    Sad to say, but she looks to be done. Knocked out again in the first round. But she did her part paving the way for women fighting, and got paid well in the process.

    She can still be a star in the entertainment field. I feel bad for her because you can tell she is a fighter first. She needs to be on suicide watch.

    We won't see Ronda anywhere for a LONG time.

    I'm never gonna call you fatty again, William B. Goodrich.



    Did you watch it live? Is her defense still suspect? She reminds me of Tyson before he came back to Earth. He never learned to box, just fight. Same with her.

    Everything was suspect. It's like all she did was lose weight. She didn't look like she learned from her last defeat at all.

    Her cocky ass deserves it. So much for taking "any man" lmfao. Most trained men fighters could take her no problem

    Exactly what I thought.
    He defense was non existence and her punches seemed soft
    She looked awkward

    Ronda Rousey learned one important thing from her first defeat: That she didn't want to get hit again.

    That lesson killed her chances to be successful. In her sport, you can't win without courage.

    She came in for one final paycheck. She can go do B movies now with Van Damme and Scott Adkins

    Young Tyson was an amazing study of boxing. He is an encyclopedia of boxing knowledge and practice. Thousands of hours studying the greats and you can see that technique in his early days certainly.

    She tried to block all the punches with her face... It was a bold strategy Cotton but it didn't pay off.


    But in all seriousness I think she took advantage of a weak division and a growing sport when she was climbing the ranks but eventually everyone in MMA gets exposed. She is a damn good fighter and her career should not be dismissed but I don't see a recovery from this.

    She has a weak chin and took a few of fights to figure that out. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to make your chin stronger nor should you try. The brain is precious.

    Roy Jones Jr had a weak chin. Fortunately for him, he was probably the most skilled boxer of the modern error so no one ever got to see it until he got old.

    This is completely wrong. Tyson was a complete boxer, not just a puncher. Very skilled. Look at the head movement and how he set up his offense. Ronda's boxing is so sloppy, leaves herself wide open all the time. What's strange is that she didn't go with her strengths, which got her there in the first place.

    Awkward is a great way to describe it. It looked like she had never stepped in a ring before and wanted no part of being there. Very strange. Holly really did her head in.

    Also WTF with the Tyson comments? Terrible comparison. Tyson was fantastic.
