Those aren't normal instincts at all especially for a supposed professional fighter.

Wow. Word was she gets $3million for this fight and then retires. I take a short whooping like that for $3 mil. Hurts her brand but set for life. Boo hoo

Can't see her in movies anymore as her "mystique" is now gone for sure. But I was reading once how the WWE is interested in her so can see her going that route as she can act and "win" a fight there

Her defeat to Holm completely destroyed her confidence and mentality, she needs to come back to reality and take in and accept both of these L's otherwise she need to be on serious watch. She has a mental state of a 12 year old girl that freaks out if she doesn't get what she wants. Both L's will be the best thing that ever happened to her, it should make her stronger and I'm not just talking about the UFC but her life in general.

People said the same thing after the Holm fight. She took a lot of time off to come back healthy physically and mentally and look what happens. She doesn't have it anymore, she looked lost out there and had no clue what to do. It was like a person who never fought before...

that time off was the worst thing that happened to her, getting back into action asap would've greatly benefited her imo

I mean.. she should have left her bullsh*t camp and trainer when they had her try to strike with a CHAMPION BOXER smh

SoCalKnickFan · Post #133 » by **SoCalKnickFan** » Sat Dec 31, 2016 6:21 am

She should retire w her health intact. She's accomplished plenty.

I was honestly more surpised with the Cruz-Garbrandt. Not hard to imagine Ronda getting lit up on the feet but Cruz losing by decision?? Damn.

She didn't create the female division in MMA...I think you mean in the UFC.

Yea that was a shocker...Cruz is the smarter fighter and person basically...didn't think Cody had that level of craftiness in him.

She could've fought a nobody first as a tune up fight instead of getting a title shot right away. This is what's wrong with her. If she was more humble, she would've worked her way back to championship form, a longer process but better for her career.

It's like anything else in life. When you doing something you not supposed to be doing and get caught, but feel like you have no choice but to go do it again because you need to, the memory of getting caught clouds your thinking. And you end up looking like that.

Bottom line is she's not a fighter. She's kinda cute. She trains. She can throw hands. If the average chick sleeps with her man then that chick is in a world of trouble. But she's not supposed to be on that stage. She's not a fighter in mind heart and soul. Most of those UFC chicks were hand picked to sell fights. Kinda cute and could kinda fight.

But this Nunes chick is a real fighter. Not just meaning she can throw hands. But meaning if you punch her in the face she is going to come after you. And someone is getting seriously hurt. Ronda and most of those chicks are there just to sell tickets and have no business is a ring with a girl like nunes.

UFC brand is falling off. That was a PPV championship fight main event. And the challenger former champion didn't even put up a fight. When have you ever seen a so called big fight like that get stopped in less than a minute with both people still standing?

Different era i suppose, but im fairly confident Rhonda is the more well known fighter and she didnt have a famous last name to springboard off of.
