Doesn't change anything for me.
She was a bad winner (against bums) so it's to be expected that someone coming in and utterly taking her apart would hit hard. You cant be a complete b!tch and disrespectful to your opponents and then expect sympathy when one of them wrecks you.
It's the whole 'standing up to the bully' thing. She was great beating up weaker folks, but the moment someone stood up and punched her in the mouth, she was too mentally weak to deal with it.Comment

Rousey is done as a top fighter. Her confidence is shot. The first time Holly lands a straight left against her she will crumble. This is why Noone should ever believe in their own hype.
Holm has been knocked dead before and she bounced back strong. I will respect Rousey if she does the same.
She better hope Tate beats Holm (which is possible) because I don't see Rousey having a shotat beating Holm now seeing how mentally broken she is.
Ronda Rousey is a world-level judoka, who has top-level skills when she gets the fight to the ground; she just sucks when she's on her feet against someone who doesn't also suck on their feet. Whoever her lead coach was did a deep disservice to her.
The fix is simple; pass on the Holm rematch for now, and head to Vegas to train out of Mayweather Boxing Club. in Jeff Mayweather and Dewey Cooper, Floyd's gym has arguably two of the top striking coaches in MMA (with Jeff seeming pretty adept at teaching striking in a way that helps wrestlers stay effective in getting to a more advantageous position).
Rousey is never going to be able to stand and box with Holm (or any top striker for that matter); she just needs to be comfortable enough on her feet to be able to get into position to use her judo.
No different than Chuck Liddell; dynamite striker who knew enough wrestling/takedown defense to keep his fights on the feet.Comment

Ok, not trying to bring race into this, but why does it seem like suicide is so much more prevalent among white people? Not knocking anyone, and any mental illness is a terrible thing, but I literally can't think of one (as an example) black women who ever committed suicide. I've known several people who have in my life and all of them were white. Just seems odd.Comment
