Comments Thread For: Freddie Roach: Rousey Should Retire, Everyone Has Her Number

[Larry the boss]

If he was making money off of her he would be saying how she has her killer instinct back and looked like the old Rousey in training

[Weltschmerz]

She still looks a little charming when she's got some fat on her...

I always thought she's hot. and what a cute face

:wank:

The thing is she can still beat about 90% of the division. But fighters like Holm and Nunes are just too much for her right now. I actually think she could beat Holm in a rematch if she developed her wrestling instead of going for Judo throws. Nunes is just too much for her though.

Ronda is a pretty girl when not fat, she can do modelling, talkshows, etc.

Ronda's looks are much like her abilities as a fighter, hype. She isn't ugly and she isn't a bad fighter but she is the greatest case of telling as opposed to showing.

Trying to tell me you wouldn't do her?

[WesternChamp]

he has a point, anyone who can box beats her

no. all her previous opponents had better stand up than ronda and still lost. ronda just needs to go back to the basic and thats take down. work on her stand up in between fights behind close doors but stick to what she does best in actual fights and when she feel that she's ready to test her stand up game then thats when she should try it out. but dont be in such a rush to prove to everyone that you can stand and trade. stick to what you know best.

Still funny to see people insisting that Rousey needs to go back to her ground game, like these world class fighters are gonna just let her get inside and shoot for takedowns and throws. In case no one watched the Holm fight, Rousey tried to get inside on a number of occasions, but Holm's hands AND feet were keeping Rousey at bay. In the Nunes fight, it didn't even matter. She got rocked by the first solid shot she took, so no amount of fundamentals were going to save her. She looked real tough coming into the octagon, but as soon as she got punched she turned into a wimpy gazelle.

True but she should not be doing standup if she would take them down arm bar submit them like all her dominant wins she would have a better chance her coach is horrrible thinking he can make her a striker

Problem is her style requires her to walk through punches to get the clinch.

ronda didnt try for the take down in the holms fight until after she got lit up bad. thats when she tried to go for the take down but by then she was done, no energy, no power, etc.

its better to try and do what you know best than to stand there and eat punches lol. and nobody is saying she has to go for the take down running in head first.

Have you ever tried to clinch someone with good hands who doesn't want to be clinched when there's nothing to grab onto? There's a reason judo has never had any real success in the ufc. The only thing that might help her is if her opponent has to wear a judo gi. It's not like she's gonna start shooting doubles.
