Re: Ronda Rousey: Official Discussion Thread
From the first Tate fight forward, the media has overreacted to everything that Ronda did. The thing is, if you're a smart fighter, you're supposed to use that to your advantage, not let it get to you.
Ronda let it all get to her. She got a big head while she was winning, and then got pouty and withdrawn when it went the other way. Sure, she got rich, but it looks like she got entitled too. Hopefully she snaps out of that and finds her balance, because WMMA is a better place when Ronda has an involvement in it. |

When you reach a certain level of celebrity, you are not in control of your life anymore. There are an overwhelming amount of demands and obligations. The person who put it best is, I think, Kristin Usry of the Women's MMA Roundup who said "The UFC broke their Ronda toy". She is, of course, referring to Rousey's insane schedule leading up to Melbourne and the Holm fight. I'm not saying she didn't buy into her own hype, frankly I don't know how any normal person could avoid that, entirely. But it was clear to those of us who had followed every aspect of Ronda's public life very closely that she was not at her best for that fight. She seemed emotionally fragile, didn't look in her best physical condition and, of course, didn't perform well in the cage. "The thing is, if you're a smart fighter, you're supposed to use that to your advantage, not let it get to you." I'm sorry but this could only have been written by someone without a lot of media literacy. It has nothing to do with how "smart" a fighter is and the idea that they could somehow control the media is unrealistic. They're fighters, not PR strategists. Added after 5 minutes: Quote:
The "shot heard round the world" has been used many times to describe the knockout, he's hardly the first. It may be a cliché but it was a fairly shocking event, even outside the MMA world. As for fact-checking, I didn't see anything he got wrong. What did I miss? Last edited by brooksie; 05-Feb-17 at 07:54. |

But seeing what was done to her by Holly, they DEFINITELY screwed up by bringing Ronda back to fight Amanda with no warm-ups in-between. Quote:

Tons of people were telling Ronda she was invincible; she was even a match for Mayweather. I'm sure she didn't buy into this completely, but she bought in enough that she obviously didn't have the right strategy for Holly. And then she didn't take the right approach to train for Nunes. And that may not have mattered; she can't handle that style, plain and simple. That's fine; just don't go into a shell afterwards. Be forthright, admit the weakness, and either retire or remake yourself like tons of other fighters do. |

Rogan comes clean! Been a while coming, but I'll tip my cap to him for manning up and owning what he said
