Are you seriously comparing Gracie to Rousey? I'm dying here.

You’re clearly being obtuse because you have this infatuated hate toward Rousey.

The point is you place an arbitrary value of KOs over submissions.

Gracie wasn’t knocking anybody out but he dominated a field of fighters with a skill (BJJ) fighters at the time were not well-verses in let alone defend.

Rousey dominated the women’s rank while it was still in its infancy. I just heard an interview with Dana White recently where he talked about how the women’s MMA has just now caught up to where the men’s has been in terms of refined, well-rounded MMA fighters.

Rousey is an easy person the dislike; I get it. In fact, I thoroughly enjoyed watching her get dismantled by Holm and Nunez. That said, your far-reaching attempts to discredit her on every angle is simply moronic.

Gracie didn't have to worry about getting knocked out either, but he gets credit for what he deserves to get credit for. He helped bring BJJ to the mainstream. Does that make him one of the best fighters in MMA history or the history of the UFC? No. It doesn't.

I actually don't hate Rousey at all. I'm just stating that she is who she is and who that is, is not nearly a well rounded fighter, let alone great champion.

She ducked the best fighters, which is a fact. She handpicked her opponents, which was a fact.

The UFC ranking system is broken, but even the implementation of such a system lead to her downfall and inability to fight whomever she wanted.

Women’s Soccer kicked some *** in the World Championships.

Again, that is assuming what they're saying is true. US Soccer like FIFA is known for being totally corrupt.

And vice versa is also true. You are assuming that they are lying with no evidence to support it.

It says it was independently audited finances so who knows.

I'm assuming an organization that is well known to be corrupt may be acting in a corrupt manner. There is plenty of evidence to show how corrupt they are. Whether or not what they've said is true is yet to be determined. Independently audited, yeah, by whom? What made them independent? That doesn't mean neutral. It just means that the auditor was external.

I couldn’t get past the first line...

Did you really just claim Gracie didn’t have to worry about getting knocked-out, loooool?

He was fighting slobs, glorified roadhouse bar fighters, and guys that defined themselves as “pit fighters.” The common denominator with all of these guys is that they were swinging for the fences and KO’ing opponents.

I think you’re catching on to the go-to tactic being utilized. That being him treating his conclusions based off motive-mongering as fact, lol.
