@@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.
@@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
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.
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
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".
@@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.
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'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.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ..
@@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
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.
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
@@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
@@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.
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.
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
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
@Pray without ceasing 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
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.
I mean her dad killed himself when she was 9, she battles with an eating disorder so yeah she’s got issues and what do they say ? “hurt people hurt people” not saying it’s right but Conor has done so awful Shit attacking people personally attacking their wives, religion, injuring fighters and being awful but that’s on right ? Why? What’s the true reason?
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.
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.
@@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.
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"
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.
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.
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
@@trentyoung8765 just found that channel Thanks this was a really good job on TBD 2K end i wonder though...who taught/allowed rhonda to bounce on her tippi toes during high stress? cause they the ones that ruined her
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.
At least Conor McGregor had grace in defeat at the time even though he's an arrogant dick. Now he's pulling the same type of bullshit where he's being a sore loser.
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?” 😅😅😂😂😆😆😂😅
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 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 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 😆
@@joeyp4196 I don't know but we still haven't been invited back. I'm not sure if it was because of the Ronda fight or maybe their phones got infected with COVID 😆
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
@@stephengrigg5988 they used to let you link highlights on TH-cam. Those comments have been deleted. It was a highlight of amanda nunes getting obliterated unmerciful by Cat Zingano and Holly Holm getting choked unconcious in front of her home town by Meisha Tate. Both women Ronda destroyed. Just like to point out those two fights when people gloat about Ronda losing. I also like to remind people Amanda Nunes didn't defend her bantamweight belt as many times as Ronda did. Nunes also had twice as many losses as Ronda and Holly had almost 4x as many losses as Ronda and never defended a UFC title in her career.
@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🤷
@@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
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!
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.
A lot of people are saying she isn’t worthy, I highly disagree. People forget about how big of a star she was and how much attention she brought to the UFC. Sure there were stars before her (including women) but Ronda is arguably the first household name in the UFC. Even if she wasn’t the first, no other star reached the level of fame that she did (except Mcgregor).
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 .
@@zachariasj2120 Ronda didn’t have good striking to begin with, when she went against real striker’s such as Holly and Amanda, you could clearly see the massive difference. Her ground game was good but her standup was very mediocre from the very beginning.
@@NightSide1349 i agree she had no feet work no head movement i saw her shadow boxing she was not doing it the right way even when she was hitting the pads had no idea what she was doing
It’s crazy to watch this and at the end think about how Amanda just lost after her reign… Ronda was an extremely talented fighter with an amazing career, but could never take her losses like a true champ. Amanda was so incredibly humble and respectful in her defeat. Can’t wait to see her back on top!
Mma fans are fickle they see an unstoppable guy get stopped and they immediately know something in hindsight. Ronda is a legend man the sport is always gonna evolve but she was the girl. She did lots of stuff guys did but she does get shit on more than them and she just couldn’t handle it with everyone bailing like that it just sucked the fight outta her. She got surrounded by yes men and her own ego and it blew up in her face. After that everyone wrote her off completely and it was just too much.
@@gnarrcan108 nahh media hyped her up. I knew she was a bad striker. She won those fights because the media hyped her up to be a complete fighter when in reality her striking is ass. She was good on the ground though i'll give her that as she was a legitimate Judo black belt. It really baffles me how it took 10+ fights to realize that if you keep the distance ronda is lost. Kudos to holly holmes coaches for having half a brain to realize that.
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.
@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
"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.
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!! 🔥🇧🇷❤️🇧🇷🔥
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?
“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.
But she looked really really bad 😂 14:22 Very uncoordinated with non-existent technique. Always turning her wrists for some inexplicable reason, "boxing" from her shoulders, instead of rotating her hips she was wiggling her butt. Literally no footwork. She wasn't throwing any combos, just flailing those limbs as fast as she could. And breathing through that wide open mouth the entire time. Shocking for a supposedly elite athlete. You'd have to go out of your way to be that bad. Even people with zero training would do better just instinctively.
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
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
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😀
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 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
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
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!
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
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.
@Arcade Kaos we live in a world where people's brains are scrambled eggs from what they expose themselves to on the tv/internet... Its not far fetched to assume people can't discern the difference.
Ronda Rousey was a prime example of why female mma isnt where it needs to be. although she could throw a punch almost all of her opponents lost to arm bars in the first minute, even when these women saw she submitted most her opponents with arm bars they still couldnt protect against it. When she finally faced someone who could actually strike Ronda's lack of actual fighting skill was on full display, and when she fought nunes it was clearly obvious ronda lacked any actual fighting skill outside of "i throw them to ground and pull there arm"
@@mr.marino9247 the point was Pena walked through Amanda. Something people thought was impossible.. It isn't about Ronda not being in the circle (whatever That means ). Little bit of fame got to Amanda though.
@@ohherewegoagain whatever that means is... fighter is not only inside the cage dude... is outside, being professional and humble. Ronda and that " whatever that means " is she never was humble , wanting not to touch gloves... putting stupid angry faces before the fight, etc etc that was my point.
It's simple. Once the big bad bully actually had someone stand up to her (Holmes) Rousey crumbled. Everyone was intimidated by her, but Holmes stood up to her, and once she moved her back, it was done. Then she fights Nunes, and the second she is hit in the face, she just covers up and doesn't attack.
Her boxing sucked. Her bad boxing allowed both Nunes and Holm to soften her up for the kill. If you can't master all the elements of MMA, you cannot continue winning. I support Buakaw and Saenchai!
You earned yourself a subscriber , you deserve a lot more. All that aside I like how videos like this (btw ima tune in if you do wwe, nba w.e ) you can WITHOUT SAYING A SINGLE WORD, compile all the info necessary so viewers like me out of tune with some of the back story etc. can be informed in such a way that it’s like a book being unfolded in front of us. My guy keep it up , you’re great.
I remember watching UFC with my dad when Ronda was dominating and telling him that someday, one or two better fighters will appear and knock her off her throne. It happened as I said, so badly that she was beaten and then in efforts to regain her title, was beaten again and then she left. Credit to her for what she's done, but this is why it's important to be humble. You're not as big as you think. I say this knowing full well that Ronda will kick my a** any day of the week.
To be fair it ALWAYS happens in the UFC. Its not like boxing because the best always fight the best and there is a million different ways to win in the UFC. Even being a fan for years I'm capable of thinking a fighter is indestructible and invincible . Like I just did with Amanda Nunes , I thought her last fight would be a walk in the park and she wouldn't even break a sweat and she got beaten so badly she pulled a Connor and offered her neck to quit
@@cynic2202 cyborg yes but nunes nahh not yet lol ronda dominated the sport for a long time and do it easily fighting for a belt took it only a seconds she is the only athlete that do that in every sport lol do it many times aswell how can nunes accomplished it nah it just rousey is way better in everyway in its prime
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..
I know this video was to see Ronda humbled, but it gave me a more unbiased perception of her career. Everyone was hyping her up but proceeded to abandon her once she lost and was no longer undisputed, even the public. Her departure from the UFC is seen as a running away, instead of Ronda prioritizing herself and her mental health after that identity crisis she told us about.
She is a narcissist and was one of the most arrogant and unsporty fighter ever in the UFC. Her problem was that she till that point never faced competition on her level. That's why she believed she is an unbeatable goddess. When she got her ass kicked by Holms all her flaws came to shine and she got exposed. She did run away and quit. And when she came back and got her ass kicked again she quit a second time. Ronda is a strong person when things go in her favour and when she faces less good opponents but when she faces real competition she is a spoiled brat and sore looser who can't handle getting defeated
There are no GOATS. There are only the best of each generation. There will always be someone that humbles an unbeatable, breaks an untouchable record, the media makes the presumed GOAT. Reality shocks the world every time.
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
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
We need to Thank Holly for Humbling her. Hand's down my favorite Female Fighter. Even before she beat Rhonda "Pouty" Rousey. God Bless The Preacher's Daughter!
If I remember correctly Holm got choked out unconscious in front of her home town with all her family and friends watching. Yep. Face down blowing spit bubbles into the canvas in her first and only title defense. By Meisha Tate, no less. A woman that Ronda Rousey absolutely destroyed on three separate occasions. That's quite some fighter, that Holly Holm!
@@Batman-ix2dv If I'm honest I think Rondas mom said it best. Her mom could not stand Rondas coach. She felt that he was filling Rondas head with smoke and had her convinced that she had evolved into an elite striker. Sure, Rondas striking was improving and it worked fine against girls like Betche Corriea, who isn't an elite striker and Sarah McMahon, who was more known for her wrestling. But true elite strikers like Holm and Nunes proved Ronda still had a lot of work to do in the striking department. Unfortunately it was too late. By then Rondas coach had her convinced she could bang with Holly Holm. It's not a matter of "She couldn't beat Holm" is just that she _didn't._ Not on that night. For one, it's a fight and anything can happen. Especially at that level when you're talking about the top of the division, every fighter is dangerous. You want proof go watch Matt Sera vs GSP 1. All it takes is one mistake and any fighter can get the win at any given time. I don't think it's impossible for Holm to submit Ronda either. If Holm ended up getting in the right position and Ronda got too careless i could see Holm sinking in a choke. Is it likely? No, but it's not impossible. That's why i get annoyed when people speak with such certainty that Ronda was some hype job. Sure, Holm has a way better chance standing up the same as Rondas chances are way better in a grappling exchange. But at that level of MMA it's not impossible for either fighter to finish the other from any position. They all train in every area of MMA. Just look at Nunes vs Holm. Holm is the more technical striker with championships to prove it in boxing and kickboxing. But it only took one mistake and Nunes caught her. Not because Nunes is more technical. Because Nunes is a very powerful striker and Holm made the first mistake. Nobody says _"Holm was a bum. Everyone knew Nunes would expose her."_ Because it's not true. Holm is a great fighter just the same way that Ronda is a great fighter. They all just have different skill sets with different strengths and weaknesses. They've all proven they have what it takes to become champion. I'm actually a fan of all 3. I just don't get why there's been this trend with fans where you have to talk down about the loser. Why can't people respect all of them? I get it if you don't like Rondas attitude. If you don't like Ronda just say it. But to me it just seems asinine to discredit a fighters skill just because you took something they said personally. It's childish to me.
@@Batman-ix2dv Also, I don't mean to imply that Ronda ONLY lost because of her coach. She also lost because Holm worked really hard on her wrestling for that fight. Her takedown defense was amazing. I'm not saying Holly didn't earn her belt. As a matter of fact I actually called Holm to beat Rousey way before she signed with UFC. She scored a head kick at Legacy back in like 2013. I remember the announcers talking about Holms boxing and kickboxing records and I was like "Oh crap, if she can learn to wrestle this might be the woman to take out Rousey." See, I was a Rousey fan even before the rest of the world knew who Rouesy was. Even back in 2013 Ronda already looked untouchable after her first fight with Tate in Strikeforce. That's when I took a mental note of Holm. I thought to myself, if a pure striker like that can learn to wrestle she could be Rondas kryptonite. I'm not just some casual fan screaming "Ronda is strongest woman ever!" I'm a true fan of the sport and I understand it very well. That's why I get frustrated when people say "Ronda not on her level." As if it's DragonBall Z and everyone has some imaginary power level or something. And if your power level isn't high enough then you lose. It's frustrating for a true fan of the sport listening to casual morons discuss MMA as if they have a clue. The worst part is there are *WAY* more clueless casuals who don't even know they're ignorant than actual true fans who have taken the time to learn about MMA and know what they're talking about. It's like when someone says "Holly Holm is a bad bitch." Sure, that's true. Now can you tell me way, why? "She just a bad ass bitch!" 😆 Casuals can't even tell you why a fighter is good. They can't even tell the difference between clean and sloppy striking. Holm is a badass because not only is she an elite level boxer/kickboxer but her takedown defense is so good that she can force most fighters to stand and bang with her because they can't keep her down. Also her cardio is through the roof. She can move in and out picking you apart for 5 solid rounds. Not every fighter can do those things and that's what makes Holly special. Also, i was only trash talking Holm because of the original post. I'm actually a big fan of The Preacher's Daughter. Anyway, you got me on a rant I'll stop now.
@@Bella_Nekro nah imma tell u something holly holm and all those other fighters are one of those "im only good on camera type people."i experienced it it was terrible.Also ronda is still the better fighter then holm....

Life bro, life. 100%
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.

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
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
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.
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.
@@cyberbron2024 she could probably beat floyd I an Mma bout though with kicks and submission locks
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

@@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.
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.

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.

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

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.
I mean her dad killed himself when she was 9, she battles with an eating disorder so yeah she’s got issues and what do they say ? “hurt people hurt people” not saying it’s right but Conor has done so awful Shit attacking people personally attacking their wives, religion, injuring fighters and being awful but that’s on right ? Why? What’s the true reason?
Ive only seen pieces of her career, so this is full of context, thank you for that
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.
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.
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.

She absolutely deserved this humbling😂😂😂💓
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

@@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’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
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
Everyone get humbled in life. It's good for your soul.

Sounds about right. Pretty sure records were made to be broken
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.

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?” 😅😅😂😂😆😆😂😅
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.
Holly's not just one of the best female fighters ever but also just one of the best people ever
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 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.

Could watch the knockouts allday, everyday. I watch all combat sports, but the Holly Holm knockout of Ronda Rousey will always be my favourite
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?
@user-jj3ol5xv5k
yo creo que fue ambas cosas, la arrogancia y la falta de pensar tacticamente
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!

Just like to point out those two fights when people gloat about Ronda losing. I also like to remind people Amanda Nunes didn't defend her bantamweight belt as many times as Ronda did. Nunes also had twice as many losses as Ronda and Holly had almost 4x as many losses as Ronda and never defended a UFC title in her career.
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.

@@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 😂

@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.

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.
A lot of people are saying she isn’t worthy, I highly disagree. People forget about how big of a star she was and how much attention she brought to the UFC. Sure there were stars before her (including women) but Ronda is arguably the first household name in the UFC. Even if she wasn’t the first, no other star reached the level of fame that she did (except Mcgregor).
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.
How did her striking get worse cause against bethe she had at least a left hook

Shows how unpredictable sports is. Specifically contact/combat sports like MMA. This is what makes the legends so much greater
Mma fans are fickle they see an unstoppable guy get stopped and they immediately know something in hindsight. Ronda is a legend man the sport is always gonna evolve but she was the girl. She did lots of stuff guys did but she does get shit on more than them and she just couldn’t handle it with everyone bailing like that it just sucked the fight outta her. She got surrounded by yes men and her own ego and it blew up in her face. After that everyone wrote her off completely and it was just too much.
@@gnarrcan108 nahh media hyped her up. I knew she was a bad striker. She won those fights because the media hyped her up to be a complete fighter when in reality her striking is ass. She was good on the ground though i'll give her that as she was a legitimate Judo black belt. It really baffles me how it took 10+ fights to realize that if you keep the distance ronda is lost. Kudos to holly holmes coaches for having half a brain to realize that.
@@gnarrcan108 Ronda wrote herself off... let's be real.
Yea combat sports to me seems the most unpredictable and it is also known for having the most toxic fans, with motorsports fans being the least toxic
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.

@@dalroache you might have hit the nail on the head with that one.

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.

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!! 🔥🇧🇷❤️🇧🇷🔥
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?

But she looked really really bad 😂 14:22 Very uncoordinated with non-existent technique. Always turning her wrists for some inexplicable reason, "boxing" from her shoulders, instead of rotating her hips she was wiggling her butt. Literally no footwork. She wasn't throwing any combos, just flailing those limbs as fast as she could. And breathing through that wide open mouth the entire time. Shocking for a supposedly elite athlete. You'd have to go out of your way to be that bad. Even people with zero training would do better just instinctively.
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
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😀
Good edit. She really couldn’t deal with losing. It’s kind of sad to see.
12:01 jon jones by submission got me weak for no reason 😂
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
Great video , but why don't u show the buildup to the Holly Holm fight , which was the climax of the whole story
Yes yes it was 110% it should have ended with the high kick
Once she was dismantle by Holmes her mind check out .She didn't want to throw hands and got exposed.
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
watching her first two fights in ufc showed a lot more of her weaknesses people ignored. she was actually lucky to win both of those
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
Terrific editing. Best Ronda Rousey "documentary" on TH-cam, the most honest by far. Thank you for creating it. ✌🏻👍🏻

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!
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
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.

Cries like one too
one who just got sent to their bedroom to clean up their toys
You're literally standing like an off balance infant in your profile pic! 😆
@@Bella_Nekro damn that was so funny……
@@Bella_Nekro Poor guy lol
Holly Holmes taught Rhonda a life lesson in humility.
She was always a cry baby when someone said a bad thing about her , She proved it in WWE also
But WWE is fake....
@@acefrehley28 Yeah but her saltiness wasn't lol.
Facts
@@acefrehley28 you don’t say?
@Arcade Kaos we live in a world where people's brains are scrambled eggs from what they expose themselves to on the tv/internet... Its not far fetched to assume people can't discern the difference.
Ronda Rousey was a prime example of why female mma isnt where it needs to be. although she could throw a punch almost all of her opponents lost to arm bars in the first minute, even when these women saw she submitted most her opponents with arm bars they still couldnt protect against it. When she finally faced someone who could actually strike Ronda's lack of actual fighting skill was on full display, and when she fought nunes it was clearly obvious ronda lacked any actual fighting skill outside of "i throw them to ground and pull there arm"
As crazy as the Holm fight was, Nunes walked thru both of them.
Amanda could beat the shit out of Holly too. She really fights and moves like a man. A brasileira bainaninha é incrível, além de muito relaxada.
And then nunes got owned by Pena.. Circle of life buddy.
@@ohherewegoagain Ronda is out of that circle haha she was humbled. Nunes lost but she was always humble. Big difference.
@@mr.marino9247 the point was Pena walked through Amanda. Something people thought was impossible.. It isn't about Ronda not being in the circle (whatever That means ). Little bit of fame got to Amanda though.
@@ohherewegoagain whatever that means is... fighter is not only inside the cage dude... is outside, being professional and humble. Ronda and that " whatever that means " is she never was humble , wanting not to touch gloves... putting stupid angry faces before the fight, etc etc that was my point.
It's simple. Once the big bad bully actually had someone stand up to her (Holmes) Rousey crumbled. Everyone was intimidated by her, but Holmes stood up to her, and once she moved her back, it was done. Then she fights Nunes, and the second she is hit in the face, she just covers up and doesn't attack.
The problem was she never got smaked in the face before holly and once she received a 3 piece and a soda she was done
@@presidentcomacho3816not to mention it looked like the team didn’t study or improve her at all
@@jrdb04nope they didn't mf were relying on her "judo" and "wrestling" even though strikers started to enter the division
Her takedowns and judo throws were so damn good, they still hold up.
Her boxing sucked. Her bad boxing allowed both Nunes and Holm to soften her up for the kill. If you can't master all the elements of MMA, you cannot continue winning.
I support Buakaw and Saenchai!
Her story never fails to cheer me up.
But you are still a loser.
You earned yourself a subscriber , you deserve a lot more. All that aside I like how videos like this (btw ima tune in if you do wwe, nba w.e ) you can WITHOUT SAYING A SINGLE WORD, compile all the info necessary so viewers like me out of tune with some of the back story etc. can be informed in such a way that it’s like a book being unfolded in front of us. My guy keep it up , you’re great.
I remember watching UFC with my dad when Ronda was dominating and telling him that someday, one or two better fighters will appear and knock her off her throne. It happened as I said, so badly that she was beaten and then in efforts to regain her title, was beaten again and then she left. Credit to her for what she's done, but this is why it's important to be humble. You're not as big as you think. I say this knowing full well that Ronda will kick my a** any day of the week.
To be fair it ALWAYS happens in the UFC. Its not like boxing because the best always fight the best and there is a million different ways to win in the UFC. Even being a fan for years I'm capable of thinking a fighter is indestructible and invincible . Like I just did with Amanda Nunes , I thought her last fight would be a walk in the park and she wouldn't even break a sweat and she got beaten so badly she pulled a Connor and offered her neck to quit
It's not how you start but how you finish. She ah loser.
@Ma Och hahahaha😂😂😂. Yeah... I suppose.
She's really good at Judo though. Nothing other than judo, but still.
@Ma Och judo uses your weight against you. Look at Mackenzie Dern (115lbs) beating Gabi Garcia (2,890 lbs).
@Ma Och do you think your 270lb brother could beat Conor McGregor at 155lbs?
Never forget Rogan calling her one of the greatest human beings smh. Or floyd calling her Ron lol
"RONDA ROUSEY? NEVER HEARD OF HIM" -MAYWHEATHER
@@german80 haha
The best female fighter ever that step into octagon he was right 💯
@@jessanbarcelona7524 nunes surpassed her awhile ago. And there's cyborg as well
@@cynic2202 cyborg yes but nunes nahh not yet lol ronda dominated the sport for a long time and do it easily fighting for a belt took it only a seconds she is the only athlete that do that in every sport lol do it many times aswell how can nunes accomplished it nah it just rousey is way better in everyway in its prime
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..
I know this video was to see Ronda humbled, but it gave me a more unbiased perception of her career. Everyone was hyping her up but proceeded to abandon her once she lost and was no longer undisputed, even the public. Her departure from the UFC is seen as a running away, instead of Ronda prioritizing herself and her mental health after that identity crisis she told us about.
She is a narcissist and was one of the most arrogant and unsporty fighter ever in the UFC. Her problem was that she till that point never faced competition on her level. That's why she believed she is an unbeatable goddess. When she got her ass kicked by Holms all her flaws came to shine and she got exposed. She did run away and quit. And when she came back and got her ass kicked again she quit a second time. Ronda is a strong person when things go in her favour and when she faces less good opponents but when she faces real competition she is a spoiled brat and sore looser who can't handle getting defeated
Boohoo . How do you think those women who she treated like dirt on her shoe felt after getting finished in 30 seconds and shit on
There are no GOATS. There are only the best of each generation.
There will always be someone that humbles an unbeatable, breaks an untouchable record, the media makes the presumed GOAT. Reality shocks the world every time.
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
Ronda Rousey: I will retire undefeated
Holly Holm: Have you woken up yet ?
We need to Thank Holly for Humbling her. Hand's down my favorite Female Fighter. Even before she beat Rhonda "Pouty" Rousey. God Bless The Preacher's Daughter!
If I remember correctly Holm got choked out unconscious in front of her home town with all her family and friends watching. Yep. Face down blowing spit bubbles into the canvas in her first and only title defense. By Meisha Tate, no less. A woman that Ronda Rousey absolutely destroyed on three separate occasions. That's quite some fighter, that Holly Holm!
@@Bella_Nekro b4 i say anything else why couldn't rousey beat holm?
@@Batman-ix2dv If I'm honest I think Rondas mom said it best. Her mom could not stand Rondas coach. She felt that he was filling Rondas head with smoke and had her convinced that she had evolved into an elite striker. Sure, Rondas striking was improving and it worked fine against girls like Betche Corriea, who isn't an elite striker and Sarah McMahon, who was more known for her wrestling. But true elite strikers like Holm and Nunes proved Ronda still had a lot of work to do in the striking department. Unfortunately it was too late. By then Rondas coach had her convinced she could bang with Holly Holm.
It's not a matter of "She couldn't beat Holm" is just that she _didn't._ Not on that night. For one, it's a fight and anything can happen. Especially at that level when you're talking about the top of the division, every fighter is dangerous. You want proof go watch Matt Sera vs GSP 1. All it takes is one mistake and any fighter can get the win at any given time. I don't think it's impossible for Holm to submit Ronda either. If Holm ended up getting in the right position and Ronda got too careless i could see Holm sinking in a choke. Is it likely? No, but it's not impossible. That's why i get annoyed when people speak with such certainty that Ronda was some hype job. Sure, Holm has a way better chance standing up the same as Rondas chances are way better in a grappling exchange. But at that level of MMA it's not impossible for either fighter to finish the other from any position. They all train in every area of MMA. Just look at Nunes vs Holm. Holm is the more technical striker with championships to prove it in boxing and kickboxing. But it only took one mistake and Nunes caught her. Not because Nunes is more technical. Because Nunes is a very powerful striker and Holm made the first mistake. Nobody says _"Holm was a bum. Everyone knew Nunes would expose her."_ Because it's not true. Holm is a great fighter just the same way that Ronda is a great fighter. They all just have different skill sets with different strengths and weaknesses. They've all proven they have what it takes to become champion. I'm actually a fan of all 3. I just don't get why there's been this trend with fans where you have to talk down about the loser. Why can't people respect all of them? I get it if you don't like Rondas attitude. If you don't like Ronda just say it. But to me it just seems asinine to discredit a fighters skill just because you took something they said personally. It's childish to me.
@@Batman-ix2dv Also, I don't mean to imply that Ronda ONLY lost because of her coach. She also lost because Holm worked really hard on her wrestling for that fight. Her takedown defense was amazing. I'm not saying Holly didn't earn her belt. As a matter of fact I actually called Holm to beat Rousey way before she signed with UFC. She scored a head kick at Legacy back in like 2013. I remember the announcers talking about Holms boxing and kickboxing records and I was like "Oh crap, if she can learn to wrestle this might be the woman to take out Rousey." See, I was a Rousey fan even before the rest of the world knew who Rouesy was. Even back in 2013 Ronda already looked untouchable after her first fight with Tate in Strikeforce. That's when I took a mental note of Holm. I thought to myself, if a pure striker like that can learn to wrestle she could be Rondas kryptonite. I'm not just some casual fan screaming "Ronda is strongest woman ever!" I'm a true fan of the sport and I understand it very well. That's why I get frustrated when people say "Ronda not on her level." As if it's DragonBall Z and everyone has some imaginary power level or something. And if your power level isn't high enough then you lose. It's frustrating for a true fan of the sport listening to casual morons discuss MMA as if they have a clue. The worst part is there are *WAY* more clueless casuals who don't even know they're ignorant than actual true fans who have taken the time to learn about MMA and know what they're talking about. It's like when someone says "Holly Holm is a bad bitch." Sure, that's true. Now can you tell me way, why? "She just a bad ass bitch!" 😆 Casuals can't even tell you why a fighter is good. They can't even tell the difference between clean and sloppy striking. Holm is a badass because not only is she an elite level boxer/kickboxer but her takedown defense is so good that she can force most fighters to stand and bang with her because they can't keep her down. Also her cardio is through the roof. She can move in and out picking you apart for 5 solid rounds. Not every fighter can do those things and that's what makes Holly special. Also, i was only trash talking Holm because of the original post. I'm actually a big fan of The Preacher's Daughter. Anyway, you got me on a rant I'll stop now.
@@Bella_Nekro nah imma tell u something holly holm and all those other fighters are one of those "im only good on camera type people."i experienced it it was terrible.Also ronda is still the better fighter then holm....
Hi tdb I don’t watch alotta ufc I’m just getting into it these vids are so entertaining even for someone like me that is just getting into ufc you make these vids so easy to understand while also helping me learn about ufc please keep making these!
Idk why but it felt weird when Joe was calling her the best ever. Maybe looking back on it you can see she wasn't ready for that pressure imo
I saw all her fights un the Ufc, live, and all were spectacular. Si she was must see TV, the rest is history.
