Am I being vague?"Time magazine names @SBNation one of the 50 top websites of 2011...

THE FUTURE FACE OF WOMEN'S MMA?
"I think the real controversy should be over people expecting me to continue when I'm knowingly injuring a girl that's crying out in pain. I think mma would be worse off if there was a woman snapping someone's arm in half while they're screaming on national television... I don't regret my decision, I know I did the right thing" -Ronda Rousey, talking about her decision to let go of the armbar. Our own Tim Burke also talked about the issue here.
"Big winner @RondaRousey gets a visit from @BJPennDotCom" -http://twitter.com/#!/RondaRouseyStrikeforce, the likely next 'face of women's MMA', goes into fangirl-mode after seeing Penn.
