awesome, awesome! yay!
go joanna!!!
Yes! Go Joanna Jed..r...j..c..? Ummm...I have to remember to just copy and paste her name from now on. (Yay!) She looks like a worthy opponent for Lima, but i`d still pick Lima (who I think is vastly underrated in that division).
@flanellograf: I have also heard Dana White toss out that stat (45 grand for testing for one event). He implied that the UFC was getting fleeced and he encouraged other companies to try and compete with lower estimates. So maybe this is a high-end figure that will gradually come down.
As for this whole betting argument: It is ironic that Alexis is getting such bad odds. I would feel much more comfortable putting money on Ronda to beat Holly (than Alexis). Or, imagine what the odds will/would be for a Carano-Rousey fight. And, that would be easy money.

For one fight, i.e. for both fighters.
I don't know what costs that much, but I guess stuff adds up, and medical/lab work usually is expensive.
All betting lines are is opinions, people probably think of Ronda as a legit man level, borderline superhuman after her quick dispatching of McMann while not even knowing who Davis is. The commission shouldn't take into account mass opinions if they have confidence in their own knowledge of what is or isn't a reasonable match.
Plus the line for Ronda vs Holm would probably be a lot closer and yet...
And yet...Holly Holm is one of the few women who could knock Rousey out cold. Sure she has weaknesses, just like Alexis can get bullied in the clinch. But Holm is one of the few girls who can make Ronda pay for her weak striking defense.

Is it just me, or has her English improved a little?
On a side note...Cyborg seems serious about coming down to 135. And...she said Invicta 8 won`t be until September ?/!
45,000 dollars is 100 to 250 times what it would cost to test those two fighters to see if they were Vitamin D deficient. It is hard for me to believe it would cost that much.
How much does it cost to test two fighters if it isn't a random test?

So I am also working towards US-Japanese relations and world peace.
