Y'all remember Ronda Rousey

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

To be fair she put women's mma on the map from a marketability standpoint. Being the first awarded her all of the perks of being a "pioneer".

But she never faced a formidable opponent until Holm. She was also sheltered from the best possible fighters.

Oh word? How much they make?

Ron Derousey is still the GOAT coli created name.

 

[GzUp]

@GoddamnyamanProf would always defend her.

He would say she could beat up Floyd in a fight... where u at?

 

[BlackBall]

Irrelevant just like women's sports in general

[VladTheImpaler]

truly shocking how bad she looks, her form is so terrible, she's the greatest female sports hoax of all time.

 

[Carolina Slim]

Jeremy Lin had a quicker fall from grace.

He didn't take NEARLY as any Ls though.

And he didn't buy into his own hype nearly as much as Ronda did. Ronda started feeling herself way too much, which made the humble that much more bitter when it was served.

They tried to give her that crown but Ronda wasn't the first of shyt, Gina Carano was the first real crossover MMA chick that broke into the mainstream with movies and such. The media just didn't put all the phony extras and marketing behind her that Ronda got. She was finer than Ronda too.

That lip bite always gets me

Remember this ducktale?

Ronda Rousey used to street-fight men in high school so she could buy Starbucks

Nobody gives a fukk

Exactly. I been said this.

Did anyone in the history of sports have a quicker falloff from grace and receive more L's in such a short amount of time?? It literally felt like this:

Monday- Rhonda got next
Tuesday- She the best there is in female MMA
Wednesday- Oh shyt she got knocked the fukk out. It was one time tho, she got cocky and lax. She'll be back even stronger
Thursday- Oh snap she done got knocked the fukk out again?!?! shyts over
Friday- Floyd parties the weekend away

Chris Weidman

dude beat silva and two more Brazilians in their twilight years and then lost three straight, exposing his sorry ass

buddy even had his dad cop pleas with the fans in the post-fight interview after his 1st loss

Right. And if she "put it on the map", why havent they been able to sustain any resemblance of marketability since? Its faded back into its appropriate obscurity. Why havent sponsors or UFC themselves promoted other women in the sport like they did Ron? Cause the shyt was fugazi. She was feminism at corporate level backed and it was a setup. She fought nobodies 5mo removed from working at dikk's Sporting Good stores and a couple legit fighters who she outsized dramatically.

This chick is actually funnier than some of these other overweight white comedians that have that Hollywood push/machine behind them
