Ronda Rousey finally had something to comment about the controversy involving her statement saying she could beat any women in BJJ today.

After the heated response from BJJ champions at GRACIEMAG.com, the UFC batamweight champion was asked a question about the theme recently in a event in Macau, China.

Ronda not only stood behind her words, but also said that it is a question of how much for her to show up at a grappling match.

Here’s what she said: “No, I haven’t seen their responses, and I’m not going to look for it. If people want to pay me as much as what I get paid in the UFC to go roll with them, I’d go do that too! But I’ve got movies, I’ve got fights, and I just don’t have the time to put in a grappling training camp. They’re only upset because they think they can beat me, so why shouldn’t I be just as upset at their opinion thinking they could beat me? Why are they so much more entitled to their opinion than mine?”

What do you think, dear reader? Should someone step up and pay Ronda to fight one of BJJ’s champions?

Chris Weidman is still the UFC middleweight champion.

In five rounds , he defeated challenger Lyoto Machida by unanimous decision (49-45, 48-47, 49-46).

The champion started out better and after a close first round, grew his control over Machida in the next two rounds.

Round three was Weidman’s best and many felt the fight could have ended there.

Machida held on and proved on round 4 that nothing was written in stone.

A cross punch to Weidman’s chin made the champion’s legs woobly and the Brazilian saw his opportunity to snatch the belt.

For the next minute and a half, Lyoto worked his punches, but wasn’t able to finish the matter.

Fighting five rounds for the first time in his career, Weidman put his gameplan in action on round 5 and was able to control the action once again.

With less than two minutes to go, Weidman got the takedown to make things more safe for him.

Machida had no more strength to do anything else.

The bell rang and the crowd cheered like crazy, recognizing the great action they had witnessed.

Weidman kept his belt and talked about the opponent: “He was tough as I thought. Fast, unpredictable I don’t remember if I got hurt. Have to watch the tape”.

Machida, as classy as always, gave all the credit to his opponent: “He deserves the title. He is the true champion. I’ll be back.”

On the co-main event of the evening, Ronda Rousey once again showed her fans (and haters) that she is one step (maybe two) ahead of her opponents.

In only 16s, Rousey clocked Alexis Davis and got her trademark judo throw to land in side control and puch from there until the ref said enough.

“It just seems that whatever I’m working on in training camp I have implemented effectively in the fight,” commented Ronda on her win.

Fearless, when asked if she would fight less than one month from now, on August 2, she said: “I have to talk with my team, but it’s likely.”

On a sadder note, the UFC pulled the fight between Stefan Struve vs. Matt Mitrione due to a non-life-threatening, near-fainting spell backstage.

Later on, during the press conference, Dana White said that Struve is ok and the doctors have cleared him.

Even so, the UFC boss added, commenting on Struve’s heart condition: “It’s one of those things. He has to think about his life and make a decision.”

Here are the other results of the evening.
