It is not even close.

Ryan Blaney survived four cautions in the last 24 laps to win the NASCAR Xfinity race in Newton, Iowa, for his first victory of the season.
UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has run rampant through her weight class to the point that she’s going to fight Miesha Tate, someone that she’s beaten convincingly twice before, for a third time. That is unheard of anywhere besides illegal street fighting.
If Tate does choose to accept and take Rowdy Rousey on for the third time, she deserves a freaking medal just for participation. “She’ll pick out mistakes and get better with her striking and get even more unsafe”. It took her a minute and six seconds to knock out Sara McMann at UFC 170, and then crushed Alexis Davis in 16 seconds at UFC 175.
On Friday, Correia went absolutely nuts in the weigh-in, taunting Rousey by shouting “don’t cry”. It is disappointing after the tremendous showing at UFC 189. So while she might not have dressed up her resume much with this holster notch, the champ did unveil a whole new side of her game that future opponents will have to worry about.
As everyone with a brain expected, Ronda Rousey made mincemeat of Bethe Correia at UFC 90, knocking the Brazilian out in a mere 34 seconds to retain her bantamweight title.
Disrupt Your Feed: Anyone questioning whether Rousey is the most dominant athlete in any sport deserves an arm bar. Rousey wholeheartedly dismisses Correia as a competitor; Rousey already has her eyes on making a movie. “There’s no flawless fighter”. We’ll see during the fight. She tried to grab me.

Big statement, I know, but this is just getting silly. This left me, as a viewer, as a fan wanting more, especially considering the months of trash talk. I think I proved a lot to myself and everybody else about the diversity of my style and what I can do in there. I don’t fault them. That affects people psychologically. Holding the trophy, she took a jab at fellow fighter and known domestic abuser Floyd Mayweather Jr., after he slighted her by saying he didn’t know of her. Rousey delivered a combination of body shots, punch combos and knees before she went in for the kill. The thinking was, however, that this would put her within the perilous Rousey wheelhouse, and one of her arms would pay the price. She is known for her judo and takedown ability.
