Drones are an attempt to extend the range the military can strike. They’re especially useful because they don’t need logistics or supply – you launch and remotely control them. As such, they are the next step forward in attaining the oldest tactics in war – control of territory. Different means, same end.

An end that doesn't involve committing troops.

More killing of them, less dying of us... and thus more likely for "the people" to be okay with the violent option
This site isn’t the place to get into a longer discussion on the topic, but I’m aware that (as with the rest of “war”) there’s political motives behind drone use too, as opposed to “boots on the ground” (which TBH is still not, and won’t for a long time if ever, be superseded for control-of-territory).
On the other hand, HOLY CRAP did she basically duck right into the knee; it’s kinda like how Forrest Griffin walked himself right into that Anderson Silva lead hand.

Ahh, fail. =/ My bad, Snakes quote is ‘War, war has changed’ or something like that.

That’s what happens when a girl who’s not even that big for 115 pounds fights someone who has fought comfortably at 135.
Check out my MMA highlight videos!

I read that they both walked around at 120. But yer right, Rosi competed at 135 a number of times. Still, it seemed to have worked out for Zoila, this time!
Need coffee
Sorry, I just realized what you meant. I’ve seen Rosi’s 135 matches but not Zoila’s Complete brainfart on my part.
Crushing.

We were on the fence next to the south VIP section, and the smack from that knee to the face was LOUD.

Man I hate
seeing women get hit let alone KTFO, hence why I’m not a Womens MMA fan. Still have to give credit where it’s due, Zoila is a entertaining striker, Rosie was in the wrong weight division… and Meisha Tate has a spectacular back side….wait, what..

I like what Matt Hughes said about women’s mma on inside mma last week. It is at the 53 minute mark.

That he doesn't mind shooting does but doesn't want a girl getting punched?
I find that less than compelling as arguments go. :-)

The way it came across to me is that he doesn’t mind if women fight, he just doesn’t want to watch it. It is pretty much the same feeling I have. I will support the fact that they want to fight, but I wont watch it.

I hate seeing women get hit by guys. By other women, fair is fair.

Not that this fight was especially fair, I admit.

this is why womens mma is...
barely relevant at this point. they aren’t even close to being in the same weight class. look at the still frame that the youtube clip starts at before it loads. there looks to be a 15 lb, maybe even 20 lb weight difference. that doesn’t make any sense to me.
Men's mma had the same problems
less than 10 years ago. Sports and athletes don’t evolve overnight. Hopefully 5-10 years from now, more women will be fighting in the right weight classes.
the fight was a catchweight
both fighters made weight but Sexton still had trouble dealing with a bigger more athletic fighter.
Just like we are seeing in the male divisions, the athletes are starting to come into this sport and upset technical savvy vets. Frausto’s push after the knee was a stroke of genius, shoving a stunned opponent makes so much sense I wonder why we don’t see it as much.
People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.

her name is effing badass as well
That knee was sickening. Top knee KOs i’ve ever seen?
1. Aldo double knee on Swanson
2. Spencer Fisher flying knee on Wiman
3. Penn on Uno
4. Silva on Franklin
5. Frausto on Rosie
6. Fedor on arlovsKi (ha)
7. I’m pretty sure i remember a sickening ricardo lamas knee, but i don’t remember the fight. it was recent though
Even when I'm laying on my back I'm never backing down
I have to add
James Irvin flying knee to Terry Martin.
Hansen on Imanari
You could hear the hit echo in the arena.

i think u mean
penn vs din thomas? He punched Uno unconscious in one fight, and drew him in the other. But ya the one on Din was badass
Of course this would happen in a Bellator fight
I really hope Bellator makes it.
by Lauren J Darkbloom on Jun 25, 2010 11:31 AM EDT reply actions
And now Sexton has to go and fight in the upcoming Bellator tournament.
That’s going to be pretty tough after a KO like that. 1.5 months until the tournament.
If you fight, you fight. If you hope, you hope.
Medical Suspension
She’s probably not going to make it.

No
Frausto is much too big to make 115 I think
by Patrick John McGreevy on Jun 25, 2010 2:28 PM EDT up reply actions
yes
I was at the postfight press conference. Bjorn said if Sexton is medically suspended or if any other women can’t fight in the tourny, Frausto will take their place.
It was a 120 lb catchweight so I’m pretty sure Frausto could make the weight

125 lbs.
A 125 lbs. tournament would have been much better. You could have had fighters like Michelle Tavares who beat Lisa Ward. Also you have more challenges for Megumi at 125 lbs.
I just don’t get the viewpoint that it’s okay to watch men get beaten into bloody pulps, but you just can’t for the life of you stand to watch women hit each other. Violence is violence and I feel the same way watching this as I do watching Machida get his head bounced around like a basketball. They aren’t delicate flowers, they’re professional fighters that put in a lot of time and training and honestly the whole viewpoint, while it may come naturally to you, comes off as insulting and a little sexist against these women fighters. If this was watching little kids swing at each other that’d be one thing, little kids or maybe midgets dressed up as kids…but if I know they’re adult midgets then I wouldn’t have a problem with it…unless they were mentally challenged then it wouldn’t be okay again.
Fake Emcees, we always act hard, but won't walk the streets without our bodyguards.
It’s the whole thing with women are “supposed” to be gentle, beautifully majestic creatures. And a lot of guys, me included, are still getting used to them fuckin each other up. A lotta fanboys got their hopes crushed in trying to tag Gina Carano cause they didn’t want their #1 fantasy to get torn apart. They all wanted the princess to beat the barbarian type BS. We can imagine them defending themselves or running away or maybe even dropping someone with a gun but in hand to hand combat battering one another is somewhat new. It never flew with boxing for some reason. I didn’t mind the Christy Martin matches. Give it time and everyone won’t be sexist about it. Cyborg Santos will actually get some respect from the casual fans for being a Beast for once.
