Ronda Rousey breaks silence: 'I did a whole lot of crying' after UFC defeats

There's gonna be a lot of slow singing and flower bringing
If Rowdy Ronda starts swinging

Just more Ronda-speak in which she pretends to open up while just repeating the usual malarkey about everything being the fault of someone else, healing herself, and vaguely mentioning her losses without saying anything of substance.

At least we know her inevitable WWE crash will be horrendous. You can't keep pairing the female Goldberg with someone as her crutch. It's just a matter of time until fans make her rage quit.
 
I'd feel sorry for Ronda if she wasn't such an arrogant, unlikeable bitch.
 
It started out well, almost like she was getting it....but then:
"(Famous people) keep more and more of it to themselves. Why should I talk? I believe hearing me speak is a privilege and it’s a privilege that’s been abused, so why not revoke it from everyone? I don’t believe public criticism beating you down is the right thing to do."

Couple more years I guess....does she remember they paid her NOT TO FUCKING SPEAK in just about every TV/Movie roll she has landed?

Rousey broke down in tears Wednesday night as she spoke out for the first time about the painful aftermath of the two stunning defeats that prompted the end of her Ultimate Fighting Championship career.

Rousey has remained silent on the shocking upset to Holly Holm in 2015 that broke her unbeaten record in mixed martial arts, and the crushing beatdown she suffered against Amanda Nunes a year later.


However, during a public question and answer session hosted by Hollywood director Peter Berg at the Wild Card West boxing gym, Rousey revealed just how deeply the loss of her reputation as the biggest star in the UFC had hurt.

“I did a whole lot of crying, isolating myself, (husband Travis Browne) held me and let me cry and it lasted two years,” Rousey said. “I couldn’t have done it alone. There’s a lot of things you have to remember. Every missed opportunity is a blessing in disguise.

“I had to learn from experience. From the worst things, the best things have come as a result. Time is a great teacher. It’s that belief that time passes, even bad times.”

If not for those two losses, Rousey may not have signed her current deal with World Wrestling Entertainment. She recently made a star turn at Wrestlemania and has no plans to return to the octagon. With 999 days having passed since she last won a fight that wasn’t scripted, there is no guarantee she would be competitive even if she did.

There was widespread criticism of Rousey who, after seeking global media attention on her rise to prominence, shut herself away as soon as she was no longer bantamweight champion, prompting accusations of being a sore loser.

On Wednesday, she accepted that was indeed the case.

“My parents expected me to be special, so I expected to be special,” Rousey said. “I was just trying to create the job I wanted, and I wouldn’t have the audacity to do that if my mom didn’t tell me I could.

“But one thing my mother never taught me was how to lose. She never wanted me to entertain it as a possibility. She’d say: ‘Let it suck. It deserves to suck.’”

The tears flowed as Rousey spoke, with Berg - who directed her in the upcoming action movie Mile 22 - asking the questions in front of an audience of a couple of hundred fight fans. It is clear that the pain of surrendering her crown as the queen of mixed martial arts still affects her deeply and in that sense, her new arena of the WWE, with its pre-planned fights and story lines, is a perfect fit.

Even now, she is fiercely protected by a media manager, who rails at journalists who ask anything but the very tamest of questions.

"We live in an age of trial by Twitter," Rousey added. "What is really gained by stating opinion on anything? It whittles people down. It gets cut and pasted 10 times and it’s in (a) headline.

"(Famous people) keep more and more of it to themselves. Why should I talk? I believe hearing me speak is a privilege and it’s a privilege that’s been abused, so why not revoke it from everyone? I don’t believe public criticism beating you down is the right thing to do."

I applaud her honesty, and respect her contribution to the sport.

Didn’t read all that, but i was surprised to see that GGG is fighting somebody who is being coached by Edmund in a couple of days.
Ronda even wished him luck at the scrum, so she is still on good terms with Edmund.

*Money* above all, i guess.

“Rowdy” is not making a return to the Octagon, but will instead use her experience as a fighter to manage up-and-coming talent — in both boxing and MMA — under her new company “One Fight Management,” first reported by MMA Fighting.

Caring at this point is sick.

So by your logic, they shouldn't have killed Osama Bin Laden, right? Because why care about 9/11 so long after the fact?

One of the great things about Ronda is that her "fans" are like mosquitos whose arguments get swatted with the greatest of ease.

i thought millennials are about participation trophies?

They're about being special and never losing. (hence the participation trophies). The moment Ronda lost for real and could not simply ignore it - she broke down.

Would a millennial leave his parents' home aged 17 and start supporting himself the following year?

If you’re born in the 80’s, you’re a millennial. You seem to take offense in that term. Seems like a very millennial thing.

WWE's camera work is fucking awful. They think that constantly cutting and shaking the camera will make it harder to see that the hits aren't real, but the fucking fans know the hits aren't real, and all that does is make the show confusing to watch. It's one of my absolute pet peeves. I would fire whoever the hell greenlit that.
