FIGHTLORE: Bronze to Gold, The Reinvention of Ronda Rousey

In the 5 years between winning Olympic bronze in 2008 and making her UFC debut in 2013, Rousey’s life was a roller-coaster of achievement, disenchantment, and reinvention.

@jabron.destoroyah Fluke Holm got lucky and was the one who got exposed. Ronda is an icon and nobody can do what she did

[@loganshaffer9090]

⁠@@jblechanDefinitely wouldn’t say that was a fluke lol. Huge respect for Ronda but she was the one who tried to box with the ex champion boxer, and she paid the price for it. Also not exactly sure how that’s supposed to expose Holly when that was easily the finest performance of her career and led to her dominating Ronda throughout the entire fight. Ronda was good for her time, but her lackluster striking was most definitely exposed in that fight.

[@jblechan]

@@loganshaffer9090 Holm was a total fluke. She got choked into irrelevance a minute later by the one Ronda crushed twice and never did shit again. But at least you understand that she only won due to Ronda choosing to fight stupid and not because fluke holm is some world beater. Holly never has "fine performances" unless who she fights fights stupid. Ronda wasn't good for her. Grapplers are never good for her as we've all seen demonstrated multiple times. Ronda is the only grappler she's ever won against and that was due to Ronda not grappling. We've all seen that happens to holly when that doesn't happen. Ronda has better striking than Holly has choke defense, ground game and submission ability, and that's been exposed a lot. Even after nearly a decade holm still has no choke defense. She just got choked out again. She's a total fluke. Another Buster Douglas never was piece of trash.

[@loganshaffer9090]

That’s kind of an exaggeration to say that Ronda has better striking than Holly has choke defense because Holly has only been submitted twice. Also the woman who just submitted Holly got that win overturned for testing positive for a banned substance. Also calling Holly a never was piece of trash is just plain ridiculous. She was a terrific champion in boxing and a national amateur champion in kickboxing. Furthermore, she was a pretty decent mma fighter, she beat fighters like Irene Aldana who ranked #5 in the UFC women's bantamweight rankings and #15 in the women’s pfp rankings, Raquel Pennington who is currently ranked #2 in the UFC women’s bantamweight rankings and #12 in the UFC women's pound-for-pound rankings, and beat Yana Santos who was ranked #8 in the women’s bantamweight division. So it’s not like she’s been beating bums, she’s been beating people who are in the top ten and in the top 15 pfp list. To say she’s a piece of trash is purely delusional and just a plain bias for Ronda. If your going to give your props to Ronda than you have to give your props to Holly as well. Since she has made her own contributions to women’s combat sports and more than likely brought even more attention to mma itself(especially women’s mma)after her upset victory over Ronda. TLDR: Both Ronda and Holly Holm both deserve their own respect for what they brought to the sport.

A lot of people call Ronda a hype job and say "she got exposed". She didn't get exposed. Everyone except the casuals knew from her first fight that her stand-up sucked. But it wasn't rare to be a specialist at that time. Ronda told every girl she fought that she was going to take them down and break their arm. The girls focused on arm-bar defense their whole camp. They knew exactly what Ronda was going to do and still couldn't stop it. Even the Holly Holm fight just about every fight expert including Big John said it was an easy fight for Ronda if she took down the boxer but if she tried to box with her Ronda was going to get beat. Holly wasn't great and was one dimensional but Jackson had been training Hold to beat Ronda since the first time Holly switched to MMA. They had been working on the Ronda gameplan since Holly's debut. Ronda should have done Misha Tates gameplan and she would have beat Holly. Ronda was never going to beat Nunes she was too big, too strong, too well rounded. But that's not saying much since once Nunes got the belt no one except for the Juliana beat her. Nunes destroyed Misha, Holly and Cyborg.

[@kenjic6083]

sick nunes got beat by pena. healthy nunes dominated pena and it wasn’t even close on the scorecards. and when you think you can’t dominate anyone else anymore than she did pena, nunes went and did just that to aldana.

[@Ajagodkin]

Dude - but can you tell me another fighter who has an armbar like that? I still cant find one. If she only could have handled defeat and stuck to her guns...

[@BrownBomber92181]

Rousey was never going to beat Holm. She tried to take her down multiple times and couldn't do it. She couldn't physically bully Holm like her other opponents, because unlike Rousey previous opponents who were smaller than Ronda (there was only the 135 weight class at the time) Holm fought her whole boxing career at 147 lbs. She was bigger, stronger than Rousey and she was used to fighting bigger and stronger opponents. It was very clear early on the strength difference between the 2.

[@j.olacio5298]

White thought the holly fight was going to be a EZ fight for ronda. That's why he hand picked her. Even though she only had 2 ufc fights. Holly herself said at the time she didn't believe she was ready for the fight since she was new to the ufc.

[@j.olacio5298]

Also Nunes didn't destroy Cyborg she caught Cyborg during a fury exchange. A lucky shot landed. Nunes also refused to give Cyborg the immediate rematch that was in the contract. Nunes new she wasn't beating Cyborg a 2nd time.

After she lost and pretty much had a mental breakdown, i actually felt bad for her because fans were just absolutely enjoying her downfall. But she absolutely deserved it, she was ridiculously disrespectful and just mean for no reason.

you mean she didn't kiss your ass? she didn't deserve the hate and if she wasn't famous she wouldn't have gotten it. she was only disrespectful to those who were disrespectful to her or her family first. you haters need to get your facts straight.

@@jblechan biggest name, no doubt. Gold standard, absolutely no way. Amanda Nunes was by far better. Equally as talented on the ground, infinitely better standing up, and far more aggressive and dominating. Made Rhonda into a damn punching bag when they fought. Beat her up with such dominance that Rhonda knew her era was over and retirement was her best option to avoid tarnishing a seriously amazing career.

[@jblechan]

@@Quagigitymire wuss quitter Nunes wasn't better. She couldn't even defend the belt as many times as Rousey. She also got steamrolled by 3 fighters Rousey slaughtered in a minute combined. Nunes didn't look that talented on the ground when Pena and Zingnao made her ass quit. Ronda finished all her wins, most of them in seconds. How can you get more aggressive and dominating than that? Nunes has had some of the most boring showings in UFC history. Her dry humping of Germain comes to mind for that. You call that aggressive? She didn't even finish all her wins. She got Ronda at her lowest point, but even then Ronda didn't just give up and tap out in that fight the second she was under adversity like Nunes always does. Ronda got better offers for more money and less brain damage. Nunes just ran away cause she was afraid pena might make her quit again. Nunes is the one who tarnished her own career, and wouldn't even have a career if it wasn't for Ronda. Nunes can't get an inch without Ronda's name and she's already been forgotten.

I was at UFC 157 and seen first hand Ronda Rousey vs Liz Carmouche. It was known has Honda (Brazilian pronunciation of the letter R) in the Honda (Center). Hendo vs Machida was not the fight we all thought it would be and the crowd was not as hyped as they "could" have been prior to these female warriors taking the center of the Octagon for the first ever woman's fight, let alone a title fight, in the UFC. The moment they walked out the crowd changed and it was deafening in there. When Liz took Ronda's back like that, everyone lost their fucking minds and starting thinking was this really happening in front of our eyes? Liz was a badass Marine after all, and that means she is at least proficient in making people room temperature with her bare hands, let us say. Then Ronda got her off her back and the rest is history. It was amazing to see and many grown ass men were crying in the crowd. I am and will forever be honored to have witnessed this little piece of history!

so you're saying she should downplay and think less of herself in order to appease you? Why is it mad to know what you're worth and be happy about it? you really don't know anything about elite athletes do you? nobody stayed at the top like she did

[@Day-ZDuke]

@@jblechan actually I played on the Canadian Under 18 Hockey Team, was drafted underage in the 2nd round of the OHL draft, have attended numerous National level hockey training camps, so ya I know about elite athletes And what I wrote has absolutely nothing to do with how she thinks about herself. It’s about having the decorum to not brag and boast about it constantly. It’s called having some class. Obviously something you don’t comprehend Obviously every elite athlete believes in themselves to an extreme degree. And if Ronda was so “happy about it” she wouldn’t need to search for constant validation by boasting and fishing for the agreement and praise of those around

[@jblechan]

@@Day-ZDuke so in other words you got no freakin idea. You don't know about elite athletics. She's not bragging she just doesn't need to say and think less of herself just to satisfy the fact you're nothing. "class" is the nothing peoples' way of saying think less of yourself and say what I want to hear in order for me to like you. Obviously that's not something you comprehend. she doesn't owe you anything. It's not searching for validation. it's the exact opposite. if she wanted "validation"" from you she would be kissing your ass and saying how much you mean to her. she couldn't give a shit about the agreement and praise of those around, let alone you which is why she's not afraid to be open about this.

I guarantee u if rhonda rousey had a coach like team alpha male, team couture, the lions den, colorado with gaethje & usman. Anywhere she woulx still be contender

[@TonyMontanaXx]

I’m not a fan of how narcissistic she is.

[@SASBurner]

its the fight game what do you expect. thats how she got to where she is.

[@jakemitchell1671]

The only one of these I don't like. Didn't cover her story at all. Just an interview with Ronda bragging on herself for half an hour. Her rise-fall-rise again wasn't touched on. Her full story is massively more interesting.

[@richbueno7331]

People are so into talking mad stuff about my girl Ronda. So she got Nick Diaz to become a raging alcoholic. She did and has a freaking awsome career. What are you doing watching and listening. Go do you baby. Get that fame and fotune.. I love you Ronda!❤

[@L8-APEX]

Say what you want about Rhonda but she was a killer. Totally revolutionized women's MMA. A pioneer in every sense of the word

[@davidlowery2162]

I forgot how hot Prime Ronda was 😊

[@ryanbonzer23]

So many lies it’s crazy.. you dislocated your jaw but was yelling at the end like what movie plays in your head lol

[@jblechan]

what lies?

[@buckrush8612]

From bronze to gold to tin can (only say that cause I lost money she still pioneer for women’s mma)

[@jblechan]

tin can? you mean rich, famous, iconic, superstar. you want a tin can start with fluke holm

[@Stormwern]

"If I had been born at any other time in history, I would have been burned at the stake"

[@user-xg4yr7vl5v]

If Ronda rousey focused she would have beaten holly holm and Amanda.. I mean if I was her I would have tried to beat Amanda and holm before I retire

[@user-yr4ur9mu2f]

Who ever does the thumbnails for these videos need to use their good eye

[@carljacobson7156]

Ronda was a top level grappler/submissions fighter BUT, she knocked out a couple of subpar fighters and deluded herself that she was a world class striker. Nope. She got exposed when she tried to strike with actual world class strikers. If she had stayed with her natural grappling base, she might still be in the UFC

[@jblechan]

nobody got exposed more than fluke holm

[@richbueno7331]

What's kj noones smiling about what's he doing

[@SwampOperator]

The difference in women's basketball and women's mma is very simple. Women's mma found a rhonda rousey. Women's basketball didn't. I never in my entire life watched or even had a fleeting thought about women's boxing, basketball, softball... nothing But i watch every women's ufc fight, i know the records and styles of every top 10 female in every weight class. If cyborg fights in whatever backwoods podunk promotion , im watching that beat down. Ill never forget when nunes papped cyborg up and finished her. Or when she beat rhonda up . When schevchenko flatlined eye. All the chick's Andrade has smacked up. Roses journey was epic. The way she baptized joanna after all the bullying All that stuff is in part , due to rhonda and how she made the sport for women.. she inspired so many women, and leveled up women's mma.

[@dbnoho]

Always the bridesmaid.

[@Gaybraham.Lincoln]

Ronda rousey Does not arouse me

[@1dayatatime..180]

Dana smashed 100%

[@jblechan]

got proof?

[@TAMITBS]

This is a cautionary tale about hack coaches that ride the coat tails of talented athletes like Ronda Rousey.

[@jblechan]

got her 12 straight wins in seconds and 6 title defenses. Why don't you tell fluke holm to leave her hack coach Jackson who still hasn't taught her how to defend a basic choke

[@86thepodcast11]

….then what happened?

[@jblechan]

she became and icon and went on to better things

[@TurbulenttJuice]

Imagine what would’ve happened if she went to any other camp.

[@BrownBomber92181]

Shes mentally very fragile tho. The second things don't go her way, she falls apart completely.

[@jblechan]

@@BrownBomber92181 you must be talking about nunes

[@joe2grand]

dunno--- a lot of attention on how she looks, how she is so hot etc ...the character she made for the media (like Colby) and bragadocious stuff about how great she is....quite revealing on her personality

[@user-ns8ex2bb9j]

Rhonda. We r glad to see u back again. U reallt should attend rhe events from time to time. Khabib does, Don Frye does, u lost 2 fights. Who gives a shit. Without that to this day u would be... vain as all get out. Ur still tough. Had u been coached better.. who knows??? But u knew better than to bite down on mouthpiece & start trading leather.

[@jimiewilliams7623]

I dig Ronda, but the intro was a bunch of wu wu. "You can choose to be happy anywhere. It's not your environment, it's your mindset." All i could think of is Ronda's friend, telling some kid in Gaza or Kharkiv, "Hey little one, you shouldn't let the bombings and mass slaughter, get you down, because it's all about your perspective, not your surroundings. You seem to have a negative outlook when it comes to death and destruction. Don't worry, be happy." Then he smiles at the kid and whistles, "Always Look on the Brightside of Life", by Monty Python. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.
