Re: Ronda Rousey vs Amanda Nunes
I don't think the coach (while he's clearly incompetent) is the main problem. She doesn't have the right attitude to training and has been in conflict with every single coach she has had. Edmond is the only one who seems to know how to work with her due to his emotional manipulation and put her in a mental state where she felt invincible with his "yes man" attitude and complementing her all the time but now it obviously backfired. Still, who knows what would have been.
Had she trained in Jackson Wink or some other gym she would probably storm out the first time someone would be too harsh with criticism or after someone would rough her up at sparring. The thing is she is good at judo but just doesn't have the talent for boxing. Striking and grappling are different things, some people just can't be good at both. A lot of decorated male wrestlers and judokas just don't like to get hit and have shit striking and don't go far while some master it naturally. The coach can only do so much, naturally talented boxers have been monsters way before they got elite coaching, the elite coaches just fix the details and give them some basic gameplans. |

I don't know for sure about MMA, I think I read that she tried 3 different coaches before going with Edmond but Edmond has been her only coach since he debuted. She also worked with Rener Gracie (he was her grappling coach) who used to be in her corner up until this last fight so maybe she split with him too. |

Ronda Rousey’s coach on possible suicidal thoughts post-UFC 207 knockout loss - 'There is no concern'
by Adam Guillen Jr. Jan 2, 2017, 7:00pm EST After Ronda Rousey suffered the first loss of her career, getting knocked out by Holly Holm at UFC 193 in Melbourne, Australia, back in Nov. 2015, "Rowdy" admitted she went down a dark path that included suicidal thoughts. After more than one year away from mixed martial arts (MMA) competition, Rousey returned to the Octagon last Friday night (Dec. 30, 2016) at UFC 207, suffering an even quicker defeat, this time at the hands of current division champion, Amanda Nunes (see it again here). So what is Rousey’s mental state following the 48-second technical knockout loss? According to her nutritionist, Mike Dolce, she’s in a better place than she was after UFC 193, revealing this time around there are no suicidal thoughts creeping into her head. In addition, he explained the reason she took the loss to Holm much harder during a recent appearance on "The MMA Hour:" "No, there is no concern about that. She’s in a great place and she has an amazing support system around her, truly. I think she’s at an excellent point in her life. And this is my personal opinion -- what happened in Australia against Holly, that was like a death. It was a death of who she wanted to be, and she was trying to be the first and only undefeated retired champion. And when that became impossible, it became difficult for her and for us. For those closest to her, it was difficult for us to go through, but we rebounded and came up with a different gameplan." Being around top-level fighters throughout his career, Dolce knows just how different fighters react after crushing losses. As for what he sees from Rousey, she’s doesn’t become aggressive like many do, but rather she opts to isolate herself. "I’ve been with athletes, and I don’t want to name names, that just destroy locker rooms, hotel rooms. They become extremely despondent and belligerent to the people closest to them. Ronda doesn’t do any of that, so I think it’s just different. Each athlete is different, their internal drive is different and their external representation of what’s happening inside is different. Ronda becomes rather quiet, and standoffish and needs her space, which is very important. Some athletes act out in a more aggressive matter, male and female, so it’s not just a guy thing. So I wouldn’t say it’s much different, it more individual-wise." Indeed, Rousey -- unlike after her loss to Holm -- released a statement almost immediately following her defeat to "Lioness," revealing that she would take time off before deciding her next MMA move. Meanwhile, those closest to her would prefer she use her other skills to make a living and retire from face-punching altogether. |

Re: Ronda Rousey vs Amanda Nunes
One of the running themes throughout practically every article/interview about Ronda over the last year-plus is other people and what they did to "prepare her" or "support her", how they dealt with her losing, what THEY want, etc. And now you've got a nutritionist speculating about whether she's suicidal? What in the actual FUCK, yo? A nutritionist??
It's a pretty big leap (of arrogance) from "I cook her food" (or guide her meal plan) to "I'm a confidante who can speak with certainty about her innermost thoughts hours after she's just had her bell rung". Will the fuckstick parade ever end?

As for MMA, I've often heard fighters advise people to make sure they check out a few gyms and try to find one that seems to fit so, again, maybe it's not all that unusual to look around a bit before settling down. I have heard about fighters who are considered "gym hoppers", who can't seem to stay with any one gym. As for Rener Gracie, I know he's gotten pretty busy with his seminars, plus it seems like Ronda's main focus has been boxing, not that you'd have known it from the fight.
