[@flowrepins6663]

She is also hot. The reason she promoted was cause she is cute. Cyborg was better. But was ugly.

[@Profile__1]

Personally, I think the most disappointing part is how she treated herself after getting beaten by Holm and Nunes. There's absolutely nothing wrong with losing, no matter how many times, as long as you pick yourself up and learn from it. I really would've thought she'd just dust herself off and get better, maybe get a different trainer, or even just take a hiatus to humble herself. But then she quit, and turned WWE no less which I feel speaks leagues for her character: a "competition" in which winners are pre-selected and no real stakes are up. It just doesn't feel right at all for her to suddenly give up, for seemingly no reason. Maybe she does have reasons outside of a wounded ego, but from what I've seen it doesn't seem likely.

[@user-pl5ds8iz6q]

If Ronda had trained like a warrior, instead of being an teenage emo crybaby and talking about killing herself on talk shows, she wouldn’t had 1/4 of the hate from MMA fans. Also, she NEVER should’ve fought Amanda as her first fight after such a long hiatus. She was also overhyped in WWE as well and sucked at pro wrestling. She’s gone from that now. Good riddance to bad rubbish! 😂

[@chrisbirch4150]

If nothing else, the Rousey era is a perfect example of human hype and hysteria. The worse you think Rousey is as a fighter now, the more the point applies. She literally went from being called the best ever, to someone who looked like she had never fought before. You could write a book dissecting everything going on around her for that 3 or 4 year period, from the media perspective, to actual talent, to the super fast evolution of the sport.

The knockout was tremendous and classic, but so was Joey's face right after. Every clip always shows that too!!!!

[@docholidayproductions]

Ronda was a hype job she had 12 or 13 wins. When she finally fought a fighter who knew how to move and box someone who wouldn't run straight at her to be thrown with a judo throw Rousey had no answer. Holm kept her on the end of the punches and continued to move and box going backwards this was the answer to Rhonda's Judo Style. It also doesn't help if you pay your sparring partners not to hit you in the face. That's what was going on with Ronda Rousey's fight camps. Not to mention the giant hype job that did not help Ronda Rousey either. Joe was a part of that hype job.

[@Lord_Bibulous]

Hype job? Of course she was. She was the reigning and undefeated Champion. She has to be hyped. As for the fight itself you're forgetting one thing. Rousey was also convinced she could box with Holm. So she wasn't even considering Judo until it was too late and her bell was rung. Rousey wasn't focused (no excuse) but it's the truth, and Holm had nothing to lose. But then Holm loses her next fight to Miesha Tate, who Rousey beat twice. And that's the circle of combat sports. Some people just have your number.

[@theflexitech]

That fight to me is a good example of when you are use to being able to bully your opponents with your own style all the time, and you resist the opportunities to prepare for when that style isn't optimal. They say that losing and learning from that experience is one of the quickest ways to improve, but to be able to understand what it is that will make you lose, and be ready to prevent such a thing, is what makes a truly great competitor.

[@Tripps2564]

Good point, but if you were Ronda in the middle of her dominant run, how would you or your trainer decide what are your weak points? They just didn't seem to materialize in a non-theoretical way until Ronda fought Holly.

[@charlifricker4774]

Rousey undoubtedly is extremely skilled and a pioneer. Never been a fan of her personally but like Mcgreggor, she knows how to sell a fight as well as her name. While the cameras are around she has a personal problem with her opponent. I get it from the business side but after the fight show some respect especially when the “beef” was as one sided as RouseyvsHolm. I agree with Joe and Nakamoto she was losing her shit at the end of her UFC career and it’s a shame she went out like that.

@Stephanie S because most cocky people are dicks in day to day life. So when they see cocky people on TV the relate them to the assholes they run into on the street, work or share a house with. I think people want to see humble with greatness not a bragger essentially.

[@SpinosaurusTheProudSocialist]

+Stephanie S They don't, people love Conor (don't get me wrong I do too) and he's cocky as fuck. I think a lot of men hate strong women who have confidence in themselves. Because it makes them feel insecure and they see it as a threat to their manhood. But they love cocky men because they like to live vicariously through them and deep down I think they want to be them. Or at least that's my perspective based on my impression of a lot of straight men, speaking as a gay man.
