Rousey just faced off against someone who knew how to beat her. Holm is a solid counter puncher and Rousey was pretty aggressive which is what did her in. That and she tried to test her striking against a former boxing & kickboxing champion.

Or it was on points scored. Look at the condition of the taunter's face at the end.

It was a judge's decision. MMA is scored like pro boxing, on a ten-point-must system where the winner of a round gets ten points and the loser nine or less. There are no "scored points" in that there aren't points scored directly for a punch of takedown.

On a hilarious note about that fight, though. The white guy acting like an rear end in a top hat (Nick Diaz) was trying to taunt a guy known for taunting people and acting like an rear end in a top hat in fights (Anderson Silva), and after Silva won the decision BOTH guys were caught with drugs in their system: Silva for steroids and Diaz for pot. Both were suspended and the fight was a No Contest.

And a lot of schaden comes from the media buildup of her as some kind of undefeatable titan. Before her loss, she was a media darling who was doing photoshoots, magazine covers, the whole nine yards. A lot of that went around the idea of her being undefeated, which was just tempting fate. And when the eventual finally happened, she was just dropped like a lead weight. Funny if you like it when people inflated by the media get popped, not so when you realize she went through some hard times afterwards and pondered suicide. But then again, who the hell tempts fate by saying you'll never be defeated? She was basically living Rocky III.

Dropped like a dead weight except for hosting SNL, appearing on a lot of talk shows and starring in upcoming movies including a remake of Roadhouse?

She wasn't dropped by the media, she just stopped taking things to social media as much, presumably to stop herself from hearing the shitstorm of people acting smug about her losing. Not to say she's handled the loss well, not by any stretch of the imagination, but she certainly wasn't ignored immediately following, that's just silly.

Thats not quite true, at least form what I could find a couple months ago when I checked it out. Do you have some more evidence? The most I could find is a tweet that was deleted to some truther vid where all she said was "makes ya think" which is pretty close but not beyond a reasonable doubt to convict her of trutherism.

No, you're right, it was one tweet that showed a little human curiosity and naivete, which of course gets extrapolated into giving talks across the country about crisis actors.

No, I do not make a habit of running directly into moving vehicles because I am not a drooling retard.

Let's say a you are crossing the street. A car turns onto the street from a nearby intersection. The driver isn't paying attention and you can see that at your current pace the car is going to hit you. Do you:

a.) Speed up to finish crossing and remove yourself from the car's path
b.) Continue at your current pace and let the car hit you
c.) Stand in the middle of the street and wait for the car to pass
d.) decide that you really didn't want to cross anyway and go back, hoping that no cars are coming from the opposite direction

Three of these answers are dumb and one is good imo

She described it as "extremely interesting" and a "must watch" and further tweets almost literally said she was "just asking questions". Like she's not doing speeches about 9/11, but you have to be pretty dense to think she's not a moron for that.

I can't for the life of me find it, but I remember a Cracked article that was full of stuff like it. My personal favourite was a big, I think, Russian dude that had a fight cut short due to a cut above his eye. Apparently in the rematch he just beat the poo poo out of his opponent to the point just before the round would end, purely so he could prove to everyone he should have won the initial bout.

Weeks before her death Dr Strydom told how she and her husband wanted to dispel the belief that vegans were 'weak' or 'malnourished' by taking on the climb.

'It seems that people have this warped idea of vegans being malnourished and weak.

'By climbing the seven summits we want to prove that vegans can do anything and more,' she said in an interview with the university where she worked.

Considering she was on magazine covers and doing a lot of photoshoots and stuff, going to host SNL, doing talk shows, and.....you know, if doing a remake of Roadhouse is a good thing, then I think you proved my point better than I could. But the point was that after her loss her star fell. It could have been due to overexposure, but it's easy to see that after she hit the mat the attitude around her changed. In some respect it almost went to Helm, but she didn't embrace it nearly as much so when she eventually lost it didn't really matter as it wasn't the undefeated getting trashed but just simply a fight lost.

"Vegans aren't weak! We can do anything and do it well!" *dies on the mountain due to exhaustion and lack of oxygen possibly from not eating enough protein*

This reminds me of a girl I used to work with that was a hardcore vegan. At first she seemed flighty, but then she really got weird where you could tell there was something wrong with her brain that maybe eating meat could have helped with (mood swings, irrational behavior, some strange logical leaps). These include: trying to save a raccoon she half-crushed with her car by running around to very single vet's office on a Saturday night to 'save' it, jumping out of her boyfriend's truck headfirst into a curb (losing her sense of smell and taste), and then screaming out a story about how losing her virginity turned her clit black and blue and made it swell to the size of a watermelon while the store was full of customers.

And this being retail, she eventually made manager after I left, and was running the store by the time it closed five years later. So yeah, vegans....kinda crazy. Makes Dr. Climb-Every-Mountain seem almost sane.
