she would have been fine and well respected and a legend had she not had such bad sportsmanship!
Dana White is an idiot! He said she would “ragdoll” Floyd Mayweather. That was before the 134# Holly Holmes knocked Rousey out. White could have applied his experience fighting a woman (his wife) as a reference for how well women do when they try to fight men.
Yeah her Ego was starting to get to me. if she had more Humility wouldn't hit her so hard.
BIG TIME sore loser, she is.
Agreed! That’s why that loss was so devastating. I respect Rhonda for being a pioneer but in the end she was a paper tiger. A true warrior learns about indomitable spirit & about getting back up & facing adversity.
@@jacobkubacki2719 I believe Gina Carano was the one who grew the womans divisions popularity. She was the first hot fighter to rock the women division. Which started building its attention and popularity. She was more of striker then submission artist. Ronda only went further because she refused to fight the steroid junky Cyborg unlike Gina Carano. Gina was everything better then Ronda, she was humble and true skilled brawler. She didn't have to rely on arm bar submissions. Gina didn't even have any blood or marks on her face or was even knocked out by Cyborg. She just lost because she guarded too long. Which was one-sided fight anyway, fighting someone who had took alot of steroids. Which was not very difficult to see by just looking at the Cyborg.
Holmes completely broke her soul,and after that knock out proved how tough she really wasn’t
Like Mike Tyson says "Everyone's got a plan until you get punched in the face".
Very true on so many aspects
Wasn't all her fault. She had a nobody for her striking. Watching her I always kept saying her chin hasn't been tested. It's MMA. She needs to be well rounded. Her ego did get heightened from her lame striking coach. It also was the UFC and Dana's fault. You don't put someone who got knocked out by head kick a title fight as her first fight coming back. Especially fighting Amanda Nunes which was a savage and the G.O.A.T . I think she could have been a great fighter if she better more honest people behind her in her training camp. Dana is a user as well. He only likes you if your brining in money and are what he likes to call a needle mover. He will drop you like a bad habit if your not making him money. Look how fast he dropped Ronda when she lost, not only to Holly but Amanda.
@@mavrick62910 At that point she lost her drive for it and was phoning it in. With movies coming out and other things in her life happening she wasn't remotely focuses on fighting. Well getting beat always sucks i don't think she really cared much by then and her focus had moved on.
@@magnus33john that's true.
Who remembers when they said that she can beat Floyd Mayweather 🤣😂
Bro sue would rag doll Floyd 😂 hip throw arm bar. Done.
Exactly what a 🤣
She probably could fuck up Floyd in a fight .. ain't no referee to say break break keep it clean .. quick osoto gari Floyd's tiny on his back just been smashed off the concrete head first.. then he's fucked Olympic level grappler ontop of him could snap all his limbs after he's been choked out honestly my money 💰 would be on Rhonda just bouncing him off the ground in seconds then Floyd's no chance he's a tiny guy and a whitebelt lying on his back with someone that's grappled with men bigger stronger people since they were a child.. street fight Floyd's going flying through the air his heads hitting concrete before he knows what's happening he's got a Olympic level judoka ontop of him doing what she's done since she was a kid throw and submit people.. Floyd's got to get close to throw a punch and boxers don't relise how fast Olympic level grappler someone that's lifes been about grabbing someone quickly and bouncing them of the matts them trying to snap there arm or choke them unconscious 🤷 Floyd's got no takedown defence and isn't a tall guy long reach .. 🤔 yeah Floyd would get put to 😴
@@dbo4506 She got outboxed by a real boxer Holly Holmes before the final blow. Ronda's style would only work against flat-footed fighters. All it takes is just a clean check hook and its over for Ronda.
In mma , maybe
Holly Holme gave her a wake-up call! Loved it!
Not sure I’d call that a wake up anything…
Rhonda down fall was her pride. In life, in everything you do there will be someone better and someone worse than you.
To this day the best thing I've ever seen in MMA!
Than Amanda Neunes destroyed it.
Yeah cocaine and MMA don't mix. Just look at Conor, lol.
Ronda is a case of Don't ever believe your own hype. She became so delusional she actually thought she could beat Laila Ali and began calling out Floyd Mayweather. Part of the ones to blame would be Dana White and Joe Rogan. Desperate to make the same numbers boxing does, they overhyped Ronda into the stratosphere, to the point they were already outright insulting the intelligence of sports fans
Floyd Mayweather? Would he be allowed to punch or only walk and breathe?
@QuikkNic Its offensive that the media would seriously ask a stupid question like this to Mayweather. Now what athletic commission would allow a combat sport event happen between a man and a woman?
@@Ironheart73 if Ronda identifies as a man there shouldn’t be any problem. First time I would approve of something like that
@QuikkNic Ironically Joe Rogan wanted the fight to happen although believing that men should not compete in womens sport
@@Ironheart73 well I am actually not against it in general but you have to keep in mind that a man can cause serious damage to a woman’s cranium with heavy punches, like really bad
For someone who was meant to be such a dominant, mentally tough, unbeatable champion, it only took one loss to knock her off her pedestal and make her quit the fight game entirely
Two, but yeah Holmes and Nunes both destroyed her. It was only a matter of time before someone could stop her takedowns and well her stand-up was shit.
@@owens945 I hadn’t forgotten about Nunes but what I meant more so was she was never the same after the Holly loss, like had she beaten Holly she may not have been so punch shy against Nunes, although I’m sure Nunes would still have beaten her, it may not have been as bad it as quick tho
How dare you talk about Mike Tyson like that? Oops never mind
Not a warrior, in the sport of warriors….. quitter more like it
I wouldn't necessarily say that because if you look at the past most fighters went downhill after a first loss, especially if it was a KO. What amazed me about Ronda is how long she lasted, but I also felt she was protected from major strikers too with decent ground game. Ronda was a cash cow, so I felt they all rode her and protected her as much as possible, but where the other women evolved in the sport Ronda didn't, she really needed to work on her hands and I bet she let her cardio slide at the end because she believed in her hype too much.
The sport just caught up to her. She couldn’t strike and when she couldn’t get them on the ground she had no chance. She also made an ass of herself when she coached TUF.
I love how she made jokes about karate on joe rogan, then caught a head kick!
Armbar was her only move that was her downfall she couldn’t punch
I agree her trainer even said he could out box a real boxer 😂
Couldn't punch? What the?? R.R. was a renowned striker.
@@michaelpamphilon7513she was a terrible striker, as the video shows, she's purely arm bars
She's a one-trick pony.. if any male competitor constantly won only by armbar submissions they would be laughed out of the UFC definitely not called a champion
I never saw her even knock an opponent to the mat one time. She punched like a mad redneck chick in a bar fight.
This footage of Rhonda getting what she deserves is priceless !!!!!
She's a millionaire and never has to work again......If that's getting what she deserves, then sign me up!
Wow. She lives rent free in your hate filled mind.
@@davidunderwood4341 I make no apologies in enjoying Ronda getting her comeuppance. So say whatever you want to say, I'm gonna keep enjoying karma getting served.
The problem with being at the top is that you're a target, and everyone studies you so it gets harder and harder to win.
Thank you Holly Holmes for the knock out seen all over the world and Amanda Nunas for completing the end of Rhonda R! Love watching those wins!
Amen To That If She Couldn't Get The Arm Bar Her Winning Percentage Dropped Big Time To Like 20 Percent She In All Reality A One Trick Wanna Be LoL Glad She's Gone ✌️
"Ronda Rousey was undoubtedly a pioneer for women's MMA" ... WRONG, that honor goes to Gina Carano
Only among dedicated fans. Casuals got more exposure to Rousey because MMA got more exposure over time.
They are both pioneers. You people that call people casuals say it as if your intelligence is far superior. It is not. Get over your average self.
@@DagwoodDogwoggle oh my look people we got a badass over here lol
@@blake-nw4pd for real
@@SINdaBlock411 they don't know what pioneer means. They probably think Royce Gracie is the only pioneer for men fighting in the UFC. To them you would have to go back to the recorded fight for entertainment.
Ronda is too freaky arrogant and she ended up going to fake wrestling
Real talk. I love professional wrestling but her going out of the UFC to staged fighting seems like she’s there only to feel like a winner. Obviously wwe is gonna push her because she was an ex UFC fighter, but it seems pathetic because she left like such a loser.
@@atunez2190 which is weird if you ask me because WWE never did that with Ken Shamrock.
Holly showed the World she was a fake fighter so it makes sense
she ended up going to where she made a ton of money, as you or I would so sit down
Cringe comment. Not a WWE fan but it's scripted, not fake. Unlikely you or I could do what they do.
Working on your goals is very important but working on yourself is a must.
Once Ronda achieved high level in ufc she became so arrogant.Because of this, She was trolled and lost huge amount of respect. even two loose should not effect even little to her mma carrier and it should not be end of her mma carrier (Actual Sports) but she lost her confidence and got high stress by two defeats because People didn't support and courage her. As we all know about Conor McGregor. He is also very arrogant and do very misbehave some times but I feel we can see he also has very soft and gentle nature at place of his heart. So Once he faced some losing fights in spite of that he don't loose heart and even people troll him he came back, perform well because of his positive nature at some place. This empower him, I feel but Unfortunately Once Ronda achieved high level in mma She became very arrogant and loosing place of gentle, polite and humble behavior in her heart. At last I must say that Ronda should realise that she was doing wrong and She should prove her as good human being and It is also goal of true sports (MMA not WWE., wwe is like a drama) which gives us strength to became a good human.
Conor had a good career but he's the type who loses focus and gives in to his vices if he doesn't have somebody reining him in. He's got (or at least had) great natural talent but not the personal character to properly focus it. From 2016 on, he's not even a .500 fighter anymore (he's 3-4 in his last 7 fights going back to the beginning of 2016). He hasn't fought since 2021, he's 35 with a serious hole to climb out of. He's not coming back.
@@Skank_and_Gutterboy Yeah, you're right. Would be stupid for him to come back now. he blazed his own path for a good while till the reality of the sport set in (it doesn't take a break because you do). plus that last leg break, whatever gear he's on now, and the Hollywood money plus whatever diversified income he has, he'd be stupid to at this point.
😮 At first, I was interested and liked Ronda. I like to see her grappling and take down her opponents. But she eventually got cocky and arrogant and that was when I started rooting for her opponents.
no one cares, this ins't all about you
spot on,
@@slowery43your right. It’s about Ronda and that’s who he is referring to. Not himself
She looks like she’s cosplaying as Kane from WWE in the thumb nail 😂
Always be humble.People support you on the way up and when you hit "that" losing streak.Lesson.Stay humble.
She is worth 14 million dollars at 36 years old. Not a bad place to be in life.
Nunes was a cyborg , her career was impeccable
wasn't it her attitude that caused her downfall?
Yes, it did. Her WWE career followed since she didn't know how to handle criticisms.
@@josecarlosramolete6109 which is why nobody even wanted or even asked for her to return in 2022 and even AEW fans don't want her if Tony Khan brings her in.
Dana jumped over Cris Cyborg who actually led woman mma. Ronda was given smaller girls to beat and over power. Once fighters in her actual weight squared off, you see her strength being neutralized. So her red carpet to popularity makes her only a fighter with a paper made championship. Same for Mcgregor once they fight their real weight class they got obliterated. I’m sure if I was an eight grader I could beat all elementary comers.
wtf are you talking about… Connor walked around at 165 Dustin who he beat at 145 walked around at 180 as 45er and 190 at 155. Connor is a small 155er. Most of the dudes at 55 are between 180-190. He was never over 170. Rhonda too fought girls her own size. But her judo was Olympic level and the girls divisions were weak af. So yeh she minced everyone with hip throws and arm bars. Her down fall wasn’t fighting bigger fighters. That’s just a load of BS. Her downfall was her coach convincing her she’s a boxer and she knocked out that one Brazilian chick and thought yeh in Floyd. So tried to box holy and nunes and got minced. By your logic Khabib never fought in his own weight class. Usman never fought in his own weight class. Pretty much every except for Colby masvidal and a few others have ever fought us at at their own weight class.
I agree, this Anthony dude is just hater and doesn't got his facts straight. He's talking a bunch of BS, probably just a troll😅
Absolutely correct the only reason Connor or Rhonda got so well known is because Dana likes them there are sick compilations of Dana just drooling over Rhonda. wouldn't be surprised if she paid that piper, if you know what I mean
@@justicekrista5665 Dana drooling due to amount of $ those 2 brought in. You can't honestly believe they wouldn't have been well known own otherwise with their win/loss records at the peak of their careers... You're just looking to get a reaction from people who liked watching their fights. I bet you weren't talking like that 5 yrs ago when they were dominating their divisions. You were probably as anxious to watch their fights as the people forking over the pay per view $$ Ebmven if you wanted to see them lose, you still wanted to watch them fight!!!
@@justicekrista5665 You sound like you have the logic and intelligence of a 9 year old. I always wonder if its painful to be as stupid as you. . .but thank god I don't know.
She was amazing in her time. The sport just evolved past her skill set. She definitely set the bar for women in mma. She was not a joke or a quitter. I think getting beat in 45 seconds made her realize that she couldn't compete at the level anymore. She also had other more lucrative options to make money.
She was a flash in the pan with one move, an arm bar, in a sport that utilizes ALL aspects of ALL martial arts. I can't believe she got by with it as long as she did.
She was never amazing!!! She didnt set the bar for womens MMA in anyway. She was a basic paper champion. Dana took advantage of her to make money thats all that happened!!
@@robertfrapples2472That the same with people who have just a knock out move. If it works then it works.
@@jaya2534this is the dumbest take ever.. People got interested in female mma because her for God sake she was dominant defended her belt multiple times she was literally the first mma female superstar ...but all good things come to an end nothing last forever.. that doesn't mean you should shit on her legacy
Yep, it was exciting watch her dominate. But her striking was amateur and she couldn't take a punch. Bad combination when fighting an advanced striker like Holly Holm or Amanda Nunes.
She could’ve bounced back if she humbled herself and took her loss on the chin. She left like such a loser and it’s sad because she was a legend. Now she’s a has been failure who took the easy route to feel like a winner.
real champs can take defeat with honor and dignity. Ronda literally did not even want to show her face at the airport
she needed to have started off at an actual good gym with an actual good trainer, pretty much every fighter that went to go train over there went on losing skids, but her success kept ppl there when they should’ve left or never started training there to begin with.
Joe was saying in his podcast that she could be Cain who was the heavey wieght champ at that time lol
She could have worked harder, trained harder, learned from her mistakes and came back a better fighter. Instead, she lost her confidence, her personality and heart. That’s where meisha Tate and holly holm shine. They are true fighters. I really liked Ronda too. I wish her luck.
She’s nothing without that arm bar and head and arm throw
She has more than that. Remember she fought in the UFC.
"her Striking ability?" I don't know what you're on, but I want some.
Shes the perfect example of how someone cant recover from having their ego crushed.
I am forever grateful to Holly Holm for battering her to the point where her confidence was forever shattered. she was a one trick pony
Both she and Dana have become jokes.
Don't forget Joe Rogan....He's always been a clown, then he 'Roided up and re-invented himself as a podcaster to the ignorant - "pull up that video of a polar bear, eating mushrooms inside a UFO"
@@charles1964 GOOD ONE Chuck!!!
Dana has been a joke for decades
Its the fight GAME. Entertainment. Get it.
@@awilliams5007 The kick delivered to Rhonda's sure didn't look like entertainment.
Arrogance is low frequency material
Rosey - holm was the fist fight I watched... then mcgregor-Aldo was the next month. After those 2 fights ive been an addicted fan
The biggest problem with her were the delusional thoughts of boxing skills delivered by her coach and abandoning her judo and jiujitsu. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. -and if you’re not good at something, find a coach that tells you!
Media hype blew her head up, it was absolutely ridiculous how much undeserved press she got from 2012-2015
Nobody cares about her anymore
I agree with you because WWE Fans didn't even want or asked for her in 2022, not even those AEW Fans want her if Tony Khan signs her.
Nobody cares about who anymore ??
White calls her a joke bx he gets pissed off when a ufc fighter makes a paycheck
She an Olympian, Rich, and only has 2 losses in mma... Yeah, not a bad "downfall"
Ronda won an Olympic medal in judo, won and held an ufc belt, for now a bunch of nerds to call her "a joke". Joke is on you, folks.
She was a horrible example of a champ. That’s the root cause of the enjoyment of her fall
@@karltinson5327 Most guys think all women UFC fighters are horrible........I'm not sure why.
@@down-the-rabbit-hole I’m not sure about whatever you’re talking about either. As I was saying, Ronda was a poor example of a champ. Do you recall her refusing to shake Cupcakes hand after she beat Cupcake? Same for Holly? Same with Beth?
@@karltinson5327 well one of those handshakes she was waiting for an apology from that person that she never got. And she even said she can't shake someone's hand after never apologizing for some comments towards rousey.. I can't remember which of the fighters it was.
Downfall? She’s literally a multi millionaire making millions in the wwe danas just mad his fighters are underpaid
Bottom line, Gina had a good career. Nothing is infinite. Rhonda had a good career. Nothing is infinite. Gina was beat down by manborg , i knew that was her last fight . Rhonda beat herself in the holmes fight . She never recovered from shell shock.
I always thought once she lost one time she would unravel. Kinda like Mike Tyson after prison
Ronda undoubtedly made a huge impact on the sport-absolutely. Personally, though, I wasn't a fan of her fighting style. It seemed like she excelled mainly against opponents who weren't as physically strong and relied heavily on her armbar technique. However, when facing more formidable opponents like Holmes and Nunez, she struggled and got destroyed. While winning is the ultimate goal, I appreciate seeing a broader range of skills in a fight. Nine of Rhonda’s twelve victories were by armbar. Nonetheless, Ronda's presence did contribute positively to the sport, leaving it in a better state than when she entered.
She is talented at winning a bronze medal in wrestling in the Olympics. And that's why she always went to her go to the armbar. And won many bouts with signature move. But when faced with Holly Holmes who was a kickboxer, literal stand up fighter she as Joe Rogan said, "got lit up"
@0:33 looks like ronda bout to take a piss or something 💀
Dana white needs to let someone else take over as he uses fighters for there money and then when they lose a couple of time gets rid of them
Business is all about money.. Every corporation uses people to make money, and will quickly replace you without thinking twice.. Every employee is expendable in the eyes of the elite who run the corporation...
Her support staff let her down. "Rhonda... You can't stand toe to toe with Holm. She will rearrange your face." See... That's not so hard. Bring in a number of male boxing specialists and practice defense again them and getting them to the ground. Not a difficult recipe for success.
Nobody likes suffering any type of defeat but most of us just brush ourselves off and hope we don't get knocked/fall on our ass next time but Ronda just disappeared each time she was beat in both mma and wwe
Nunez is so obviously a dude. Like how could you not see that?
Ronda went thru alot of trauma. Father suicides, etc. Her downfall was ego and being 1 dimensional Her judo was great, but her trainers never showed her how to strike. Carano vs Rousey???? It's a bit late, but UFC 300???????
Don't know of a person who has ever lived who hasn't gone through alot of trauma
@@patmartin4411 True. But I think that her being very close to her father, while mom was doing her Judo training, then he kills himself is out of the ordinary.
@michaelfarar4232 I know the history. But sorry man. This is simply called life. Don't care much for excuses. We all have reasons for losing, quiting, or failures. Not acceptable! Also the trauma you speak of happened well before the Holm fight. Please don't turn her into Deontay Wilder
@@patmartin4411 Obviously I don't know you or what kind of person you are. Lots of narcissistic trolling on the internet. Obviously, you can compare the trauma of a parent suiciding to an event you've personally had to experience. So sorry for your loss. Good luck to you
@@patmartin4411very true
She was pretty dominant in her ufc time. And her confidence from Gene Lebell judo and all her her success before ufc. The evolution of mma caught up to her.
Well, I see a lot of people talking smack here, but Ronda was awesome to watch. Yes, I wish she was a better sport, we all were blown away when she just gave up after two losses, but those first couple years were definitely fun. Same with Coner, he's been tough to root for for a long time.
I think her boxing skills were her weakness
Everyone has a downfall, it's most of the times, shameful. I once had a promising career, money, car, good looking. I lost it all, quit social media for how shameful I am.
Ms. Rousey, can always become a champion again. Mr. White, calling Ms. Rousey a joke? No, Mr. White is a joke & a Snake.
she'll never learn
She had no stand up ...none..her trainer was a inept
The fame just went to her head. She was years ahead of the competition in grapplong skill, but somehow got it in her head that she was simply better than the other women in every facet. And Rhonda couldn't strike. I mean, amature level striking. One if the worst strikers we've seen in the women's divisions.
What was horrifying about it? She makes a ton of money in professional wrestling with much less risk. Seems like a win to me. Am I missing something?
looking at the comments people will remember her for two times she lost and forget all the fighs she won and made a great fight. peoples malevolent nature never fails. no matter how good you are people will always judge you for your mistake but never congratulate you on what you did well
Part of it is because her two losses were so one sided. Against Holly she was dominated since she couldn't take her opponent to the mat. Against Nunez she was just totally outclassed.
No the problem was she was a baby about losing
She was a one dimensional fighter who basically couldn’t strike at all. And was outclassed the moment she couldn’t get the fight to the ground. So as a judo practitioner she was great but as an mma fighter she was mediocre at best. And her attitude was her biggest downfall. I never met anyone who was actually a fan of hers, most people watched her fights to see her lose.
I think its disrespectful to talk about her this way. The fight game evolved past her. That's all. It happens to almost every fighter there is. And if a fighter stayed fighting long enough it will evolve past them all. She put women on the map. She deserves respect in my book.
It's about her character, not her mma skills
Without question the single most overhyped and under skilled fighter in the history of combat sports.
Rhonda says "Holly's feet smell good. "
One trick pony
She's got millions, she's happily married and she's living on a farm. What a downfall!
We had a dog growing up he moved to live on a farm
@@RS-xq6je I'll bet it's rich too.
@@lbcog1 He got a big compensation payout after that car hit him poor pup
😂@@RS-xq6je
She was given a title then was spoon fed a series of amateur, former high school wrestlers who could not strike to build up her record and got exposed the second she fought a great striker who was not even that good of an mma fighter but had a decent take down defense and refused to wrestle with her.
When you have a winning streak like that, success gets to your head, and then when you fail, you simply can't accept that! That's what happened to her. Of course, in terms of overall success and money, with UFC & then WWE, she's definitely doing amazing financially.
She made the mistake a lot of champions do. She got comfortable and after her loss she came back too fast. Doing tune ups and fighting a series of fights to work up to another title fight would have been smarter. It would have helped rebuild her confidence and shake off the ring rust. But underneath it all, I think she just didn't really want it anymore. People don't understand the insane amount of work and suffering it takes to become a judo Olympian, let alone a medalist. It's years of fighting 100 matches a year, training full time with no off season. Kayla Harrison describes being a pro MMA fighter as a vacation compared to being a Judo competitor. After a literal lifetime of training, suffering and fighting she was probably burned out. I can imagine she just didn't want to embrace the suck anymore and wanted to enjoy her life. Working her way up again in MMA just wasn't appealing. She was already at the top. She was rich, famous and had a lot of opportunities. Summoning up the will to be a hungry young fighter with something to prove again probably seemed very uninteresting.
Ronda Rousey will always be loved by many, she’s Amazing.
Nope...SHE'S A LOSERRRRRRRR!!!!!
Your being sarcastic right?
The character of a great champion is how they come back from defeats. Ronda could never accept her losses and get better.
She lacked the skill to progress and eventually got exposed as a one dimensional fighter, and that led her to selling her martial arts soul to go pretend fight for large bags of cash. Legacy and status as possible goat talk are now erased. She once said she would leave MMA undefeated and as the goat, but her greatest opponent was herself and her pride.
She was a one trick pony , when she finally got into the cage with real fighters she started getting her face kicked in
Psychologically, that was a pretty terrific downfall.. the ego was absolutely annihilated. Remember, that's also about the time that folks were comparing her to Floyd Mayweather, how ridiculous.
She would have been alright, still in top 5 if she had been taught to lose, sadly she was not. The best fighters in the world will take an L every once in awhile, she couldn't accept that.
there is no joke about these great fighters among the greatest women respect ❤
Ronda Lousy just needs to go away because nobody even wanted or even asked for her to return to WWE in 2022 and even Fans in AEW don't want her there, Ronda Lousy is still bitter that WWE Fans chose Becky Lynch over her at WrestleMania 35.
Lousy??? You disrespectful fool. She was on top in both MMA & WWE and had massive charisma.
First off the fight between Rousey and homes is priceless never gets old.. the problem with Rhonda is she was being pushed as a great white hope and you know where that goes..🥊🥋👊🏻💃
imagine being one of the opponents to lose to the same move she used for all of the opponents 😂
She was created by White. Good press, building character, then had hand picked under matched opponents. Her whole record vs actual minutes and rounds is obvious. Then they needed new stars, so it was time to elevate someone actually worthy of a fight, and Rousey lost because she hadn't been fighting iron to iron, she had been a warm knife to butter.
If a male UFC only won by all armbar submissions, he would be laughed out of the UFC not called a champion.
She didn't win all 6 ufc fights by arm bar
She never had any real competition in the early days because the woman’s side was so new, when she did, she got blown out. Even in her prime, she would not do that well in today’s era.
Ronda is no joke to me. She may have made some questionable decisions, done some odd things, but who hasn't? Let those who are perfect, cast the first stone.
For the OG fans Gina Carano was the one to put the women’s on a map. To bad that fight was made never made between Carano and Rousey.
"HEAD MOVEMENT! HEAD MOVEMENT!"
What happened was ufc needed a star to promote their female division. So after they bought WEC Ronda was the best woman there so they began to feed her fights they knew she'd win but eventually she hit a point where they had to give her other top level competition. When Ronda ran into real fighters she got absolutely dominated again it initially boiled down to money ufc needed a star to promote the women's division so they pushed Ronda when it boiled down to real competition Ronda got dominated
Rousey typifies what the UFC has become under Dana White: a big talking clown show with over hyped mediocre talent. Those who know and love martial arts watch One Championship.
dana white needs to answer for letting under-talented idiots with big mouths be the face of his organisation and ruining the integrity of the promotion. there are world class fighters that cant get the fights they deserve because he'd rather create idiot celebrities to boost PPV sales. it might be big money in the short term but in the long term it'll drive fans away to promotions like One and lead to a decline
@@southerndiscomfort171 Absolutely correct. After Rousey and McGregor I refused to watch UFC anymore. Look how they drove off Mighty Mouse and now he fights in One.
@@michaelwilliams2430 its so funny you posted this comment because ive been thinking a lot over the past couple of weeks, especially after the Colby v Leon fight. the after fight press conference he got asked about Colbys behaviour and all he could really talk about was how the PPVs spiked during it all. he'll fiddle while Rome burns and wonder why people stop coming to the circus to watch a couple of old lions break their teeth on mice
You win some and you loose some, that what makes her a great fighter. I love watching her wrestle in the WWE. She brought that MMA style of fighting to the WWE woman’s division by giving them better ratings. What she and the other MMA fighters done by joining the organization, they gave the WWE a whole new look in professional wrestling.
Rousey was actually a great fighter much better than her downfall would indicate. That being said between her ego, her bad coach Tarverdyan and not allowing contact by strikes at all during her training she was never going to withstand the era of great women strikers like Holmes, Shevchenko and especially Nunes. Her coach convinced her she was a great striker and she was a good striker much improved no doubt but never great. When Rousey gets hit she freezes up and drops her hands every time. Their strategy of standing and striking with those women was doomed from the outset. Rhonda's only chance was to close the distance based upon timing and fight on the ground. Not easy as the best fighters and so versatile today.... Yet her ground game and grappling was better than any of theirs even still. Regardless the sport moved on and she was on an ill fated venture with little chance of surviving. Her star shined bright and I would have liked to see what she could have done with the right coach and game plan.
Becki Levi was the pioneer. Rousey was a very tough but best looking at the time, as Gina stayed away from the UFC and had lost to Cyborg by this point.
She's earning a living so leave her alone....I'm not her biggest fan either but she is earning an honest living more power to her for not giving up!
Ronda was mad at some of the people in her circle for congratulating Holly on the win
3:20 , false. She won 3 by armbar and 3 by KO.
A bad loser yes,arrogant yes, but she should be respected for what she did for women in this sport she was a pioneer.❤
I really hate Ronda’s fighting face. It looks so exaggerated, like we know you gotta put on a face of aggression but dial it back a little.
Once A Champion! Always A Champion.
She 100% failed dramatically at wrestling entertainment as well. You should've covered that
All she needed to Say I’m not a fighter anymore …. I’m concentrating on my acting career
I don't remember him thinking she was a joke when she was making all that money for him. 🤔
