SMH-Trump dissed Ronda Rousey

How about Drumpf meet Ronda in the Octagon and the winner gets to be president. He's always braying about what a tough guy he is:

Glad to see that @RondaRousey lost her championship fight last night. Was soundly beaten - not a nice person!

on edit- this is an old tweet when she lost to Holly Holm. She lost again last night.

I am sorry but if you have always wanted to go to Tahiti or Paris, etc, do it now. For obvious reasons.

According to Facebook, 1 million people are talking about her. Not Trumpettes either. I literally have not seen a single person say that she was awesome. But they are talking about her making $3 million in 48 seconds.

Her striking skills are still as inept as in the Holms fight.

They said she trains at some gym in Glendale.

I am old school. I like boxing. We were joking around about how she wanted to fight Mayweather.

I'm a boxing fan too. The only good MMA bouts are the ones where the two fighters stand up and strike, even if their punches are wide and defense negligible (a good boxer would take them out with jabs and straight rights and lefts that would connect before those round punches ever had a chance to land).

Once the MMA fighters go on the ground and grovel around it's boring and unwatchable to me.

How technical boxing is. I'm really interested in the Mayweather/Conor talk.

I actually love groundwork but I do agree that it's boring as hell to watch.

Mayweather would win in a boxing ring and McGregor in the octagon.

What do they do after that?

That fight was hard to watch. IMHO Ronda waited to long to jump back in the ring. She also changed very little if anything in her training. That said I can't get down with all the hate being thrown at her.

She has no skills in that part of MMA, which, unfortunately is how the matches start.

Because she has no defensive skills and little offensive striking ability, a good striker can take her out before she has a chance to get them on the ground where she excels.

Too bad, those trainers of hers should be sued for incompetence.
