News Ronda Rousey finally opens up about reason she quit mma

[Belaya Smert]

I hope she is completely done with MMA and pro-wrestling so I don't have to see her anymore.

*Once in a lifetime fade to black

 

[BJJ4Tone]

She went to pro-wrestling.

Hard to take this concern too serious.

Like seriously. Pro wrestling is right up there with football, as far as CTE risk goes.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Brave women
UFC was not worthy

 

[headmunt]

“I think that there was just so much to (that loss), that I couldn’t talk about it in the form of like an interview or an article or anything like that, or there would be several filters between my words and people reading it,” Rousey said

Probably not necessary to pile on, but didn't she do an interview on Ellen right after?

 

[Local Plata]

Sure, Ronda. Sure.

 

[AmonTobin]

In other words, I knew I would continue to get KO’d brutally because the top striking is at another level.

 

[rearnakedchoke]

You don’t get concussed in WWE?

Maybe that’s the cte talking

 

[JIGGERS]

Good thing she kept those concussions secret, otherwise her opponents would have tried to hit her instead of jumping into an armbar.

 

[Goutfather]

i never liked ronda, but the amount of hate she gets is pretty over the top, even years after retirement. seems like she’s an emotionally fragile person, and once she lost, it finally started getting to her. just goes to show, you need thick skin if you want to play a heel in mma.

i also don’t really believe her story. maybe she had some concussions, but that’s clearly a pretext for the actual reasons she quit.

 

[jeff7b9]

Where were all these concussions coming from? Other than the last 2 ass beatings she barely got hit in her career.

Judo

 

[deviake]

That may have something to do with it but I had the impression that it was because she took brutal losses and didn't think she could ever make it back to the top. Regardless, I think she made the right move retiring from MMA, even if she got some more wins she wasn't gonna be champ and very likely would've sustained more concussions. She hit the top and made a bunch of money, not much reason to continue, her career was highly likely to be all down hill after the Nunes loss.

At least with wrastling she gets to do something she enjoys, mitigate risk, and still get them greenbacks.

 

[Pechan]

Never got the weird hate the hardcores have for her, her ground game was beautiful to watch and to this day there is still no one in the women's division that comes close.

 

[LostMyBlackBelt]

No, she "quit" because she sucked and people booed her and made her cry. (oh wait, I thought this was why she quit wrassling)

 

[Noveltymortar]

I'm fairly certain she retired because she got utterly humiliated once she started fighting opponents who knew how to fight.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

I went through my Honda hater phase back in the day, but I don't hate her nowadays, looking back on her career and how she kind of made me take notice of WMMA early on. She was obnoxious for sure, but she did put on some fun fights, win or lose imo.

 

[bongwater]

she is the devil! thanks to her we are stuck with wmma!

 

[LoneLynx]

Where were all these concussions coming from? Other than the last 2 ass beatings she barely got hit in her career.

It literally says it in the cliffs, from judo

 

[HHJ]

Well she did admit to hiding it so she could continue doing risky behavior.

Well you cant talk sense or be in objective in a Ronda Rousey thread. It gets proper virginal in here.


BTW ALL HAILS RRR

 

[HHJ]

Where were all these concussions coming from? Other than the last 2 ass beatings she barely got hit in her career.

Well if you read,she says she got concussions from her Judo career also,where people get dumped on their fuckin head,which she has been doing since she was a kid.

Anyway in pro wrestling,she was at least in the beggining booked in a way where she wouldnt have to take crazy bumps.

 

[duke_droese]

I can see the possibility of CTE from Judo as she was doing it intensely from like 5 years old because of her mom.
