When Ronda Rousey Was Humbled! Full Episode From The TDB Network..
Recap:
At a time when Mixed Martial Arts needed a star to carry the torch after the departure of Georges St. Pierre and the back to back defeats of Anderson Silva, the UFC turned to a woman to lead the promotion.
Ronda Rousey, a former Olympic bronze medalist in judo, became the UFC’s top star from 2013-2015. She won the Strikeforce bantamweight title in 2012 before being promoted as the UFC women’s bantamweight title following the Strikeforce-UFC merger. After that, she went on to have the one most dominant reign of any MMA champion, male or female. She was considered as the baddest woman in the planet.
But as they say, nothing lasts forever. On November 15, 2015, Rousey defended her title against Holly Holm in front of the largest crowd ever in UFC history at the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia. It was supposed to be just another easy outing for Ronda but a high kick to the neck floored Rousey and ended her dominant three year reign as UFC women’s bantamweight title. What followed was a serious period of depression that led to her contemplating suicide at one point. The loss was so deflating that Rousey made herself scarce to media and to the public eye for one year. Then she made her highly anticipated return against the woman who held the belt that once belonged to her.
But instead of getting redemption, Ronda Rousey got smoked by Amanda Nunes in just 48 seconds. She was unable to land a shot nor take Nunes to the ground. The Lioness dropped one powerful punch after another and gave Ronda Rousey her second straight defeat.
She later retired from the sport of MMA in 2016, got inducted into the UFC hall of fame then decided to make a run in the WWE.
Ronda Rousey hasn't competed in the WWE since her loss at WrestleMania 35 in April 2019 but seems to be enjoying life away from the limelight..

Just remember....when u think ur badass...there's always someone badasser
There’s no one more badasser than Chuck Norris though
Unless your Jon jones
@SSAVAGEEE Jon was scared to fight francis and is scared to fight Tom, so im not sure about that.
@@RedFox-ye1gyjon would submit ngannou just like he did to gane and if he fought aspinall he could potentially disable his knees for life considering they’re already broken and if you know jon jones you know he’s taking huge advantage of that unfortunately we are talking about a jon jones that looks like he ate dc and is basically 4 years retired since that 1st round submission barely even counts as being active prime bones would end both of their lives in the same night and if the fights were to happen i’d still put my money on jones
Life bro, life. 100%
Saying she could outbox Mayweather was pure comedy
Rite I dnt care how strong she is..she can't beat no man in the Ring they would hurt her seriously
@@crystalhellm9855 She was just in over her head😂
to be fair i dont remember her ever saying outbox. if i remember correctly(i could be wrong) she said she would demolish him in a fight. and she would. any professional mma fighter would demolish jr in a fight. in boxing he would demolish any of them, but in a fight he'd be demolished by rousey or any other professional.
@@sabin97 that is probably the stupidest take I have ever read
A lot of ppl thought could do that that but they find out the hard way
Ronda Rousey is the classic textbook standard that should be taught at all fighting school. "Let your fist do the talking instead of your mouth and stay humble".
Shut up, yeah I’m sure mcgregor would’ve accomplished just as much if he didn’t speak, shut ur idiot mouth
And fade off into obscurity like every other champion after her….okay.
@@VEGITAS4 Some champions stay humble and let their fist do the talking. She ate her words for breakfast after getting demolished by Holm
@@GabrielS94 she got to where she is now by not being humble and talking big and backing it up until someone shut her down. She’s the reason why there’s a women’s division in the UFC in the first place. That’s how you get to the top. Look at all the humble women in the division now. They couldn’t sell half the tickets she could. They don’t have the personality to do it. Like her or hate her you can’t deny the impact she made, and there hasn’t really been anyone that has risen to her level as a star. And no matter who beat her or who has the best record, none of them can say that they are the reason why they are in the UFC in the first place.
FUCK OFF WITH THIS HUMBLE BS
One of the most richly deserved humiliations in sports history. Ronda was insufferably arrogant with the concept of good sportsmanship completely foreign to her. I'll always be a holly holm fan for giving ronda what she deserved. Having said that though, knowing how much she suffered as a result of that loss definitely leaves me with no hard feelings, and i wish her well.
🎯
I’m way worse than you in that I enjoyed seeing how much she suffered after that. She hyped herself so far up, that fall from grace was just pure bliss for people like me. Then, watching her be organically booed by WWE crowds was the cherry on top of
I couldn't of said it any better.👍 I would never celebrate anyone's downfall, but Rhonda got everything that she deserved. So full of arrogance, as well as one of the biggest sore losers in the MMA sport. There was some talk of her returning? I hope to never see her again.

It really does. Strange how moments in time just end 😞

Now its the amanda nunes era
@@heavyrain5949 with one door closing, multiple other doors open. We got Amanda, Valentina, Thug Rose, Joanna, Weilli, and so many other exciting women fighters.We should always be thankful for Ronda opening up this door for everyone.

She absolutely deserved this humbling😂😂😂💓
Holly's KO of Ronda was like a shock to everyone at the time. Nunes's KO of Ronda was like a funny joke 😂😂
It was a helluva joke on Ronda! 👊😂
Rousey was a meme before the Nunes fight even happened.
@@GetBenched2010 she always was a damn joke. 🤣

So true.
In Amanda's case literally lol.
Facts! R.I.P 🥀
Could watch the knockouts allday, everyday. I watch all combat sports, but the Holly Holm knockout of Ronda Rousey will always be my favourite
It's something I have seen several times through my life not just in a ring. Bullies get more and more arrogant, but eventually get taken down, which is always a pleasure to see.
Esattamente 👏
Credit to Ronda for starting a female division... Then, a few years later, real fighters showed.
i think exactly the same, was just a matter of time
I disagree. She was a real fighter. She was really good but basically collapsed mentally after the Holly Holm fight. And just for good measure, Nunes sent her on her way for good. Her mind was no longer in the game after the Holm fight but if she were stronger mentally, could have made an amazing comeback. I don't think she would have been on Nunes' level, but certainly could have been competitive. Unfortunately, despite all the good she did, she is looked at as a cautionary tale in the history of mma. A massive rise and a massive fall.
@Clif Diggz for sure. Her striking was exposed big time. As was her ability to adjust and wrestle. She let holly lure her in only to get punched in the face so many times that I lost count. I honestly believe that if she changed her training/trainers and her head was in the game, she would have had continued success. I still don't think she'd be able to stop Nunes though. that bitch is good.
@@michealwoodcock8653 Ronda definitely wasn't in the category that you mentioned but she was still pretty good. Look at her record At least attempt to be objective here...
Ronda didn't start anything. She just looked the part, pretty and marketable. Gina Carano, and Cris Cyborg are the pioneers of women's mma. They put it on the map before Ronda ever showed up. Ronda just rode the momentum they already put in place for her.
“I want to retire undefeated” Holly Holm has entered the Chat.
She choked Holly out.
@@tonydancefit Misha Tate did not ronda
@@tonydancefit you sound stupid asf get your facts straight before talking
I remember the whole "she can beat guys" thing. Take an average man off the street who has a basic knowledge of fighting and she was knocked out in seconds.
Ronda was a legitimate combat sports athlete, at best, she's the perfect example of Right Place, Right Time.
I agree I don't think women's MMA would have advanced to the point and has without her But she wasn't the best she just was the first She Was definitely good no doubt but nobody had a combination to her judo and grapple game And she played it as long as she possibly could and what's a got exposed it was all over but yes she was the right person at the right time she had the looks the interview skills and cross over appeal that Nunez don't have Even though Nunez is one of the best MMA women in the sport ever She isn't as good looking as Rhonda and she can't speak clear English Which hold her back from getting the money and endorsements and crossover that Rhonda had she just happened to be the first one to dominate with a large spotlight on her and she capitalized on that and it worked at least for a while
Nothing wrong with going into the cage vs world class fighter & losing, anyone can lose but there is a problem when u act like a brat for the rest of your life
Guess you don't follow Ronda, the woman is pregnant married and the own there own bull farm, has definitely humbled herself from playing rolls in 2 different fight organizations.
@@justinheuring5948 yea these people are stuck on what happened five plus years ago. Ronda is a completely different person now and definitely lives a humble life out on a farm.
She used to handle her losses terribly, but she was able to eventually learn from that mistake. It all worked for the better now. She's doing her own thing, making money, and starting a family. She was a trailblazer for Women's MMA and I am truly thankful for that.
@@jc24445 Well as far as what she did for the sport at the time ya she helped in that aspect & only a fool would say otherwise but when you talk about the way she acted towards other ppl in the MMA scene she was a spoiled brat & when she finally had to face some adversity she acted like a little kid.. pretty much said if I everyone isn't gunna kiss my ass anymore I'm taking my ball home & leaving. Tainted her entire legacy
@@darindixon5342 she only got that great life now by being humbled
I'll always respect Ronda Rousey's skill, her fighting ability and accomplishments it's just her ego, attitude, lack of sportsmanship and sore loser cry baby behaviour that stunk.
She's an Overrated fighter
Really though, calling yourself an inspiration and being the most celebrated woman fighter in mma and just cause you lost one match you're thinking of killing yourself?! That's not inspirational at all
@@SalilRawatSaxena Such a defeat hits perfectionists harder than others. That one defeat is never to be undone, and it is an eternal eyesore on a current flawless career. The defeat made her lose her main goal, which she announced early on, namely to remain undefeated. Accordingly, she lost much of what she was ready to fight for. She also lost sight of what she had achieved for women in the UFC. But by now she will have recalled that into her mind. At least that should be enough inspiration. Each of us has weak moments in life and none of us tries to inspire others in these phases, but just to find a way to get out of them. With the second defeat it was completely over because she couldn't even see it as a one-time slip. Because she was at the top in the long term, defeats hit her harder. She then set herself new goals, which in her eyes were worth fighting for again. You don't have to like her behavior, but how hard she hits defeats and how she deals with it is up to her. In this case too, not all people are the same. You don't choose how hard something like that hits you, you just feel it.
@@Vulcannon yeah but you choose how you react to it. She was talking a lot of shit talking about she could beat Floyd when everything was going her way, she let it get to her head and built her whole self esteem off of it. Clearly she's an extremely insecure person. Once it hit the fan, she ran off and hid from the world. You cant control how you feel but you can control the reactions, if you're all smiles and talking shit when you're winning, you better be in front of those same cameras you were talking to acknowledging your losses as well.
@@cyberbron2077 she could probably beat floyd I an Mma bout though with kicks and submission locks
12:01 jon jones by submission got me weak for no reason 😂
I don’t watch ufc like that, this video just popped up and I was like “title sounds intriguing” and it was satisfying to watch 😂
My favorite Ronda moment was her shaking her head no to Amanda’s glove touch then proceeds to get the shit beat out of her for the rest of the fight 😂 classic
Yeah ! Classic ! It was a beautiful thing.full of shit- Rhonda got What she always has deserved.!
its easy to talk shi behind a keyboard, you'll get yo ass whoop too!
🤣🤣👌
I never got that. I think I remember her trying to come up with some weird last minute reason to hate Holly and it just came off really awkward.
that n holms beating
She was quite literally Dana’s “Cash Cow” for many years.
Just like Conor is. Khabib humbled him, and unlucky against Porrier.
@@Franck_Major_X Conor loves money too so hes gonna keep being a cash cow, unlike Ronda who’s fine with living on a farm milking cows
@@Franck_Major_X bro no one humbled anyone , every fighter knows when they fight , they have a chance of losing too .
@@varinyampandey3440 Hi, you must be new. Not Ronda. Ronda has bizarre emotional issues and legitimately could not take a loss. She's not a real prize fighter. Head jammed way too far up her ass to face reality.
@@ArcDevErik Just like that bum Mike Tyson right? He got humbled. He was never a real fighter just some loser who got exposed by Buster Douglas! 😆 Do you see how stupid that sounds? Ronda and Tyson both are legends of their respective sports. Doesn't matter if you like their attitude or not.
If Ronda would have been humble as she fought, and respected others, she would have broken a lot of hearts when she lost. Instead she was full of herself and disrespectful to others, and a lot of people laughed and was like it's about time when she took those L's.. Crazy..
When Holly duked Rhonda punch and went down, turned around, look like a drunken sailor on heels. Holly put on a clinic she spanked that little baby! So proud of her and so proud to have a Canadian champion with class. Everything about Holly is class.
I love the face off with Nunes ... Ronda is like "look how hard I seem", Nunes is quietly thinking "I'm gonna kill you"
Exactly, you can see the smile on nunes' face before they start fighting like in her head she's saying " cmon just let us fight, I aready know how this is gonna go"
I hate saying this because it's so over used but nunes seems to be getting better every time I see her, let me put it this way maybe it sounds better like this , I don't think Amanda has peaked yet she appears to seem more polished and seems to show us a little something more each fight ..
Loved watching Ronda get her arse kicked
@@killthahippie I’m right there with you. And it’s crazy to think the woman who dismantled Cyborg hasn’t peaked.
@@jsan8304 I will be honest I'm a big cyborg fan I picked cyborg .. thought Nunes had a chance but never saw her being cris once cris hit the swarm thought maybe she would catch her coming in, but felt like once cyborg swarmed it would be over .. and she sat in the pocket and blasted cris I was a little shocked
I will never forget that fight with Holly. I kept saying “I know ronda will probably win but I really really hope it is Holly”. Her bad attitude was so tacky and Holly has always shown respect. It was glorious.
It's a fucking role bro Rhonda played the bad guy if u took it that serious idk what to say
@@GrimReaper-uu2sq I read her book, her autobiography. I do not believe that was her playing a role. She truly thought she was hot shit. Also, I think her loses humbled her and she is more grounded now.
@@Athena124 in every sport ppl play a role so u think everyday all day she walks around acting like that?? Smh ppl do it for dramatic effect bro
Yes! Disgusting attitude!
@@GrimReaper-uu2sq I know this thread is old now, but no, people seriously do go around thinking that. When she was talking about how she had suicidal thoughts after she lost to Holm - that's because she attached her entire personality to the idea of being a champion. The best was never good enough for her. So when she lost, it genuinely shook her psychologically. in her own words from that Ellen interview, "if I'm not this, what am I?" She may have played up stuff for the camera, but I've no doubt after her reaction to being asked about her losses that she was at least 75% percent sincere, and actually a very fragile person, in a way.
People quickly forget just how dominate Rousey was in UFC. She was the shit for a good period. After she lost her first fight, ppl started to dump on her.
Bandwagoners, maybe. If you looked at the records going into the Holm fight the writing was on the wall: Rousey would lose to a half decent decent standup fighter. And such came to pass.
That's exactly what made that knockout so so sweet! No one likes an arrogant narcissist. That knockout was hilarious and her downfall was perfect. Everything she claimed about herself was false. She was a paper tiger that was consumed with self doubt and low self esteem hidden behind all the fake bravado. Her ending was what she deserved.
Just one, ONE defeat and she's thinking about killing herself? Jeez talk about weak minded.
i think she was arrogant to try to defeat a striker at striking. her advantage was in grappling, but it seems like she didnt even try. she just walked into exchanges with holm, and kept losing those exchanges.
A lot of male fighters are the same way and people love them for it
@@bajorekjon i love it when fighters who are as cocky as her get destroyed like she was. dont you?
Esattamente mi piace quando mancano di rispetto, convinti di essere i numeri 1 è dopo perdono malamente. Disciplina vuol dire rispetto dellarversaio. Dunque è bellissimo quando perdono è alla fine perdono tutti MALAMENTE!!!
She just never recovered from that fight with Holms
Wasnt even that she was always like this Loses just exposed it plus she was never going to beat Amanda upon returning
its very telling how fast she broke down it means she was always like that just hidding it from everyone els,its sad that she thinks she is nothing without always winning.
Even so.. thats amanda nunes. So she would lose either way
100% she never was the same.
It was dumb to take nunes first…..take a tune up opponent
Ronda is the perfect example of what happens when you think too highly of your skills and neglect the other parts of fighting MMA. Having a good ground game is great, but there’s just too many great strikers in the UFC. But you can tell so many other female fighters have learned from her mistakes
Actually you could argue that if she had stuck to her ground game and didn't have Edmund in her ear telling her she could knock out olympic level boxers, she might have kept stretching people.
@@ApeSapiens no. If you’re a one dimensional fighter nowadays, you won’t last that long. She had the benefit of being early enough where there wasn’t enough highly trained fighters in the UFC for women. Holly Holm isn’t the greatest female fighter, but she would beat Ronda everytime they fought. She can stuff takedown attempts, dirty box in the clinch very well, and her standup is light years ahead of Rondas
A grappler will beat a striker 90 percent of time, so why tf she started boxing with the elite strikers like she mike Tyson. Should’ve stayed true to her roots and submitted mfs.
It's crazy to think that during the prime Ronda-era and prime Conor-era Obama was still president. Can't believe it's been that long.
@@zackhicks5320 her coach also didn't help made her believe she could go toe to toe with the best strikers
9:46 Anytime anyone says Ronda Rousey, this is what pops into my head. Everytime. She really earned my respect with this sequence. This is some stone cold killer shit
Ive only seen pieces of her career, so this is full of context, thank you for that
I really enjoyed following Ronda Rousey during her career. The trick is when you are on your way up, it is just your style vs. their style. But when you are No. 1, everyone trains to defeat your fighting style. They focus on you more than themselves. At the top, everyone is custom-built to defeat YOU. And inevitably, someone does.
No one beat Khabib...
Had she continued to evolve....and got a real trainer she could have went further
Khabib walked away after only 3 title defenses…
i think that's good take.
@@ColbertandStewartpwn he wouldn't have retired if his father had not passed away. May his soul rest in peace.
I’d never wish Ill will against any fighter but I cannot express how happy I was seeing ronda get her ass handed to her by Holly and Amanda.
The only fighter toward whom I wish harm is Palhares. Anyone who consistently holds a submission as dangerous as a heel hook deserves to have it done back.
Me an my friends jumped of the couch screening lol
I've seen this. Gotta watch again; can't get enough of this bit-- get her ass handed to her. And the way she "handled" it- pure gold.😂😂
She still did what she did..She helped the UFC in more ways than most fighters have a chance too. She was never taught that losing was just a part of it, that's her biggest fault. She still had a HOF career. I was watching the night she got her head taken off by Holly and i even predicted it in my picks, i just never expected her to not know how to lose.
Hall of Fame 12 fight career 12-2. We should expect more from the Hall of Fame! 9 Armbars, one NICE knockout and two ass kicking that sent her packing never to return! HoF? I say no!
Exactly she was highly overrated, she was just one of the first few women to compete in the ufc, I don’t think she had a hall of fame career
part of the blame has to be shifted to her mother for putting such a high level of expectancy towards success and never embracing the possibility of defeat.
The best part is when Amanda nunes knew she wasn’t shit and wanted to show ronda that.👌
And then beat her ass for not wanting to touch gloves 🤣🤣🤣🤣
She got that street energy and out of a female too? Damn thats hot
She stole cyborgs fame and reward, but still she didn’t escape her comeuppance. She avoided cyborg at all cost…..
@@anthonymartinez4307 she knocked cyborg the fuck out?
Same way Buster Douglas knew Mike Tyson wasn't shit huh?
Lets thank her for paving the way for real fighters that beat the sh!t out of her.
Lmfao
People hate Ronda but she didn’t do anything other fighters have and she got scorned the worst. She was a dick but she was a champion like she’s not Paddy she actually was the best in the world during that time. Yeah the sport evolved and Ronda fucked up but she deserves her credit. You can hate her attitude but lots of these guys have shit attitudes. MMA fans are notoriously fickle and have 20/20 hindsight and when the see the unstoppable get stopped they immediately jump to fluke. The next gen coming in doesn’t invalidate the previous gen. She was the best in the world and elevated the sport in the mainstream.
The problem with Rhonda was that when she was the reigning champion she really WAS the best in the women's division. But then all the other women started getting better than her while she stayed at the same skill level. She didn't expand her moveset and thought she could go on forever relying on Judo Throws and the Arm Bar Finish. That Nunes fight made me sad because they said Rhonda was working on her striking, but she had 0 head movement in that fight and it made her chin such an easy target.
I used to cringe when they would hype her up to oblivion saying she's the best in a company that 2 years earlier swore they would never promote women. Interesting
“I’m going to retire undefeated” gets knocked the fuck out lol 😂.
As mike tyson says everyone has a plan till they get punched in the face.. or lol kicked.

Ronda Rousey: I will retire undefeated Holly Holm: Have you woken up yet ?
Ronda's biggest chance of coming back to reclaim her spot was a rematch against Holly but unfortunately Holly lost the belt immediately after the Ronda fight. Also Meisha lost the belt right after she got it to Amanda. Amanda was just too much for Ronda. Ronda never had to face Valentina or Cris cyborg who were also better than Ronda. She really stood no chance of reclaiming her spot and realised that after Amanda defeated her in less than a minute. She left the octagon, went home & returned all the calls & texts she'd been receiving from Vince Mcmahon
Kinda the same with connor mcgregor, he used to be such a badass now everyone is laughing at him lol
She dodged cyborg her whole career no joke
@@stephaniemarhevka8950 That's True. Ronda made excuses every time they asked her about Cyborg in interviews. Cyborg was always in the picture unlike the other fighters Ronda lost to eventually
Rhonda can walk back in there now and get a top 5 fight
@@kushsmoke273 Not quite the same. Conor is in the same league as the top, in terms of attributes he has what it takes to win (or at least he had, with the ankle it's another story. Poirer stated he still was a top contender). Ronda never was on the level of Nunes. After all nunes is the new generation so it's not a big deal, she was above everyone else during her generation but the next one proved to be way too much for her.
Her losing was one of my favorite sports moments ever, classless fighters going down is always the best
I must admit I loved it at the time and watched the fight over and over. It was mainly because Dana and everyone else was saying she could box Floyd Mayweather and easily defeat him with one hand behind her back. Then the way she treated Holly during the build up and how smug she was (I know confidence and self belief is part of being a fighter) and Joe Rogan crying every time she won and actin g like a cuck saying he was privileged, honoured and cherishing sharing the same air space as her. It was such a satisfying defeat in all regards
I agree 100% Rousey was a one dimensional fighter and never learned how to strike. As soon as a quality striker came along, with even a basic ground game Rousey had no chance. Her poor sportsmanship made it even worse. She went from being loved to despised over her career.
Absolutely, they've been hyped and pumped up so much....their arrogance is overwhelming then the get ohhh so humbled....thar ass whipping grounds them quick....you'd think mcnapper would have learned his lesson but it is what it is and I don't see him winning another fight....unless they "GIVE" him another Cerrone deal 😉
Say what you like but no woman has dominated UFC like she did and she is the only woman inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame. Without her, there would be no women in UFC.
I loved watching Holm beat the crap out of her.
Jim you hit the nail on the head. I completely agree that she was/is a great athlete. Her trainers should’ve focused on developing mental toughness in a way where she could get better from adversity instead of letting it crush her. Tons of storylines of athletes who had that disappointing defeat but then came back better than ever. She totally drank the Kool-Aid that was freely distributed that she was the best ever. When that harsh up call came, she made a beeline out of the UFC.
One of the biggest what ifs in MMA history imo... Imagine her training her whole career with the fellas at AKA!!!
Bad mentality makes a shit fighter
Ronda was such a sore loser that she ran up on Paige VanZant at a Reebok event and tried bullying her and threatened to whoop her ass. Reason: Paige congratulated Holly on her win lol. I loved watching Ronda get completely humiliated in front of the world.
Also Paige picked Holly over Ronda as well. Apparently later on Paige just said us girls are very emotional on another interview
@@timslee0618 Nah how Ronda reacted was ridiculous and not like other girls. Paige was just avoiding more drama by answering it that way.
@@miggs80 i agree. Paige was giving the PC answe
She really just asks for it and doesn’t learn
Ditto 100% I couldn't stand Ronda Rousey at all
She had a bad attitude toward every fighter she fought, arrogance that she could stand and strike with the best. Watching her fed to Nunes was the perfect retirement
Not every fighter just people that called her fake
ya tyson respect his opponents I saw one fight he knocked out a guy and the guy was falling out the ring and he(tyson) ran towards and he caught before he fell.
Almost as good as watching Mike Tyson get fed to Kevin McBride. Everyone knows Tyson was just a bum who couldn't box to save his life. Buster Douglas and Lennox Lewis exposed him. His skills were amateur at best. He was fighting nothing but cans until he met Buster Douglas! See how stupid that sounds?
@@Bella_Nekro you're right, you do sound stupid
@@tomconcannon6046 No argument i see. RIP
Still love her she opened mma to all kinds of people,especially women.When I saw her mention suicide on Ellen it broke my heart. I hope she had some good folks around her to love and support her. Rhonda has nothing to be ashamed of.❤😊
She wanted attention and couldn't handle losing you don't deserve praise for using suicide in such a disgusting manner Ronda was just salty not suicidal. She opened the door for women in the UFC however it was already female fighters in MMA long before the Rousey hype train.
Yeah I don't get why she gets so much hate even to this day. I mean I kind of get it, she has a huge ego, but thats no reason to actively hate someone you've never met.
I agree I don't think women's MMA would have advanced to the point and has without her But she wasn't the best she just was the first She Was definitely good no doubt but nobody had a combination to her judo and grapple game And she played it as long as she possibly could and what's a got exposed it was all over but yes she was the right person at the right time she had the looks the interview skills and cross over appeal that Nunez don't have Even though Nunez is one of the best MMA women in the sport ever She isn't as good looking as Rhonda and she can't speak clear English Which hold her back from getting the money and endorsements and crossover that Rhonda had
She also helped Judo to be taken seriously in MMA
E bello vedere perdere malamente i convinti, irispettosi verso il proprio avversario. Disciplina equivale rispetto,e quando non tengono rispetto è si sentono quelli che non sono e bello vederli perdere malamente!!!
There's an age old saying that stands as true today as it did during the times of the writing of the book of Proverbs "PRIDE COMETH BEFORE DESTRUCTION"
Pride cometh before the fall
@@Therealderry433 The original is "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
I learned this from Jimmy Neutron lol
The Bible
Pride comes before a fall.
I seriously believe that Ronda Rousey was trained, even groomed, and maybe even raised to have the mentality of a bully. She loved the hype train and to talk herself up and other people down, then just mentally folded as soon as she lost. She should be a cautionary tale for fighters, and, despite disliking her ego while times were good for her, I feel very sorry for her because I think she was let down badly by the people around her. I wish she had changed her team and tried again, rather than quitting, because she was/is an unbelievable talent
No you were just born and raised to have the mentality of a victim that's all that is that's why you see that as being a bully take it from somebody who grew up in Combat Sports okay karate wrestling amateur boxing if you do not have that kind of a mindset you cannot win you cannot succeed you will always lose in these freaking types of situations you'll just never win obviously you've never been in that situation and you're standing across the ring from a person that's trying to knock you out the whole thing is terrifying it is fear it's not exhilaration it's fear it's scary as f*** so you take all that fear and you turn it into rage and you turn it into Super confidence that just boils into arrogance then you take those f****** rains and you throw down and you f****** win that's what you do and I think that people just don't understand that so they see it as like oh my God she's a bully just watch the majority of the women that she's fighting they saying the same thing I know I'm going to win I'm the best in the world I'm going to kick her ass cuz I'm better than her at this I can do that and she's but she says it and it's like oh she's real pretty and she's hot and she's confident and we don't like that because what the f*** even though every single mother f****** male Champion like nine out of 10 or cocky arrogant mother f****** and we love it why can't a woman do it what's wrong with knowing you're good you're great she she for her time she was the best you know we should Tate and cats Gano or not slouches Michelle won the Bell
plenty of fighters have done that and are like that. Roy Jones, Mike Tyson, etc. It's interesting that so many people have an issue (or are surprised) that Rousey was like that (or McGreggor). It's not rare in the combat sports.
@@praywithoutceasing4939 the difference between conor and ronda is that when conor got his first loss in the ufc to nate diaz, he didn’t mentally collapse. ronda on the other hand FELL OFF BAD
Chael Sonnen hinted that it wasn't HER idea to walk away. And that it wasn't his idea to retire either...
Idk ab that, Ronda seems like she was obviously very insecure probably as a teen bc she appears “masculine” she talked a lot of shit about DNBs etc. yeah she’s a dick but the womens division needed a heel like her and she had real skills sure she was a specialist but the sport was like that for the first 10 years and it caught up w her fast.
Great video. Thanks 👍
I watched an awesome KZhead vid of a guy explaining what happened to Ronda and joana j and he said it’s not that they were bad fighters or got old, it’s that ufc wmma evolved! That was the best explanation that I’ve heard!
20:42 i always forget Holly pulls off that smooth ass duck under Rousey's punch. Besides the headkick that was the highlight for me.
Difference between an elite striker and someone who only looks good on the pads lol

Got some highlights for you here. Lol
I watched Ronda vs Holly at my friends house and all of his kids were in Judo, his older daughter went to college on a judo scholarship, Ronda posters in the bedrooms, etc. The entire house was going for Ronda but my wife and I have always hated her - just imagine my wife and I jumping out of our seats celebrating and the rest of the house completely silent. We haven't been invited back to watch another fight ever since 😆

wonder if the posters were replaced with Nunes

Rhonda was getting worse and worse. Everyone could have seen this coming! She was getting fat, lazy and did not advance her game to the next level. Move up or become irrelevant
Ronda and Matt Hughes are perfect examples of one dimensional fighters, now it’s pure mixed martial arts
It isn't the losses. It's the attitude. Glover just won the belt with 7 losses on his record. Go watch how he reacted to his losses and you'll see what it takes to be truly great. It isn't how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

The way she ran away as soon as she lost a couple fights. What a "champ".
she got in made a shit load of money and got out. more fighters should do this, but instead for many of them it's all they have in life.
@عبیدالله جان قندهاری ده خره زوی No? No sport should be put in front of your health. Most people should do this if they play dangerous sports like mma/box and others that need you to risk your life.
@@ThePunisher8814 Nahh! She could’ve just done what everyone else does and learn from losses but nah she lost once and got suicidal, then lost again and quit for good 😂 I agree about health coming first, but in my opinion she just left because she couldn’t keep feeding her ego after hitting a rough patch🤷
@Chime In Lmfao, exactly my point. A champ is not only about winning but also about how you face losses and overcome adversity. She just ran away.
@@octobeastX hahaha. Well i can tell you, she didnt felt like this. IF she never would had tried to come back. But to be honest... no one could win against this Roid Bullshit from Brazil that she lost the second time. And agsinst Holly Holm..... well... it was played well by her trainer. This Shithole :D told her she can box, what she clearly couldnt. All she had where her groundgame... and if she would have concentrated on this. I am sure... as weak as the womans sport is, she still would fight
Life Lesson learnt: How important it is to accept your loss in a positive way
Easier said than done but so very true
Dana White to Tyson “look at how good her hands are” 😂
What woodley said about ronda was the most genuine intelligent thing i think hes ever said, was shocking like a whole different Twood.on another note i wish she could have realised all of us have loses and failures in life one way or another and ronda was to hard on herself she was truly amazing. She brought such a high level of talent just needed some support.was sad to see her go. love me some rowdy ronda!
She seems like a trash human being tbh
I can remember when I loved Ronda, her fighting & just everything about her. But after i watched her horrible sportsmanship against people, i did a 180. Had zero to do with her losses but her attitude. If she'd had class all the way thru her career no matter what.... so many people would've continued to love her. She destroyed herself
@i know movie but i don't know movie name obviously
Agreed
100%
Man it’s so weird to see Ronda go from mean face badass bitch to a sobbing little girl on the Ellen D show. Reminds me of the film Whiplash when Fletcher subjugates Nieman - “Omg your not one of those single tear people are you? Do I look like a fucking rainbow to you?” 😅😅😂😂😆😆😂😅
"I'm never surprised at my wins" but cries at the end of every single fight.
Every time I see a fighter refuse to touch gloves in the middle I think about Ronda 😂
I saw all her fights un the Ufc, live, and all were spectacular. Si she was must see TV, the rest is history.
Joe Rogan said it best. When she was a fighter, she was at the top of her game. The moment she became a fighter/actress/this/that. Her focus was divide. So when you're going against fighters that are just fighters this is what happens.
Ronda was a gimmick, she did UFC a favor by making female MMA huge but when the "real" fighters started coming in, her time was up, she did her due diligence.
@@-smabros-4723 I strongly disagree !!! She did fight Real fighters. But she was on borrowed time with her trainer. She brought Judo in MMA wich was highly overlooked back then. Those fighters weren't not ready for that. The problem is that, she didn't evolved. Her trainer and her own ego made her believe that she could boxe, or even kickbox like a pro against the pros. Fighters like Holms quickly analyzed her strategy and adapted. Ronda and her trainer on the other hand, weren't worried, didn't analyzed Holly Holms fights. In fact I don't even think they watched her fights. At the end of the day when you are champion, you become the target and enemies are watching your every steps. And as time passes you'll get opponents who are READY for you. Same thing might happen to Amanda Nunes. That's how Good Champions upgrades the challenges and the levels of their sports. That also why she shouldn't and can't come back. Ronda's corner underestimated her opponent's hunger while Ronda was losing herself with pride and arrogance. Reminding me of what's happening to Connor McGregor right now. She is/was talented, but beside the bad management, her time has come and pass.
Except Conor McGregor is actually good. His striking and takedown defense were good enough to keep from getting taken down by grapplers and beating them in the stand-up. Ronda wasn't that great and fought way lower-tier competition than Conor. Notice how Ronda Rousey never fought Cris Cyborg or Gina Carano (the best female fighters at the time). Even Holly Holm was picked because she was expected to be a walk in the park. Conor fought good opponents at 2 weight classes and only lost to other outstanding fighters who could stuff his style. Khabib was the best grappler at lightweight and extremely dominant, Nate Diaz is a tough brawler with excellent cardio and high-level BJJ, Dustin Poirier is a great striker on par with Conor. The best opponent that Ronda fought with was Cat Zingano, and even prime Cat Zingano would get pieced up by the top 8 bantamweight females today. Ronda was a can crusher because the UFC wanted to use her as an icon. They knew she wasn't good enough to fight women with tangible skills, so they never signed Carano and pushed for women's featherweight for Cyborg.
Ronda's downfall was her commitment to GFC. Edmond is fraud and ruined her. He convinced her she was a boxer when she clearly wasnt. Had Ronda went to ATT or some reputable school after the Holly loss, she might have made a comeback. She still wouldnt have beaten Nunes but who does?
@@-smabros-4723 You are fucking ignorant, her prime was sth else
“She use to be a pure grappler, look how good her hands are now”~ Dana White😂😂😂 NEWS FLASH DANA EVERYBODY CAN LOOK LIKE A GOAT ON THE PADS WITH THE PROPER RHYTHM💯
truth. so much of looking good on pads is on the person holding them, you can make most people with a few months experience look like a champ and you can make a champ look like a wet noodle with bad pad holding.
Facts that’s what I was thinking too
This is why she fell off. Her boxing coach had her believing she was an elite striker lol
@@thegrayarea2225 she believed it herself, surrounded herself by yes-men. that's what happens
I’ve watched MMA for over 20 years. They stacked the division for Ronda. Straight up wrestlers/brawlers. Everyone who knew the sport kept BEGGING put her up against a legitimate striker who can keep distance not just grab or clinch. First time it happened with a super inexperienced fighter she got outclassed. They milked her for all she was worth before actually testing her
Ima minute into your work and you came with that Sotd. Sold my good man I am Sold
Rhonda played her role beautifully. She became that villian that everyone wanted to see get beat.
The thing is she should have came back even stronger and picked herself up right after if she wanted to be known as one of the best
@kennyroberson6216 she didn't have the skill set to do it. A lot of fighters were coming in with a good stand up game. She tried to come back, but girls like Amanda Nunez were waiting.
she was a star she had ability but she didnt have the right guidance or people coaching her she did what she did with virtualy no coaching because if you call that person an mma coach hes not so imagine now if she had a different team all playing parts to help ronda in mma like a grappling coach a legit stiking coach a muay thai coach a conditioning coach n proper coaches who recognise that the advanced levl judo is her strong point to always play to that she been undefeated for ages is my belief
@@dalroache you might have hit the nail on the head with that one.
It was so crazy watching her downfall in real time. She was the biggest thing in the world, and then she lost it all.
Not all surprising though. She was good when the sport for women still was small and she didn't had equal competition. Once she had that with the likes of Holm and Nunes it showed what a flawed fighter and character she was. She was nothing but ego and one of the most arrogant fighters in UFC history. But she couldn't keep up once she had real competition, that's why she came down so quick
The marketing was great until she was tested.
She's still a rich, famous, healthy, and successful proffesional athlete, I wouldnt say she lost it all.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
she needed to learn to be humble but she believed in her own hype because she was beating every one easilly it went to her head and i dont think that alleged coach helped as he dont know any kickboxing or mma his a self professed boxing coach but ronda needed people who knew sport of mma....that is a text book lesson on what happens if your not humble...stay blessed😀
Her story never fails to cheer me up.
But you are still a loser.
When you treat people like crap all the way up the ladder of success and then fall from grace as we all do people will celebrate your demise. Life lesson be humble in your victory as well as your loss and people will be genuinely supportive in both cases.
After the lost to Holly, I felt that Ronda's team didn't really analyze her lost, what were her strengths, what were her weaknesses? On the next fight there were many times she frozed, it felt like it was a sign of lack of confidence and adaptability. That is the issue with always winning, you get complacent and you expect things to be easy, and adaptability goes down the gutter.
Her downfall was before the Holm fight. Ronda was done when her sparring partners were told not to hit her in the face so it wouldn't get in the way of her modeling and endorsements. At that point, training became secondary to the hype machine. You can't half ass train for professional fighting. Add to that Edmond was a horrible coach who really knows nothing about fighting and you see why she didn't evolve with the sport. Had Ronda switched up her training, brought in a legit striking coach and forgone some of the media circus....the TV show and movie cameos.....she could have beaten Holm and probably been competitive with the likes of Nunes and Valentina.
Holly was surgical with her striking and Rousey looked out of shape. It was just her time. Her ego took her into deep waters and she couldn't swim.
I put a lot of her failure on her coaches as much as her. They never taught her how to strike. She had rudimentary boxing skills at best. Arrogance was her biggest problem besides being a terrible striker.
Losing and winning is a part of game. But how she was trying to humiliate holly holm and her arrogance towards her fellow fighters is beyond forgiveness. And she was only good at ground game. So she was not a complete mma fighter. When you win and when you lost it shows your true character who you really are. When she was winning, she was arrogant. When she was losing, she became a cry baby. That is not how a fighter should behave. She was just an over hyped, over confidant, loser mind girl.
I think they hyped her up into believing she was a striker. If she stuck to her bread and butter, I don't think she would have been Knocked out so many times. She didn't get knocked out going for the takedown, but instead trying to bang. Clearly doesn't have a strong chin
If anyone or anything was ever over-hyped, it was Ronda Rousey after 10 damn fights. "sHe cAn bEaT MaLe FiGhTeRs aNd FLoYd mAyWeAThEr!!". Bringing Mike Tyson in "look at how good her hands are" lmaooo. Her humbling is one of the all-time great things about the UFC and MMA period.

The point isn't that she lost. It's that she looked pathetic as she lost. Unprofessional and sloppy to be precise. Yeah she was great for marketing Women UFC but GOAT? Naah! Her arrogance gets old really fast for a lot of people's taste. Nunes? Yes, that's some serious talent.
Joe Rogan crying in the octagon is fkn hilarious now 😂 love seeing Ronda get knocked out
After her loss to Holly it was very clear how much of Rondas mystique was media generated. Mike tyson showering her with "praise", her going on the ultimate fighter and submitting male participants, etc. Her armbar is wicked, but holly was the first legit striker she faced. She was also very weak mentally so she could never analyze her losses and close the holes in her game.
Holly saiid something very prophetic before their fight; she said"nobody ever hit her hard enough to knock her off her game..." well, Holly did, and look what happened! Amanda brutalized her when they fought (of course Amanda...) As much as I really liked Rhonda, she was up against some major fighters and couldn't compete at that level
It’s NO surprise that the OVERRATED Mike Tyson heaped praise on Rousey.
If you knew what it takes to actually stand across from someone in an octagon , you wouldn't refer to any fighter as mentally weak . Majority of the population would be literally shaking with piss running down their leg with half the pressure and danger
I remember the Holly fight I knew Holly would be the one to defeat Ronda. I seen her background & she was a ex boxer, ex kickboxer, has outstanding ground game. She was the better fighter. No one believed me when I said Holly would win. But when the fight happened I remember me calling it. I told everyone Holly would stop ronda & that’s exactly what happened. I did my predictions based on skill & the way Holly was emotionally in control. Ronda was a hot head & she got humbled .
Rhonda's boxing was bad, she was easy to hit. Holm and Nunes out-boxed Rousey.

I think it’s a mixture of both when Ronda first started fighting nobody was really on her level but as time progressed you found female fighters that had trained their entire lives to beat women like her
Credit to the makers for slipping quickly into the Holm chapter. No narration, just footage. Great artistic choice by the filmmakers !!!
Damn i can't believe that all her previous opponent before Holm didn't see the hole in her striking. What she does is she make it look she is going to strike, then clinch and take you to the ground. Then finish you there. What Holm did was beautiful, never wanted any part with the clinch. Just keep it standing.
Because before holly ronda was the only fighter in the women’s class with superior skills in mma.
Because majority of the competition she fought were Grapplers/wrestlers....Holly was the first pure striker she faced

Dude, have you seen the stare off between the two? There is size difference.
Amanda is huge in terms of her back and triceps which are the best for stand up punching
"She's" not born XX like other women. Note the finger to the lips "Shoosh" symbol after she pummeled RR (she knows something you don't know). But still very satisfying to see egotistical, immature bully like RR get famously beat down.
I could watch the replay over and over again
Amanda Nunez was the reason RR retires and she's scared to come back. Also Amanda it's a Champion of Champions in 2 different weight classes and she defended both belts, something RR will never even imagine to dream. All hail The Lioness!! 🔥🇧🇷❤️🇧🇷🔥
