    • @richardleonhard3971
      @richardleonhard3971 8 лет назад

      I think she didn't deserve the shot because she didn't beat anybody in the top 5. But that doesn't mean that she wasn't gonna beat Rousey. (Although I didn't expect it)

    • @I-P-777
      @I-P-777 8 лет назад

      +Hans E Like itor not u are just another brainwashed media puppet. u say that u dislike Ronda for some reason. u should know that media sometimes portray people In a negative way for something good to come out of it.. Ronda and Conor is a prefect example of it. A LOT of their build up and the way the "fans" look at them has to do with the media. For ex, Conor would Never get so big so fast without the media building him up and portray him like that.. U people arte soo damn simple nowadays talking like u really know these people and how they really are.. u guys are nothing but a brainwashed media puppet .

    • @richardleonhard3971
      @richardleonhard3971 8 лет назад

      Loveoldies7 So you think there is no reason anyone could dislike Ronda without being a "media puppet"? Anything she did was just the media? Naah, my friend. Sure, she was portrait as the villain on TUF but that doesn't mean she gets a free pass on anything she did.

    I really admire how humble and kind Jackson and Winkeljohn are. It made me laugh when they showed the wall with magazine covers and said "a few of our fighters have done some cool things," but it's a nice reflection of how they both never have this super egotistical mindset. The whole atmosphere seems so welcome and kind.

    Curious as to why they have accessible dorms? I'd assume, as a disabled person myself, that there aren't many fighters who need those amenities. Is that an ADA requirement?

    • @cleedow
      @cleedow 8 лет назад +2

      +WalkerOnWheels I know Wink does private lessons with a couple of physically disabled people. Maybe he's just hedging his bets/preping for a time if/when he brings in a coach that needs an accessible dorm. It is an interesting question though.

      +cleedow It's definitely forward thinking, perhaps. I know there have been disabled fighters like Nick Newell, but I can't imagine a situation where the considerable financial investment it takes to handicap a room will end up being a return on investment.
