This interview really sucks. Rousey will only do kid glove interviews. These two guys suck as much as Ronda. Her legacy can be summed up with "it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game." Nobody played it worse than Ronda Rousey.
Hard to pick a moment because there were so many. Her finish of Cat Zingano was incredible given how brilliant Cat is as well. Ronda never seemed to hide behind PR or ever tried to people please, which I guess is why she's so misunderstood.
You’re proving her point. You just want to continue being upset with her just for the sake of being upset. Tyson has done far worse things yet somehow society forgave him, Ronda still an mma legend.
@@jermainewright2556 are you kidding me? Do you really think Ronda couldn’t live on some mansion if she wanted to? She doesn’t cause she chooses not to. Holly is and has nothing and Ronda actually continues to get richer with her many ventures while fluke Holm had nothing other than what she has to leech from Ronda’s name
She’s hated because of her attitude. I competed in the UFC from 2016-2023 and never reached her level of success in the organization. Imagine if Tom Brady won the Super Bowl and then treated everyone in the league he thought was below him poorly because of his achievement. The next year he loses, athletes no longer have to tolerate his ego, owners stop kissing up to him, and his spotlight fades. That’s exactly what it was like dealing with her. She wouldn’t give anyone the time of day unless they were a champion or in the top 3. She was a horrible champion and bad representation of women’s UFC
She is not in the UFC anymore ,she is just being herself and she isnt coming back because she retired due to her history with concussion , she rather live on a farm
@@jermainewright2556 of course she owes me nothing but you know who she does owe? The two women that dribbled her off the canvas that she gives no credit. This ain’t about me or her being a mom, it’s about respect for the sport and the people that get in that box risking their life. All of her excuses existed when she was winning but you never heard them. This is why she is hated. There have been so many cocky, arrogant, delusional champions since the beginning of time. You know the difference between them and her? Win or lose they always showed love to their opponent. For the ones that don’t, they just look like sore winners and sore losers and no one likes those kind of people.
@@jermainewright2556 I’ve seen Mayweather walk into the boxing ring and literally break his hand in multiple fights. He don’t make excuses. And ass arrogant as he is, he always respected the sport and the opponent which is why he isn’t hated and Rousy is, even though Mayweather would almost fit the description of an athlete that should be hated. Same thing goes for Koby, Jordan, Connor etc etc etc. She’s a poor sport and can’t deal that she’s not the best.
@@jermainewright2556 I am not changing the subject at all. She is confused as to why she isn’t liked. She is the one that stated that. She is clearly having an issue with all the scrutiny. She can’t handle all the backlash of her antics when she was in the sport. The same thing happened in WWE. I brought up other athletes as an example of egotistical champions that are still love and respected. She is nether. All I’m saying. She talked about UFC more than this book she’s promoting. I wouldn’t be addressing anything if she was talking solely about a book. No hate here, I have no issue with the woman. But I also have eyes and saw the way she treated people, fellow fighters, and the sport. She hasn’t moved on mentally from her losses which is why she doesn’t address them. Has nothing to with Holmes and Nunez. Those demons are haunting her. I do have a better understanding of her based on her backstory. She will always be a UFC pioneer.
@@jermainewright2556 if she just addressed it , her public perception would change. Even after the losses she refused to discuss them. If she doesn’t care, or is focused on other things, why mention that the public opinion is hurtful? You know the solution to repairing it but still refuses. You can’t complain about disliking all the public scrutiny and also do nothing to repair it. In that case just lean into it. So many other athletes get backlash for their public actions. Why is it just her that has a huge issue with it? Tiger Woods got dragged through the mud when his private life became public. He didn’t make excuses, he didn’t complain, I don’t even think he addressed it because it’s none of our business. He’s still respected as a great. The way she handles things publicly is not great.
@@Dingoplexor The sad life would be living like Ronda, a horrible human being. I don't why people still defend this poor sport bully, that lives in denial.
No one wanted to hate Rhonda, she got more undeserved loved than anyone in the history of fighting. The true Rhonda was revealed slowly over time and although we fought the urge to hate on her, eventually her ugliness was too much. Connor's charm allows him to get away with similar Rhonda type BS, curious if and when that will change. Rhonda behavior was gross, as is Connors... One had charm, one had excuses
Difference between connor and ronda is ronds quit after 2 losses and connor lost to the same guy twice in a row snapped his leg the second time and still wants more
Opinions vary. To this day I can't watch a video where Connor talks, he is literally that annoying. I have no doubt that Ronda and Connor have the same fan-base. They're the kind of people who think that confidence and arrogance are two of the same thing.
I remain such a huge fan of Rousey. She’s an absolute pioneer, she’s paved the way for all those that have are fighting today. A class act and a technician. It’s so unfortunate that UFC has turned its back on her.
She was one of the biggest draws, and highest paid fighters in UFC history. You may not remember it now, but her fan base was massive. I loved how based she was when they asked her how she felt about the pro soccer women’s pay, and did she think it was unfair for them to make so much less than the men. They were hoping for her support, but she shut that down real quick. She’s been a winner her entire life. Champion at Multiple world competitions, the first American woman to win an Olympic medal,UFC Champion and highest paid female fighter. Then she goes to pro wrestling and earns around 4 million a year. How can anyone expect her to be humble and like the average person. She wouldn’t know where to begin.
I don’t think Ronda Rousey would be booed upon entering an arena. At this point she will always be a legend in the sport. People respect that. They don’t have to like her but they do respect her.
Ronda copium Rousey. I'm very surprised jake would have someone like her on. She lies about the reason why people hate her too. So for anyone who is not very aware who Ronda is or only knows her from WWE the reason she is hated is because she's disrespectful and egotistical. She said she stopped competing because she gave everything she had and her body couldn't take it anymore but that's a lie. She quit because she has an ego the size of a planet and couldn't handle the fact that she lost twice in a row to 2 different women who by the way made it look easy and embarrassed her. Also this is the same woman who was always disrespectful to her opponents before and after fighting them and said she would beat Mayweather in a fight.
I’m not a feminist yet I do see that is a woman is secure and or cocky, people view her behavior differently than when a man acts this way. Just a thought.
Thisss Comment! should be on top comments regarding her. Especially reason WHYY she ( quit ). yea thsts right!.. she alsoo quit! then made it about attempting to guilt trip the audience in an adolescent ( you're a full GROWN WOMAN out here ) voice with " and it wasn't enough". woww pa..thetic! yeeks 🤢 🤮
@@etuboldonMcGregor, masvidal and countless other fighters were more arrogant and made the DUMBEST excuses for their losses. “My foot was a balloon” Yet they don’t receive the insane level of hate Ronda gets. It’s sexism. People can’t stand a woman being so arrogant. Why is the the MOST hated ufc fighter when she’s not even CLOSE to the most arrogant? Hell, even Colby Covington doesn’t get this level of hate. By the way, why do you act like it’s impossible that she had concussion issues? It seems very likely. She did not want to come back so soon after the holly holm KO loss. And it’s not uncommon for judokas to have concussions.
She admittedly can’t even respect the opponent or sporting nature of it all, by touching gloves as a sign of respect. This isn’t the Roman coliseum girlfriend. She lost the respect of many fans.
Yeah you might be boo’d coming back to the UFC but you’d be giving yourself a chance to undo your damaged reputation. Get to training and hard work will earn peoples respect. Stay out of the spotlight when it comes to fight build ups, a few good fight performances then bow out and retire happy. First women’s UFC Champion, very impressive and dominant champion for 4 years. You did the sport very proud and paved the way for women in the sport at that period in time. I remember back in the day when Ronda Rousey was fighting and we’d all guess how many seconds it would take you to lock in the arm bar and we’d stay up to watch just your 1 Round fights. You don’t have to become Champion again you’ve achieved it all in your prime. Fuck focusing at the highest level in MMA, having MMA gold and taking on title contenders who are masters of different fight styles. Come back as someone who is showcasing the art of Judo to the world. Who has their own life outside of UFC and has other priorities. Let your trainer pick fights that are best for you. Find your love for Judo within UFC again, fight for yourself not for the limelight and you’ll be fine! Good luck in whatever you decide to do next Ronda!
Exactly, people actually like a comeback story. They'd like her and respect her a lot if she could act right and come back winning fights. But no, she's full-time on her pity-party and excuse tour.
Ronda it’s why the masses can’t stand you and wanted to see you get humbled,your disrespect for your fellow fighters a simple handshake would’ve turned all that around live and learn
Shaking hands is such bs anyways. Your trying to knock the head off your opponent but you should shake hands? Such fakery. The one thing I can say with Ronda is she is truthful & know how she feels. No BS or misleading. I respect that.
@@Rick72002 Men don't like the fact that she is very brash and adopts the personality that they find perfectly acceptable if it was a man who had it. Plus- she isn't a brainless bimbo the way VanZant was.
Those two insane ass whooping not only cracked her physically, but also destroyed her self esteem for the rest of her sad life. This is a deeply troubled, emotionally affected woman; she has to keep lying to herself about how good she was; when actually the whole world knows she wasn´t.
"I gave everything I had to give but they hated me" - then goes to the known concussion- and injury-free realm of WWE??? These guys really just kissed her ass.
Yes they did. She claims that she quit the UFC because her body just couldn't take it anymore and strongly hinted that she had concussions. What????? Of her 14 total fights (UFC, Strikeforce, and whatever HKFC and KOTC are), 11 of them were under a minute and were all her ground game. When the hell did she ever get her bell rung? It's hard to find one where she even took a hit except for the Miesha Tate fight that she won to go 8-0, that fight went a minute into the 3rd round. As usual, Ronda is an absolutely terrible liar and is utterly baffled when she's called out on it.
I love shows where we get to see our UFC fighters outside of the octagon. Each has a life that is so unique to them + I love finding out who they are as a person. Just like this video where Ronda is humanized + shares her feelings + talks about life. I think the more we can identify with their feelings we tend to be more empathetic with them. Great show + I with Ronda, Travis, + family the very best in life. ❤️
Me too. People don't realize she was living up to her nickname. Do people thing Rowdy Roddy Piper was always the way he acted in the ring? I find it humorous that UFC fans are so far behind WWE fans in this realization. The fighting is real- in the UFC- not necessarily the personalities! LOL!
I don't think Ronda would be booed. Regardless of how I feel about her persona, at one point she was the biggest superstar in the UFC, and whether people want to admit it or not: She's the reason (or at least she's a BIG reason) why women are fighting in the organization today. You can call her a "one trick pony" if you'd like, but it was a damn good trick while she was the champion.
True legend take losses and learn from them. She ain't no legend. Just a big Ole crybaby who can't take a loss and grow from it. She hasn't grown from her loss to Nunes and Holmes.
She is not a UFC fighter anymore , what she wrote in her second memoir are past stories during her time in UFC or WWE , that doesnt mean she is maki g excuses
ICH mag sie nicht im kämpfen weil sie mir zu brutal ist Trotz allem ist sie eine liebevolle Mama und auch die Kinder mögen sie sehr wenn sie angesprochen wird .
No she didn't, she literally said she tried to be as polarizing as possible, why? Because it drew in attention. 😂 That being said she definitely as ego
Yeah this interview is more proof that she can't handle losing or failing at all. Her interview with Ellen when she said she thought about ending it all cause what is she if she isn't a champion. Not sure if she was taught that or she just kinda learned it on her own but that's definetly not the kind of mindset a person should have. Maybe that's why she makes up excuses for her 2 losses and still can't admit Holly and Amanda were better fighters. Or at the very least they were the better fighters on that night. She just seem alike a really petty person. I know every time Holly punched her or when she kicked her in the head I felt like she deserved it for not being a good sportsman, for being a mean person and for not touching gloves with Holly. When she stood there staring at the ground as Holly's hand was raised I knew in that moment she got humbled. Also when the interviewer said she broke down doors for women to walk through forever. This ain't true. There was already women fighters and have been for a long time all she did was got Dana to bring them into the ufc. Permanently. I Other fighting organizations already had women fighters and champions. And props to her for getting Dana to do that but at the same time it would have eventually happened with or without Rhonda. It just happened sooner. But between her coach and sone others like Joe Rogan over complementing her and her coach lying to her about how good her striking and boxing was. Was some of the biggest reasons she eventually lost. Her striking didn't change at all in 4 years. It never got refined or any better. But being told she could beat Olympic champion female boxers. And could beat flux mayweather gave her over confidence in her ability's that were actually garbage When she hit pads and shadow boxed anyone could see her form was trash And she never knew how to throw a proper punch or job and in the end it cost her the championship and her belt and her career as she didn't know how to take a loss or bounce back from it.
Ronda quotes at 9:54. "there has to be some fuck-you in you and...". That is the difference between an outstanding fighter like Ronda and an Idol. Ronda is probably the best, at least one of the best fighters. She probably fights her entire life. It is what it is, she is far from being an Idol. That is why she is not welcome anymore.
Ronda was the best woman when there was like 20 womens in total to choose from in MMA. Her limitations have always been there, but never been more obvious when she actually got competition. The scariest thought is if she had retired before her fights with HH and AN, and people would actually think she could fight...
Yes he did. What are you talking about. He on numerous occasions would show extremely poor sportsmanship in the ring and than use the excuse that the reason he was acting that way was because of lack of competition. I personally was a silva fan but to use him for a model of good sportsmanship is literally a joke.
His next 3 fights after forest griffin. The fact that you don't know that shows your lack of knowledge involving ufc. So with that being said I hope the examples help you out there little buddy.
In all honesty, I hope she's getting some therapy because I've never seen someone want to play the victim so badly. There's zero sense of personal accountability for any of the issues she's struggling with. Yes, when you're in the public eye, there will always be a segment of the population that comes after you no matter what, but constantly lamenting everything around you without ever looking at your own behavior is going to lead to lifelong resentment and zero closure.
As an MMA fan I’ve never felt wronged by Ronda and I personally wouldn’t boo. Despite what you people want to say, I believe she is a great role model for all young women to believe in themselves. We can’t relate to her in any way shape of form so throwing brutal hate is simply just wild to me…
Don't cover for her delusions like that. Also, if young girls really need a role model outside the family, Valentina Shevchenko is a much better option
I’m someone who loved Ronda even after the Amanda fight. But I understand what happened, it’s not the fact that she lost… it was her attitude before and after losing which made people dislike her. She is probably surrounded by yes people, being accountable for your attitude or the way you respond to life situations is important. I’ve changed therapist who I felt were not holding me accountable. That’s how growth happens. She’s not disliked for losing,she’s disliked for the way she has shown to be on tv and interviews. I still like her but she just doesn’t have an ounce of humbleness or sound of growth as a person. So many greats have lost since and they handled it great and their attitude was good before and after losing.
Her first fight after she joined the UFC and ppened it up for other women to fight in the league is one favorite. Another moment is her emotional interview and her sworn vengeance after an opponent said that she hopes Ronda doesn't unalive herself after she will lose to her.
The sound of her voice just grates on me. I hope High Performance isn't going the way of Diary of a CEO and only interviewing Americans. Please keep it British
She should never feel like she can't go to an UFC fight. She was a GOAT in her time, many of us today didn't even know what UFC was until her. She will always be a GOAT to me!
Well I think she's way more likeable than Tate, for instance. For some reason I always think Tate is acting like shes a nice person but she really is not, that's the vibe I get from her. But Ronda I like, love her or hate her at least she's real.
She's playing the victim and wants ppl to feel sorry for her. Feel sorry for what? A great life and a great career? She lost a fight way way long ago. It's over. Let it go.
@@edgar22452 It annoys me bro. There are ppl with real problems out there and she's sitting here crying for like 10 years over a fight she lost. Doesn't even look at how blessed she really is.
And she goes on the Ellen D show crying about thinking about suicide. Please. This is the way a bully responds. The worst loser in the history of the sport.
Yes, Rhonda was arrogant…she earned the right. Think about woman's UFC before her, no one cared. The cockiness was part of the act , like McGregor. All the woman who came after trained to beat her . She came at the right time for the sport.
Ronda put female mma on the map, she paved the way for it to grow. But she was a mentally weak fighter which is why she couldn’t recover from those loses. She embraced the villain roll while winning but was shattered by one loss. Meisha Tate was a contemporary and lost her fights to Ronda but kept working and eventually became champion. Conor Mcgregor embraced the villain role won, lost came back and won moved into boxing lost made a ton of money came back won, lost and is still an icon in the sport. Ronda’s mental weakness is the issue here and you hear it all the excuses. She was never the Lioness and no matter what Amanda Nunez’s was coming. Stylistically holly holm was a tough fight and she fought it wrong and feared a rematch with the same outcome. She’s only further destroying any respect I once had for her and her abilities.
You could certainly make the case that she was mentally weak. And you are more than entitled to lose respect for someone over that. But I don't think she deserves to be vilified for it industry-wide. Her crime was what exactly? Not speaking to reporters and retiring early?
@@ckdaimen8028 Her crime is playing the victim. You can’t embrace the villain role, talk big shit while she was on top, then get crushed by Holly, make no attempt to avenge the loss; make no adjustments to her game. Get demolished by Amanda for the money then quit, but still wants to be considered the greatest female fighter ever. At the same time she didn’t want any smoke from the media after losing, while dishing it out the whole time when she was on top. Look at some of the disrespectful stuff between her and Meisha and some of her other opponents. I think the industry wide stiff is how much her actual personality rubbed people the wrong way. When you listen to her interviews it’s everybody else’s fault. Everybody else is mean and unfair. It’s every excuse in the world why she lost. That’s what I don’t have respect for. She a delusional self centered person and it comes through when she speaks. That said, I enjoyed rooting for Ronda and I know that MMA would not be as big without her. I think people like her, Mcgregor, Jon jones and others who embrace the villain role and are great make the sport excel. But you gotta take the ups with the downs and you gotta be able to overcome adversity and losses. All the greats do except her.
@@pierrecharles1317 I think as far as the industry point of it is concerned, this is mostly revisionist history. You're right that she had some criticism for her attitude and conduct, but things really took a turn after her loss to Holm because she didn't speak to the media. It was at that point the MMA media really piled on her for being a sore loser and poor sport and the fans followed suit. In reality, she was traumatized by losing. That may be difficult for fans and journalists to understand, but that's her business. People are affected by things differently.
I have a young friend who LOVED her and this is how I came to know her. I watched some videos of her fights. I’m really glad I watched this interview. She was raised by a champion Mom, who did a great job after her husband died. I hate to admit this, but I’m 66 and appreciate her. She’s a secure woman and admits she knows she was good. In this day and age everyone is so weak and run by feelings. We’re in a crazy world and there IS more to this life than what others think. I am more concerned what the Creator of the Universe thinks of me. My prayers are for her and her family. ❤
you know nothing about her from this comment then lol. She was a middling fighter in a weak division who was feed weak opponents to build up a promotable fighter that the UFC could milk for money, she loved being in the role of the bully, and her ego got out of control the disrespect she would show her opponents is crazy. She actually thought she was the best ever to do it but came up against an actual champion of her division and got destroyed. Then she decided to show to world her true character crumbled made up every excuse why she lost, then to top it off looked for sympathy crying on talk shows saying how she wanted to die. She is the most deplorable women to ever compete in the UFC.
It’s a bit ridiculous. She was awesome. She lost some fights. Don’t most of them. She deserves to be recognised for her career. She isn’t perfect but she’s still human
Now im not gonna blame some of the larger casual base especially girls who think that Ronda was" that great" since this is the only thing they were fed as dana white ensured the womens division was just the ronda show and effectively deleted almost every other women from the spotlight, the infamous"shes back " poster of the nunes fight showcases Ufc only promotes you if youre danas favourite , it reached its absurd heights when nunes was booed for existing, if i had a daughter i would show her many more female fighters to admire both in terms of skill and caracter , theres so many to choose, who had to overcome lifes hardships , bullying, mockery ,poverty and in this case victory and defeat , all things ronda avoided because everything had been handed to her for so long
I'll be honest I was hating on Ronda Rousey like everybody else and didn't want her to come back to UFC but now after watching this with her talking about how great she was or how great she is and all the work she's done from a young age training day & night fighting fight after fight not backing down from anyone no matter how ugly or pretty they looked she fought them and beat them that's what makes a person have the confidence to say or do anything with that said now I totally respect her as a fighter and a person and I'd want to see her back in UFC winning the belts again.
Crazy how big of an Ego she still has after her legacy was erased in one night by holly holm and walked out of the top 10 all time in less than 5 years after the loss.
Connor is genuinely hilarious that’s he’s loved/liked. Rousey is like Mayweather without the same skill level and takes zero accountability. Putting this down to her sex, is boring and lazy.
Its a hard sport...can't blame her for getting in the zone. You do whatever it takes to get the job done. Ronda if you read this... you made your mark in this world keep your head high because you achieved something most people can't.
Rhonda is a great Judoka. She did great in Judo. Trained by her Gold Olympian Judoka mother. Made a milestone in MMA. It's not easy to get a well rounded trainer. I believe her male trainer was green behind the ears. In MMA some stay for a while, some stay on top for a decade. You have to be in great shape and you have to train every day. Most competitors/fighters need several trainers. There's no know all, end-all in training. Most competitors struggle with ego issues. I know most people do. I don't think it justifies vilifying Rhonda. I think she was a great competitor, a great MMA fighter. I think no matter what she contributed and instead of vilifying her, we might be able to stand up and give her a standing ovation for the positive contributions she has made. Everyone has a story. There are just too many irrational MMA fanfare. They love you, they hate...move on irrational fanfare. She's human.
Part of me thinks that the only one who believes that "it wasn't enough" is her. I think most people would love to give her a standing ovation for how amazing of a fighter she has been. She was an inspiration to endless people, me included. I do think most would have loved to hear her recognize the loss, admit that eventually she got outclassed and then move on to enjoy her well deserved legacy. But that does not mean at all that every one forgot everything she has accomplished in the sport. Listening to this it really seems to me that still today admitting she just lost two matches is too much, she just prefers to not read any media or comment online because all she sees is the negativity, even if it's not all there is at all.
Hey!!!...Ronda!!!...AMANDA, said, SHE'LL give you a rematch if you wish to come back...OH!!!...and HOLLY said so too. ...you should give it a try, you know, avenge your losses like True Champions do...oh, my bad...you were never a True Champion though.
It's been nearly 10 years. Get over it Ronda you lost. The bantamweight division went up in class or you got figured out and you lost. It's ok you've still got your marbles and you're a millionaire.
Love or hate, she’s absolutely a pioneer for women in combat sports. I’ve been watching since the beginning. From Tank Abbot to present. Ronda changed the sport.
@@DS12210 Exactly. She puts out the same tired BS story of coming up the hard way and fighting for that top spot. No she didn't. She was given the Bantamweight Championship belt upon her entrance to the UFC. That's right, I said it: she didn't EARN it, it was GIVEN to her. Her very first fight in the UFC (vs. Liz Carmouche) was a win and it's officially listed that she "Defended the UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship." Look it up, I'm serious. If that isn't special-treatment, what the hell is?
She is beautiful and intelligent, no matter what anyone says. I’m sure it’s a lot of pressure to have your brain running like hers all the time. She’s a legend in my book
Womp womp. In the most humble sport she chose to be egotistical even after getting absolutely destroyed in her last 2 fights. This is her fault and until she realizes that nothing will change.

She made an estimated $15-$16 million between 2012 and 2016. Rousey's contract with WWE paid her $1.5 million annually. She was the first woman to win the SmackDown Women's Championship twice, and the only woman to win the championship in both the UFC and WWE. Rousey has also earned money from Movie acting roles (Her involvement in The Expendables Movie reportedly earned her a sum of around $400,000) endorsements, and book royalties. (a memoir 'Our Fight', which details the previously unknown health issue that ended her UFC career in 2016.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rousey is also known for her luxurious lifestyle, which includes California and Oregon. ($1.9 million) ~ Primary residence home in Venice, California and a ranch in Riverside, California, She sold the 4.5-acre vacation home in the Southern California mountaintop community of Running Springs. She raises Wagyu beef and pasture-raised chicken on the property with her ex-UFC competitor husband Travis Browne on a 4,000 acre Ranch, in southeastern Oregon, called "Browsey Acres", and She has a collection of high-end cars. (Chevrolet Corvette, Cadillac Escalade, BMW X6 & Chevrolet Suburban to name a few in her garage storage) Net worth of Ronda Rousey is $14 Million in 2024, This makes her one of the richest female combat sports athletes ever.
The fans turned on her because she made constant excuses and threw loads of fits after the holly fight, not because she lost. The fact she refuses to understand that hurts my head 54:18
Physically Ronda is an incredibly gorgeous woman but her constant excuses and complaining makes her kind of ugly. It also hurts her overall legacy. If she had just come right out and admitted that Holly Holm had Amanda Nunez were just better in their fights and admitted that wwe tried forced her onto the fans she might not be looked on so negatively today. When she first came to wwe in 2018 I predicted that within a year she would win either women's championship in wwe the fans would feel she was being forced on them and turn on her and that's exactly what happened. Another thing Ronda couldn't figure out was in both ufc and wwe when fans pay their hard earned money to see a show live they have the right to cheer or boo whoever they want
People have gotten her so wrong they say she has got ego but that was never her ego it was just hard for her to digest those losses and that she couldn't just pretend to smile when she wasn't in a mood and sure she let her anxieties and anger get the best of her at times but she was never arrogant and look she paid the price being the most humble in front of media and fans which is not a right thing to do as not all fans are sunshine and rainbows
Oh well she lost. She needs to get the fuck over it and move on. Today's women's division is far more different than yesteryear. She would have lost to Today's current fighters. One trick pony at 👌.
She could still have a great career in the UFC but when she lost a couple of fights she didn't want to play anymore. Our favorite fighters are humble after a fight, no matter the outcome.

When Holly Holm knocked her out
This interview really sucks. Rousey will only do kid glove interviews. These two guys suck as much as Ronda. Her legacy can be summed up with "it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game." Nobody played it worse than Ronda Rousey.
Hard to pick a moment because there were so many. Her finish of Cat Zingano was incredible given how brilliant Cat is as well. Ronda never seemed to hide behind PR or ever tried to people please, which I guess is why she's so misunderstood.
Being humble is so insanely hard for her. Must be difficult to wake up every day like that.

@@Theboxingtour hate is a strong word, I’d just say I’ve never heard her be inspirational or admirable for me to watch an interview
@@OTYH-h6g why’s woman in uppercase, were you shouting at me in your head
She’s hated because of her attitude. I competed in the UFC from 2016-2023 and never reached her level of success in the organization. Imagine if Tom Brady won the Super Bowl and then treated everyone in the league he thought was below him poorly because of his achievement. The next year he loses, athletes no longer have to tolerate his ego, owners stop kissing up to him, and his spotlight fades. That’s exactly what it was like dealing with her. She wouldn’t give anyone the time of day unless they were a champion or in the top 3. She was a horrible champion and bad representation of women’s UFC
She is not in the UFC anymore ,she is just being herself and she isnt coming back because she retired due to her history with concussion , she rather live on a farm

This ain’t about me or her being a mom, it’s about respect for the sport and the people that get in that box risking their life. All of her excuses existed when she was winning but you never heard them. This is why she is hated. There have been so many cocky, arrogant, delusional champions since the beginning of time. You know the difference between them and her? Win or lose they always showed love to their opponent. For the ones that don’t, they just look like sore winners and sore losers and no one likes those kind of people.
@@jermainewright2556 I’ve seen Mayweather walk into the boxing ring and literally break his hand in multiple fights. He don’t make excuses. And ass arrogant as he is, he always respected the sport and the opponent which is why he isn’t hated and Rousy is, even though Mayweather would almost fit the description of an athlete that should be hated. Same thing goes for Koby, Jordan, Connor etc etc etc. She’s a poor sport and can’t deal that she’s not the best.
@@jermainewright2556 if you know anything about combat sport then you should know that most fighters go into fights with some kind of injury.
@@jermainewright2556 I am not changing the subject at all. She is confused as to why she isn’t liked. She is the one that stated that. She is clearly having an issue with all the scrutiny. She can’t handle all the backlash of her antics when she was in the sport. The same thing happened in WWE. I brought up other athletes as an example of egotistical champions that are still love and respected. She is nether. All I’m saying. She talked about UFC more than this book she’s promoting. I wouldn’t be addressing anything if she was talking solely about a book. No hate here, I have no issue with the woman. But I also have eyes and saw the way she treated people, fellow fighters, and the sport. She hasn’t moved on mentally from her losses which is why she doesn’t address them. Has nothing to with Holmes and Nunez. Those demons are haunting her. I do have a better understanding of her based on her backstory. She will always be a UFC pioneer.
@@jermainewright2556 if she just addressed it , her public perception would change. Even after the losses she refused to discuss them. If she doesn’t care, or is focused on other things, why mention that the public opinion is hurtful? You know the solution to repairing it but still refuses. You can’t complain about disliking all the public scrutiny and also do nothing to repair it. In that case just lean into it. So many other athletes get backlash for their public actions. Why is it just her that has a huge issue with it? Tiger Woods got dragged through the mud when his private life became public. He didn’t make excuses, he didn’t complain, I don’t even think he addressed it because it’s none of our business. He’s still respected as a great. The way she handles things publicly is not great.

No one wanted to hate Rhonda, she got more undeserved loved than anyone in the history of fighting. The true Rhonda was revealed slowly over time and although we fought the urge to hate on her, eventually her ugliness was too much. Connor's charm allows him to get away with similar Rhonda type BS, curious if and when that will change. Rhonda behavior was gross, as is Connors... One had charm, one had excuses
Difference between connor and ronda is ronds quit after 2 losses and connor lost to the same guy twice in a row snapped his leg the second time and still wants more
This is the most accurate assessment of what anyone on this thread has said
Yep. She made me hate her with the worse sportsmanship of anyone in this sport.
Anyone who watched that tuf series knew
Opinions vary. To this day I can't watch a video where Connor talks, he is literally that annoying. I have no doubt that Ronda and Connor have the same fan-base. They're the kind of people who think that confidence and arrogance are two of the same thing.

I remain such a huge fan of Rousey. She’s an absolute pioneer, she’s paved the way for all those that have are fighting today. A class act and a technician. It’s so unfortunate that UFC has turned its back on her.
She is horrible she did nothing but bully other fighters she didn't even bump hands with Holly.
Her ego stopped her from getting loved like the legends
Not once did she acknowledge that she used to go against the fans..
She was one of the biggest draws, and highest paid fighters in UFC history. You may not remember it now, but her fan base was massive. I loved how based she was when they asked her how she felt about the pro soccer women’s pay, and did she think it was unfair for them to make so much less than the men. They were hoping for her support, but she shut that down real quick. She’s been a winner her entire life. Champion at Multiple world competitions, the first American woman to win an Olympic medal,UFC Champion and highest paid female fighter. Then she goes to pro wrestling and earns around 4 million a year. How can anyone expect her to be humble and like the average person. She wouldn’t know where to begin.
I don’t think Ronda Rousey would be booed upon entering an arena.
At this point she will always be a legend in the sport. People respect that. They don’t have to like her but they do respect her.
rhona has the worst ego for such extreme accomplishments
Stop talking about her past , she is not UFc fighter anymore
Ronda copium Rousey. I'm very surprised jake would have someone like her on. She lies about the reason why people hate her too. So for anyone who is not very aware who Ronda is or only knows her from WWE the reason she is hated is because she's disrespectful and egotistical. She said she stopped competing because she gave everything she had and her body couldn't take it anymore but that's a lie. She quit because she has an ego the size of a planet and couldn't handle the fact that she lost twice in a row to 2 different women who by the way made it look easy and embarrassed her. Also this is the same woman who was always disrespectful to her opponents before and after fighting them and said she would beat Mayweather in a fight.
I’m not a feminist yet I do see that is a woman is secure and or cocky, people view her behavior differently than when a man acts this way. Just a thought.

By the way, why do you act like it’s impossible that she had concussion issues? It seems very likely. She did not want to come back so soon after the holly holm KO loss. And it’s not uncommon for judokas to have concussions.
Great interview…thank you
She admittedly can’t even respect the opponent or sporting nature of it all, by touching gloves as a sign of respect. This isn’t the Roman coliseum girlfriend. She lost the respect of many fans.
Yeah you might be boo’d coming back to the UFC but you’d be giving yourself a chance to undo your damaged reputation. Get to training and hard work will earn peoples respect. Stay out of the spotlight when it comes to fight build ups, a few good fight performances then bow out and retire happy.
First women’s UFC Champion, very impressive and dominant champion for 4 years. You did the sport very proud and paved the way for women in the sport at that period in time. I remember back in the day when Ronda Rousey was fighting and we’d all guess how many seconds it would take you to lock in the arm bar and we’d stay up to watch just your 1 Round fights.
You don’t have to become Champion again you’ve achieved it all in your prime. Fuck focusing at the highest level in MMA, having MMA gold and taking on title contenders who are masters of different fight styles.
Come back as someone who is showcasing the art of Judo to the world. Who has their own life outside of UFC and has other priorities. Let your trainer pick fights that are best for you. Find your love for Judo within UFC again, fight for yourself not for the limelight and you’ll be fine!
Good luck in whatever you decide to do next Ronda!
Exactly, people actually like a comeback story. They'd like her and respect her a lot if she could act right and come back winning fights. But no, she's full-time on her pity-party and excuse tour.

Incredible interview- incredible interviewers - incredible interviewee
Thank you so much all❤️🔥
"I gave everything I had to give but they hated me" - then goes to the known concussion- and injury-free realm of WWE???
These guys really just kissed her ass.
They all do,
Yes they did. She claims that she quit the UFC because her body just couldn't take it anymore and strongly hinted that she had concussions. What????? Of her 14 total fights (UFC, Strikeforce, and whatever HKFC and KOTC are), 11 of them were under a minute and were all her ground game. When the hell did she ever get her bell rung? It's hard to find one where she even took a hit except for the Miesha Tate fight that she won to go 8-0, that fight went a minute into the 3rd round. As usual, Ronda is an absolutely terrible liar and is utterly baffled when she's called out on it.
I love shows where we get to see our UFC fighters outside of the octagon.
Each has a life that is so unique to them + I love finding out who they are as a person.
Just like this video where Ronda is humanized + shares her feelings + talks about life.
I think the more we can identify with their feelings we tend to be more empathetic with them.
Great show + I with Ronda, Travis, + family the very best in life. ❤️
This was a good interview. That took courage to open up. She will always be a warrior and her impressive record of achievement will stand forever
I still like Ronda Rousey despite what others think.
Me too. People don't realize she was living up to her nickname. Do people thing Rowdy Roddy Piper was always the way he acted in the ring? I find it humorous that UFC fans are so far behind WWE fans in this realization. The fighting is real- in the UFC- not necessarily the personalities! LOL!

I don't think Ronda would be booed.
Regardless of how I feel about her persona, at one point she was the biggest superstar in the UFC, and whether people want to admit it or not: She's the reason (or at least she's a BIG reason) why women are fighting in the organization today. You can call her a "one trick pony" if you'd like, but it was a damn good trick while she was the champion.
She literally disrespect boxing and got humbled by a former boxer however she is a legend in her respectful category she just gotta learn to be humble
True legend take losses and learn from them. She ain't no legend. Just a big Ole crybaby who can't take a loss and grow from it. She hasn't grown from her loss to Nunes and Holmes.
She is not a UFC fighter anymore , what she wrote in her second memoir are past stories during her time in UFC or WWE , that doesnt mean she is maki g excuses
@jermainewright1757 Sure simp
ICH mag sie nicht im kämpfen weil sie mir zu brutal ist Trotz allem ist sie eine liebevolle Mama und auch die Kinder mögen sie sehr wenn sie angesprochen wird .
No she didn't, she literally said she tried to be as polarizing as possible, why? Because it drew in attention. 😂
That being said she definitely as ego
Yeah this interview is more proof that she can't handle losing or failing at all. Her interview with Ellen when she said she thought about ending it all cause what is she if she isn't a champion. Not sure if she was taught that or she just kinda learned it on her own but that's definetly not the kind of mindset a person should have.
Maybe that's why she makes up excuses for her 2 losses and still can't admit Holly and Amanda were better fighters. Or at the very least they were the better fighters on that night. She just seem alike a really petty person.
I know every time Holly punched her or when she kicked her in the head I felt like she deserved it for not being a good sportsman, for being a mean person and for not touching gloves with Holly.
When she stood there staring at the ground as Holly's hand was raised I knew in that moment she got humbled. Also when the interviewer said she broke down doors for women to walk through forever. This ain't true. There was already women fighters and have been for a long time all she did was got Dana to bring them into the ufc. Permanently. I
Other fighting organizations already had women fighters and champions. And props to her for getting Dana to do that but at the same time it would have eventually happened with or without Rhonda. It just happened sooner. But between her coach and sone others like Joe Rogan over complementing her and her coach lying to her about how good her striking and boxing was. Was some of the biggest reasons she eventually lost. Her striking didn't change at all in 4 years. It never got refined or any better. But being told she could beat Olympic champion female boxers. And could beat flux mayweather gave her over confidence in her ability's that were actually garbage When she hit pads and shadow boxed anyone could see her form was trash And she never knew how to throw a proper punch or job and in the end it cost her the championship and her belt and her career as she didn't know how to take a loss or bounce back from it.
Ronda quotes at 9:54. "there has to be some fuck-you in you and...". That is the difference between an outstanding fighter like Ronda and an Idol. Ronda is probably the best, at least one of the best fighters. She probably fights her entire life. It is what it is, she is far from being an Idol. That is why she is not welcome anymore.
Ronda was the best woman when there was like 20 womens in total to choose from in MMA. Her limitations have always been there, but never been more obvious when
she actually got competition. The scariest thought is if she had retired before her fights with HH and AN, and people would actually think she could fight...

In all honesty, I hope she's getting some therapy because I've never seen someone want to play the victim so badly. There's zero sense of personal accountability for any of the issues she's struggling with. Yes, when you're in the public eye, there will always be a segment of the population that comes after you no matter what, but constantly lamenting everything around you without ever looking at your own behavior is going to lead to lifelong resentment and zero closure.
Ex-act-ly. Well said.
As an MMA fan I’ve never felt wronged by Ronda and I personally wouldn’t boo. Despite what you people want to say, I believe she is a great role model for all young women to believe in themselves. We can’t relate to her in any way shape of form so throwing brutal hate is simply just wild to me…
Well said, casuals and many others don’t understand the art of the fight!
Don't cover for her delusions like that. Also, if young girls really need a role model outside the family, Valentina Shevchenko is a much better option
@@Chino56751 who is Valentina S.?
@@ruthlessimage663 You could sweep Broadway with comedy like that
I’m someone who loved Ronda even after the Amanda fight. But I understand what happened, it’s not the fact that she lost… it was her attitude before and after losing which made people dislike her. She is probably surrounded by yes people, being accountable for your attitude or the way you respond to life situations is important. I’ve changed therapist who I felt were not holding me accountable. That’s how growth happens. She’s not disliked for losing,she’s disliked for the way she has shown to be on tv and interviews. I still like her but she just doesn’t have an ounce of humbleness or sound of growth as a person. So many greats have lost since and they handled it great and their attitude was good before and after losing.
Her first fight after she joined the UFC and ppened it up for other women to fight in the league is one favorite. Another moment is her emotional interview and her sworn vengeance after an opponent said that she hopes Ronda doesn't unalive herself after she will lose to her.

And she goes on the Ellen D show crying about thinking about suicide. Please. This is the way a bully responds. The worst loser in the history of the sport.
Yes, Rhonda was arrogant…she earned the right. Think about woman's UFC before her, no one cared. The cockiness was part of the act , like McGregor. All the woman who came after trained to beat her . She came at the right time for the sport.
Ronda put female mma on the map, she paved the way for it to grow. But she was a mentally weak fighter which is why she couldn’t recover from those loses. She embraced the villain roll while winning but was shattered by one loss. Meisha Tate was a contemporary and lost her fights to Ronda but kept working and eventually became champion. Conor Mcgregor embraced the villain role won, lost came back and won moved into boxing lost made a ton of money came back won, lost and is still an icon in the sport. Ronda’s mental weakness is the issue here and you hear it all the excuses. She was never the Lioness and no matter what Amanda Nunez’s was coming. Stylistically holly holm was a tough fight and she fought it wrong and feared a rematch with the same outcome. She’s only further destroying any respect I once had for her and her abilities.
Bro, nobody cares about women mma or fighting sports or EVEN WOMEN SPORTS in general. She's a sore loser.
You could certainly make the case that she was mentally weak. And you are more than entitled to lose respect for someone over that. But I don't think she deserves to be vilified for it industry-wide. Her crime was what exactly? Not speaking to reporters and retiring early?
@@ckdaimen8028 Her crime is playing the victim. You can’t embrace the villain role, talk big shit while she was on top, then get crushed by Holly, make no attempt to avenge the loss; make no adjustments to her game. Get demolished by Amanda for the money then quit, but still wants to be considered the greatest female fighter ever. At the same time she didn’t want any smoke from the media after losing, while dishing it out the whole time when she was on top. Look at some of the disrespectful stuff between her and Meisha and some of her other opponents. I think the industry wide stiff is how much her actual personality rubbed people the wrong way. When you listen to her interviews it’s everybody else’s fault. Everybody else is mean and unfair. It’s every excuse in the world why she lost. That’s what I don’t have respect for. She a delusional self centered person and it comes through when she speaks. That said, I enjoyed rooting for Ronda and I know that MMA would not be as big without her. I think people like her, Mcgregor, Jon jones and others who embrace the villain role and are great make the sport excel. But you gotta take the ups with the downs and you gotta be able to overcome adversity and losses. All the greats do except her.
yes
@@pierrecharles1317 I think as far as the industry point of it is concerned, this is mostly revisionist history. You're right that she had some criticism for her attitude and conduct, but things really took a turn after her loss to Holm because she didn't speak to the media. It was at that point the MMA media really piled on her for being a sore loser and poor sport and the fans followed suit. In reality, she was traumatized by losing. That may be difficult for fans and journalists to understand, but that's her business. People are affected by things differently.
I have a young friend who LOVED her and this is how I came to know her. I watched some videos of her fights. I’m really glad I watched this interview. She was raised by a champion Mom, who did a great job after her husband died. I hate to admit this, but I’m 66 and appreciate her. She’s a secure woman and admits she knows she was good. In this day and age everyone is so weak and run by feelings. We’re in a crazy world and there IS more to this life than what others think. I am more concerned what the Creator of the Universe thinks of me. My prayers are for her and her family. ❤
How does knowing you are good equate to a complete inability to show any humility in defeat?
you know nothing about her from this comment then lol. She was a middling fighter in a weak division who was feed weak opponents to build up a promotable fighter that the UFC could milk for money, she loved being in the role of the bully, and her ego got out of control the disrespect she would show her opponents is crazy. She actually thought she was the best ever to do it but came up against an actual champion of her division and got destroyed. Then she decided to show to world her true character crumbled made up every excuse why she lost, then to top it off looked for sympathy crying on talk shows saying how she wanted to die. She is the most deplorable women to ever compete in the UFC.
sorry to say this but she is an ahole to many people , and i used to be a fan of hers
She isn’t secure. Other wise she wouldn’t care what people thought and she could handle her losses like a true champion.

Your a strong fighter you work yourself in being the best Thank you
Dear Ronda Rousey: You are an absolute legend.
It’s a bit ridiculous. She was awesome. She lost some fights. Don’t most of them. She deserves to be recognised for her career. She isn’t perfect but she’s still human
Id like to see her start competing in submission grappling competition. Combat jujitsu ,Adcc ,pit submission, WNO
Rousey should be ashamed , she lost 2 matches like a chicken..
For some funny reason everyone calling ronda the female goat has never watched other organizations who had women, is a woman or Dana White
Now im not gonna blame some of the larger casual base especially girls who think that Ronda was" that great" since this is the only thing they were fed as dana white ensured the womens division was just the ronda show and effectively deleted almost every other women from the spotlight, the infamous"shes back " poster of the nunes fight showcases Ufc only promotes you if youre danas favourite , it reached its absurd heights when nunes was booed for existing, if i had a daughter i would show her many more female fighters to admire both in terms of skill and caracter , theres so many to choose, who had to overcome lifes hardships , bullying, mockery ,poverty and in this case victory and defeat , all things ronda avoided because everything had been handed to her for so long
I'll be honest I was hating on Ronda Rousey like everybody else and didn't want her to come back to UFC but now after watching this with her talking about how great she was or how great she is and all the work she's done from a young age training day & night fighting fight after fight not backing down from anyone no matter how ugly or pretty they looked she fought them and beat them that's what makes a person have the confidence to say or do anything with that said now I totally respect her as a fighter and a person and I'd want to see her back in UFC winning the belts again.
The humble Rousy is much better than what she was. Her success went to her head. Getting knocked down a few pegs was the best thing for her!
Travis was the one who helped her , holly holm destroyed her reputation
how many fights did Holly win after her one win against Rousey ??
Jealousy is a terrible thing. She is pretty and rich so many people are plain Jealous of her.
Ah so if she was ugly and somehow lost all her money, then she wouldn’t be getting any hate?
I enjoyed all her fights. She was a great fighter.
Crazy how big of an Ego she still has after her legacy was erased in one night by holly holm and walked out of the top 10 all time in less than 5 years after the loss.
The absolute GOAT of woman's UFC .
Doesn't deserve the hate !
If MMA fans put the misogyny down for a min, can someone explain how Rhonda's arrogance & boastfullness is different to someone like Connor?
Connor is genuinely hilarious that’s he’s loved/liked. Rousey is like Mayweather without the same skill level and takes zero accountability. Putting this down to her sex, is boring and lazy.
Hggg
Lol Connor doesn't exist no more
Its a hard sport...can't blame her for getting in the zone. You do whatever it takes to get the job done. Ronda if you read this... you made your mark in this world keep your head high because you achieved something most people can't.
Rhonda is a great Judoka. She did great in Judo. Trained by her Gold Olympian Judoka mother. Made a milestone in MMA. It's not easy to get a well rounded trainer. I believe her male trainer was green behind the ears. In MMA some stay for a while, some stay on top for a decade. You have to be in great shape and you have to train every day. Most competitors/fighters need several trainers. There's no know all, end-all in training. Most competitors struggle with ego issues. I know most people do. I don't think it justifies vilifying Rhonda. I think she was a great competitor, a great MMA fighter. I think no matter what she contributed and instead of vilifying her, we might be able to stand up and give her a standing ovation for the positive contributions she has made. Everyone has a story. There are just too many irrational MMA fanfare. They love you, they hate...move on irrational fanfare. She's human.
Cool story. Now shut up.
Part of me thinks that the only one who believes that "it wasn't enough" is her.
I think most people would love to give her a standing ovation for how amazing of a fighter she has been. She was an inspiration to endless people, me included. I do think most would have loved to hear her recognize the loss, admit that eventually she got outclassed and then move on to enjoy her well deserved legacy. But that does not mean at all that every one forgot everything she has accomplished in the sport.
Listening to this it really seems to me that still today admitting she just lost two matches is too much, she just prefers to not read any media or comment online because all she sees is the negativity, even if it's not all there is at all.
We hate her
Hey!!!...Ronda!!!...AMANDA, said, SHE'LL give you a rematch if you wish to come back...OH!!!...and HOLLY said so too. ...you should give it a try, you know, avenge your losses like True Champions do...oh, my bad...you were never a True Champion though.
Good interview
It's been nearly 10 years. Get over it Ronda you lost. The bantamweight division went up in class or you got figured out and you lost. It's ok you've still got your marbles and you're a millionaire.
You’re here commenting, you’re clearly not over it either 😂
Love or hate, she’s absolutely a pioneer for women in combat sports. I’ve been watching since the beginning. From Tank Abbot to present. Ronda changed the sport.

Exactly. She puts out the same tired BS story of coming up the hard way and fighting for that top spot. No she didn't. She was given the Bantamweight Championship belt upon her entrance to the UFC. That's right, I said it: she didn't EARN it, it was GIVEN to her. Her very first fight in the UFC (vs. Liz Carmouche) was a win and it's officially listed that she "Defended the UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship." Look it up, I'm serious. If that isn't special-treatment, what the hell is?
Gina Carano and Cyborg came before Rhonda. Dana during this time did not want women in ufc and for years said that.
I really enjoyed this interview. I saw a different side of her. I gained a lot respect for her.
I agree, great discussion with Ronda .
She is beautiful and intelligent, no matter what anyone says. I’m sure it’s a lot of pressure to have your brain running like hers all the time. She’s a legend in my book
Idc what they say about Rhonda I will always Admire Her. ❤❤❤
Womp womp. In the most humble sport she chose to be egotistical even after getting absolutely destroyed in her last 2 fights. This is her fault and until she realizes that nothing will change.

Facts
So you are happy?
One thing I do want to talk about is your dad
The fans turned on her because she made constant excuses and threw loads of fits after the holly fight, not because she lost. The fact she refuses to understand that hurts my head 54:18
Physically Ronda is an incredibly gorgeous woman but her constant excuses and complaining makes her kind of ugly. It also hurts her overall legacy. If she had just come right out and admitted that Holly Holm had Amanda Nunez were just better in their fights and admitted that wwe tried forced her onto the fans she might not be looked on so negatively today. When she first came to wwe in 2018 I predicted that within a year she would win either women's championship in wwe the fans would feel she was being forced on them and turn on her and that's exactly what happened. Another thing Ronda couldn't figure out was in both ufc and wwe when fans pay their hard earned money to see a show live they have the right to cheer or boo whoever they want
She is Beautiful, Dangerous and well mannered woman.
If ronda returns to mma i would be one of the first ones to buy the ppv
You like wasting money huh?
@@professionalpookie on a sport i like to watch yes been a fan and i practice myself lol why the question
ill here it the next day dont waste your money
@@michaelruiz6616 what?
People have gotten her so wrong they say she has got ego but that was never her ego it was just hard for her to digest those losses and that she couldn't just pretend to smile when she wasn't in a mood and sure she let her anxieties and anger get the best of her at times but she was never arrogant and look she paid the price being the most humble in front of media and fans which is not a right thing to do as not all fans are sunshine and rainbows
Oh well she lost. She needs to get the fuck over it and move on. Today's women's division is far more different than yesteryear. She would have lost to Today's current fighters. One trick pony at 👌.
I'll never forget Ronda trying to break the top of Holly's left foot with the right side of her head... Fkn perfect !!! :)
Yeah mate 👍🏽 thank you 🙏🏽
She got served humble pie and she didn’t like how it tasted
Nobody can humble her , you domt know anything about het
At least she still has her rugged good looks.
Ronda "easily rocked" Rousey 😂
You are Welcome
She could still have a great career in the UFC but when she lost a couple of fights she didn't want to play anymore. Our favorite fighters are humble after a fight, no matter the outcome.
Takes L. Retires. Signs to WWE. Most disappointing act of humbleness
Her losing was like watching the nuggets and warriors lose 😂😂😂
It was awesome 😂😂😂
4 championships
This felt like a job interview
