Lol Ronda Rousey

[Deadlyx39]

She lost. Now we can finally stop hearing about her being the best fighter of all time.

I don't think losing a single fight makes you less of a good fighter. You also phrase this sort of like you think she was a shitty fighter, which she simply isn't.

But she's not the greatest of all time like everyone claims. Never said she wasn't a good fighter, just not G.O.A.T. There's much better fighters, like Royce Gracie.

I'm in agreement with XelNya -- this, "the best" can lose... It's definitely a debatable topic, but I don't think her loss proves or disproves anything aside from "she's unbeatable"

I don't recall anyone saying she was unless it was about women fighters, and even then it's like when you watch fuckin' LoL live streams, some of that shit is just media bullshit.

No one is truly unbeatable. It's silly to ever assume otherwise.

/Not saying you did this, generalized statement

Honestly Idk I think she made a terrible choice to try to fight that chick head to head when she's a better boxer. It seemed like her ego kinda went to her head with the UFC hypes her up and she just thought "even though she's a trained boxer I'm gonna beat her at her own style". It really looked like Rousey was just purely outclassed.

I've also been saying for awhile now that I didn't think she could hold up going multiple rounds and look what happened.

I have a problem with Ronda Rousey because she says stuff like this. Then, she goes out and says something like this. I understand that a man fighting a woman shouldn't be something that we as a society should be watching, but when you say something like that, it feels like her being way too confident in herself, until she realizes that people actually wanted to see her fight a man.

Plus there was that whole her beating Floyd Mayweather fiasco a while ago.

How much do we want to bet that Holly Holm is gonna get referenced in the likes of Buster Douglas? (In case someone doesn't know, Buster Douglas was the guy that KO'd Mike Tyson as a huge betting underdog after going multiple rounds.)

Dude, the Las Vegas odds for Holm to win were ridiculous
Like I bet there is someone out there tonight who made soooooo much money off of that fight.

Do you actually think a man and a woman having a consensual physical fight is really something we shouldn't watch as a society?

Like, really?

It sounds like I'm layin' into you a bit thick on the small stupid seeming stuff, but come on. I suspect it's just poor phrasing, but just. Yuck.

/and I'm fine getting off topic because the main topic is really stupid.

[_Zenith_]

I'm glad that Ronda lost because she really needed to deflate the ego, however I have to agree with Xel in saying that one loss does not prove that she is any less of a fighter she was previously before starting the fight. If anything is to be noticed less, it is hopefully that ego.

Rousey was attackinng the WHOLE time, that was why she got beat so bad. Holm looked like she was running away the first round, but really she was just watching and assessing Rousey. Holm used Rousey's momentum against her multiple times and made her look really stupid a couple times. I think Ronda should have been going for takedowns more because, really, her ground game is her greatest strength. She played right into Holm's hands. It was a great fight to watch.

I saw a guy at the bar last night who claimed to have bet $2 million on that fight. I don't know for who, I didn't see him the rest of the night.

[Ohaider]

so god damn overconfident and cocky as of late, nice to see her ego pushed back a bit by a pretty big loss especially from someone as cool as holly, elbow game strong

[j-rodd123]

it was so damn satisfying

[Wayward Vagabond]

there was no mud or jiggling titties so this fight was of no importance to me

Do you actually read the links you post or do you just read the tagline and move on?

First link: Joe Rogan was the one who said he thought Rousey could beat a lot of the guys. Rousey's response was basically 'anything is possible'. She isn't saying 'I can definitely beat anyone, I'm the best', she's saying 'I can't categorically say [person A] can or can't beat [person B] because anything is possible'. Using the very same statement you can say that she has also stated she could lose to 100% of them, because you can't say there's a 100% chance that she can beat anyone.

Second link: Both Rousey and UFC president Dana White agree that fights between men and women would not be appropriate. What's wrong with that? This doesn't contradict your first link.

Using both links, essentially Rousey has said 'theoretically anyone can beat anyone, I could beat a guy, but personally I'd never want to see a man fight a woman or participate in such an event'.


On the topic of UFC, I personally like all the showboating and theatrics. It's like when I watched wrestling as a kid. Some of the most entertaining UFC fighters to watch are the ones who trash talk. Just look at Conor McGregor.

[PhantomPuppy]

i dont really think she's that cocky of a fighter (compared to most people ive been with throughout sports). if anything, she makes statements like "nobody has the right to beat me", but it seems more to me like she's challenging every other fighter to up their game and prove themselves. it's like... if there were only one active D7 in the world because everybody else left at the same time and everybody else were D1 or 2 lol. then all of a sudden a bunch of other people finally hit D7 and start whoopin on that D7 that was alone for so long. weird analogy, but anyway, now that she's been beaten, its like "ok, you've proven yourself. congrats." she can't really take anything away from holm, because she obviously put the effort in if she was able to take rousey down.

just my opinion on the matter, but i dont think rousey deserves a bunch of crap for losing the fight, because she's honestly not that bad of a fighter, nor that cocky of one.

You might be a biiit biased about McGregor. Just maybe...


Anyway, Ronda actually said that if a fight like this were to happen, that she could beat 100% of bantamweight class men in a SportsCenter interview.

Conor McGregor was born in Dublin, which is the Republic of Ireland. It's a different country to Northern Ireland. I'd say to pay more attention in your geography classes but that would be implying that Northern Ireland and Ireland get discussed in American education beyond the potato famine and the troubles, or that anyone actually listens.

If I was going to be biased towards anyone in UFC I'd have to go for someone like Norman Parke, though personally I prefer fighters like Dan Henderson and Lyoto Machida.

That's the exact same quote that was quoted in your first link so I'll just reiterate my original comment:

She isn't saying 'I can definitely beat anyone, I'm the best', she's saying 'I can't categorically say [person A] can or can't beat [person B] because anything is possible'.
