"I hope she accepts her loss in a healthy way" - Ronda. (Cringe Moment) Too bad she didn't take her own advice.

[@overshot8331]

She got massively influenced by media and got cocky and arrogant until the loss

[@kianadowdell6713]

She also pointed out people have a hard time with self confidence that she had to work on to develop. you're supposed to speak positivity into you and your craft. otherwise you're just like everyone else. Ronda is a boss. one loss doesn't make you a loser. she's coming back. and a great role model for fighters! what she stands for is much stronger than what she actually does! amazing self confidence and doing what others haven't done!

[@duhreel1]

All the wins and medias changed her smh.

[@duhreel1]

THATS WHY SHE TOOK ANOTHER L BAHAHAHA

[@kianadowdell6713]

+PromiSe TheRapper like you haven't LOL stop it

[@kianadowdell6713]

+PromiSe TheRapper be real with urself sir

[@DrDizzle1990]

3 min on Nunes? She's had more mma fights than Rousey!!

[@kennardstinnette1139]

right

[@MMAdiehardfan]

She definitely duck cyborg ! That’s the only reason she moved down to 135

[@MattapanUniversity]

Omg she was just so fit I would of loved to ten years ago

[@joeciocco457]

Looking back at this lets me relive the joy I felt when Holly knocked Rondas head off. I forgot how much she strutted around with her mean girls attitude, she was so easy to hate. After getting eliminated from the UFC and fading into obscurity before joining WWE, we as people almost felt bad for Ronda. We treated her like a girl that was thrust into the spotlight and had no choice. We gave her the space she asked for and didnt bother her because we knew she was going through it so to speak. Looking back, she could have been such a better person and ambassador for the sport. I know she put it on the map and she will forever be famous for doing so but she was a terrible role model. She was everything that some MMA fans have grown to hate, the UFC hype machine, the preferential treatment, ect ect. I think we can all agree that at least 15 women in the UFC right now would kill Rousey.

[@rachellaugherty4057]

Lol... Your a loser at life 😂, no matter how bad you can't stand her Butt she is the reason there is a holly holms and there is a Juliana Pena ! Rousey put women's MMA on the map I don't care what anybody says if it wasn't for her there would be no women's MMA

[@xDarkiness]

Ronda to Holly before the fight: "Take her loss in a healthy way" Crazy how ironic that is, huh?

[@coffeeblak86]

Too Many Cooks damn

[@viceb7]

Amanda seems like a very warm loving person despite her being such a damn brawler. Much respect to her, Holly and Miesha. 🙌

[@MMAdiehardfan]

Most definitely

[@fishfluidone3236]

This is like watching the rise of Darth Vader, a innocent, humble young kid that turn's into the face of evil 😳

[@MLGAMINGGB]

Literally what i was thinking - the end shows that most imo.

[@hasekdom]

Right on!

[@KarateKuala]

Yeah, it kind of feels like that..

[@SkemeKOS]

Except Ronda hasnt turned evil yet, and never will.

[@anons000]

SkemeKOS she looked kind of evil at the end there haha

[@jundialhaqiqa9907]

This video is like the UFC's promotion of the fight, all about Ronda with just a little bit of Nunes thrown in there.

[@KellyKarline]

Rousey has always been emotionally weak. She said it took a long time to build up her "confidence". When you have a bunch of people around you saying you are the best; you're going to believe it whether it's true or not. Rousey's downfall was underestimating Holly. Holly wasn't intimidated by Rousey and that's when Rousey started getting nervous. After feeling Holly's fist during the weigh-in she second guessed herself. You could hear her voice shaking when speaking to Rogan. She even showed fear during Jimmy Fallon. Rousey's reaction to the loss is a reflection of what Bethe said "She is not mentally healthy; she needs to take care of herself. She is winning, so everybody is around her cheering her up, but when she realises she is not everything that she believes she is, I don’t know what might happen. I hope she does not kill herself later on." After that fight a lot of people doubted her and she doubted herself. She went into hiding and contemplated suicide. This sport is all mind games and has little to do with physical strength. I was never a fan of Ronda Rousey but I do hope she takes care of herself. I also hope Dana White makes a much greater effort in promoting multiple female fighters instead of focusing on just one.

[@Respect12948]

Forget holly nunes is better than the both together 😂

[@mrcrunch8000]

I still like how Dana saved the situation by saying Ronda wasn't supposed to talk to media like no one seen him grab her arm to wait and have the wtf look when she stormed off. That dude has no problem talking bs even if some of the bs contradicts the other bs he said.

[@LIAMWHUT]

You can see how much Ronda has changed since she started

[@LIAMWHUT]

its crazy tbh all the media changed her. You can see her ego get more & more bigger after the Liz Carmouche fight

[@ZanOGAL]

same with connor...u get wiser the longer u be in ufc

[@mmat9947]

@@ZanOGAL this didn’t age well

[@Sirclassic718]

The title of this video should be Ronda Rousey timeline.. 90% of this video was all about her.

[@colton4261]

As it should be lmao

[@hiphopstrongman]

@@colton4261 Wrong.

[@teranceamalanathan4754]

how can u not like Amanda Nunes. The woman smiles when she addresses anyone. They need to put her on a ppv in Brasil and watch it go through the roof. Ronda is becoming more delusional and arrogant everyday. I got Nunes on this one, her boxing is just too good and that jujitsu will keep her good should it get to the ground.

[@Guy-cs8yj]

Amanda seems like a pretty awesome chick. I didn't know much about her till the last few months and I have to say there's nothing not to like about that woman.

[@phreshian]

This comment aged very well. Congratulations.

[@SilverDna4]

she shouldn't have fought Nunes she should've fought someone easier to build her self

[@GhostMan-gs7zr]

Alberto Lopez She would have still lost

[@robertbairt928]

The Team needs a payday, even a loss gets paid and the Bills keep coming, Calif is very expensive🤑

[@lostintime519]

she should have controlled herself. The most important fight is against yourself. Ronda is a very resentful person, that ate her.

[@Hi-xd5ox]

Well done MMAFightingonSBN team. Your original content is always amazing!

[@Ainttrippin]

lmao 29:37 "accepts her loss in a healthy way" WOW talk about irony.

[@ryanthomas9306]

Coach JG I'm surprised the input this clip, if I was Ronda I would probably be saddened.

[@waitingisfun]

Nunes beat her to a pulp and took her belt, and Tate hugged her after the fight. That is the spirit of a champion. Miesha Tate lost that fight, but she is a champion.

[@dakingltroyproductofdade3579]

Nunes went to her to after

[@chihuahuaman7025]

Nines already had the belt when they fought.

[@xwaiz2805]

Nunes defended her belt against Rousey

[@waitingisfun]

I was talking about Meisha Tate. How she hugged Nunes after taking Meisha Tate's belt.

[@ashishlykegurung7002]

True 👍🏻

[@joeciocco457]

12:07 Never saw this interview before and I am so glad I saw it in this video. This is the epitome of why we wanted to see Ronda lose. Talking about how she likes Holly and hopes that after Holly loses she can enjoy her big payday and go buy a nice house. She even says a second time how she hopes Holly handles her upcoming "loss" well. I would be fine with all this talk if Ronda didnt act like a little spoiled brat when she lost. Never forget that when Ronda got her head kicked off by Holly she faded into darkness for a long, long time. There is a difference between confidence and cockiness. Ronda was really cocky and honestly, she had no right to be. At the end of the day it was not even her words that showed her arrogance but her lack of training in her stand up game. She honestly thought that not only could she get every fighter on the ground, she never even thought of preparing for a fight when she had to stay on her feet.

[@kayveien]

30:00

[@Hugo_Tate]

23:32 Rogan looks like he’s expecting life or death news here lol

[@karries6342]

This video was very well made, watched the whole thing all the way through 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👌🏽

[@nn4mz571]

29:15 - THIS right here. This is why folks are coming after Ronda. She was poppin' off as if she had already won the fight (get an Albuquerque home with the money in the fight Holm would lose), and "taking the loss in a healthy manner." These is something SHE didn't do.

[@lassederboss]

its called promoting

[@dilbaghsingh9412]

its called arrogance

[@afp854]

when did arrogance become a bad thing? all the top competitors in every sport are arrogant

[@lassederboss]

afromp you might wanna check with a dictionary i don't think you know the meaning of arrogance.

[@sugarcoat4]

this was so good. great job

[@joeciocco457]

Dana never loved a fighter like he loved Ronda and to a lesser extent, Conor. From the second he saw Ronda he fell in love and he did literally everything in his power for Ronda to be successful.

[@riffgroove]

She slept with him. Worst kept secret in MMA.

[@GDSTX]

Best media i have seen - well done!

[@Tealeafs1]

this was really well done :)

[@VexedViewer]

You see the moment Ronda's head got really big. Right after the Cat Zingano fight. Such arrogance.

[@coffeeblak86]

Vexed Viewer is she juiced to the gills???

[@SteelShakey]

others say it was after the liz carmouche fight. she was just always arrogant

[@MrFerang74]

Vexed you are so right! A big ego will always be your worst enemy in life.

[@adudeczka]

Nice piece, thanks guys. Was fun to see the evolution of Ronda's fame.

[@KM-uk2md]

This is great content. Helluva stuff!!!

[@kennethhamilton5323]

really good promo best ive seen so far

[@Ultradude604]

I sincerely hope Ronda learn to lose grudges. In her head, she loves to create conflicts where none existed time and time again. Holm is the sweetest person, and she showed respect to Ronda after knocking her out in the ring.

[@HerbivoreJesus]

dang, rhonda looked hotter before?

[@lyndafall8818]

You're a good looking fella !

[@oleskool1031]

She was absolutely lovely when she was starting out. Inside and out. Wow. Fame is a hell of a drug. If she had done more boxing in her career she would have been unstoppable. I did not know that she was so intelligent.

[@gregkaye5583]

All credit to Holm and Nunes.

[@pacobarish648]

even here they just focus on cry baby ronda

[@NateDawg920]

People do forget everything Ronda did...this was very well put together. Her run going all the way back to Strikeforce is amazing...all finishes.

[@lyndafall8818]

Well let's see, the belt was given to her. She had to arm bar her opponents to keep the belt. Dana is what made her along with the media. Once she thought she can fight that's when she lost big time! The media is what made the women's mma thanks to Dana promoting her not ronda!and she became very ungrateful with all her game and fans! Dana sure pulled many strings to get her to where she was. Instead if improving, in her mind there was no room for that as she was told she was the best. Looks at what happened to her! Yes she's rich, but she doesn't have what she wanted. "Retire a winner with the belt" wonder is she's happy in real life!

[@boobierubi8567]

If you notice Ronda was a great fighter when she was hungry and only cared about fighting . But soon as she went Hollywood and got fame everywhere it's like ok I made it and I'm done it's like she stopped being hungry because she was probably making more money outside the octagon than inside however she forgot that the only reason why she was at that point was because of the octagon and still should of remained hungry. Its easy to get on top it's harder to stay there

[@JA-rs3os]

i hope holly accepts her loss in a healthy way lol

[@gregkaye5583]

Love the video. It's timing's even better - shortly after Rousey starts with wwe.

Nice documentary. Would’ve been cooler showing bits of the fights

[@bdazzle5167]

I'm watching because my 13 year old cousin has been training since she was 7 & looks up to Ronda . Met Ronda in in Manhattan , put her hands up at her and told her she will take the title from her one day. Ronda get that title back so my lil cousin can take it from ya 😂😭..Forget the hate comments . Great personality , great fighter love ya Ronda win or lose .

[@Heroasaurus]

Ronda's loyalty has been her downfall and success, from her team to her own opinions and thoughts. While her camp helped her get to a certain point she doesn't seem to want to train with better people. Her thoughts have made her believe everyone's against her and created a little bubble of hate. Its why she WAS great(winning) not necessarily why she WILL continue to be great(lose and quit).

[@twinofny]

Bryan A her mom and Gene LaBelle trained her so I wouldn't say Edmond did anything for her. he just found the needle in 50 hay stacks.

[@Eric42RandomVideos]

Can we get a Cruz vs No Love timeline, that would be great thx

[@KarateKuala]

This is an excellent no nonsense review. I enjoyed it. Thanks to whoever made it.

[@rickyvandusen1744]

Ronda was so cute and innocent and happy. If that was her now ...

[@MarkBarna1]

I think the comparison is The Beatles. Every year they looked different and more world weary. Muhammad Ali too looked different every year. The change in looks, I think, has to do with being No. 1 in the world. A lot of pressure. Everyone wants something from you. That ages the body and mind. Anyway, after watching this promo, I pick Ronda to win by arm bar.

[@kevinkelly5569]

@@MarkBarna1 yea she got destroyed trying to throw hands with Nunez! Lol should of sticked to her ground game like u thought she was going to

[@Ultradude604]

Amanda Nunes. How do you go from getting TKO by Cat Zingano to knocking everyone out and becoming champion?

[@jasminejohnson5704]

By being a smart fighter with the right trainers and learning from her mistakes. Amanda Nunes is a beast in women's mma just as good if not better than Valentina Svecnecko.

[@nicolebailey4426]

@jasminejohnson5704 exactly Nunes learns from her mistakes. She even said it herself that fight was good for her to get better. Sure it hurts to lose but it how bad you wanted. The 1st fight with Pena she was ill and fatigue she congrats the new champion Pena but she wanted her belt back and she did it. To win you have to be physically mentally and spiritually before you fight quoting Nunes.

[@jupitersworld244]

“ with Holly I hope she accepts her loss in a healthy way” Rhonda you didn’t accept your loss in a healthy way!

[@ambitiousnerd8206]

She was way more shredded for the Misha fight (in Strikeforce) compared to any UFC fight

[@marclau6974]

I dont know how the other fighters didn't crack up laughing when Rhonda gave that overexaggerated tense face during the staredown!

[@EarthSurferUSA]

The "Cat fight call" at min 4:10, (after words between Tate and Rousey), was too funny. I am not sorry, being politically incorrect is funny, and even Tate and Rousey busted a gut.

[@joeciocco457]

26:50 Ronda we are ok with you having a high opinion of yourself and nobody is telling you how to act. However, if your going to talk like you are unbeatable and tell us how you look in the mirror and love what you see, the least you can do is show your face after Holly Holm kicks your head off your shoulders. Remember when you used to love doing media and portraying your mean girl personal? Where was all that when you refused ALL media(literally did not do a single interview, the only person ever allowed to ignore all media in the history of the UFC while headlining an event) leading up the the Nunes fight? Its a two way street Ronda.

[@SpinningbacKFisT]

She clearly changed for the worse after the Zingano fight.

Ronda is something created by the American media. She was the first one to do it, I'll give her that. Not the best one. Amanda Nunes is the real deal. She proved that against the thoughest contenders in UFC history. Ronda should've been humble and given a better example to young fighters.

[@davidlee4903]

"Ronda Rousey is a mean, nasty fighter." Narrator: "She wasn't."

[@OPHIOHANNAH]

That's it for Rousey, she's done. And realistically I think she was sort of a negative influence anyway; too much bragging and too much anger and arrogance. She was never respectful of her opponents the way most other competitors are. Yes, they are fighters but there's no need to make it personal. At the weigh-in with Schevchenko, Nunes and Schevchenko smiled and shook hands. Rousey never does that. Now she's gone. Good riddence.

When I seen her (Ronda Rousey) interview on ESPN when she was wearing the Librarian outfit, I was hooked! I took the bait and pulled everyone who grabbed a hold of the rod out of the boat!

[@workeveryday8737]

She was on suicide watch-.-

[@Bowdon]

I think Rousey's attitude was better then. I think it shows shes been around people massaging her ego and being paranoid. It would be the best match-up IF rousey beats Nunes and Cyborg beats whoever the ufc new featherweight champion is.. then have a catch-weight 140 match, Champion vs Champion (or 145 title fight).

[@natashabennett6251]

I enjoyed this and I've followed the careers of both fighters. I follow most fighters and well before they enter into the UFC. Many people have forgotten why Ronda became the star she is. Everyone takes things so personal like it's their lives instead of hers. She is a star because she was great at promoting her fights. People hate her for it, but her fights sell out. I'm not claiming she will come back and destroy Nunez. I enjoy watching Nunez fight and anyone who wants to be a star would want a chance at Rousey. Since losing the belt it has passed hands many times. I respect what she did for women's MMA, which truly wouldn't be where it is today without her. Until I see someone hold the belt as long as she did, she will stay the biggest star in female MMA in that devision. I hope that she wins and is able to leave the sport positively. Nunez still has a long and great career ahead of her and she will only get better with time and trials. I understand her not wanting to do media also. She doesn't owe anybody anything. She wants to focus on the fight instead of allowing everyone to hammer her and I get it. I hope she is mentally prepared and I hope to watch a damn good fight by two great fighters.

[@marcelotissoni6702]

I forgot how Ronda used to spit fire on those press conferences, she wrecked MIesha Tate on the Strikeforce one.

[@Rpagsis1]

If Rhonda wants to see what a true teacher who understands how to incorporate certain aspects of the sweet science to enhance a cage fighters striking ability----she needs to look no further than the person responsible for taking her next opponents striking to another level. Edmond had no answer for a high level striker, we'll see if he recognized the weaknesses that must be addressed or she could be exposed once again if the fight stays up. Rhonda looked like a lost amateur that night, and Edmond was a big reason for that.

[@b.g.4266]

Wow, I never knew that Rousey looked past Holly Holm so condescendingly. That piece really underscores just how gassed up she was. Irony has never been more profound, ever!!!
