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

[WesternChamp]

Where exactly did I say that? The point is that people insist that Rousey needs her ground game back, but totally disregard that Holm and Nunes both have amazing takedown defense and beyond superior striking ability. You have to wait for/create openings to get takedowns, and when you're up against someone who has fast hands and feet, it's not easy. Holm used several straight leg kicks to keep Rousey at distance, and repeatedly landed with both hands. Rousey didn't go for a takedown right away because she couldn't get in, and after she got hurt, she was likely mentally discouraged from getting hit too much. With Nunes, that story tells itself.

there's other ways of taking your opponent down, you dont always need to have a good stand up game in order to do this. you can fake to throw a punch but then go for the take down instead, you can let your opponent be the aggressor and come to you while you shoot in, etc.

Rousey is the female equal to Brock Lesnar, they don't know how to take a shot without panicking

Whats weird though when Ronda fought Holly she didnt back down, she wasnt scared to get hit, she was eating those shots and going forward aggressive, with Amanda the first stiff job froze her, her eyes turned blank and her body stiffened like she was scared she kept backing up and it was like she couldn't bend her knees or move side to side, she looked like a child no defense at all no head movement.

It was actually sad this time if Ronda didnt have an iron chin she would have been out cold, its crazy Ronda is a freak athlete, she has great athleticism and an iron chin but she cant box or handle a barrage she breaks.

I think Ronda is screwed, I heard she has very bad knees from years of Judo, its why she cant bend her knees well, you never see her shoot low for a takedown always up height upperbody judo tosses. Ronda doesn't even do squats because her knees are that bady

because that's the first time she has ever experience that. she was still buying into her own hype against holm so even tho she was getting lit up, she thought she could still win. but now after she got wrecked, she knows how it feels, etc.

Shifting the goal post. Most people would be willing to sleep with an average looking woman but that obviously doesn't make the women models.

Rousey is an average looking woman.

hahaha

shifting the goal post.No I'm not. I told I find her attractive and if you don't that's obviously fine.

I bet you jerk off to internet porn every night. Dreaming of banging the sexiest sluts. That's not the real world.

Rousey is a 6, maybe, in a business full of 2s and 3s. That's her appeal. Similar to Laila Ali. I think Ali is better looking than Rousey. But she's nota dyme either. But when you put Ali next to Anne Wolfe, she becomes a 123568884. And that's usually the case with Rousey and her rivals.

A lot of men will bang ugly, fat chicks when they're too drunk or too horny

it doesn't make the women more pretty

I had a friend whom we nicknamed ¨the ambulance¨, because he'd pick up anyone.

Dude was always horny and looking for ***** and little else. The dude was good looking, but he would target the fattest, loneliest girls at parties, so he could have sex with them as quickly as possible, and he was very succesful. Ronda would be right up this guy's alley

This made me laugh lool

I fee bad for Ronda, she clearly has a mental illness and they threw her in there. She was not built for fighting or losing, she avoided media, and has this F you attitude, no other fighter did what she did. If she went out there after the Holm fight and said congrats to Holly she was tough she won, and man she kicked me hard I gotta work on a new strategy and fix up my flaws people would havfe respected her, but by running away and hiding she gave them more fuel, especially after she was so c0cky and arrognat pre fight, I remember she made up some weird lie that Holly insulted her and she got in hollys face calling her a fake b1tch preacher daughter my azz smh

Ronda has serious victim mentality creating lies to fuel her motivation and UFC and edmund and her boyfriend are her enablers who make her illness worse.

you remember the toney fight against couture? having great hands doesnt mean you cant be taken down.

When have you ever seen rousey shoot for a low single? Her skill set requires her to have to deal with punches to get the position she wants. Look at her old fights...she eats punches trying to get the clinch every time. Holm and nunes are just far better strikers with better movement and reach than her previous opponents. I don't like the term exposed...but with rousey it fits. She can have limited success...just not against anyone who can punch, move, and is strong enough to break the clinch.

Ronda Rousey is an Olympic-level judoka and, for whatever reason, she and her camp seemed to have forgotten that. The simplest answer is that Ronda Rousey needs to find a new camp.

The Skrap Pack (Nick/Nate Diaz, Gilbert Melendez, Jake Shields, Joe Schilling, etc) are all coming out of CGBJJ in Lodi, CA, and Ronda is already cool with all of those guys in the camp. Take the time off that she needs, pursue whatever movies/TV opportunities that come up, but settle into that gym in Northern California and do the work.

The UFC contract likely doesn't let here do everything that she wants, but Ronda should be up for accompanying Nate, Nick, Gilbert, and the other fighters in the camp in the UFC out for their fights.

Learn to be defensively responsible enough on the feet/solid enough with the hands to be able to put yourself into position to use your judo, and enjoy fighting again.

If she's simply going to stick with Edmund, she may as well retire.

Her career is over bro. She doesn't have the heart for it. Apparently didn't even spar for this last fight.
