In response to "meh, a fighter is going to lose every now and then. It just takes an unlucky blow at the wrong time." by groiny

she made a tactical mistake. she should have never tried to stand-up fight Holm - decline Nov 16, 09:18
I know she got beaten and kicked in the neck. what do you mean by "game plan exposed"? -- nm* - fabulous squad Nov 16, 09:17 2
- Holm connected on 38 of 53 strikes thrown. Rousey connected on 21 of 69 (settle down Budice). - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:23
- tried to go punch for punch with a boxer - Reagen Nov 16, 09:20
true, I am not sure she has ever felt not in control of a match, and had no idea how to respond. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 09:16 30
- We'll see how she responds going forward. She could easily rebound and be a continued superstar or she could be Brock Lesnar - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:17 29
  - IMO, she got a bit soft with all the photo shoots, movies, interviews and such - groiny Nov 16, 09:19 28
    - Beast Mode could learn a thing from her. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 09:23
    - So Rocky 3 basically. -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 09:23 15
      - totally. You could see it coming a mile away. - groiny Nov 16, 09:25 14
        
        Many of those options go away now, though. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 09:27 13
        
        oh, I don't think they do. Mike Tyson is still getting gigs. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 09:27 12
        
        Maxim type stuff will. She is not *that* attractive. Her being the undefeated champ was part of her appeal. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 09:31 11
        
        she can pretty much write her own ticket into the WWE and dominate there. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 09:33 9
        
        That's chump change for her brand. At most, she'd want to appear twice a year there. -- nm - David Nov 16, 09:35 1
        
        at the cost of risking her face? -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 09:38
        
        Yeah, but that takes her out of the public eye. - Spawn Nov 16, 09:34 6
        
        I think you are selling her short by a lot. - groiny Nov 16, 09:37 5
        
        Going from real athlete to fake athlete would be a step down lower than being Turtle's girlfriend. -- nm - Max Nov 16, 09:38 4
        
        I think you underestimate the WWE's reach. -- nm - pmb Nov 16, 09:41
        
        Ehh, she's already said she wants to do the WWE routine... - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:41
        
        boxers and MMA people are different than other sports. - groiny Nov 16, 09:41 1
        
        You could offer to take her in though! -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 09:42
        
        *thinks hard about what he is about to do* - Shaun Nov 16, 09:32
    - definitely -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 09:23
    - Likely true as well. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:20
    - maybe she bought into her own hype too much. I feel kind of sorry for her. it must be embarrassing. -- nm - fabulous squad Nov 16, 09:20 8
      - The realization she must have had during the fight that she was going to lose must have been worse than "What if I'm stupid and I don't know it?" -- nm - Max Nov 16, 09:24 4
        
        it is similar to the kid who gets drafted as a pitcher. - groiny Nov 16, 09:27
        
        Thing is, a fighter that good as what she can do...she always should have had a chance if she thought it through. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:25 2
        
        It's very odd. I swear I've heard her say in the past she wants to get fights over quick to avoid taking damage to the face. - Max Nov 16, 09:27 1
        
        She's fallen for the hype that she's the "Great One" where she doesn't want to win; she wants to conquer. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:46
      - in some ways she's a victim of her own dominance - Reagen Nov 16, 09:23
      - I am sure this plays into it as well. overconfidence happens all the time in athletics. - groiny Nov 16, 09:22 1
        
        I am sure it was to a point where a part of her wondered why she was training so hard. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 09:24
