[@echodelta1562]

In response to the negative comments about Rousey’s skills here: These are both highly skilled Judokas. The trouble with Judo competition is both combatants know Judo....

[@adaptiveagile]

Good point. It’s sort of like the hand-fighting and gi game in BJJ.

[@Pkkct]

They are women. Their skills are lacking in general. Not knocking them, it was just the state of women’s judo at the time. Take the current women’s world champ in any combat sport and compare to 2007. There has been major progress.

[@jayorsilentbob8334]

Usually when people are competing both sides have skill in the sport they competing in. The only problem with this match is the female's aren't competing in bikinis.

[@Pkkct]

Alexandru Gheorghe with that level of confidence, I’m sure you would lose.

[@Pkkct]

Alexandru Gheorghe just saying, if you have fought all over the country for the last ten years, I would think you would be capable of beating any woman in judo.

[@guam58]

I am not sure how the point system works, but Rousey looked like she was getting manhandled from the get go. The French woman to quick and explosive.

[@AlexCruz-wc1yo]

She was. Rousey's rose to fame in MMA fighting street fighters with no defense against her. This is another story.

[@AlexCruz-wc1yo]

@Dan Roley Huh? Rousey was the MMA queen for how many years? In the other hand, in her career as a judo athlete she wasn't #1 not once. That says all about how different that animal is.

[@AlexCruz-wc1yo]

@Dan Roley I got your point now. Was careless reading in a hurry before, sorry and agreed.

[@williamsmith8790]

Alex Cruz There is no striking in Judo. No top level judoka has ever done well in MMA. Most of them get stroked. She was your best proponent.

[@MoneyOverFame]

the French woman was #1 in the world at this point.

[@hereticlife2546]

Well 2 minutes in and I apparently dont know anything about Judo

[@draven3838]

I know what you mean ,it is like any judo I learned

[@fnog9]

wow, i have no idea how scoring works in this.

[@makikomi]

The scores generally relate to how the person being thrown lands on the mat. If a person is thrown cleanly onto their back with impetus (force), the thrower scores Ippon (usually regarded as 10 points). Close to that is waza-ari (7 points). If they land on their side, it is Yuko (5 points). If they land on their behind, the throw scores Koka (3pts) but this last score has since been removed from competition. Gaining a submission through an armlock, choke or strangle also scores Ippon. If you pin someone on their back in grappling on the mat, scores are awarded depending on the duration of the hold.

[@JoseRivera-uq2tw]

@@makikomi thanks for explanation!!

[@makikomi]

@@JoseRivera-uq2tw You're welcome. : )

[@andrewnforsyth]

@@makikomi when you say "pin" do you mean shoulders to the mat or is it dominant position like side control or full mount?

[@makikomi]

@@andrewnforsyth There are several criteria that need tio be satisfied, the main one being "The contestant being held must be controlled by his opponent and must have his back, both shoulders or one shoulder in contact with the Tatami (mat)".

[@yesyoumay]

Why? She did a good job against Rousey. She was very skilled. You should respect whoever was best and in this match the black girl was clearly the better athlete.

[@MoneyOverFame]

the French woman was the #1 fighter in that weight class at this time

[@philonutube100]

Ronda's sneaky foot sweeps in mma was legendary 😊

[@adaptiveagile]

Ronda became light years better as she got older. I still think she’s a tremendous talent-great throws and an exceptional ground game. I’m surprised that she got all the criticism after her two defeats.

[@jayorsilentbob8334]

I'm still a rousey fan but I think she got so much crap because of her behavior when she coached the Ultimate Fighter. She really has a hard time with loosing and it shows in a negative way to people.

[@adaptiveagile]

​@@jayorsilentbob8334 For sure. But it's one thing to dislike her personality or behavior. It's another when people attack her legit skills as if she was all hype. On the mat, the girl is a phenomenon. So that's really my point. I'd really love to see her compete in nogi grappling promotions.

[@jayorsilentbob8334]

@@adaptiveagile Absolutley man. People will hate and disregard her talent. I will and always will be a fan of her.

Wishing you better luck next time Ronda. You still have our American spirit with you always.. you get her next go-round! Chin up my beautiful queen.

[@ichichu]

I’m so glad they have changed the rules in judo to disallow this much passive fighting. Each time I see this it drives me crazy. In current judo, she would be disqualified for 1:30 seconds of running. I have been in the same situation and just hated when my opponent ran from me.

[@lazykid1]

ichichu If you can't catch your opponent within a confined area, that's your fault.

[@ichichu]

+dolololo clearly you don't understand the theory of bushido.

[@lazykid1]

ichichu Fighting with "honor" doesn't mean much if you lose. Even Miyamoto Musashi knew that.

[@ichichu]

You’re still missing the point. No sense in trying to quote Miyamoto Musashi, because the situation is completely different. The point of judo matches is that you are trying to achieve a perfect throw, not just win. It is like in MMA when you see people trying for the KO when they are already winning the match. Similar to sumo as well as kendo and many other Japanese martial arts competition, it was developed as a way to decide who was the best without having to die in battle. This also meant you had to show the best form. If you know the history of judo, you would also know that in the past there was only ippon and later came wizari and even later yuko and koka points, because you were only superior with a perfect throw. Hence, running like the French girl did is annoying to me. Remember, I am not disagreeing with the fact she won, but the way she finished the match.

[@larissacastellanos4831]

ichichu Gervrise literally ran for 7 seconds & before that she was wiping the floor with Ronda, Single legs, ankle pick ups, & outer trips, oh & she was circling out which is something the women of 135 desperately need to do. She was dominating that fight. The French Judoka's are pretty good.

[@gerardoydeborarivero-carab3019]

Love ronda😍

[@spiritsoulbody9845]

Ronda, eine Königin

[@BBBYpsi]

Ronda was 18 yrs old here & the female from France was 24 with much more experience then Ronda. If Ronda had continued I believe she would have become the world champion & also gold medalist in Judo 70 K weight division. She took a silver at these world championships. The following year at the Olympics Gévrise Émane did not come close to getting the Olympic medal. Ronda 1 yr older won a bronze & could have easily won the silver against Edith who was also much more experienced then Ronda at the time.

[@lolobebel4936]

She didn't continue and Gévrise Emane won 2 other world tittles, so talking about judo Rousey can't be compared with her.

[@bigmember5908]

if this happened in 2007 she would have been 16 I believe

[@justinhernandez1942]

I'm sure that's not the case Ronda started judo at the age of 11 so she had probably 6 years under her belt. And who know the French chick might have started at age 20..

[@blazeovich]

This girl was wiping the floor with Ronda's butt. It was hard to watch. But Ronda looked so young too. Practically a child.

[@BBBYpsi]

Getting experience at high-level was a key here Ronda was very young and that following year that girl that was manhandling a very young Ronda Rousey did not even make it to the Olympic finals will Ronda ended up with a bronze medal

[@marcosvargasregio6278]

Given so much stupid, inappropriate and indecent comment against Ronda Rousey, I think it would be nice to know her achievements in judo: Juegos Olímpicos Año Lugar Medalla Categoría 2008 Pekín (Bandera de República Popular China China) Medalla de BRONCE -70 kg Campeonato Mundial Año Lugar Medalla Categoría 2007 Río de Janeiro (Flag of Brazil.svg Brasil) Medalla de PLATA -70 kg Juegos Panamericanos Año Lugar Medalla Categoría 2007 Río de Janeiro (Flag of Brazil.svg Brasil) Medalla de ORO -70 kg Campeonato Panamericano Año Lugar Medalla Categoría 2004 Isla de Margarita (Flag of Venezuela.svg Venezuela) Medalla de ORO -63 kg 2005 Caguas (Bandera de Puerto Rico Puerto Rico) Medalla de ORO -63 kg 2006 Buenos Aires (Bandera de Argentina Argentina) Medalla de PLATA -63 kg 2007 Montreal (Flag of Canada.svg Canadá) Medalla de BRONCE -70 kg Summarizing: Three GOLD medals.

[@CharlesHarmonHealth-Wealth]

+Kaliman Chanoc You are right! With all of RRR success in mma and the money it has brought her, you don't see any mass movement of Judoka's moving into mma. RRR Olympic coach has stated don't expect other Judoka's to perform like RRR in mma. There will be more national and international women wrestlers moving into mma then Judoka's. On a high level it has already begun to happen with Invicta fc Sharon Jacobson 115 lbs strawweight fighter 4-1 with lots of talent fighting in mma. Jacobson is the USA Team #2 team member behind #1 rank wrestler in the world Helen Maroulis 23 year old (2015 World Champion). Many others like this will be moving into mma after the 2016 Olympics. It just appears that the Women Judoka's don't have the heart to fight mma. Many Bjj are coming, wrestlers and other martial arts like Karate, Taekwondo...etc.

Right, because being good at Judo means she'll be good at MMA. -__-

[@SmittyKat]

NOCDIB no I didn't mean that, I'm just saying if she were anywhere near as good at striking and BJJ as she is Judo, and with training she could get there, I think she could give Ronda a real run for her money. But that's just conjecture it will never happen I don't think lol

[@mobielgame9221]

Katherine Smith They probably dont wanna give up their Olympic Gold Medal. If they know for sure that they would become HUGE in MMA maybe more would cross over. But would have been nice to see French, Dutch and all the others in MMA. Specially if they would learn all the other elements. Im sure Rousey would be challenged and probably beaten in the near future which is normal in MMA. Nothing to be ashamed off. Respect to Ronda Rousey.. She made a good move for getting into MMA. Smart move, specially if Judo has lots of talents and almost impossible to become number 1 or to get multiple gold medals.

[@thangcohon]

Katherine Smith i think Dana White will eventually find this black girl and give her a chance to face Ronda in the UFC. And when she does, she will definitely give Ronda a run for her money, (Not just a run, it will be a rough, hard, and difficult run for her money). Eventually, it will happen. Maybe somewhere down the line of 2017.

[@CharlesHarmonHealth-Wealth]

+Katherine Smith Emane is 33 years old and at the end of her competitiveness even in Judo. It would take her years to cross over and be competitive with RRR. Emane wouldn't be able to beat Meisha Tate or Cat Zingano in mma. Judo is only one set of skills. She would have to develop her boxing, wrestling , Bjj. Look how many years it has taken RRR to develop her striking and she has trained 6 days a week for the last 5 years. RRR is learning at lighting speed to get her striking to this level. RRR is a 4 1/2 year pro. Meisha Tate is a 8 year pro. Cyborg is a 10 year pro in mma. RRR striking has caught up and is about to pass her mma competitors in striking. Emane could compete and have some success but if she works as hard as RRR has done....Emane would be approaching 40 years of age with the hope of getting to RRR level now. With that said, RRR will be even better next year and the year after that. Boxing take years to get to the highest skill level. Just because Emane does Judo, it doesn't mean she has a superior ground game. Remember most Judokas do not learn a full compete ground attack. It all depends on their teachers they learn from. RRR was lucky to have a mother who learn that ground game and RRR has expanded upon that game by adding the Bjj factor to fill in the holes.

always wonderful to see Rousey lose. Her attitude and rudeness in mma made me dislike her from the moment I saw her, and nothing has ever altered that view I have, right or wrong. So I'm always pleased to see someone with attitude and ego get dropped down a notch or two.

[@peterlafayette5595]

Its all about the grip and can you do something with it once you get it., exhausting. Get a submission , or a full clean throw (Nippon) Or a series of throws which add up.

[@apfury]

Clean throw is an Ippon. In Japanese it translates to one full point or more litterally “one”. Nippon in Japanese refers to Japan and the literal translation is: Land of the rising sun.

[@lauraaboui601]

[@mercadoa99]

@@davidc7656 ya in the later years of his career he became a counter puncher and he attacked as he was backing up. Not just running. And depending on what type of fighter he was fighting it could make for a long boring fight. This lady wasnt setting traps or any counter attacks just running.
