We have no idea if those votes are real. I'm sure they are, but we all know it is going to be Conor. Even I would vote for him, and I'm not really a fan of his other than watching him fight.

I dont think the votes are fake. If they were someone like GSP wouldve been on the last cover instead of Gus.

personally i would vote for Weidman...that dude needs to get more respect that he is getting. The other choice would be Demetireus

I think Rousey is the obvious choice.

Rousey was unbeaten and considered nearly invincible. Not to mention she's good looking and well spoken.
She was drawing in fans from all over and getting non-fans to discuss MMA.

In my opinion, that makes her the perfect choice as a cover athlete.
In fact, I believe it works even after her loss as well.
Over the weekend, I got together with a few buddies and even those who don't follow MMA were talking about it.
Love or hate her, a lot of people - especially casual and non-fans of the sport - associate UFC with Ronda Rousey.

The best thing that happen to the UFC, happened Saturday night, and that was Rousey getting beaten. She is an outstanding fighter and was dominate in a weak field of women fighters, but the damn media and Dana White annoited her as the most dominate athlete on the planet due to her gender, and it was fantastic that Holm squashed that BS narrative.

I respect the hell out of Rousey because of skills as a fighter, but I absolutely hated how the media tried to prop her up. Yes, it brought more casual fans to the sport, but you don't sell the soul of the sport and have it ride on one women's shoulders, especially when she never been tested by a woman who was truly not afraid of her in a weak division of fighters.

Rousey is getting all the hate because she brought it on herself for coming off as being very self centered and disrespectful at times, as if she was the baddest bitch on the planet. Well, Holm walked all over her and Rousey was at her best that night. Rousey will never have a easy fight ever again because more women will feel that they can beat her.

I am not surprised Rousey is the cover athlete, she is one of the most overrated and overhyped athletes since Tim Tebow. I was so glad to see her lose that fight, knocked her back down to earth. She is a good fighter don't get me wrong, but people calling her the greatest fighter ever was starting to get out of control.

The Madden Curse resulted in one of two things happening: severe decline in play or injury. OBJ is still playing at an Elite level but the season is far from over. Ray Lewis's "curse" didn't happen until week 15.
