Rousey v Holm

[Godboy]

If you have the expectation that fighters shouldnt lose a fight ever, youre being unrealistic and it demonstrates how little you know about the sport. This isnt boxing where they get spoon fed easy opponents and they win 50 in a row. That doesnt happen in MMA; it never has happened and never will.

I have an expectation that athletes know their limits and when they're no longer the biggest dog in the pack they go quietly into the night without embarrassing themselves like Rousey did last night

Well that includes every single fighter then. If you had it your way, the sport wouldnt even exist.

Name one fighter who is considered to be one of the greatest fighters of all time, who is also undefeated. You cant. They dont exist. Fedor, GSP, A Silva, Mighty Mouse, Rickson Gracie, Cain Velasquez, BJ Penn, Hughes, Bas Rutten and any other fighter you care to mention, all have losses.

Chris Weidman is undefeated, but he isnt considered to be in the "Greatest of all time" category... yet.

You are also making newb assumptions. Just because Rhonda lost to Holly, doesnt mean Holly is the overall better fighter. She might be, but chances are she wont be as dominant as Rhonda was. Styles make fights, and every fighter has their kryptonite, including Holly Holms. You also need to factor in game plans. Rhonda could come back and smoke Holly in the rematch, if she implements a smarter game plan than chasing after a chick who is an expert counter puncher. Again, there are MANY variables in MMA that dont exist in other combat sports.

The other day she came out and said she supported Sanders for president. Stupid is as stupid does. Lol

I didn't watch the whole fight...just the clip...looks like she was already rocked and disoriented and when she turned her back on holms it was over.

Her problem was she tried to bum rush Holly like she did to all her previous opponents. Even when it was obvious that it wasnt working, instead of changing her strategy, she just kept running after her. She got counter punched to death and looked ridiculous the entire time. It was a very bad night for Rhonda.

Ronda Rousey got knocked the **** out tonight by Holly Holm. First loss! It's like seeing Tyson get knocked out by James Buster Douglas.

When did Rhonda rape a guy?

Don't know if Rousey ever raped anyone, but below is a story that's a part of her autobiography...


Last summer, Rousey released her autobiography, “My Fight/Your Fight.” The book contains a narrative about a former boyfriend she caught taking nude photographs of her without her knowledge. The incident led to Rousey, by her own admission, initiating an altercation with the man:

“I deleted the photos. Then I erased the hard drive. Then I waited for Snappers McCreepy to come home from work. I stood frozen like a statue in his kitchen, getting angrier and angrier. I started cracking my knuckles and clenched my teeth. The longer I waited, the madder I got. Forty-five minutes later, he walked in the door. He saw my face and froze. He asked what was wrong and when I didn’t say anything, he started to cry. I slapped him across the face so hard my hand hurt.”

After multiple expletives from both sides, Rousey wrote, she continued the altercation:

"He wouldn’t move. I punched him in the face with a straight right, then a left hook. He staggered back and fell against the door. ... I slapped him with my right hand. He still wouldn't move. Then I grabbed him by the neck of his hoodie, kneed him in the face, and tossed him aside on the kitchen floor."

The fight ended after Rousey went to her car and he jumped into the passenger seat, grabbing the steering wheel. “I walked around the car, pulled him by the neck of the hoodie again, dragged him onto the sidewalk and left him writhing there as I sped away.”

Six straight title defense wins isnt fraudulent. Every fight she ever had (before last night), she finished... 11 out of 12 which were first round finishes. Ive never been fond of Rhonda, but you have to give credit where credit is due.

A fighter is only as good as their last fight. I HAD a lot if respect for Ronda before last night. I've read her book, watched her fights, and felt that she might be someone worth paying attention to. I was wrong.

I lost almost all that reapect for her last night. I have a little left because she didn't hang around for the media BS.

The reason she didn't hang around for the media is because she was put in the hospital.

That's why she missed the press conference. She left the ring without doibg the in-ring media either.

If sge was true to her word, she'd have been somewhere other than in the hospital after liss.

Winners win and Losers lose. Those are the only two categories in any competitive event. There are no excuses. Someone has more points. Someone gets their hand raised. That's the winner. Someone wasted a portion of their (and their sipporters) lives. They're the losers.

She would deserve it for wasting my entire evening and costing me $90 in food and drinks at the bar last night.0

Why ANY fighter would touch gloves before a fight is beyond me. Just like the asinine handshakes after sporting events. Your opponrnt is your enemy, not a friend.

It's time to fall on her proverbial sword and lwave the MMA world. If nit, then her whole "I'd rather due than lose" but is shtick and notibg else.

Well, that's because you're an asshole.

You're like a sports writer that one week says a team is great because they won and sucks ass because they lost.

This is what happens when you try to play someone else's game out of pride. She's a grappler and the other girl was a champion boxer. I would have just wrestled with the *****. She wouldn't have had a chance.

Assholes with attitudes like yours are bad for sports.
