If you're like me, sometimes you forget that Ronda Rousey is an MMA fighter.
Amid all the hype and hoopla, her actual job becomes something abstract. She is famous enough now that she can power her celebrity on her celebrity alone. It's like the ultimate renewable energy feedback loop, except instead of renewable energy, it's, I don't know, TMZ pixels.
But everyone's in Melbourne, Australia, now, and there's a fight in the offing Saturday (American time) at UFC 193. Rousey will defend her title against Holly Holm, who is proven as a boxer but green like new firewood in the MMA space.
So this ought to be fun. And as it turns out, there are actually other fights on the card. It's not just Rousey vs. Holm or anything like that. In fact, there are five fights on the pay-per-view main event.
What is the nature of these fights? Who is going to win them? That's what the Bleacher Report MMA predictions team—which includes Craig Amos, Steven Rondina, Nathan McCarter, Jonathan Snowden and myself, Scott Harris—is here to determine. Let's get it on.
