Not pounds...UFC 200. What is the reason she didn't get herself ready and come back to fight Tate?
I feel like there's this implied, unspoken (now, at least) understanding that, "oh she's still 'working it out.' " (is that how you end a quote within a quote)?
Working what out? And then the other reason that's kinda lazily floated out there without any true rebuttal from anyone is this very nebulous and general statement about her "movie shooting schedule." So she was literally shooting a movie during the months leading up to UFC 200? So there was something specific and tangible that kept her from being able to prepare for 200?
I guess I'm trying to get a feel for a general consensus. Is it that she still hasn't mentally recovered? For the people who's watched her interviews, is that the feeling you get? Has an interviewer directly asked her that question? Yeah, they've asked her "if she's coming back," but how about, "what's kept you out so long, and why haven't you given a definitive answer for your return?" To me that's the obvious question, and to avoid asking that is ignoring the 178 pound female elephant in the room. I can't bring myself to watch any current interviews as she surely will portray herself as some kind of victim, but I get the general feeling that the interviewers are treating her with kid gloves without asking the one main question.
If she were coming back, she really ought to say, "I'm 100% going to return by the end of the year." This should be a certainty, not a maybe. What's there to debate?
