Cm Punk was on his way but politics stopped himShe's not wrong. How many people have claimed both WWE and UFC titles?
Brock and Ronda, and that's it

I think that some competitors need to believe in themselves to the point of delusion. If that's that the thing that lets her walk into the cage with someone looking to beat her unconscious... that's cool with me.
Whether it's Ronda, GSP, Mir, Nick Diaz... the psychology of some of the greatest ever is usually a mess.
And there was me thinking she lost as they were better fighters.In case you didn’t watch the video in the thread, she basically said she was way ahead of everyone else skill wise going into the Nunes fight, but lost because her brain doesn’t callous and was susceptible to being punched in the face. The first punch put her out on her feet. She also said she went into the Holm fight with a concussion caused by falling down stairs prior to the fight.
How can you not love her? She’s amazing!
I question anyone who still liked Joe Rogan or found his opinions valid after the things he said about Ronda, at the height of the hype.
She was great, but she was very limited. And that truth came out once she started fighting the very best.
She was never gonna beat any male bantamweights.
She was never gonna beat Floyd Mayweather
She was never gonna beat Cain
I think GSP had the best psychological game in the business, although he was also obsessive to the point that it was tiresome. GSP was highly self-aware, but had underlying confidence in his skills. He didn't need to massage his ego by talking a lot or having excess bravado.
Mir IMO was somewhat delusional and always thought he was better/smarter than he was. Ronda was completely delusional. In both cases I think it hindered them as Ronda never improved and Frank fought stupidly a lot of the time, often acting as though others couldn't hurt him. If they had been more self-aware they would have fared better. However, that said, if you aren't self-aware it is still better to be confident than not confident.
For real. Even if she did all the things they say she should do,they'd hate her for doing that too.Fame and success caught up to Ronda, as it does to most fighters. She was one of the most dominant fighters to ever grace this sport and no doubt one of the most exciting. At the same time I have never seen a fighter with more haters, not even Conor. Just read this thread. It's discusting.
Your rightGSP's mindset may have been good for his career, but a guy who's obsessing over how scared he is (and justifiably so), is absolutely not in a great headspace.
Fear and anxiety made him cautious and caution made him dominant, but it probably wasn't a great head space to live in for months at a time.
How in the hell can you say you are so much better than everybody else and not be able to throw a punch without looking like a retard? She had amazing grappling skills, but she was so untalented in the stand up department, it's not even funny. Even after years and years of striking training she looked worse than CM Punk throwing a punch after 2 days, it was embarrassing...In case you didn’t watch the video in the thread, she basically said she was way ahead of everyone else skill wise going into the Nunes fight, but lost because her brain doesn’t callous and was susceptible to being punched in the face.

By having matches that end in 30 seconds?How in the hell can you say you are so much better than everybody else
Maybe she learned head movement from that movie breakin. Or maybe breakin 2 electric boogaloo. That pop lock shit is weird.She has strong head movement, it is just front to back. That is a great skillset in a gf, but it makes a very hittable fighter.
Haha. Maybe she always smells like wet dog and sinus infectionDoes she ever shower?!
It showed that if you studied BJJ since you were a toddler and had done dozens of Gracie Challenge fights already, you'd beat guys who had way less experience. I saw guys with 3 to 6 months of basic judo/JJ training and Gracie BJJ VHS tapes tap out much bigger guys back in 1995. Seeing Royce do the same thing didn't amaze me.So Royce winning in UFC wasn't saying much either? So we discount all pioneers?
