as far as the one trick pony line...from the godfather of MMA himself "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." Bruce Lee
If she would've just kept doing the armbars, well eventually she still would've lost because she wasnt super great at it either, but she straight up abandoned her grappling game which was totally the wrong decision
Yup, and we all should keep in mind that every opponent knew before hand that the armbar was her go to finish. Meaning any coach worth their salt would have their fighter religiously drilling armbar defense and escapes, and yet she still kept hitting it. If it wasn't for her arrogance and poor choice of coaches, she could have been a perennial contender in her division if not champion. Sadly, none of that helps her image or how likable she is, and she's only made that worse in the years since her losses to Holmes and Nunez.
And Rhonda‘s career proves that statement to be true, as she won almost every fight with the move that she was very good at. But it also exposes the flaw in the logic of that statement, because a man who has practised one move 10,000 times is very predictable and the easiest to beat once you have a reliable counter to that move.
My issue with her is that she was the "Baddest women on the planet",got wrecked, then was silent for months, then she joined WWE and it was the whole " im the greatest again ".
@@oldeskul She had the mic skills as it were in UFC. That clip of her talking about beating Holly Holmes, showed she was fine in a natural environment, but she got in the WWE ring and might of been the crappy promos she was given. She got lost.
@@frankiejames7427 the difference is, most people move on while Ronda went silent and went to the Ellen Show to cry 💀 if you're gonna smack talk, he sure to back it up or at leats accept defeat she couldn't do either Conor McGregor got humbled, then kept smack talking and beat Nate Diaz in the rematch
The worst part about her attitude that's all "Oh without the script saying so none of these girls could actually beat me"? I'm sorry, I think I can name a couple of women who very easily could beat her. I feel like I'm cheating when I say Nia Jax and Awesome Kong could destroy her without any BJJ training, given the weight difference, but Natalya also was trained by people who respected real amateur wrestling so even she would stand a chance. And don't get me started on Charlotte, she's got a foot of reach on her and 20 pounds.
Man or women if you fight you win or lose. If you can't accept that, you better get out and accept that. That's you have to get over. Or get ready for a big fall in life.
Referance Time stamp (11:45) Speaking as a combat arms veteran who served in both Bosnia and Iraq, Ronda Rousey has never been in a REAL FIGHT either. WWE and MMA are both structured. One may have a script but both have rules, boundaries, and referees. A "real fight' is choas, fear, blood and often death. Ronda Rousey may be a professional fighter but that doesn't mean she is a "REAL" warrior. I was a small cog in a very BIG machine doing what I hoped was righteous work. I am humbled everyday by the efforts and sacrifice of those I served with. REAL fighters/warriors aren't arrogant. They are just happy to have survived.
We pro wrestling fans will not argue with you that pro wrestlers are actively trying to hurt one another, most of the time. We pro wrestling fans will not argue with you that the outcome of the matches have been predetermined. We'll agree that it's pageantry, it's a big show, it's action entertainment. That's a big part of why we love it. To say it's fake is wrong, they're putting their health, their safety, their lives and their livelihoods on the line week in and week out with no safety nets, no helmets, no body padding and no second takes. If you insist it's fake, then I defy you to step into a ring and take a few bumps. See how it feels when your spine hits the pine.
i lost all respect for Ronda after her loss to Holly Holm. not because she lost, but how she handled that loss. she went silent for months and then first interview she goess on Ellen saying she was sewer-side-el. if she lost, grabbed the mic and yelled im getting my belt back! id have still respected her. tho her winning all those fights by armbar, was pretty awesome, i mean everyone knew her game and that she was going for an armbar, and she STILL did it, thats pretty amazing in the fight game.
Her stint in WWE wasn't all that great. Yes she had great athleticism, but she couldn't sell and she had no mic skills. There have been MMA fighters who have joined the WWE and have done well.
@@oldeskulShe has no character or substance! Nobody was ever drawn to her mic skills, which always had perplexed. Why da foooooook would you enter a world where its all about ya mic skills and selling your character
A humble athlete is easy to be a fan of. For example… Serena Williams, by FAR the best female tennis player in her prime. Even she laughed at reporters when they asked her if she could beat Roger. She replied with something like “the 200th ranked man could beat me”
11:41 if you watch the show Darkside of the Ring. It’s about pro wrestling. While it is scripted, most people still wouldn’t want to get in the ring with those guys. There are some that actually took it to far and actually hurt the opponent and some have been killed, especially in the older days like the 70s 80s and into the 90s. Especially in the extreme wrestling circuit. They did a good job on that movie The Wrestler with Mickey Rourk. Just saying.
I personally never bought into Rousey's hype & disliked her even b4 she loss i remember in the lead up to her fight with Tate they were both coaches on TUF(the reality show for wanna be UFC fighters) & idk exactly what caused it but she was upset with 1 of Tate's assistant coaches a male & she confronted him but not in a adult lets talk it out way she came at him the way u come at some1 you wanna fight he acted respectful but she kept at trying to bully him & even threaten him that if it happened again he would have to deal with her. Which isn't fair to him because it's a lose lose situation if she goes at him & he fights back & whoops her ppl gonna say oh he hit a female plus at the time she was UFC's biggest fighter so he probably would've gotten fighter for beating up their cash cow. But if he decided not to fight back & got beat up ppl would make fun of him. In pretty much every fight she fought she wasn't humble or showed humility whether she won or loss she was a sore loser & sore winner she never touched gloves b4 or after the fight some times she would kick her opponent off after she tapped them out if they were on top of her legs. She takes most the blame for ppl turning on her & for her losses but some blame has to go to all the yes men around her. I remember mofos were hyping her up especially Dana & Joe Rogan Rogan was saying she was amazing at striking & could beat most dudes so of course it got to her head but the fact is she was trash with her striking. U could tell just by her training videos she didnt know how to throw good punches. So when I heard she was coming to wwe & even after she debuted I was vocal against her. Those that didn't know her defended her because wwe made her look like a million bucks but I knew that at the slightest sign of fans not being happy her true colors would come out & they did
personally I never complained about her using the arm bar to win like if this is what will make you win then do it but don't make stupid excuses to why you lost and she did that, her ego is her problem that's it to make it short and sweet
I bet Stevo secretly thinking wrestling might be fake but it hurts like hell, i remember stevo talking about how he got concussed by umaga lol wrestling is still a sport and can emd your career at any point by one mistake and some people cant grasp that
Of course pro wrestling is fake. So are Jackie Chan movies, so is Days Of Our Lives, and the circus, and the vast majority of other media. But no one tries to discredit the entire industry of film on that basis - that's what makes wrestling fans angry about the fake comments. These are hard-working people who are incredibly talented athletes working their butts off to entertain people, and the way they do it is heavily fraught with risk and injury but they still do it 300 days a year. Go tell Jackie Chan his entire career is meaningless garbage because he never REALLY arrested the leader of the Triad and watch him slap the taste out your mouth so hard it never comes back. By the way, I was a professional mixed martial artist for years. I trained with ATT in Coconut Creek. I also threw a BBQ for my friends and family to come enjoy Wrestlemania a couple weeks back.
She knows she wasn’t the better fighter, just don’t ask her to admit it. She knows it in the back of her mind. Isn’t that the same sentiment expressed of WWE fans? Why make her say it and not them? Also, I don’t get the before and after photos. Losing would look like that without the before, and all fighters show up with their ego and anger pre fight. If they didn’t, would you want to see the fight?
She was good and she literally laid the framework for womens MMA. Her and Connor were huge catalysts to the sport but her attitude is so atrocious she deserves all of this
It takes extreme body control, being fit, extensive training etc. for WWE. I went to HS with a woman who was in WWE and I believe is still a trainer with them. I was a fan of Rhonda bc I loved a girl who could kick butt. I don’t like people who cannot be humble or appreciate the work and effort of others. If Rhonda had to fight on the streets for her life, I don’t know? She needs to acknowledge her weaknesses because enemies certainly do.
I watched her mma career closely and her problem was her coach. The guy wasnt a good trainer and never gave her real training partners to push her. Was a glorified pad holder and yes man. Made her believe she could box when she couldn't and we see how it went. Ronda could have been the best female fighter had her career been handled differently. Girl just walked into the wrong gym with olympic level talent and an opportunist running it. Truth is she became a World champion and Mega star despite Edmund. That credit goes to her mother, olympic coaches and gene lebell. Everybody pre Edmund Tarverdyan.
When you’re so consumed by what you’re losing you’re not appreciative of what you had. She’s totally ruined her fanfuckingtastic fighting legacy by making sore loser her entire identity. She could’ve went out with grace, but she chose this instead 😒
There's a line between being confident and cocky, something she always seemed to have a hard time with. I wish the best for all these fighters and having a little fun with their sport makes for good entertainment, but she has to know when to reel it in, action, not words.
I guess she was trying to paint herself as the Muhammad Ali of women's MMA. Yes Ali did talk a lot of trash, but he could back it up. Ali lost quite a few fights in his career, but he never dwelt on them. That's why he's one of the greatest of all time.
@@oldeskul Yeah, I never could understand it, if you can talk the talk, you better walk the walk. Ali was slightly before my time, although I do remember a couple of his fights when he was past his prime in the late 70's, but he usually backed it up. Tyson, watching all the fighters that came and tried to taunt him, only to get KO'd, now that was funny. Rousey, I don't know, I wish her the best, but when she lost, she should have accepted the loss gracefully and perhaps she wouldn't be looked at the way she does now.
@@MacMc691 The difference between a good fighter and a great fighter is how they handle losses. A great fighter will use the losses as motivation to come back better, tougher, faster and stronger.
@@oldeskul Completely agree, might be an age thing, something I didn't have when I was younger, losing gracefully and always putting the blame on other aspects instead of realizing the issue lies within. That's what makes those young great fighters so good, they're dominant and can take a loss, adapt and hopefully better themselves.
@@MacMc691 People with poor sportsmanship have existed almost as long as competition has existed, social media is a recent phenomenon and can put people's bad behaviors on public display. People were just as shitty back in the day as they are today, and now bad actors whine when facing real reprisals for their bad behaviors.
I took judo as a teen and never made it past yellow belt. In my dojo was a girl that was a purple belt but she was the terror of all the female brown belts. She would often challenge me to rondori and I would always dominate her. Rhonda ain't beating NO capable man.
Yeah, honestly, she probably forgot that Triple H LET her lift him in that first match. (This is of course if she's said it since she started wrestling. Or finished it.) I think a capable woman can beat a man of similar capability... if she's at least one, maybe _two_ weight classes _above_ that man's weight. (I'm thinking MMA weight classes so 20 pounds.) And _I_ feel like I'm being generous so don't @ me, I know I'm probably being _silly_ for saying they have _that_ much of a chance.
When people are siding with Logan Paul over you, you are the problem. Not the management. Complaining about not being given 6 weeks to prepare for every single match, especially against full time active wrestlers and insinuating that Logan Paul gets that is stupid. The simple fact is that Logan Paul is a natural at wrestling and far better at it than she ever was. Also, the fact that he actually respects the industry helps.
Ronda was a trailblazer, and kicked a lot of ass... but people caught up to her and rather than improving, she left. She then absolutely had no respect for the art and sport of wrestling and said "None of these women can beat me" when I legitimately think that every other woman in WWE and AEW with real MMA experience, and there are a few, could and would beat her. Even Sonya Deville, who didn't have a long MMA career before joining WWE. Also add any woman who had amateur wrestling experience. Or was more than ten pounds heavier than her. And add Bayley just because I think Bay is strong enough to throw her around.
We need to help her, except for Being an Olympic level Female athlete. She got used to a regimen of people who handled all her affairs. Rhonda eats, sleeps, and trains at the same time. Every day after day. Now, no armature athlete. Now, she is a pro. Starting where you belong on the Roster. Trying to bogart & throw your me attitude of someone owes you something.
Its simple , another fight between rhonda and holly, also amanda. Rhonda signs a contract upfront stating her health is with no issues. The fans would love it as both make big $.
She was the biggest fish in a tiny pond , they were literrary trying to find her opponents. She crumbled when she faced a decent fighter. Comparing herself to men champions with their insane level of competitors is ludicrus
The one thing you shouldn't say when joining the wrestling business is "it's fake", people get injured all the time so of them died in the ring sure the storylines are scripted and they try not to hurt each other but you need to be good in the ring, convincing on the mike, develope your character and tell a convincing story to the audience which ronda wasn't good in any of these, her name was the only thing that got her to sign with WWE so to say the wrestling business is fake is like shitting on everyone that put effort to get good and fill out 100k stadiums, there were multiple MMA guys that respected the wrestling business guys like ken shamrock, DC and brock lesnar
I was never a fan of her even back then. I remember how big of a deal it was when Holly decapitated her with a head kick. The memes from that fight were hilariously brutal.
pro wrestling is not "fake" its scripted which is a big difference. Fake intales that it doesnt bare a risk or it doesnt hurt...it does...verx much at times and the risk for injuries is higher than some "real" combat sports To say its scripted or predetermined is correct cause the outcome is fixxed(most of the times...sometimes it needs to be improvised) So yes its scripted(ecery wrestlingfan over the age of maybe 5-10 knows that) but fake it is certainly not Thatnks for coming to my TED-Talk
WWE or UFC. She was the golden girl it seemed. Didn't watch UFC, but all I ever heard was Rousey is the queen of UFC. She left and defended UFC, but now she is knocking WWE and people hate her now.
It's wild that people hate on Her for being arrogant But they love guys like Floyd Mayweather And mike tyson...😂 Mohammad ali was the most arrogant fighter that ever lived 😂
Rhonda was great in judo but could not box or kick. Her bell got rung by Holly's kick and could not recover. Either she had a poor trainer or she was to cocky and became delusional.
She seemed to underestimate Holly. The loss broke her. She quit after back to back losses. Shayna talked her into joining the WWE and could have been great, but she let something get in the way, I don't think it was just ego.
Yeah, lost respect for RR when she lost to Holly Holm who was a true sportswoman. RR is deeply flawed and doesn’t seem to have a sold core of personal character.
You have to except defeat to grow. If a person as great as Michael Jordan as example could do it she needed to. I am a fan but she held herself back thinking you cant always improve. Everyday you can improve as a human ebing period always room to grow but she convinced herself and had a bad trainer to believe she was set. She could of been more she should of just adapted instead of lie to herself.
she wasn't likeable and didn't back up her talk. If a popular WWE star was talking trash, people might pay more attention. But, she does seem to have a problem, ego or legit, that is the question.
I'll tell you what this video sounds like sour grapes😂 jealousy runs deep. I don't think there's anything wrong with her I don't think she's any more arrogant than any other fighter
As someone who fought competitively from age 11-21, a lot of your training is also in knowing there will be someone better than you and becoming tough enough to endure the beating. Yes quick knock outs happen. Yes some people are objectively more skilled than others. But no one will ever be the greatest of all time, and everyone will lose someday. Also, I've always thought she was mediocre and cocky. I'm surprised she is still talked about at all.
Here's the deal, and anyone denying this, is a lame person. In the MMA, WWE or Boxing, every single fighter plays the tough role, every fighter is a smack talker over their opponent. In all 3 arenas they stage arguments and smack talk, why? For the hype, is why. It makes good TV! Rhonda's fans tuned on her because her beauty, and lets face it, fans got nothing to do but talk smack themselves. After all, we're seeing cancel culture as I type this. Is Rhonda a one trick pony with the arm bar? I thought she was, but the fact is she won her fights, and if that was the way it was done, then so be it. Wouldn't it be the opponents fault if they knew she was an expert at arm bar, and still lost the fight because they failed to defend that? In that respect Rhonda is a genius for still being able to beat her opponent even though her opponent was aware of her dangerous arm bar. Anyway, this is just my two cents opinion ;)
My late grandma could sweep the floor with her, she had 13 kids. And she passed away on October 31st 1970. She could still clean her clock even today. I've seen her taking out her oldest son, he was in his 40's and was in the navy for 20 plus year's during the entire WWII and then in the mechanic Marines until he died while at Sea in 1983. So tes Mammaw could take her out any day of the week.

Gina was great and I think she would have beaten Rhonda which is why Rhonda ducked the fight for years.

@@oldeskul Completely agree, might be an age thing, something I didn't have when I was younger, losing gracefully and always putting the blame on other aspects instead of realizing the issue lies within. That's what makes those young great fighters so good, they're dominant and can take a loss, adapt and hopefully better themselves.
@@MacMc691 People with poor sportsmanship have existed almost as long as competition has existed, social media is a recent phenomenon and can put people's bad behaviors on public display. People were just as shitty back in the day as they are today, and now bad actors whine when facing real reprisals for their bad behaviors.
God has all the strength watch not being HUMBLE. TRUE
I took judo as a teen and never made it past yellow belt. In my dojo was a girl that was a purple belt but she was the terror of all the female brown belts. She would often challenge me to rondori and I would always dominate her. Rhonda ain't beating NO capable man.
Yeah, honestly, she probably forgot that Triple H LET her lift him in that first match. (This is of course if she's said it since she started wrestling. Or finished it.) I think a capable woman can beat a man of similar capability... if she's at least one, maybe _two_ weight classes _above_ that man's weight. (I'm thinking MMA weight classes so 20 pounds.) And _I_ feel like I'm being generous so don't @ me, I know I'm probably being _silly_ for saying they have _that_ much of a chance.
When people are siding with Logan Paul over you, you are the problem. Not the management. Complaining about not being given 6 weeks to prepare for every single match, especially against full time active wrestlers and insinuating that Logan Paul gets that is stupid. The simple fact is that Logan Paul is a natural at wrestling and far better at it than she ever was. Also, the fact that he actually respects the industry helps.
Amanda Nunez bopped her up pretty good. She's the goat not Rhonda.
Ronda was a trailblazer, and kicked a lot of ass... but people caught up to her and rather than improving, she left. She then absolutely had no respect for the art and sport of wrestling and said "None of these women can beat me" when I legitimately think that every other woman in WWE and AEW with real MMA experience, and there are a few, could and would beat her. Even Sonya Deville, who didn't have a long MMA career before joining WWE. Also add any woman who had amateur wrestling experience. Or was more than ten pounds heavier than her. And add Bayley just because I think Bay is strong enough to throw her around.
Maybe it's just the old school in me but to this day, it makes squirm to watch women fight. It's not natural and I don't care who says otherwise.
We need to help her, except for Being an Olympic level Female athlete. She got used to a regimen of people who handled all her affairs. Rhonda eats, sleeps, and trains at the same time. Every day after day. Now, no armature athlete. Now, she is a pro. Starting where you belong on the Roster. Trying to bogart & throw your me attitude of someone owes you something.
There were champs who were not well-rounded MMA fighters.
Its simple , another fight between rhonda and holly, also amanda. Rhonda signs a contract upfront stating her health is with no issues. The fans would love it as both make big $.
The shameless raid shadow legends ads 😂
It wasn't an ad lol, she has a character in the game
maybe her Dog stepped on a Bee ...
She was the biggest fish in a tiny pond , they were literrary trying to find her opponents. She crumbled when she faced a decent fighter. Comparing herself to men champions with their insane level of competitors is ludicrus
The one thing you shouldn't say when joining the wrestling business is "it's fake", people get injured all the time so of them died in the ring sure the storylines are scripted and they try not to hurt each other but you need to be good in the ring, convincing on the mike, develope your character and tell a convincing story to the audience which ronda wasn't good in any of these, her name was the only thing that got her to sign with WWE so to say the wrestling business is fake is like shitting on everyone that put effort to get good and fill out 100k stadiums, there were multiple MMA guys that respected the wrestling business guys like ken shamrock, DC and brock lesnar
Only she could get head kicked into the next decade and somehow still not have lost.
I was never a fan of her even back then. I remember how big of a deal it was when Holly decapitated her with a head kick. The memes from that fight were hilariously brutal.
@jasonbourne8245 wow I completely missed that part. Was it confirmed? Even so, steroids don't magically give you more combat skills lol
@jasonbourne8245 I don't disagree
I would like to see her in evolved fights
pro wrestling is not "fake" its scripted which is a big difference.
Fake intales that it doesnt bare a risk or it doesnt hurt...it does...verx much at times and the risk for injuries is higher than some "real" combat sports
To say its scripted or predetermined is correct cause the outcome is fixxed(most of the times...sometimes it needs to be improvised)
So yes its scripted(ecery wrestlingfan over the age of maybe 5-10 knows that) but fake it is certainly not
Thatnks for coming to my TED-Talk
Too bad. I always thought she was nice to look at
She was unbearable the entire time, many of us said this.
WWE or UFC. She was the golden girl it seemed. Didn't watch UFC, but all I ever heard was Rousey is the queen of UFC. She left and defended UFC, but now she is knocking WWE and people hate her now.
Wow 😳🤔😲
It's wild that people hate on Her for being arrogant But they love guys like Floyd Mayweather And mike tyson...😂 Mohammad ali was the most arrogant fighter that ever lived 😂
Who did Floyd lose to?? Mike Tyson admitted to losing and became humble.. are you slow?
Rhonda was great in judo but could not box or kick. Her bell got rung by Holly's kick and could not recover. Either she had a poor trainer or she was to cocky and became delusional.
She seemed to underestimate Holly. The loss broke her. She quit after back to back losses. Shayna talked her into joining the WWE and could have been great, but she let something get in the way, I don't think it was just ego.
Yeah, lost respect for RR when she lost to Holly Holm who was a true sportswoman. RR is deeply flawed and doesn’t seem to have a sold core of personal character.
😂 random neck beard vs Ronda for a title. My money on neck beard
I was so very happy when Amanda Nunes gave her that act right she so well deserved.
You have to except defeat to grow. If a person as great as Michael Jordan as example could do it she needed to. I am a fan but she held herself back thinking you cant always improve. Everyday you can improve as a human ebing period always room to grow but she convinced herself and had a bad trainer to believe she was set. She could of been more she should of just adapted instead of lie to herself.
she fucked up when she started tlkn about the wwe, she should've known ppl was coming for her after that
she wasn't likeable and didn't back up her talk. If a popular WWE star was talking trash, people might pay more attention. But, she does seem to have a problem, ego or legit, that is the question.
No she was definitely overrated I always felt it from her strikeforce days
Everyone is the baddest on the planet until they get punched in the face. If she was a little humble she would have loyal fans
I'll tell you what this video sounds like sour grapes😂 jealousy runs deep. I don't think there's anything wrong with her I don't think she's any more arrogant than any other fighter
As someone who fought competitively from age 11-21, a lot of your training is also in knowing there will be someone better than you and becoming tough enough to endure the beating. Yes quick knock outs happen. Yes some people are objectively more skilled than others. But no one will ever be the greatest of all time, and everyone will lose someday. Also, I've always thought she was mediocre and cocky. I'm surprised she is still talked about at all.
She want a good fighter she was all hype that Diana White fed seriously flawed fighters
Here's the deal, and anyone denying this, is a lame person. In the MMA, WWE or Boxing, every single fighter plays the tough role, every fighter is a smack talker over their opponent. In all 3 arenas they stage arguments and smack talk, why? For the hype, is why. It makes good TV! Rhonda's fans tuned on her because her beauty, and lets face it, fans got nothing to do but talk smack themselves. After all, we're seeing cancel culture as I type this. Is Rhonda a one trick pony with the arm bar? I thought she was, but the fact is she won her fights, and if that was the way it was done, then so be it. Wouldn't it be the opponents fault if they knew she was an expert at arm bar, and still lost the fight because they failed to defend that? In that respect Rhonda is a genius for still being able to beat her opponent even though her opponent was aware of her dangerous arm bar. Anyway, this is just my two cents opinion ;)
My late grandma could sweep the floor with her, she had 13 kids. And she passed away on October 31st 1970. She could still clean her clock even today. I've seen her taking out her oldest son, he was in his 40's and was in the navy for 20 plus year's during the entire WWII and then in the mechanic Marines until he died while at Sea in 1983. So tes Mammaw could take her out any day of the week.
🙄
She's no better at actting.
She was greatly overrated
