I swear that KO vs Bethe probably ruined Rouseys career, it made her believe she had hands. It truly is incredible how she still has no head or lateral movement. She walks forward and throws punches, that's it. Trainers are paid, right? If so, she should try to get her money back. | ||

Who on goddam planet earth advised her to trade with Nunes ??? Rousey is a terrible boxer, stiff as a pillar and zero head movement. Rhonda is like Lesnar : a one trick pony who's very good at that trick but who cannot afford to get out of her comfort zone. | ||

Ronda is 3000% overrated, has never had ANY striking at all. Her only real TKO win is vs Bethe.. A fighter who got into MMA because she was overweight and wanted to lose weight and the only reason Bethe got a title shot was because she fought Rondas trash teammates. Just check Rondas sherdog profile, the "TKO" vs Sarah was total bullshit early stoppage by Herb Dean. She surrounded herself with yes men and this is what happens. Bye Ronda, you had entertaining fights but you are done. Your mystique is gone. Sad about Dom losing, especially vs Garbrandt too.. FML. Now theres a freaking fratboy champion. Hopefully TJ the Snake can win vs him. | ||

At least Kron Gracie choked out Kawajiri in his 5th mother fucking MMA fight, some high level BJJ and dirty boxing. I would feel bad for her if she took any of her last loss criticism. She basically went on Ellen and said in her mind she was still undefeated blablabla. She needs a new training center, her coach is a major fraud and everyone even her mom has told her so but she just refused to listen to any advice. | ||

Who on goddam planet earth advised her to trade with Nunes ??? Totally on board for mob justice against Edmond Tarverdyan Should be blacked balled from the entire profession/planet. OMFG the people screaming at the bar (some pretty terrible fans with more money than sense) had better advice. Tarverdyan: Make her miss, miss, miss! Tarverdyan: Ronda, make her miss! Second cornerman: Be patient. Pick your moments Fight starts. Tarverdyan: Head movement! Head movement! Head movement! Head movement! Head movement! Head movement! Head movement! Tarverdyan: Yes, move! Rousey is already taking a few punches at this point, unable to properly defend. She continues to take damage as the following takes place. Tarverdyan: Hands up! Hands up! Hands up! Catch her! Clinch! Second cornerman: Get to the head! Rousey is unable to get the clinch, starts taking worse damage as Nunes lands some power shots. Tarverdyan: Head movement! Good job! Jab! Rousey is unable to establish the jab or fight back. She takes a defensive position with a high guard on her left side as she continues to take more punishment. Tarverdyan: Move, move! Come on, please! Rousey starts to move to her left as more shots keep coming. Tarverdyan: Move, move, move! Clinch, clinch, clinch, clinch, clinch, clinch!! Nunes finishes Rousey, makes the shushing sign as she walks triumphantly around the cage. Tarverdyan: NO! NOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOO!! NOOO!! NOOO!! NO! NO!! Nunes makes her way to Tarverdyan and says a few things before popping her head out of the cage to say a few more bon mots. Edmond remains quiet during this part. Tarverdyan: (as Amanda walks away) Move, (unintelligible)... move! Fuck! link | ||

I don't know what Ronda has against using wrestling to take someone down. I know she has knee problems, but they're that bad, should she even be fighting? | ||

getting on the cover of some boxing magazine and knocking out bethe probably got into her head "she beats up every boxing champion" | ||

Every UFC fighter has to claim they have strengths in several areas to at least create some doubt in their opponent's mind about what they will do during the fight. Ronda does the exact same thing. Her actions the last 2 fights are louder than her team's words. She tries to enter and initiate a clinch during both fights several times. In this last fight she tried to initiate a clinch 4 times in 45 seconds. She knows she is not a great striker. Holm and Nunes had a 3 inch reach and 1 inch height advantage. The majority of their strikes connected on the ends of their punches to keep their hips as far away from Rousey's hips and her biggest strength: the judo clinch. Actions speak louder than words. Especially BS promo words used to sell a PPV. | ||
