Read this article about Ronda Rousey. It is well written and straight the point.

http://www.espn.com/espnw/sports/article/18379890/in-quest-revenge-pride-ronda-rousey-lost-own-way

It appears that it was Ronda who approached Dana White years ago and said that the UFC should make a women's division and that she herself could be the one to lead the way to make it happen. She is practically one of the people responsible of the creation of the UFC as it is today. Without her it would be different.

Well it was quite obvious that UFC management wanted to get paid before the end of the year even at the health risk of getting this one particular fighter killed in the ring at the hands of the champion after a year out of the spotlight and the ring. So you be the judge on that one but all the signs are there.
One last cash-in for UFC at the expense of Ronda's health physically and mentally.
They definitely got paid more than her or they would not be in this kind of side show business in the first place.

There was no pressure from the UFC to Ronda Rousey to return on that fight card and Ronda came back to fight for the title on her terms and so is the reason she took an year off and came back to fight Nunes but now we know that it was a bad decision from her part to return to fight because she is really not the person she once was.Her confidence is shattered and her coaching sucks .
For being out for over a year she shouldnt even have got the title fight. If you stay out and that too you went out losing, one shouldnt get a title fight. She didnt even deserve it. For the guy saying that UFC forced her to come and fight against Nunes, You are either deluded or just a butt hurt Rousey's fan. As per what she said, She had been training for the return and she planned her return perfectly. I do agree that UFC have made a lot of money by making Ronda a star but when u actually see her fight you can sort of understand that she's a one trick pony. A really good one trick pony. She was never a boxer or even came close to it and her strategy failed miserably on trying to box with Nunes in the begining. Dont know what she was thinking. It ended how it was meant to be. Now mostly good MMA artists r in UFC and very fre one trick ponies.

Being a fan, it's a lot harder to see this than the holmes fight. Seems like she doesn't have that same fire and confidence she usually had during her streak. And she's pretty stiff there that nunes didn't look like she had a hard time hitting her. This is a very big set back and sad to say i think it would be a lot better if rhonda's going to hang up her gloves already. She had a very good run during her career but these consecutive losses are crushing to say the least. I this would have more effect on her confidence and mental toughness if ever she's going to fight again. Damn i was looking forward to that fight with cyborg. Oh well..

Of course, rousey still surely doesn't have that self esteem because she just recently lose and then UFC gave her another title shot without even thinking that surely rousey isn't ready tho we all know why she accepted it(obviously paid a huge amount than the champ)

I was so shocked about how poor Rousey was, she really was destroyed. Is she finished as a true champion?

I do not believe so. She can still improve by joining another team. Team Alpha Male would be a very good fit for her, and I am sure they would love to have her in their team. Her present coach is feeding her all the wrong ideas. Nunes herself said this in the post fight interview.
She had to change her coaching team if she wanted to continue fighting as they were treating her as an invincible striker and if you could watch her corners in both the fights their fight inputs were really wrong and that is what messing her up and i really do not think she will come back from this loss,she will be having a kid soon and will be concentrating only in movies rather than getting punched.

1. Rousey is a judo practicioner and good with submission, while Nunes is good with her stand up game.
2. Afrer Rouseys defeat with Holly, Rouseys weaknes was exposed, Rouseys camp should have thought of how to avoid slugging it out with Nunes.
3. Im not sure how good Nunes is with her ground game but you can see how she tried to avoid getting close to Rousey and being taken down.

Rousey is still a force to reckon but she needs to change coach and fighting style.

If you watch all the fights Rousey has being she used to get hit all of the time but she stood with judo and took her opponents down and defeated them with her patented arm bar. The two defeats Rousey had were against strikers ,Holly Homes a world champion boxer and Nunes an amateur boxer, and remember that Nunes is a black belt in BJJ so her ground game is top class and so i was expecting to see the ground game between the two but was disappointed because of the early finish  Cheesy.

The moment that Rousey got knocked in the face  Lips sealed





Just a big disappointment of a career ending fight. Undecided



Oh my god. That second picture her face is fucked up in. She got real messed up, and I cant evcer see her stepping back into the octagon, UNLESS. She becomes famous for getting in the ring and getting the shit kicked out of her. Maybe she can make it her thing and continue to be used as a punching bag for a few lousy dollars. Cheesy

Watch the post fight conference.  I think Dominick Cruz is still the boss even after his recent loss against Cody Garbradnt.  He took the loss well and I'm excited on what his next move will be.  But I hope TJ Dillashaw will get a title shot first though.  That will be an exciting bout as well. 
It was a really good fight and i really liked how Cody Garbradnt fought the ever elusive Dominick Cruz and in my opinion Dominick Cruz is the best counter strikers in the world and he used to win all the matches with his movement and counter striking but Cody took him out in this match with his own counter strikes and knocked him a couple of times but Dominick showed his class and made him fight the entire time. TJ Dillashaw will be getting the next title shot as they have an history which is to be settled and its a good story to sell  Grin.

I feel that what you say about Cruz isn't true anymore.  Garbrandt just showed that Cruz isn't really that good vs a fighter with good basic boxing.  Everyone hyped what Cruz was capable of doing and the media gave him an aura of indecipherability, when the solution to the 'puzzle' was to go back to the basics.  And of course the threat of a KO helped Garbrandt too.  There was nothing spectacular in the way he fights.  He had power, good head movement and used smart boxing.

Rousey must retire now. She did a.lot of accomplishments and i think thats enough for her. Shes a legend already. No need to prove anything. Nunez is too much for her. Rousey doesnt even land any solid punches. No head movement just absorbing Nunez's punches that why its a early stoppage.

I agree with you but Connor is a different breed of person. This area is where he will shine. Just look at his personality compared to Rousey.

Yes Connor Mcgregor is really a different breed when you compare with Ronda Rousey as when Connor lost against Nate Diaz he wanted to get back into the ring as soon as possible and face Nate Diaz and avenge the loss but that was not the case with Ronda she was hiding for a whole year and was hiding all these while and was not willing to face the cameras

Yeah, when McGregor lose against Diaz, he accept his lose and not being cocky with him again. In the other hand when Rousey lose, she never expost herself on media and trying and practice so hard to comeback, but the result is like this. For me McGregor is the true champion here.

Ronda Rousey was really not focused on returning after her defeat as she is really hurt mentally and physically by the defeat she faced against Holly Holmes and if she really wanted to fight she would not take a long break like this and keep on hiding all this while and even during the fight week she was not willing to face the camera's which says it all, i think she will retire after this defeat.
if you look at her fights as a champion she was winning every matches quite easily as she is a great athlete when she takes the opponent to the ground and she was a great champion without any doubt but once she is billed as the baddest women in the planet and the hype started the pressure crushed her and only Connor is surviving the hype train as he knows how to handle the situation.

Since everyone is wondering what really happened to the great champion Ronda Rousey these are my analysis when you look at her career,She was a good champion and she took the women's MMA to the forefront and if you analyze all her performance in the UFC she was domination in the clinch and she was very much good on the ground and to the surprise she was the only dominating champion who has a judo background ,it is because their clinch and the hip toss are the basics and she was concentrating on that in all of her fights and was winning fights easily even if she takes some blows but then the hype caught up with her when everyone started describing her as a knockout artist which is really not the fact and she wanted to box everyone rather than fight her basics and that is how Rousey got schooled by Holly Holmes and now my Nunes.
