^^ both of you guys neglected to mention the cool way in which she handled her only UFC loss after riding on a sea of fame, fortune, poo poo talk and movie deals for like 3 years

Haha well yeah... It was pretty clear she wanted to make the move to Hollywood. She even strongly hinted(or outright said?) that after she beat Holm she was going to leave fighting indefinitely.

I respected Ronda for her skills. I never thought she fought anyone with her same skill level, but as I said I think it was because they simply didn't have enough fighters to pick from. I don't mind her "me against the world" attitude. I don't care if she doesn't shake hands and all that. I thought it was silly that she tried waaayyyy too hard to sell beef with Holm. And it was obvious Holm got in her head before the fight. Seeing her get ko'd was deeply satisfying and it's god drat hilarious that she ragequit.

Yeah, seeing Rousey lose her cool in that stare down was telling that Holm had gotten into her head.

RIP Josh Koscheck
every fighter says they're going to impose their will and make their opponent quit and it makes me remember GSP making Matt Hughes verbally tap and BJ Penn literally quitting a fight between rounds while his corner's all v:confused:v and a closeup of eggplants erupting from Koschek's face bc these are the lvls of destruction required to ever use these phrases

dang i forgot how much i miss GSP he was always mild mannered and sportsmanlike and beat the unholy piss out of men like a true gentleman :3: but now UFC markets unclassy trash like the stupid irish guy and the whiny diaz brother who never went to speech therapy

I just appreciate the sportsmanship between some of the fighters, I really liked how conor and nate diaz treated each other at the end of their 5 round war, it was pretty civil and they respect each other a lot

my fav moment of this was this one fighter responding to the crowd booing the heavyweight champ right after he knocked out that gta4 create a character

Ronda mostly just did her normal poo poo talking and mean mugging and got ZERO reaction from Holm. Holm just laughed it all off for the most part. Then Ronda got clowned on at the weigh-ins and looked like a bitch. That's never happened to her before.

Her ego was at it's peak, and I honestly think she was scared for the first time on top of it all. She probably didn't put in the amount of training she should have because of her acting and other distractions. I think she realised all this at the 11th hour.

ronda bought into her own hype; holm did not buy into ronda's hype. This caused ronda to have a meltdown before the fight, a second one during the fight, and a third apocalypticly bigger and messier one after the fight because, surprise surprise, she's not that smart.

In the grim darkness of the future there is only Oakley.

Honestly Rhonda probably would've won if she stuck with grappling. Instead she tried the "I'm going to beat her at her own game of striking." This worked on her previous opponent because she wasn't that good.

You shouldn't try out-strike one of the best strikers in the world in your division though. Holm just loving ruined her and her corner probably didn't do Rhonda any favours because it seemed like the game plan was definitely "yeah your striking game is up to par."

I feel kinda bad for female mma fighters because they have to devote their lives and hours every day to get to a level of fitness where they might last more than 30 seconds with your average dude before they get the tar beaten out of them again for burning the roast.

Like if you are really that afraid of domestic abuse either dont date/leave assholes or just make dinner on time. This isn't rocket science
