+LDNballer I also agree with you. A very intel lenient and interesting woman. I actually think she's the kind of person I would get on well with. She's friendly, interesting, and doesn't suffer fools. I said it straight after the Holm fight that her coach should be fired immediately. Allowing your fighter to walk onto straight lefts...what??
Boy, was she right about everything.It's a damn shame Ronda didn't listen to her mom because I think if she would have studied under a legit world class striking coach like Javier Mendez or Freddie Roach she would have been untouchable.
so basically she believes that if Edmond truly had Ronda's best interest at heart, he would encourage her to visit and learn from lots of different camps. so she believes Edmond views Ronda as his meal ticket. she's improving because she's gifted, but he's actually holding her back. when doing Judo, Ronda trained at 5 different schools each week. she thinks Ronda should take a similar approach to MMA training to truly be the best she could possibly be. i can respect that.
+TheWanderer Interesting to watch McGregor rip on Dillashaw on TUF for moving to Colorado and out of Faber's influence at Team Alpha Dog-that is what Dr. DM is advocating Ronda do- be McGregor's version of a "snake in the grass".
+Cuivre Dillashaw is called a snake in the grass because he moved to a gym that has beef with team alpha male, and Urijah Faber had spent so much time helping Dillashaw out, even fought in a different weight class so they wouldn't have to fight. Visiting other gyms and training there is definately a great idea, you can only learn so much at one gym.
+TheWanderer The problem with that is in Joe Rogan's Podcast, where he interviewed Ronda and Ed, he went over the fact that Ronda trains in many different disciplines, with many different coaches, and he arranges these sessions. I guess she hasn't discussed that with him, and she missed the podcast
I told Dr. DM about the Joe Rogan podcats with Ronda and Edmond. She replied to me that she could only watch it for two minutes before she had to turn it off. I thought she may have been digusted with Rogan's lipstick comment, but it likely the fact that Edmond was on it. She obviously hates him with the white hot intensity of a thousand burning suns. That degree of hatefulness seems out of balance with what we see with Ronda, her results, and her good relationship with Edmond. Maybe her having a good relationship with Edmond is WHY Dr. DM expresses her hatred about him so much.
+Cuivre Let's say ed is full of it, and isn't taking her to different coaches to learn different disciplines. The guy is a hell of a boxing coach, and she's a legendary student, so you can see how great a striker she is now. He made her a killer standing up. She won her last fight in 30 seconds standing up, so he's earned his keep already. He did say she does 575 punches with weights for ten 30minute rounds, which is not humanly possible, but he has helped her become much more than just The Queen of Armbar
+Jacob Glenman YA!! hahaha what a fucking idiot right? Kardashians are the bestest smartest television people EVARRR! Why listen to sensible smart people when you can just laugh about shopping and OMGAAHH instagram pictures... Don't reproduce.
+Mel Luna LOL for sure. I can't believe someone brought up Donald Trump in the same conversation as a woman like this. Dr. De Mars rubs me the wrong way sometimes, but at least she isn't pretending to be someone she's not like every single politician in the world.
what is this obsession of kardashian haters with those women. i don'tVictoriahink thst anyone likes the kardashians more than their detractors hate them. what are the real reasons why you guys are so rabid in your hatred of those girls?
After UFC 207 Dr. DeMars' analysis looks even more insightful. Rousey was even less prepared for Nunes than she was for Holm. In both cases she demonstrated almost no defensive striking skills (head movement, angles, etc.) going into a fight with a skilled opponent with reach and power. Had Rousey taken her mother's advice she might have found a boxing coach who could remediate her shortcomings. Instead, she stayed with a head coach who told her she was a better striker than Holly Holm (a delusional claim that has been publicly crushed twice now). If she doesn't immediately retire, she should finally TAKE her mother's advice....as the old saying goes, "Mother Knows Best."
Couldn't have said it better. That coach is a complete and utter charlatan. Ronda is in a tough position now. Retire and tarnish her legacy as a "quitter", or find a new camp and ditch her coach which goes against her loyalty to him.
I agree after seeing this insider info from the mother I can now see how rousey was deceived by the coach and the loss is largely his fault but rouseys loyalty likely is her greatest failure. she could not and did not evolve and better herself because of her loyalty to a failing coach that misinformed her then when she failed she failed big. but who knows maybe nunes hits so hard and is so knowledgeable about rousey that she should not have fought nunes again.
Its not many women with head movement & angles & definitely defense she needed a rounded training camp to teach her to be a full mixed martial artist not mayweather Ronda was destroying women with extreme ease with punches knees & armbars what is there to learn seeing that holm was just a good matador perfect situation for her to beat ronda at that time shes never looked that way before & after Nunes just hits hard & destroyed tate & budd the same way
Well she did freak out mentally after Amanda first punch regardless of her skills she also had post traumatic stress disorder she went into shock mode. With respect to that people are downplaying her striking to much
Well, Ronda's mom was right. Ronda was ill-prepared to face Holm. Her strategy was shit...and that falls on the Trainer. From the looks of it, it seemed like she was unaware that she was facing a left-handed fighter until the actual fight. The fight wasn't even close prior to the knockout. Bad training.
+CHANNEL3TH-cam Holly Holm is right-handed and fights Southpaw. Ronda is left-handed and fights orthodox. She certainly didn't seem prepared to fight a Southpaw. In her team's defense. I think Ronda uses punches to get into the clinch, not to actually technically strike with someone. She doesn't know technical striking and since she wants to play to her strength, her plan was probably just to do what she always does, pressure her opponent and use her jab to punch her way into the clinch and then control from there. Problem is, that strategy won't work against a skilled striker because a skilled striker will maintain distance, keep Ronda on the outside and keep Ronda on the end of their punches. Which is what Holly did. Ronda can't execute her grappling if she can't get inside. Either way though, even the 3 or 4 times Ronda did get inside and get a clinch, Holly was big and strong and prepared and won all the clinch exchanges so the true reveal is that Ronda has clearly been fighting smaller, weaker, less-skilled opponents and since you're only as good as your opponent this shows that Ronda isn't as good as the media made her out to be.
+LateNightBarFight Holm was definitely more skilled than Rousey's previous opponents and certainly was the stronger person between her and Rousey. Not to mention, she had a good plan and executed it perfectly. So, I think we agree there. I disagree when you say that it's somehow not her camps fault that she wasn't as good as people thought. I believe that how good an athlete is or isn't greatly depends upon their training. That night, the better prepared/trained fighter won the day...and I don't think Rousey's camp gets a pass. It certainly didn't appear that Rousey was going against an already established plan that her camp had. if so, they definitely didn't express it in the corner.
I was once on the *Beat Rhonda Wagon*. Now I see *Rhonda* in a different light and actually feel bad for her after learning about her through her mother. Mom is very wise.
Ronda’s mom knew Holly would eat her alive . She knew damn well Holly would win she’s world famous statistician. She knew she was in deep waters she tried to warn Ronda but of course out of loyalty she stayed. There was tension this was the first official fight where Ronda’s mom was not present in that fight watching her from the arena she knew in her heart she would lose . Ronda’s mom has multiple phds and world champions she’s away ahead of everyone else!!!
She sounds like a really, really intelligent person, very self-aware, perceptive, and articulate. Really well read too. Her explaining what her company does basically acted like an excellent elevator pitch to an investor - venture capitalists don't wanna hear you trying to smoke them for a cash injection, they want to know that you're absolutely on the money for your product, and she sounds dialled in as hell. I think Ronda probably got ruined by her MMA team, bunch of pseudoscientific mean mugging tough guy types.
Came to hear about why she thought the coach was bad, but became fascinated in this incredible teacher. I can see why Ronda is so successful, the lesssons she learned must of learned from this woman are incalcuable. This lady is a genius, plain and simple. Too bad our political structure and institutional systems are so corrupt, because she would make such an excellent leader. Want to learn more about her philosophies on training and learning. Whatever she did for Ronda can be applied to other endeavors and disciplines. I actually have more respect for Ronda now having heard from her mother whose honesty is so refreshing. Great interview.
+Joe Szabo She passed her Judo knowledge Ronda which she used to get an Olympic medal and bring women into the UFC, that's all that matters. Intelligence is purely subjective.
+Joe Szabo just in my opinion, i think Ronda is smart too. I've watched a lot of her interviews as well, and she answers questions really well. You just don't see it if you only listen to her talking about UFC stuff, maybe because that cocky perception of people on her makes them want to watch women's fights thus more views.
*She's 100% correct, I watched Ronda's interview on Joe Rogan's podcast lately and Edmond was there too. She explained how she was visiting Edmond's gym for months and he just fucked her off and ignored her, it wasn't until she actually quit and had to return for her gloves that they started speaking. She literally had to force him to pay attention to her, he eventually did. Coincidentally it was the same time women's MMA started becoming mainstream. I believe he does care for Ronda, now... But it's quite clear that he values the attention of being her coach more. A lot of people think he's in love with her, I'm not 100% sold on that. But can you fucking imagine what kind of monster she'd be if she started training with Duane Ludwig full time? Or at a camp like Tristar or Jackson's? Sheeeesh...*
+Shady Caucasian I lived in Glendale for 8 years and I know many Armenians. It is how they are unfortunately. They're good people but still very old school in their views on women. As Joe correctly states, they are one of the last macho races out there.
+Shady Caucasian I love when people such as yourself actually look at other videos, rather than run off being a twat. I certainly agree with you. Too bad Ronda isn't seeing this. She is too close. Needs to take a step back. Sometimes you just can't see the problem when you are too close.
Slept King You can't teach someone striking overnight. It's not in Ronda's DNA to be a good striker. If she was trained to strike for years by good coaches, she still wouldn't be able to outbox nunes or holm. In other words, she's fucked.
That's ridiculous. Ronda's stand up has progressed in leaps and bounds under her coach back from the time when Ronda had no stand up whatsoever. You just can't put someone on par with a champion boxer/kick boxer in that short a period of time. That's not her coaches fault, that's just got to do with how long it takes to reach that level of skill. When you listen to Ronda's mother talk you get a notion of where some of the more abrasive ideas of Ronda's comes from. Her mom seems to be of the idea that the moment Ronda walked into Glendale fight club, the fawning and special attention should have begun immediately, rather than taking a couple of months to look Ronda over as a prospect. Her past success as a judoka aside, a couple months (8 weeks) is a very reasonable amount of time for him to look Ronda over and judge if they could make a successful team around her. We see this all the time with parents. Daughter is the light of the world to mom, so mom can't understand when others don't see the daughter as the light of the world too. Because there is a lot more than being a former bronze medallist that goes into being able to successfully team up with someone. Are they able to work well with others? Do they bring anything toxic or negative into the environment? Like maybe a mother standing on the sidelines saying the coach is a fucking asshole and she'd like to run him over? And who expects everyone to fall all over themselves to help her daughter the moment she walks through the door. I can actually see her coaches side in this despite the fact he's not commented on Ronda's mom's statements.
Zigz Zagz Didn't read cause it's way too much, but the first line, and come on, her stand up progressed leaps and bounds?? HAHAHA from what? slapping?? she is literally below amateur in striking, her last fight with Bethe was sloppy enough to tell, basically the same punches you see ratchet girls throw on the streets..
cp three Don't play the fool. Leaps and bounds from "when she started." She was a flailer who had no idea what to do with her hands in her first UFC fight. She's made a lot of progress from there. Not enough composure when she got hit. A stupid game plan but she was able to win a fight by KO, in her two fights previous to this loss when all she had was a top rate judo game and a great armbar.
+Zigz Zagz A big part of boxing is movement this includes foot work lateral movement & head movement which Ronda has zero of. He taught her how to throw a few punch combos & that is it. Her coach needed a different strategy then to have her stand up & box with a 19 time boxing champion not to mention also a very skilled kick boxer. This is all striking which Ronda had no chance to do this in a fight with Holly Holm. Ronda's mother recognized this & voiced her opinion which was ignored & she was right. Her mother is very smart woman & seems to be a philosopher of sorts also. Lets just say all edmounds top fighters have lost recently via knock out. His team cannot get a win lately & maybe there is something to what her mother says.
Dr Rousey as I knew her in 96 was my college professor at Jamestown college in north Dakota.. real as they come. genuine and passionate.. extremely intelligent..
Jacob Glenman That could be the case. But some that doesn't diminish what an alcoholic is capable of , how smart they are or if they are a good person or not.
+Aahil Mohommed She has a Doctorate's degree, world champion, donates her time, and has her own company, with children that are good people that are driven. If she is insane, then we need more insane people in this world, because we have enough sheep. She's very driven, nothing wrong with that.
Ask yourself, how many garbage people are there in this world, working at mcdonalds doing nothing with thier lives? Human are the only species that protect the weak and diseased. I'm not talking about getting sick, but about the people born with birth defects, weather it's physical or mental. Animals can sense this, and will kill thier new born that are ill, thus insuring the survial of the fittest. The spartans had it right, because the trolls (Ephialtes of Trachis) will hate. She's an Alpha, and what she is trueful. I'd rather have the hard truth to make me better, that a sweet lie to let me fail.
+Arrow V3 Not a cunt, not at all. Just because she doesn't conform to how hideously progressive the world is, nowadays. Sorry, but those who are driven, don't need to alter their persona simply to accommodate over-sensitive special snowflakes.
RRRRIIIGHHTTTT... I know the struggle, I grow up poor as fuck. Single parent home, and my mom was an immigrant. Before you start on immigrants, unless you're a native to what ever country you're in, I don't want to hear it. I finished high school with duel honors, while wrestling, and working 36 hours a week. Done martial arts on and off since I was eight. Been in the military, law enforcement and taught it in police and corrections academies, and now work as a computer tech while getting my certifications to be a network administrator. I can understand her views. You should live up to your potential and work hard. If you work at McDonalds as a kid while going to school, that's understandable. But if you're in your 30's and doing nothing, I don't want to hear your mouth about how your life sucks. As far as civilization goes, look at your history. It's made of killing, slaves, manipulation, and beating the other man done to get what you want. Do some reading. I've fought and protected my share of people. But you tell me that you love and think every one is valuable. Then go hug and kiss a drug addict on the street that's shit and pissed themselves. Those are people that have fucked around they whole lives and been able to do so due to the mercy of people that support them. So go hug a bumb and give them a kiss, not someone asking for money. A true bumb with shit and piss on them, that's high, drunk, or hung over. Tell me how you feels.
It's amazing how spot on she was. Only a year later and we have all seen how bad Edmond really is. Travis Browne is regressing by leaps and bounds every fight. Jake Ellenberger was a much better fighter going into Glendale than going out. Edmond is broke and his court case looks more and more suspicious. He is a conman through and through.
+shane stewart Common cents? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ronda's mom is the shit! She needs to get through to her daughter. Her daughter was not prepared for that fight. Everybody is talking about no head movement, but it starts with your feet first. 1. Absolutely no footwork. Should of been circling to her opponents weak hand, using faints. 2. Standing straight up, knees locked. You cannot stand straight up like a skyscraper when your opponent is quicker and has better reflexes than you. You are not in a good posture to move in and out at an elite level 3. No understanding of spacing. Your in with the best striker in the game, that you should know, uses effective length and leverage on her punching and you decide to stand on the end of those punches. Be all the way out of range or in range where you can do what you need to do 4. Not a proper game plan. She should of known that nobody can fuck with this Girl in the first round. She's a strong front runner, stay away from her power and wrestle her as much as possible to wear her down
Ronda has been mishandled for her last fights, that much is clear ! Her fights should go to the ground, period ! Standing with strikers is not a good game plan as we all have seen ! Stick to what you know ! He has somehow got her convinced she is a striker or at least that's what it seems ! WTF !
+Cuivre You don't need specifics. This woman is no dummy. Also she pretty much said the fact that he wouldn't give Ronda the time of day for months. All I needed to hear was that slimeball trying to take even an ounce credit for Rondas success on the JRE.
Prodigyz8 He has the right to give himself some credit. She's been working with him for years,especially for striking and arranging sparring partners and the gym itself. What coach wouldn't? And if Edmund is SO terrible, what would Dr. DM have to say about Ronda's opponents coaches? Are they SUPER-terrible?
+Cuivre The point is it doesn't matter who Ronda's striking coach is. You can very easily argue she could be getting more valuable training elsewhere. Ronda will find success in anything she does.
Prodigyz8 Edmund admits Ronda would be a champ no matter where she started in MMA-I never saw him claiming credit, although it is his right to (to a small extent) by being her gym owner and head trainer. If Ronda's mother had her way, she wouldn't do ANY striking, going by her post-fight comments and elsewhere.
+Cuivre its simple, she hates him ONLY because he ignored Ronda when she first came to the gym. I wouldn't call him a horrible coach considering Ronda can't possibly do better then she has. She has finished all of her fights and even got a 34 sec KO in her last fight against a decent striker. She is pretty much as close to perfection as any fighter has ever been, so for Ronda's mom to say that he isn't a good coach is way off base. Its like if a student gets 100% on a test and the parents say "the teacher is horrible. my kid could do better with another teacher." The mom needs to chill. She's still in 'insane' mode from her judo days.
+The Silencious People such as yourself who think there is an overnight or evening "quick course" on boxing are as delusional as those who think a 6 week camp in judo defense will keep Ronda's opponents from being slammed to the mat with a hip throw. Ronda's striking is obviously coming along well and she has reached the confidence level with it that she will be one of the main arrows in her quiver to be used when needed.
+Shaun Dent yup , lucky socks, wallet, shoes ,undies, hopefully not rubbers .(thats just lame game). routines. lottery numbers even thats just how some peeps roll. o.c.d . others dont. fact is her boxing is better than ever and better than edmond the boxing coach ,she is just a beast of a woman. steel sharpens steel. but i see her mums point. shit can get stale. travel rnd more gyms a bit mummy is thinking. ronda is like if it aint broke dont fix. stale mate. . she is hard as nails 4sure . her and coni boil down mcgregor are making dana a mint. . lets see mcgregor move up to a natural weight and see what he does if he gets past jose i say , rousey is a killer. thats a fact.
+Shaun Dent and her mom wants her to get out of this camp before the 1st loss even comes around, and if never does, she wants her out of the camp so edmond isn't profiting for being a shit coach.
Hats off to Ronda's Mom...Dr. De Mars...:) I always thought learning games could be huge for this generation and generations to come...much success for the future....and hope you can tell Ronda to hang in there after her first loss.
What a woman. A hugely inspirational 32 minutes. AnnaMaria is so right about Ronda needing to try other gyms. Rafael Cordeiro would work wonders with Ronda's aggressive style.
She's dead right about evil. If everyone stood up against every evil they were aware of, the role of evil in the world would be extremely minimized. Unfortunately, people are cowards.
27:30 Holy shit she's spot on. That's where you can truly see who's mentally strong when standing up for issues that have been there for a long time, and not just a quick moment where you fight someone.
Interesting to hear about the coach and she is completely right. I understand Ronda trusted him because she achieved victories by doing the same thing over and over (if it was due to him or not I cant say). Although she stopped developing as a fighter. For example Ronda completely lacks kicking and efficient movement standing up. That is the reason why Holly could evade her so easily and she could not catch her with her punches. Then of course we cant forget that Holly is extremely good standing up. Will be interesting to see if Ronda stays with the same coach, which I hope she doesnt. I could arrange her a standup coach that is a lot better than that guy and for free, just to make her realize and understand the standup parts she is missing! One more thing about her mother that I fully agree with and that is you should train as you fight, meaning use very little pads and bags and focus on the sparring and sparring like training because that is what will happen in the ring. Also one more thing, for all people training on higher level, never ever start a punch or kick from stand still, do it while you are moving just as you do when you are fighting. Many people are great at hitting bags but when sparring nothing works and that is due to hitting and kicking from static position! All from me, have a nice day!
I like Ronda's mother. Intelligent, forthright, eloquent and obviously passionate, and compassionate, about the things/people she cares about. She is also dead right about good people needing to speak against evil.....excellent interview.
what an accomplished woman. i was glad to see the interviewer rise to the occasion and ask thoughtful questions about her and her company beyond the surface-level headlines of her qualms with tarvedyan (the story of how she got into judo in the first place is absolutely fascinating)
Wisdom Wissy shut the fuck up. There, I have a big mouth too. But u have no fucking idea about my personal life. This goes for this lady as well. So again, shut ur fucking mouth u fucking nothing.
Ronda should have listened to her mama. Bad ass lady had over 25 years of combat fighting experience. And remember, her mom was saying all this before Ronda started losing. She knew what was coming if Ronda didn't ditch his ass, but Ronda didn't listen and got dropped by Holm and Nunes.
I just Absoloutely love this precious lady!!! I mean WOW she is amazing and it's clear where ronda got her drive from....I love what she said about edmonds and I wish I could be a fly on the wall when this little tiny firecracker is in the same room with edmonds!!! such a mama bear over her cubs too...she is my mom I every way....we are cherokee Indian and Italian...we are super passionate over our families and loved ones. ..and seeing Rondas mom how she obviously loves her children and would stop at nothing to protect them,and moms always know best at least in mia famila' and she is so down to earth and humble...I love her passion for education and I have my 2 youngest still at home 10 and 11 year olds...my oldest daughter is 23 and has given me a beautiful grandson, and another on the way,..I will definitely be looking into this software for them asap!!!
Absoloutely she is very blessed to have her mom,by her side,..and there for her no matter what...I cherish my kids and grandkids and I'm so grateful that I was able to be,home with them and they know they can come to me with ANY problem and I won't judge them. ..I'll give them advice and if I don't agree with them,I won't bite my tounge and I'll tell them what I think!! They my not wanna. hear it but that doesn't stop me😊...I just never wanted my kids to feel like I was looking down on them for Things.. And my oldest daughter knows all the crazy stuff I did in my teens!! But my younger two won't know those thing's until they are a bit older 😊...I'm trying to order mine right now but the page is locking up😞 good luck on your order...I hope it's helpful to your kids...mine are having some problems with the new core math curriculum. ..all the students are having problems as well and our teachers are way past frustration level...maybe her program will help them!!
I LOVE THIS WOMEN. CLEARLY A HIGHLEY IINTELLECTUAL PERSON WHO WANTS THE BEST FOR HER KIDS AS WELL AS OTHERS. HAVE VERY HIGH RESPECT FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUU MADAM
I don't know if I like Dr. De Mars but I have to respect her views and the way she speaks her mind. I completely agree with her views about Edmund. I wish her the best on the her games software firm.
21:00. Ronda did not make women's MMA. Scott Coker the CEO of Strikeforce did. First it was Gina Carano but she went to do movies. With the second generation, if not for Ronda, Tate or Zingano would be the face of women's MMA. Ronda did not make the women's MMA market as her mommy is stating.
Ronda wasn't lacking talent, skill, work ethic or commitment. Ronda was lacking a proper MMA camp. Personally, if Ronda had just stayed with her Mom and Gene LeBell, it would have been better for her. Not because JUDO IS BEST, but because they would have gotten Ronda the BEST kickboxing instructors to help her stand-up improve, the BEST wrestling coaches to help her counter any wrestler, the BEST BJJ instructors to prepare her for any submissionist and a great head coach to design the best strategy of preparation for each fighter. Edmonton just used Ronda. Ronda has a misplaced sense of loyalty. She should have just ditched his arse and gone for a real MMA camp.
I'm sorry but Ronda did not "CREATE A FIELD THAT DIDN'T EXIST BEFORE HER" women were fighting in MMA long before Ronda arrived, Gina Carrano was fighting ten years before Ronda, and there were all women's organizations in Japan since the mid 90's / so women's MMA existed for at least 20 years before Ronda. This is a perfect example of giving Ronda credit where she doesn't deserve it.
She def deserves it. People who don't even watch mma want to see Ronda fight. Why? Because of her, there is a women's division. Carano didn't change Dana's mind. Ronda did. Just because women were doing it doesn't mean they made a break through there is a difference.
+ForeverChiTonight All the hype around Ronda being the deciding factor in Dana’s decision to have women in the UFC is a myth. ZUFFA was buying out their competition, they bought Pride, WEC and Strikeforce. They bought Strikeforce in 2011, it just so happened that Strikeforce had women fighters on their roster. The decision wasn’t specifically to sign Ronda Rousey as much as it was to give all the women as a whole the boot or not. Dana was there when Ronda beat Miesha in the final Strikeforce title fight and Dana saw an opportunity, from that moment on the hype train started - it started with giving Ronda a championship belt before her first fight in the UFC. Ronda could have lost early on stopping the hype train but the level of recognition she received with each win was pretty absurd in my opinion, I heard someone refer to it as "Promotional Malpractice”. This and her horrible behavior has a lot to do with the current backlash because true MMA fans weren’t buying the whole “most dominate athlete ever!!!” bullshit, clearly Holly wasn’t buying it either. Most people don’t think she’s a loser because she finally lost, it’s because she was so intoxicated with her own celebrity that she was starting to believe that there wouldn’t be any price to pay for her shitty, disrespectful attitude..
I have watched endless videos and observed that certain points of what Ronda's mom says are true, that she has natural god- given talent and could have succeeded in any number of environments. Edmond was not selected merely for his credentials but also for the way his personality interacts with Ronda. Apparently what Edmond does is provide a emotionally conducive environment where Ronda thrives. Ronda described herself as prone to bouts of crying in the past, and in one interview, she described the gym as her refuge from emotional problems. Edmond is sort of that calm, positive, tranquil, and supportive personality whereas her mom was anxious and worried, prone to arguing on the phone, and pushing her to go to college on a sports scholarship. I think R0nda and her mom are perhaps like two north ends of the magnet, and Edmond more the south end.
+Lorena Smith What girl do you know that DOES NOT have the emotional twists you seem to know so much about? (all girls do ----that's your only answer). I'd think that any man named Edmond that could put up with that crap from any woman would be some sort of hero.......in today's false world, that is. ;)
+George M. Are you a girl...GEORGE? What the f do you know about being a female? And, what are you trying to prove anyway? Are you trying to show some new girlfriend that you're an ultra sensitive metrosexual? I think you've accomplished that. ;)
Wow, talk about foreshadowing. Dr. AnnMaria is brilliant. Very free thinking. Her only agenda seems to be to make a good living and helping people along the way. What she said of Edmond was spot on my thoughts for a long time. He is more of a distraction than a coach. On a side note I really want to buy one of her Video games now. Very impressive interview.
she's very articulate, isn't she? she's obviously very intelligent and i love her principles, but she looks like she smells crusty and has a wild coffee breath!
Rondas mom amazes me, I hope Ronda takes her advice regarding coaching. She really needs a proper kickboxing trainer. I feel like Ann used to be even better than Ronda at judo. I believe she won gold and even though it was back in the day (less competition I assume) it was still super competitive. Anyways, the point is she's awesome. Great interview, more like a laid back podcast really.
Joe rogan needs to get this woman on the podcast! it would be epic, i cant even imagine the stories she must have both ronda and non-ronda related.
Agreed! He's had Ronda on twice now. I'd love to see this savage on his show.
+LDNballer YES, Dr. AnnMaria would make an amazing guest!
+LDNballer LOL
+LDNballer I also agree with you. A very intel lenient and interesting woman. I actually think she's the kind of person I would get on well with. She's friendly, interesting, and doesn't suffer fools. I said it straight after the Holm fight that her coach should be fired immediately. Allowing your fighter to walk onto straight lefts...what??
Boy, was she right about everything.It's a damn shame Ronda didn't listen to her mom because I think if she would have studied under a legit world class striking coach like Javier Mendez or Freddie Roach she would have been untouchable.
so basically she believes that if Edmond truly had Ronda's best interest at heart, he would encourage her to visit and learn from lots of different camps. so she believes Edmond views Ronda as his meal ticket. she's improving because she's gifted, but he's actually holding her back. when doing Judo, Ronda trained at 5 different schools each week. she thinks Ronda should take a similar approach to MMA training to truly be the best she could possibly be.
i can respect that.
+TheWanderer Interesting to watch McGregor rip on Dillashaw on TUF for moving to Colorado and out of Faber's influence at Team Alpha Dog-that is what Dr. DM is advocating Ronda do- be McGregor's version of a "snake in the grass".
+Cuivre Dillashaw is called a snake in the grass because he moved to a gym that has beef with team alpha male, and Urijah Faber had spent so much time helping Dillashaw out, even fought in a different weight class so they wouldn't have to fight.
Visiting other gyms and training there is definately a great idea, you can only learn so much at one gym.
+TheWanderer The problem with that is in Joe Rogan's Podcast, where he interviewed Ronda and Ed, he went over the fact that Ronda trains in many different disciplines, with many different coaches, and he arranges these sessions. I guess she hasn't discussed that with him, and she missed the podcast
I told Dr. DM about the Joe Rogan podcats with Ronda and Edmond. She replied to me that she could only watch it for two minutes before she had to turn it off. I thought she may have been digusted with Rogan's lipstick comment, but it likely the fact that Edmond was on it. She obviously hates him with the white hot intensity of a thousand burning suns. That degree of hatefulness seems out of balance with what we see with Ronda, her results, and her good relationship with Edmond. Maybe her having a good relationship with Edmond is WHY Dr. DM expresses her hatred about him so much.
+Cuivre Let's say ed is full of it, and isn't taking her to different coaches to learn different disciplines. The guy is a hell of a boxing coach, and she's a legendary student, so you can see how great a striker she is now. He made her a killer standing up. She won her last fight in 30 seconds standing up, so he's earned his keep already.
He did say she does 575 punches with weights for ten 30minute rounds, which is not humanly possible, but he has helped her become much more than just The Queen of Armbar
I absolutely adore this woman. There needs to be more people like this that people listen to and fewer Kardashians.
+Jacob Glenman YA!! hahaha what a fucking idiot right? Kardashians are the bestest smartest television people EVARRR! Why listen to sensible smart people when you can just laugh about shopping and OMGAAHH instagram pictures... Don't reproduce.
So true...we need to be not so politically correct nation a lil more...Ballzz, like Donald Trump
Donald Trump is a clown.
+Mel Luna LOL for sure. I can't believe someone brought up Donald Trump in the same conversation as a woman like this. Dr. De Mars rubs me the wrong way sometimes, but at least she isn't pretending to be someone she's not like every single politician in the world.
what is this obsession of kardashian haters with those women. i don'tVictoriahink thst anyone likes the kardashians more than their detractors hate them. what are the real reasons why you guys are so rabid in your hatred of those girls?
After UFC 207 Dr. DeMars' analysis looks even more insightful. Rousey was even less prepared for Nunes than she was for Holm. In both cases she demonstrated almost no defensive striking skills (head movement, angles, etc.) going into a fight with a skilled opponent with reach and power. Had Rousey taken her mother's advice she might have found a boxing coach who could remediate her shortcomings. Instead, she stayed with a head coach who told her she was a better striker than Holly Holm (a delusional claim that has been publicly crushed twice now).
If she doesn't immediately retire, she should finally TAKE her mother's advice....as the old saying goes, "Mother Knows Best."
Couldn't have said it better. That coach is a complete and utter charlatan. Ronda is in a tough position now. Retire and tarnish her legacy as a "quitter", or find a new camp and ditch her coach which goes against her loyalty to him.
I agree after seeing this insider info from the mother I can now see how rousey was deceived by the coach and the loss is largely his fault but rouseys loyalty likely is her greatest failure. she could not and did not evolve and better herself because of her loyalty to a failing coach that misinformed her then when she failed she failed big. but who knows maybe nunes hits so hard and is so knowledgeable about rousey that she should not have fought nunes again.
Its not many women with head movement & angles & definitely defense she needed a rounded training camp to teach her to be a full mixed martial artist not mayweather
Ronda was destroying women with extreme ease with punches knees & armbars what is there to learn seeing that holm was just a good matador perfect situation for her to beat ronda at that time shes never looked that way before & after
Nunes just hits hard & destroyed tate & budd the same way
Well she did freak out mentally after Amanda first punch regardless of her skills she also had post traumatic stress disorder she went into shock mode. With respect to that people are downplaying her striking to much
this woman is so intelligent it's just so inspiring to listen to her... and usually i have no patience to listen to anyone for such a length of time.
+Jacob Glenman haha
Well, Ronda's mom was right. Ronda was ill-prepared to face Holm. Her strategy was shit...and that falls on the Trainer. From the looks of it, it seemed like she was unaware that she was facing a left-handed fighter until the actual fight. The fight wasn't even close prior to the knockout. Bad training.
+CHANNEL3TH-cam Holly Holm is right-handed and fights Southpaw. Ronda is left-handed and fights orthodox. She certainly didn't seem prepared to fight a Southpaw. In her team's defense. I think Ronda uses punches to get into the clinch, not to actually technically strike with someone. She doesn't know technical striking and since she wants to play to her strength, her plan was probably just to do what she always does, pressure her opponent and use her jab to punch her way into the clinch and then control from there.
Problem is, that strategy won't work against a skilled striker because a skilled striker will maintain distance, keep Ronda on the outside and keep Ronda on the end of their punches. Which is what Holly did. Ronda can't execute her grappling if she can't get inside. Either way though, even the 3 or 4 times Ronda did get inside and get a clinch, Holly was big and strong and prepared and won all the clinch exchanges so the true reveal is that Ronda has clearly been fighting smaller, weaker, less-skilled opponents and since you're only as good as your opponent this shows that Ronda isn't as good as the media made her out to be.
+LateNightBarFight Holm was definitely more skilled than Rousey's previous opponents and certainly was the stronger person between her and Rousey. Not to mention, she had a good plan and executed it perfectly. So, I think we agree there. I disagree when you say that it's somehow not her camps fault that she wasn't as good as people thought. I believe that how good an athlete is or isn't greatly depends upon their training. That night, the better prepared/trained fighter won the day...and I don't think Rousey's camp gets a pass. It certainly didn't appear that Rousey was going against an already established plan that her camp had. if so, they definitely didn't express it in the corner.
You would think Ronda would at least watch videos on her own on holly, what a fool
+LateNightBarFight Well said.,also Holly wasn't about to be intimidated, she KNEW her tactics, had an answer for everything!
Arthur Dean Tell me about it. lol
"he's not the f*** nameless one from Harry Potter!!" LMAO
I was once on the *Beat Rhonda Wagon*. Now I see *Rhonda* in a different light and actually feel bad for her after learning about her through her mother. Mom is very wise.
Wow, She's amazing. Now that's a role model.
24:30 For Edmond.
Dr. Tyrone Wells, Jr. Thank you!
Thanks Doc
Thanks!!!
Ronda’s mom knew Holly would eat her alive . She knew damn well Holly would win she’s world famous statistician. She knew she was in deep waters she tried to warn Ronda but of course out of loyalty she stayed. There was tension this was the first official fight where Ronda’s mom was not present in that fight watching her from the arena she knew in her heart she would lose . Ronda’s mom has multiple phds and world champions she’s away ahead of everyone else!!!
She sounds like a really, really intelligent person, very self-aware, perceptive, and articulate. Really well read too. Her explaining what her company does basically acted like an excellent elevator pitch to an investor - venture capitalists don't wanna hear you trying to smoke them for a cash injection, they want to know that you're absolutely on the money for your product, and she sounds dialled in as hell.
I think Ronda probably got ruined by her MMA team, bunch of pseudoscientific mean mugging tough guy types.
Well shes a dr. And she graduated college at 16. If thats not bordeline intelligent idk what is
Now we know where Ronda gets her lovely, winning personality from.
Lo U 🤣🤣🤣
Came to hear about why she thought the coach was bad, but became fascinated in this incredible teacher. I can see why Ronda is so successful, the lesssons she learned must of learned from this woman are incalcuable. This lady is a genius, plain and simple. Too bad our political structure and institutional systems are so corrupt, because she would make such an excellent leader. Want to learn more about her philosophies on training and learning. Whatever she did for Ronda can be applied to other endeavors and disciplines. I actually have more respect for Ronda now having heard from her mother whose honesty is so refreshing. Great interview.
Who knew Ronda`s mother is so smart you would never guess listening to Ronda.
+Joe Szabo This isn't a knock on Ronda but she sustained brain damage during child birth and couldn't talk until she was six.
+buzz saw I did not know that.I was really talking about her complete lack of professionalism relating to MMA.
+Joe Szabo She passed her Judo knowledge Ronda which she used to get an Olympic medal and bring women into the UFC, that's all that matters. Intelligence is purely subjective.
+Joe Szabo just in my opinion, i think Ronda is smart too. I've watched a lot of her interviews as well, and she answers questions really well. You just don't see it if you only listen to her talking about UFC stuff, maybe because that cocky perception of people on her makes them want to watch women's fights thus more views.
Judo world champion, PanAm gold medalist, and a PhD... yeah, the woman is not just driven, but intelligent.
*She's 100% correct, I watched Ronda's interview on Joe Rogan's podcast lately and Edmond was there too. She explained how she was visiting Edmond's gym for months and he just fucked her off and ignored her, it wasn't until she actually quit and had to return for her gloves that they started speaking. She literally had to force him to pay attention to her, he eventually did. Coincidentally it was the same time women's MMA started becoming mainstream. I believe he does care for Ronda, now... But it's quite clear that he values the attention of being her coach more. A lot of people think he's in love with her, I'm not 100% sold on that. But can you fucking imagine what kind of monster she'd be if she started training with Duane Ludwig full time? Or at a camp like Tristar or Jackson's? Sheeeesh...*
+Shady Caucasian I lived in Glendale for 8 years and I know many Armenians. It is how they are unfortunately. They're good people but still very old school in their views on women. As Joe correctly states, they are one of the last macho races out there.
+Shady Caucasian Excellent Comments......esp. the last part !
You're 100% correct he ignored her for months it said so in her book
+Shady Caucasian I love when people such as yourself actually look at other videos, rather than run off being a twat. I certainly agree with you. Too bad Ronda isn't seeing this. She is too close. Needs to take a step back. Sometimes you just can't see the problem when you are too close.
Slept King You can't teach someone striking overnight. It's not in Ronda's DNA to be a good striker. If she was trained to strike for years by good coaches, she still wouldn't be able to outbox nunes or holm. In other words, she's fucked.
ronda should have listened to her mom she taught ronda how to fight
The interviewer was terrible. Ronda's mom carried this interview.
Now the wolrd understands her, Edmond is a fraud and literally sent Ronda out to get knocked out and embarrassed.
That's ridiculous. Ronda's stand up has progressed in leaps and bounds under her coach back from the time when Ronda had no stand up whatsoever. You just can't put someone on par with a champion boxer/kick boxer in that short a period of time. That's not her coaches fault, that's just got to do with how long it takes to reach that level of skill.
When you listen to Ronda's mother talk you get a notion of where some of the more abrasive ideas of Ronda's comes from. Her mom seems to be of the idea that the moment Ronda walked into Glendale fight club, the fawning and special attention should have begun immediately, rather than taking a couple of months to look Ronda over as a prospect. Her past success as a judoka aside, a couple months (8 weeks) is a very reasonable amount of time for him to look Ronda over and judge if they could make a successful team around her. We see this all the time with parents. Daughter is the light of the world to mom, so mom can't understand when others don't see the daughter as the light of the world too. Because there is a lot more than being a former bronze medallist that goes into being able to successfully team up with someone. Are they able to work well with others? Do they bring anything toxic or negative into the environment? Like maybe a mother standing on the sidelines saying the coach is a fucking asshole and she'd like to run him over? And who expects everyone to fall all over themselves to help her daughter the moment she walks through the door. I can actually see her coaches side in this despite the fact he's not commented on Ronda's mom's statements.
Zigz Zagz
Didn't read cause it's way too much, but the first line, and come on, her stand up progressed leaps and bounds?? HAHAHA from what? slapping?? she is literally below amateur in striking, her last fight with Bethe was sloppy enough to tell, basically the same punches you see ratchet girls throw on the streets..
cp three Don't play the fool. Leaps and bounds from "when she started." She was a flailer who had no idea what to do with her hands in her first UFC fight. She's made a lot of progress from there. Not enough composure when she got hit. A stupid game plan but she was able to win a fight by KO, in her two fights previous to this loss when all she had was a top rate judo game and a great armbar.
+Zigz Zagz A big part of boxing is movement this includes foot work lateral movement & head movement which Ronda has zero of. He taught her how to throw a few punch combos & that is it. Her coach needed a different strategy then to have her stand up & box with a 19 time boxing champion not to mention also a very skilled kick boxer. This is all striking which Ronda had no chance to do this in a fight with Holly Holm. Ronda's mother recognized this & voiced her opinion which was ignored & she was right. Her mother is very smart woman & seems to be a philosopher of sorts also. Lets just say all edmounds top fighters have lost recently via knock out. His team cannot get a win lately & maybe there is something to what her mother says.
+willwork4superpowazz Thank you! Finally someone who isn't delusional about Ronda's stand up!
I could sit here and listen to her all day! Every story is so interesting, what a super intelligent amazing woman!!
Dr Rousey as I knew her in 96 was my college professor at Jamestown college in north Dakota.. real as they come. genuine and passionate.. extremely intelligent..
very smart women
+Azzho916 woman* but yeah she is.
+Azzho916 Ya she seems like really good people.
Jacob Glenman That could be the case. But some that doesn't diminish what an alcoholic is capable of , how smart they are or if they are a good person or not.
+Jacob Glenman yea, keep spouting bullshit...
Jacob Glenman No i don't drink alcohol.
Say what you will about her " bluntness" but she is a very polarizing woman.
+Lildrummerboy714 shes insane
+Aahil Mohommed She has a Doctorate's degree, world champion, donates her time, and has her own company, with children that are good people that are driven. If she is insane, then we need more insane people in this world, because we have enough sheep. She's very driven, nothing wrong with that.
Ask yourself, how many garbage people are there in this world, working at mcdonalds doing nothing with thier lives? Human are the only species that protect the weak and diseased. I'm not talking about getting sick, but about the people born with birth defects, weather it's physical or mental. Animals can sense this, and will kill thier new born that are ill, thus insuring the survial of the fittest. The spartans had it right, because the trolls (Ephialtes of Trachis) will hate. She's an Alpha, and what she is trueful. I'd rather have the hard truth to make me better, that a sweet lie to let me fail.
+Arrow V3 Not a cunt, not at all. Just because she doesn't conform to how hideously progressive the world is, nowadays.
Sorry, but those who are driven, don't need to alter their persona simply to accommodate over-sensitive special snowflakes.
RRRRIIIGHHTTTT... I know the struggle, I grow up poor as fuck. Single parent home, and my mom was an immigrant. Before you start on immigrants, unless you're a native to what ever country you're in, I don't want to hear it. I finished high school with duel honors, while wrestling, and working 36 hours a week. Done martial arts on and off since I was eight. Been in the military, law enforcement and taught it in police and corrections academies, and now work as a computer tech while getting my certifications to be a network administrator.
I can understand her views. You should live up to your potential and work hard. If you work at McDonalds as a kid while going to school, that's understandable. But if you're in your 30's and doing nothing, I don't want to hear your mouth about how your life sucks.
As far as civilization goes, look at your history. It's made of killing, slaves, manipulation, and beating the other man done to get what you want. Do some reading.
I've fought and protected my share of people. But you tell me that you love and think every one is valuable. Then go hug and kiss a drug addict on the street that's shit and pissed themselves. Those are people that have fucked around they whole lives and been able to do so due to the mercy of people that support them. So go hug a bumb and give them a kiss, not someone asking for money. A true bumb with shit and piss on them, that's high, drunk, or hung over. Tell me how you feels.
It's amazing how spot on she was. Only a year later and we have all seen how bad Edmond really is. Travis Browne is regressing by leaps and bounds every fight. Jake Ellenberger was a much better fighter going into Glendale than going out. Edmond is broke and his court case looks more and more suspicious. He is a conman through and through.
wow....what an inspirational woman, with plain common cents, keeping it real and calling it how she see's it. I love it.
+shane stewart if I had a common dollar for every time I read someone retarded rape their own mother language...
+shane stewart Common cents?
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ronda's mom is the shit! She needs to get through to her daughter. Her daughter was not prepared for that fight. Everybody is talking about no head movement, but it starts with your feet first.
1. Absolutely no footwork. Should of been circling to her opponents weak hand, using faints.
2. Standing straight up, knees locked. You cannot stand straight up like a skyscraper when your opponent is quicker and has better reflexes than you. You are not in a good posture to move in and out at an elite level
3. No understanding of spacing. Your in with the best striker in the game, that you should know, uses effective length and leverage on her punching and you decide to stand on the end of those punches. Be all the way out of range or in range where you can do what you need to do
4. Not a proper game plan. She should of known that nobody can fuck with this Girl in the first round. She's a strong front runner, stay away from her power and wrestle her as much as possible to wear her down
Ronda's mom is brilliant and very down to earth. I'm the 1000th person to say this, but she should listened to her mom,pertaining to her coach.
Ronda has been mishandled for her last fights, that much is clear ! Her fights should go to the ground, period ! Standing with strikers is not a good game plan as we all have seen ! Stick to what you know ! He has somehow got her convinced she is a striker or at least that's what it seems ! WTF !
Ronda's mom was right all along.
Momma Rousey saw tonight coming from a mile away.
Very wise lady she would of been a better coach n mentor for Ronda also Nick Diaz was a better striking coach Edmond let Ronda down big time.
make her a commentator or give her a podcast that would be fuckin Amazing :)
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil - is for good men to do nothing."
- Edmund Burke
Could have used more details on what Edmund SPECIFICALLY is doing that she doesn't like, within his coaching regimen.
+Cuivre You don't need specifics. This woman is no dummy. Also she pretty much said the fact that he wouldn't give Ronda the time of day for months. All I needed to hear was that slimeball trying to take even an ounce credit for Rondas success on the JRE.
Prodigyz8
He has the right to give himself some credit. She's been working with him for years,especially for striking and arranging sparring partners and the gym itself. What coach wouldn't? And if Edmund is SO terrible, what would Dr. DM have to say about Ronda's opponents coaches? Are they SUPER-terrible?
+Cuivre The point is it doesn't matter who Ronda's striking coach is. You can very easily argue she could be getting more valuable training elsewhere. Ronda will find success in anything she does.
Prodigyz8
Edmund admits Ronda would be a champ no matter where she started in MMA-I never saw him claiming credit, although it is his right to (to a small extent) by being her gym owner and head trainer. If Ronda's mother had her way, she wouldn't do ANY striking, going by her post-fight comments and elsewhere.
+Cuivre its simple, she hates him ONLY because he ignored Ronda when she first came to the gym. I wouldn't call him a horrible coach considering Ronda can't possibly do better then she has. She has finished all of her fights and even got a 34 sec KO in her last fight against a decent striker. She is pretty much as close to perfection as any fighter has ever been, so for Ronda's mom to say that he isn't a good coach is way off base. Its like if a student gets 100% on a test and the parents say "the teacher is horrible. my kid could do better with another teacher." The mom needs to chill. She's still in 'insane' mode from her judo days.
I am more impressed of her being in college at 16 than her winning the Junior Nationals.
Ronda, why didn't you listen to your mom? She's right.
Usually people stay with the same camp if they are winning. When she losses a few fights she'll switch camps.
+The Silencious People such as yourself who think there is an overnight or evening "quick course" on boxing are as delusional as those who think a 6 week camp in judo defense will keep Ronda's opponents from being slammed to the mat with a hip throw. Ronda's striking is obviously coming along well and she has reached the confidence level with it that she will be one of the main arrows in her quiver to be used when needed.
+Shaun Dent yup , lucky socks, wallet, shoes ,undies, hopefully not rubbers .(thats just lame game). routines. lottery numbers even thats just how some peeps roll.
o.c.d . others dont. fact is her boxing is better than ever and better than edmond the boxing coach ,she is just a beast of a woman. steel sharpens steel. but i see her mums point. shit can get stale. travel rnd more gyms a bit mummy is thinking. ronda is like if it aint broke dont fix. stale mate. . she is hard as nails 4sure . her and coni boil down mcgregor are making dana a mint. . lets see mcgregor move up to a natural weight and see what he does if he gets past jose i say , rousey is a killer. thats a fact.
+Shaun Dent Dillashaw jumped shipped
5616steph "usually" being a key word.
+Shaun Dent and her mom wants her to get out of this camp before the 1st loss even comes around, and if never does, she wants her out of the camp so edmond isn't profiting for being a shit coach.
I like her. We need more people like her in the world.
Very smart mom
Hats off to Ronda's Mom...Dr. De Mars...:) I always thought learning games could be huge for this generation and generations to come...much success for the future....and hope you can tell Ronda to hang in there after her first loss.
Look at travis Browne before team Jackson top 10 now team Edmonton top 50
Hey, The Coach was not the one, who made Ronda Rousey, who she is. Her MOTHER made her, who SHE is so she has every right to state her opinion.
Shit i can see where Rhonda gets her attitude lol i love this woman
What a woman. A hugely inspirational 32 minutes. AnnaMaria is so right about Ronda needing to try other gyms. Rafael Cordeiro would work wonders with Ronda's aggressive style.
She reminds me of the woman from Terminator
Sarah Conor
And Sarah Connor is bad ass.
"There''s no fate for what we make"
Momma gives no fucks about fame or fake bullshit and she is so damn intelligent and productive. Love her!!
She's dead right about evil. If everyone stood up against every evil they were aware of, the role of evil in the world would be extremely minimized. Unfortunately, people are cowards.
Edumnd Burke is credited with the quote: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Ben Keating hahah wtf is he Israelian
27:30
Holy shit she's spot on.
That's where you can truly see who's mentally strong when standing up for issues that have been there for a long time, and not just a quick moment where you fight someone.
she was right all along, i like ronda's mom she speaks from the heart
"sue away" LMAOOOOOO
Interesting to hear about the coach and she is completely right. I understand Ronda trusted him because she achieved victories by doing the same thing over and over (if it was due to him or not I cant say). Although she stopped developing as a fighter. For example Ronda completely lacks kicking and efficient movement standing up. That is the reason why Holly could evade her so easily and she could not catch her with her punches. Then of course we cant forget that Holly is extremely good standing up.
Will be interesting to see if Ronda stays with the same coach, which I hope she doesnt. I could arrange her a standup coach that is a lot better than that guy and for free, just to make her realize and understand the standup parts she is missing!
One more thing about her mother that I fully agree with and that is you should train as you fight, meaning use very little pads and bags and focus on the sparring and sparring like training because that is what will happen in the ring. Also one more thing, for all people training on higher level, never ever start a punch or kick from stand still, do it while you are moving just as you do when you are fighting. Many people are great at hitting bags but when sparring nothing works and that is due to hitting and kicking from static position!
All from me, have a nice day!
Ronda's coach did not have her ready for Holm.
I like Ronda's mother.
Intelligent, forthright, eloquent and obviously passionate, and compassionate, about the things/people she cares about. She is also dead right about good people needing to speak against evil.....excellent interview.
Good interview.
what an accomplished woman. i was glad to see the interviewer rise to the occasion and ask thoughtful questions about her and her company beyond the surface-level headlines of her qualms with tarvedyan (the story of how she got into judo in the first place is absolutely fascinating)
She's a fucking legend.
After listening to this whole interview I can only say how fortunate Rhonda is to have such an awesome parent. Great interview.
Text book example of perseverance. Beautiful Woman.
sandspar are you blind, this woman has a big mouth
Wisdom Wissy Sorry, I forgot to say " In My Unsolicited Opinion ". There.
Wisdom Wissy shut the fuck up. There, I have a big mouth too. But u have no fucking idea about my personal life. This goes for this lady as well. So again, shut ur fucking mouth u fucking nothing.
Bartosz Adamson well shut that useless big mouth of yours then..... dimwit.
Ronda should have listened to her mama. Bad ass lady had over 25 years of combat fighting experience. And remember, her mom was saying all this before Ronda started losing. She knew what was coming if Ronda didn't ditch his ass, but Ronda didn't listen and got dropped by Holm and Nunes.
Just saw where Rhonda gets her arrogance from. Thanks mom..
Rebel Nomad And like her Mum they don't recognize their own faults....
paponeable - exactly..
Rebel Nomad confidence and being sure are not arrogance.
Always thought she looks like she could be eddie van halen's twin sister. R.I.P EVH
great interview.
Dammm what can't you learn about this lady... I'm over here taking notes
Coolest mom ever.
There's a very fine line between Love and Hate; much Respect
shit weird how right she was about edmond has being exposed i mean the way she went out was bad coaching shes just to loyal to the wrong people
I just Absoloutely love this precious lady!!! I mean WOW she is amazing and it's clear where ronda got her drive from....I love what she said about edmonds and I wish I could be a fly on the wall when this little tiny firecracker is in the same room with edmonds!!! such a mama bear over her cubs too...she is my mom I every way....we are cherokee Indian and Italian...we are super passionate over our families and loved ones. ..and seeing Rondas mom how she obviously loves her children and would stop at nothing to protect them,and moms always know best at least in mia famila' and she is so down to earth and humble...I love her passion for education and I have my 2 youngest still at home 10 and 11 year olds...my oldest daughter is 23 and has given me a beautiful grandson, and another on the way,..I will definitely be looking into this software for them asap!!!
Absoloutely she is very blessed to have her mom,by her side,..and there for her no matter what...I cherish my kids and grandkids and I'm so grateful that I was able to be,home with them and they know they can come to me with ANY problem and I won't judge them. ..I'll give them advice and if I don't agree with them,I won't bite my tounge and I'll tell them what I think!! They my not wanna. hear it but that doesn't stop me😊...I just never wanted my kids to feel like I was looking down on them for Things..
And my oldest daughter knows all the crazy stuff I did in my teens!! But my younger two won't know those thing's until they are a bit older 😊...I'm trying to order mine right now but the page is locking up😞 good luck on your order...I hope it's helpful to your kids...mine are having some problems with the new core math curriculum. ..all the students are having problems as well and our teachers are way past frustration level...maybe her program will help them!!
Wow. Now I see where Rhonda gets all her classiness from.
"Can i swear in this?" LOL. I would be frightened if someone's mom asked me that just before interviewing her.
She is honest and i like it
Holy Fucking Shit!! Ronda's mom is fucking awesome.
I like her, but can't stand her daughter!
Love this woman I could listen to hear all day, more honest and outgoing people we need these days
I LOVE THIS WOMEN. CLEARLY A HIGHLEY IINTELLECTUAL PERSON WHO WANTS THE BEST FOR HER KIDS AS WELL AS OTHERS.
HAVE VERY HIGH RESPECT FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUU MADAM
I don't know if I like Dr. De Mars but I have to respect her views and the way she speaks her mind. I completely agree with her views about Edmund. I wish her the best on the her games software firm.
What a cool mom. She reminds me of Bill from Kill Bill.
+Blackmoss the Fetid Hating someone isn't cool. That's evil.
Are you Edmond?
Blackmoss the Fetid 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
great interview and an awesome person!
I like Ronda's mom. :)
21:00. Ronda did not make women's MMA. Scott Coker the CEO of Strikeforce did. First it was Gina Carano but she went to do movies. With the second generation, if not for Ronda, Tate or Zingano would be the face of women's MMA. Ronda did not make the women's MMA market as her mommy is stating.
she's completely right but unfortunately Ronda will continue to train only with edmond the yes man trayverdian
His big Armenian dick has gotta be 12 inches bruhhh Ronda was obsssssed
Ronda wasn't lacking talent, skill, work ethic or commitment. Ronda was lacking a proper MMA camp. Personally, if Ronda had just stayed with her Mom and Gene LeBell, it would have been better for her. Not because JUDO IS BEST, but because they would have gotten Ronda the BEST kickboxing instructors to help her stand-up improve, the BEST wrestling coaches to help her counter any wrestler, the BEST BJJ instructors to prepare her for any submissionist and a great head coach to design the best strategy of preparation for each fighter. Edmonton just used Ronda. Ronda has a misplaced sense of loyalty. She should have just ditched his arse and gone for a real MMA camp.
So if he stayed with gokor Chivchyan and that hayastan fight camp she would be better ?? What do they know know about striking
@@MMAdiehardfan I said they would have GOTTEN her one of the best kickboxing instructors. Not that they WERE. Attention to detail.
@@azraelknightquest5754 and who would that be ?
@@MMAdiehardfan VARIOUS! They could have contacted almost any pro MMA gym and gotten her a better kickboxing instructor that that dickhead.
I'm sorry but Ronda did not "CREATE A FIELD THAT DIDN'T EXIST BEFORE HER" women were fighting in MMA long before Ronda arrived, Gina Carrano was fighting ten years before Ronda, and there were all women's organizations in Japan since the mid 90's / so women's MMA existed for at least 20 years before Ronda. This is a perfect example of giving Ronda credit where she doesn't deserve it.
She def deserves it. People who don't even watch mma want to see Ronda fight. Why? Because of her, there is a women's division. Carano didn't change Dana's mind. Ronda did. Just because women were doing it doesn't mean they made a break through there is a difference.
+ForeverChiTonight All the hype around Ronda being the deciding factor in Dana’s decision to have women in the UFC is a myth. ZUFFA was buying out their competition, they bought Pride, WEC and Strikeforce. They bought Strikeforce in 2011, it just so happened that Strikeforce had women fighters on their roster. The decision wasn’t specifically to sign Ronda Rousey as much as it was to give all the women as a whole the boot or not. Dana was there when Ronda beat Miesha in the final Strikeforce title fight and Dana saw an opportunity, from that moment on the hype train started - it started with giving Ronda a championship belt before her first fight in the UFC. Ronda could have lost early on stopping the hype train but the level of recognition she received with each win was pretty absurd in my opinion, I heard someone refer to it as "Promotional Malpractice”. This and her horrible behavior has a lot to do with the current backlash because true MMA fans weren’t buying the whole “most dominate athlete ever!!!” bullshit, clearly Holly wasn’t buying it either. Most people don’t think she’s a loser because she finally lost, it’s because she was so intoxicated with her own celebrity that she was starting to believe that there wouldn’t be any price to pay for her shitty, disrespectful attitude..
+skategangster EXACTLY!
+skategangster Ya but... she sucks so, no one cares.
I couldn't agree more..
Currently reading Rousey Our Fight when I came across the chapter regarding this interview.
I have watched endless videos and observed that certain points of what Ronda's mom says are true, that she has natural god- given talent and could have succeeded in any number of environments. Edmond was not selected merely for his credentials but also for the way his personality interacts with Ronda. Apparently what Edmond does is provide a emotionally conducive environment where Ronda thrives. Ronda described herself as prone to bouts of crying in the past, and in one interview, she described the gym as her refuge from emotional problems. Edmond is sort of that calm, positive, tranquil, and supportive personality whereas her mom was anxious and worried, prone to arguing on the phone, and pushing her to go to college on a sports scholarship. I think R0nda and her mom are perhaps like two north ends of the magnet, and Edmond more the south end.
+Lorena Smith What girl do you know that DOES NOT have the emotional twists you seem to know so much about? (all girls do ----that's your only answer).
I'd think that any man named Edmond that could put up with that crap from any woman would be some sort of hero.......in today's false world, that is. ;)
+Shelly Dankert Wow, thats awfully sexist.
+George M. So what? It's true. Any girl that denies it is a liar.
Shelly Dankert Not all girls are the same, thats a very blunt and generalizing statement to make.
+George M. Are you a girl...GEORGE? What the f do you know about being a female?
And, what are you trying to prove anyway? Are you trying to show some new girlfriend that you're an ultra sensitive metrosexual? I think you've accomplished that. ;)
I have no idea how you shot this video. It looks like a 90's video. sweet interview
all gangsters in the world take notes she is a real gangster.
This lady is badass. Great interview
eddie van halen?
+bbuteo lol that's not cool but..lmao!
+Jonah Komanehau why??was a joke relax? she looks almost 100% like eddie V.H. thats the joke...so what?
Marcos Kiki I said 'lol' and 'lmao' which means your joke was good. Please read it properly next time.
+bbuteo ha ha ha ha E.V.H. \m/>.
+Jonah Komanehau She does look like Eddie Van Halen, but I wouldn't noticed that except for bbuteo pointing that out.
you can hear the excitement in his voice when she starts talking crap about Edmond. 😂 like "holy crap, this is my big break story". she's awesome.
Too bad her daughter is an embarrassesment
smart woman.
Fantastic interview and woman too. You see where Ronda gets it from.
IS RONDA AWAKE YET MAMA ?
+novaturbkkk
NASA reports her head is re-entering the earth's atmosphere as we speak.
bahaha love it thizlamic !!!
+novaturbkkk
I had a real nap tho. I dreamt I was off the juice while I was out.
Wow, talk about foreshadowing. Dr. AnnMaria is brilliant. Very free thinking. Her only agenda seems to be to make a good living and helping people along the way. What she said of Edmond was spot on my thoughts for a long time. He is more of a distraction than a coach. On a side note I really want to buy one of her Video games now. Very impressive interview.
She's one smart woman and a great mother!
This is an awesome lady. She contributes which is what we all should do.
she's very articulate, isn't she? she's obviously very intelligent and i love her principles, but she looks like she smells crusty and has a wild coffee breath!
????
YALL are so Amazing Wonderful I Love YALL so much keep it up
NOW THATS AN EXPERIENCED LADY. I LOVE RHONDAS MUM.........
the mental issues obviously stem from her mother
well i always wondered where Ronda got her trailer park trash attitude and mind set.. now i know. Bless.
A very intelligent woman its a shame that Ronda didn't pay more attention to her moms opinion .
especially the woman who taught her everything
Rondas mom amazes me, I hope Ronda takes her advice regarding coaching. She really needs a proper kickboxing trainer.
I feel like Ann used to be even better than Ronda at judo. I believe she won gold and even though it was back in the day (less competition I assume) it was still super competitive. Anyways, the point is she's awesome. Great interview, more like a laid back podcast really.
