what happened to ronda rousey?
" Apparently, [Removed by Support] it's just an expression. Not meant to be taken as a 100% literal fact. Her competition was so bad they should have rather had kids and become soccer moms instead of MMA fighters. Nowadays it's a whole new ball game with serious well rounded female fighters and she can't hang with even top 5 with her limited skill set. And guess what - she's off to become a soccer mom herself with Travis's babies.   Git R Dun! Last edited by Kieran_GGG#0000 on Sep 25, 2017, 4:25:09 PM

" yea, it's a real shame. having already competed at an olympic level in judo, she's definitely got the foundation of athleticism there. if only she had like half the striking skills as her judo, she'd be a beast, i bet. im still dumbfounded why her coaches seemed not to have taught her better striking....even after her loss to holm....
Spoiler
yep....heard she was real messed up from that one. smth like a lot of her teeth were knocked loose and her jaw was broken, too...i can totally understand the depression she had after taking a hit that messed her up that much.
Spoiler
damn! that's an unflattering shot of rousey! nunes must be really proud of that one! hopefully, rousey wasn't as badly injured after that fight as after the loss to holm... |

to be fair, the big problem with ROnda is her coach.
The guy is a crook, a shit boxer , a charlatan. He successfully made her believe he is good and know shit about training but in fact he is just a good motivator. He made her think she can box and could beat pro male boxers lol. Imo she could still be relevant if she changed coach. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SShiA0CD5s Kenny Florian exposes Edmond Tarverdyan, Ronda Rousey needs new coach Poe Pvp experience

" yea, it really seems that her coach is the big problem. i hope she ditches him and gets a good coach. she just has so much raw talent and athleticism. would be such a loss to the mma community for her not to bring out her actual potential.... |

Ronda's coach, Edmond Tarverdyan, is atrociously bad. He's basically a con artist. Of course, it's Ronda's fault for getting herself involved with him.
Ronda could have progressed and stayed competitive with a real coach. With Tarverdyan, though... (shakes head) Her stance and striking movements before the Holmes match looked worse than someone after one month of boxing practice. And that guy keeps telling her she has elite striking. I guess he's at least good at conning gullible people... You have to be realistic about these things.

It's any coach or trainer's responsibility to tell someone they're shit when they're actually shit. Being told you're not shit has to be earned. But she isn't completely useless, and could be 'stay at home mom' material.

Basically? No he's a real con artist. Been indicted for identity theft credit card fraud and what not. Somehow he latched onto Ronda and hit big time. Sucked Travis in to and lost every fight since. lol
It's important to have good friends and mentors not losers is what I took away from the Ronda saga Git R Dun! Last edited by Aim_Deep#3474 on Sep 26, 2017, 11:27:45 PM

" Pretty much, she was in over her head. She has a good armbar and that's pretty much it. Her striking skills are pretty lackluster when compared to others in the women's divisions also. The women's divisions are looking pretty good now though. It just took a while for real talents to show up. Did you happen to see the Cláudia Gadelha vs. Jéssica Andrade fight from UFC Fight Night 117? Holy shit was that good or what? Just a lowly standard player. May RNGesus be with you.

yea, honestly, i just don't understand how she got sucked into his gym or why she chose to stick with him...
even shayna baszler. i was sort of a fan of hers since i heard she was being coached by josh barnett (im a barnett fanboy lol), but then i heard edmond ruined her career, too--smh. ppl saying she been 0-3 since moving to edmond's gym....so sad, man....

" oh damn, i haven't been keeping up with mma for awhile, tbh. man, when ronda lost twice after all the hype, i was really bummed out by mma. i gotta go have a look at ufc 117 then |
