Quote: | MELBOURNE will host the biggest fight of the controversial Ultimate Fighting Championship — with movie star Ronda Rousey the drawcard.
Rousey, a top-ranked mixed martial arts champion, sent fans into a frenzy as it was announced her next fight would be moved from Las Vegas to Etihad Stadium after organisers saw the chance to smash the UFC attendance record.
Her fight against Holly Holm is now the main event for UFC193 Melbourne in November.
The welterweight title bout between Carlos Condit and Robbie Lawler is now cancelled, with Lawler suffering a thumb injury.
The record crowd for a UFC event was 55,000 set in Toronto in 2011. |
Ronda Rousey has that perfect mix of star quality. Ruthless and efficient at what she does and damn sexy too. Outspoken feminist, yet many feminists don't like the message she sells.
Hope I can get this on Foxtel. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |
