If you didn't come here for the finer points of face-punching then, buddy, you came to the wrong place.

Ronda Rousey achieved the status of a "not if, but how" fighter years ago. No longer do we wonder whether or not she will beat the next opponent in front of her; we merely ask how she'll get the finish, and how long it will take. And though she has yet to rematch Claudia Gedelha, to whom she arguably lost, strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk is starting to take on a similar aura. 

So on this week's episode of Heavy Hands, we're talking about stylistic matchups, and trying to figure out just what, if anything, Holly Holm and Valerie Letourneau have to offer the queens of MMA. 

After that it's a recap of last weekend's two standout fighters, Thomas Almeida and Rashid Magomedov. One earned yet another knockout, but did so in impressively intelligent fashion; the other earned yet another decision, but did so with the same fascinating surgical precision as always. Both seem destined for the top tens of their respective divisions.
