    This.

    Just using me for example, I hated the idea that women were in MMA. She is really the only fighter I make sure I dont miss anymore. Most other events I dont even bother with anymore. She turned me into a fan.

    I've noticed a slow but steady shift in the MMA cultural climate over the last few years with regard to WMMA. I remember Sherdog used to just be littered with threads about how women should have never been brought into the UFC and how women's fights are terrible to watch.

    But those threads are a lot fewer and farther between now. I think it's Rousey's charismatic yet polarizing nature is obviously a huge part of that. Kind of like Mayweather, you may watch her because you love her or because you love to hate her, but you DO watch her. But I also think, for many fans, it's because the women went out there and put on a lot of matches that, while perhaps not representing the height of technical skill, were just fucking exciting and the female fighters often display 10x the heart and emotion of their male counterparts.

    Tommy Speer had such a promising life in front of him before the senseless murder by AJ. #whitelivesmatter

    BOL!

    That shit was all the way back in 2008. I had only been seriously watching MMA for like a year at that point. I miss those days.

    I did bet on her, though not at those steep odds. A while back I decided the value on Rousey fights was on the "Rousey wins in round 1" prop, which was usually not nearly as steep as you'd expect. I think I took it this time at -160.

    Rousey hides from paparazzi when she lands in LA. After watching this vid, I fear this bitch is about to go off the deep end.

    I was glad she lost because I got tired of the UFC shoving her down our throats. I was just telling spx the week before I was getting tired of it. I mean, every commercial was Rousey during events, every MMA article, the bs about her being the greatest fighter in human history....Id had enough. I didn't think she'd lose, though.

    I think she believed all the hype around her and took the fight lightly.I compare it to Tyson-Douglas. It happens in every sport...people believe their hype. Its hard not to when everyone is saying it.

    I do think the way shes acted since the fight is very childish. Not congratulation Holm, not showing up to the post fight conference, hiding at the airport like a toddler. It just screams spoiled celebrity to me. I hope she comes back to earth and becomes the person she was a few years ago
