Yes, a good opponent is Ronda's kryptonite.Ronda Rousey did not lose her mental edge, she just faced her krypronite twice in a row.

I mean we blame Edmond but he was begging her to move her head.
Ronda is extremely technical and amazing in the clinch, but HORRIFICALLY vulnerable on the feet. Her last 2 fights she fought opponents that understand how to avoid the clinch, maintain range, and butcher her.
All of her previous opponents initiated or couldn't avoid the clinch. None of them had the distance striking and footwork to do damage.

No, they did not make Ronda believe she's an excellent striker. That's what many fans believe. She knows that her forte is not the standing fight. Ronda always looks for the clinch and then go for the takedown and submission. The problem is that his last two rivals (Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes) knew how to keep her out of reach. The problem of Ronda is the transition from long to short distance. In the way she receives a lot of punishment. In her fights prior to Holly Holm that did not happen because her rivals respected her a lot. Even the clinch with Miesha Tate is not the same as with Holy Holm or Amanda Nunes.It's just like Nunes said tho. Edmund is the one (along with tards like Rogan) who put the idea in Ronda's head that she's a great striker. It's so obvious she's not. They had a year to work on takedowns other than the clinch to try and negate superior striking but instead they just kept telling Ronda, "everything's good, champ".
