Shut up Rhonda. You're saying that you could not speak out. You could have. You were just having too much fun with the attention and the millions. If you said that you could not speak out then we would have to believe that you were Elvis Presley and Dana White was the colonel and that you're in a very restrictive contract and had no personal agency over yourself. That's messed up if it's true, but we know it's not. You could have walked off at any time. You just wanted to try to have your cake and eat it too. Defeat everybody and hope for the best that no brain injury symptoms would come to you that you were some supernatural being who with a little bit of training would be untouchable no no one's untouchable

Who do you think had more concussions/head trauma in their life? Ronda or Holly? I'm gonna go with the 19-time boxing champion over the judoka. The difference is that the boxing champion respects her opponents in victory and defeat and Ronda doesn't - that is why she has the haters she does. People would react a lot differently if she didn't boast about being the greatest and make excuses instead of giving Holly and Amanda their dues. Also - just FYI - those "concussion symptoms" she is talking about? It's called getting punched in the face. It happens to everyone.

[@Kaylanisprofessorcygnus]

I remember when I was little, I really looked up to Ronda rousey, and I learned about her entire life, and even watched the videos of her parent explaining her life, that was before her fight with holly. I really enjoyed the techniques, that she would utilize. Her parents put her in judo classes when she was really little . I seen that majorly inspiring, that she was just so strong through all of that, and she had a focused mindset to strategize techniques, it was not about fighting and punching people, it was more about technique than anything when it comes to Rhonda. I was very upset to hear that she had concussions, but the doctors are saying that they see nothing, it's like hello if she experienced that obviously something is there. I had concussion syndrome as a child, it took me years to recover from that, I pray that she will recover if she does have concussion syndrome, it definitely does sound like that, when she says that it got so bad that a person would just slightly touch her and she would get dizzy. I am amazed to see her progression, of how she looks, she looks a lot more nurtured. Her face looks very filled in, and her bone structure has definitely formed more together, I was watching her around 2014-2015, so this is amazing to see her updates, I am so glad that she can focus on her health, and even express about that in her new book.

So......these concussions ONLY had an effect when you lost? My respect for her just vanished. The truth is that she finally faced some real fighters and realized that she wasn't as great of a fighter as she was claiming to be. If she would have been honest about that, my respect for her would have grown. Anyone who believes that bullshit excuse, needs psychiatric evaluation.

[@baldboss7359]

Exactly!!!

[@michaelblion7896]

@rebeccahoffman4769 But she waited until now to give us this "revelation"? She's giving excuse after excuse. She lost because really competitive and more accomplished fighters began to enter the UFC. Harsh reality crushed her inflated ego. Now, she's blaming the media. She's completely dedicated in avoiding responsibility. She got beaten to a pulp by 2 fighters that were true fighters and she wasn't in their league. She knows that, but she refuses to be honest with us and most importantly, herself.

EXCUSES

[@leonardhill4440]

All of a sudden it’s all about Ronda’s concussion history like no other fighters deal with major issues and all these years later she still just can’t accept the reality that the sport she was in just simply caught up to her. I can 100% guarantee if she won against Holly and Amanda we would never hear anything about her “concussion” history. I used to like her until I seen how pathetic she became especially on Ellen. Poor little rich girl.

[@bacarochinchillamanuelalbe8183]

For me she was fine as a performer in WWE, but they were 2 big problems: 1) WWE’s terrible booking of her character and storylines, especially in her second run. 2) Her obsession of always winning, wich made her freak out when she lost, even if it was scripted. Only time will say if she is gone for good or if she returns. You definitely cannot say “never” when it is about WWE. Just look at CM Punk.

[@combatspeed6392]

The only thing that was bad about her booking is she was pushed super hard when no one really wanted to see her. Her character tried to act nice and humble when the world knows she's anything but. That being said the booking couldn't do anything for her horrible acting skills. She wasn't awful in the ring, but it's prowrestling and quite frankly that means very little.

[@JayTheDodo]

All this seems concocted after the fact. I think she's trying so hard to make excuses for her losses because she can't accept that she lost to better fighters on the night. Most fight fans aren't going to care that you lost, however they will care how you lose and Ronda is just a poor loser. No one is saying you have to be happy about losing, just show the respect that has been earned by your opponents. I don't buy her concussion excuse one bit, Liddel, Overeem and Fedor now that's what happens when you sustain multiple concussions, you just get touched on the chin and you go to sleep. Ronda actually had a good chin and took shots that would have put many other women to sleep. She wanted so badly to retire undefeated and when that wasn't possible, she couldn't and still can't cope with it, so these weird and weak excuses keep coming out.

[@AshuriAurora]

Concussions don't always knock you out. I don't know about how easily she said she gets them now, but no, concussions don't always put you to sleep. I fell on my face (impacting my forehead and nose). Didn't lose consciousness, but I got a concussion. Just an example of concussions that don't knock you out.
