Rhonda Roo-sey
She was NOT a great fighter. She was great for promoting the Sport to the Female market coz she was the first big name Female.
She was earning millions while her opponents were being paid just a few thousand dollars. Her opponents were part-timers having to work normal jobs while Rousey trained full time.
It was all UFC hype to make her image so huge to attract the big Female market, and it worked - you included. The UFC knows how to increase their viewer Market.
Royce Gracie was also fighting a lot of Part-timers until he met Ken Shamrock and a few others.
But his opponents weren't versed in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as well. I remember when he first came on the scene, everyone started wanting to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, until they realised it was an inferior Martial Art for the Street - me included.
Nope. Not part timers. They were all pro fighters Ronda fought. Her run will go down in the history of women's MMA. She was a great and the game has past her now. With all her title defenses and the way she won their is no argument to say she will not go down as one of the greats. Bagging Ronda is seen as the cool thing to do.
Ronda partly cops hate because people don't like her personality, that's fine but plenty of worse fighters don't cop the hate she does. Like I said it also makes people feel better about their shit lives where they have achieved nothing compared to Ronda.
What about cyborg. All the shit she has been talking and now busted by usada. Lol. Explains why she kept turning down UFC title fight she had been asking for. Busted on her first random usada drug test.
lol nah mate you're just a hater rousey is the muhammed ali of female mma the best there ever wasP.S. I was never a Fan of Ronda Rousey. Judo is an inferior Martial Art for MMA.
lol nah mate you're just a hater rousey is the muhammed ali of female mma the best there ever was
anyone who dares question her greatness is just so super jelly and has a pathetic life didn't you listen to baz? what happened in your life to make you so jelly of ronda stiffy?
are you suggesting a sporting organisation would over inflate the tires of a sub par athlete in order to build their own profile and brand?today I went and had another look at some of the Fighter salaries. Most of Rousey's opponents (the part timers no one ever heard of) were earning like 15K for the Fight while Rousey was earning Hundreds of thousands plus undisclosed PPVs.
Baz himself has previously admitted that Rousey is worth a fortune, yet he now denies that there was this massive salary gap between Rousey and her part time opponents.
This is bullshit. I saw Rocky IV.Rousey earning hundreds of thousands per fight, plus undisclosed PPV, plus a massive UFC contract, plus all the on the side payments for photo shoots and interviews she got due to the UFC promoting her as the greatest fighter since Joe Louis.
All this allowed her to have the best training and facilities money can buy, while her opponents had to hold down ordinary jobs and train in less than ideal conditions.

No matter what we say Baz isn't taking down that Ronda Rousey poster off his bedroom wall.
Stiff man. Reports mcgregor and Floyd have a come to an agreement to fight in Ireland. See what comes of this.
It's gonna happen.
When???
When Floyd Mayweather is old and washed up. Conor McGregor wouldn't be in the top 100 Boxers in the World at any weight.
You're just falling for all the hype and advertising, keeping Conor McGregor, the UFC and Floyd Mayweather in the Headlines - putting money into their pockets.
Lol. Hype and advertising. What you on buddy. If jt doesn't happen it's not putting any extra money in anyone's pockets. Floyd isn't even fighting otherwise. Connor is already the biggest thing in UFC by a mile, he is calling the shots. Holyfield asked to fight him. Lol.
Dana has a massive ego. To be part of the biggest fight ever is right up his alley. The new owners of UFC are just out to make a buck. So dollars will talk to them.
You gotta think like a business person not like a logical fight person.
The higher your profile the more attractive you are to Sponsors the more money you earn. Why doesn't a champ like [MENTION=895]Shrek[/MENTION]; earn much from Sponsors? Because he doesn't have a high enough profile - not enough eyes on him or people listening to anything he says (or wears, or drives etc).
You're also keeping the myth alive that McGregor could swing with Mayweather. Like all the fan boys believing Rousey was a great Fighter.
Bullshit. Some Fan boys (same ones who thought Rousey was the GOAT) believe he has a chance against Mayweather. Once the Fight happens and McGregor gets his arse handed to him in one round the myth is dead and McGregor and the UFC lose some of their image. At this point McGregor can strut around "I could kick Mayweather's arse blah blah).
It hurts the UFC and McGregor's brand if McGregor gets his arse handed to him by a Boxer.
