The most cringe worthy part of all this, is that this is exactly what critics said would happen once she fought a person worth a damn. It didn't even look like she was a professional fighter in the ring when she got Holm'd.

Ali beat a lot of first rate talent. I deny the comparison.

jaw injuries are probably the worst

trigeminal migraines, muscle seizing, lockjaw, limited opening, unbelievable tightness, so on

i guess her joints were her downfall, she said so a bunch of times

criticizing fighters for having big egos is fucking ridiculous.
what do you guys think about muhammad ali ? or was it ok because he was a man ?

As people pointed out, Ali got plenty of shit. MMA-wise, Anderson Silva got plenty of shit for his disrespectful antics in the ring and tons of ridicule for his loss against Weidman while clowning around.

Kanye West seemingly fully recovered from his jaw fracture 12 years ago. For a while he was talking through the wiiiiiiiiiire

Kanye doesn't take punches to the face for a living. Her jaw will be prone to breaking in the future. I think it's similar to how you see this with fighters having trouble with one eye always getting easily injured, or breaking the same hand over and over.
 
Didn't she admit in her autobiography to beating up her ex bf multiple times? I'm not shedding any tears for her she should be In prison the fucking lunatic.

If love her to fade back into obscurity she doesn't deserve fame or attention after being the asshole she is.

Holly should get to fight again before the Ronda rematch. It's not fair to make Holly sit for 6 months when she could wreck someone else in the mean time.

I guess I missed something. I thought before the Holmes fight, Rousey was everyone's hero? Was that just the media?
 
I'd like to root for her but all I see still are magazine covers and whatnot.

I can't see the rematch outcome being much different but at least she knows she has to wrestle this girl instead of fight her.

Big mouths take big risks for big rewards.

Ali talked mess because he was the best and backed it up. Mayweather is the same way. It has little to do with her gender.

Noone in their prime doesn't get brutalised like that, she's reached her peak, but now she's done.

Cry moar Joe


Ali talked shit then buried bodies, and these are some of the best fighters in the game. And he didn't stop there, he was part of a movement, its embarrassing youd compare him to Rousey, who isn't even the best in the game.

Y'all know Ali lost more fights than Ronda has, right? When he was talking all that shit about Foreman he had lost a couple.

I think for main stream fans that basically just tuned in for the odd big fight she was a hero. The people that are really into the sport not so much. I was not impressed with her and took a lot of heat for it. After she knocked Correia, I had to eat crow, I still didn't think she was as good as the hype but she was destroying everyone and you couldn't argue with her record. In the Holm fight I was super nervous but fucking elated to watch her get knocked the fuck out. She was like watching Silva, he often looked beatable but for the longest time he could not be beat, then it all ended.

She's probably going to wait until Holm's first title defense to see whether she can snag the title back from someone else. If a grappler were to beat Holm, that'd be kinda ideal for her.

Ali was a fighter, sure he lost but he went to war and he got hit and could take punishment. The two are in no way comparable. Its not like Ali went 10-0 and never had his chin tested. Ali had his jaw broken and kept fighting, he was a warrior.

Over under on what happens first? Ronda eating an apple, or us laughing about it?

I really, really do not understand this at all, GAF.
Tell me again, since when is adult males or females pouncing each other into near-death injured beings is cool? I know, since the stone age, but seriously?

The way that gif went around with her getting knocked out - honestly, looked like a grave injury could have easily had happened -, with such ferocity as if she deserved to be nearly killed. What the fuck. I fail to see any kind of fun or joy or whatever in it.

If anything, this interview (parts of it, anyway) should shed some light into the human side of a loss. And yet, the same kind of hearthless posts repeat once again. Why?

I blame the movie Bloodsport.
