I'll be surprised, if Ronda's face in this shot doesn't turn into a meme.

Just read a bit about her. Basically everyone with knowledge in martial arts claims that she's winning all her fights solely because of her expertise in Judo and that she's a terrible boxer. Which seems reasonable after seeing how she wins most of her fights.

[Leshma]

She's not a boxer. Ronda Rousey prior to this entertainment career (next stop is WWE if I'm not mistaken) was olympic medalist in judo. I'm not even entirely sure is this her real persona or an act. Seems that many people prefer her "mean bitch who breaks arms" attitude. That tells a lot about people who follow this crap.

Only reason why I and most other people ever heard of her is her unbeaten record, which has come to an end.

And she's quite hot for a female fighter and a cocky bitch, which is great for the media.

"Unbeaten record" is far from impressive in the weight class she's fighting in...

[Xant]

Holy shit. The hype is/was retarded. Train full time and still have horrible striking (how is it even possible to be so bad at something when you train every day?) and fight against women in a joke of a weight class (and it's a women's sport where the level is by default ten times worse than men's) who have to work full time/part time in addition to training, women who aren't even athletic enough to jump in the air (one of her famous opponents, Tate maybe?)... and that makes you an unbeatable female Terminator, apparently.

What I wonder is how has she lasted so long with her strongly grappling focused fight style? Was there not one woman who could fight at range like Holm did? I mean she was absolutely outclassed in the fight vs Holm, which makes sense since keeping at range is all you have to do vs a grappling style.

The fighter pool is pretty small in women's mma and that's why most fighters there are shit. At least compared to the men's lower weight classes which are fueled by the inferiour complex of manlets that need martial arts for boosting their egos during puberty and thus have a huge fighter pool.

It's also harder for women to knock each other out because of lower upper body strength vs. evolutionary adaption to domestic violence.

Pretty much what Paul said, it's harder for women to do damage with strikes, and the women she fought weren't all that good.

Even the Holm vs Rousey fight, they both had footwork like they were heavyweight men, very shitty for how light they are.

[Sir_Hans]

I will say this:

I did like seeing rousey shoot down all the feminist questions... especially the one about superheroes... hit the nail on the head with that one.

How much did they pay Arny and Stallone for that?

Strong woman who can beat any man..

Except she cries when even thinking about the loss to another woman, thought about killing herself, etc. I do kind of feel for her, and wish her the best, but she bought into her own feminist hype that was nothing but a fantasy. It's funny that feminists chose her as their idol and heroine, and she turns out to be a typical woman (which isn't anything away from her, she IS a woman, it just shows that the feminist fantasy of a woman warrior is a myth.)

[Molly]

To be fair, there is a different interview out there where she says "This is a business and I do everything to deliver my part. It's a huge show and everyone in UFC is doing their part. I am the best paid female fighter for a reason."

It kinda is a bit like WWE and the likes in that regard. They're actors to some degree...
