UFC Rhonda Rousey Loses First Fight By Knockout

Would that "pressure" have been a distraction as much as a stressor. I think some got it right saying she was already thinking too far beyond the fight like here endorsements, movies etc. But that goes back to her team keeping her focused, I can't believe some tactical or physical sluggishness wouldn't be noticed in training.

She DID / does have a lot on her plate, and yes, unless she's a Zen master I would think it would be on her mind. I know it would be on mine.

She's also got the whole "first undefeated female in MMA" thing to live up to. That's got to be hard. She's a role model now.

I forgot how long she had to prepare for the fight, but surely her trainers should have seen something brewing ...

I think her training camp turned into an entourage and was enjoying the ride as much as she was.
 
I don't know crap about this stuff but I understand that MacGregor guy lost too. I read his profile in one of the men's mags. Apparently he went against somebody a higher weight and failed. Now whoever manages UFC is watching money fly out the door.

Katie Holm who defeated Rousey loses in her first title defense in the last minutes of the last round. What does that say about Rousey or Holm.

Is this WWE stuff setting up a future fight. Holm is nice classy girl, I think this Tate is a little more mouthy and would be a better rematch for Rousey.

I think her first name is "Holly" and it's the UFC, not the WWE. But I agree - she's a class act and isn't on a suicide watch ... :rolleyes:

My bad, eeek. I think I got her mixed up with an actress.

I know it's the UFC I just hope it's not a ploy. The outcome and scenario is too WWEish.
 
Great memories, my oldest boy was in high school so if he was watching WWF, the younger ones did too. Every week I'd sit with them all and braid the girls hair while they cheered.
 
My middle brother and me (I?) used to have a whole party every weekend watching wrestling - would end up drunk and doing body slams on each other LOL!
 
My girls didn't get drunk...yet...but they learned all the moves. Somehow the youngest boy survived...if they weren't dolling him up like a Spice Girl, they were practicing the Stone Cold Stunner.
