IMO, she got a bit soft with all the photo shoots, movies, interviews and such

it is impossible not to. She can't possibly devote the same amount of time to training as she did when people did not give a shit about her.

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
