufa and Nascar , who are still trying to get together, though we had it going after the events at Daytona last year, but talk about master fighters, egos, and golden boys, put Dana in with France Jr. , no give. What I know for sure, no fighter plans to loose, no scam involved. Dana would put, JBJ and RR together just to see one lose ! The follow-up fights draw 3xs the would audiance. Zufa will never release fight numbers, not even to Ad groups, but bet your life, once JBJ or RR lose, the rev. triples. Zufa's are all about money. That is why sometimes silly fights get held, Brock prefect example of that. I wish it would return to days of old, in only one regard. Create a super heavyweight class, 265 is b/s if you really want to see the bad boys. Nothing says "watch out" like 375 vs 450. Please wash those mats.
