Rogan: Ronda's not just a once in a lifetime athlete, she's a once ever athlete

[FinBJJ]

What he said could make sense if he is talking about women athletes, which I assuming he is talking about.

Still doesn't make one bit of sense.

 

[Yolandabecool**]

Why didn't she win gold in a D-Grade Olympic Sport?

 

[Spindrift0036]

Rogan's on the good stuff again. Good for him

 

[computer fogie]

shes like wilt chamberlain, during the time he was playing the next tallest guy was 6'0, the athletes sucked in comparison which made him shine. this day and age he would barely make the bench...

No way. You don't appreciate what an incredible athlete Wilt was. And the next tallest guy being 6 feet? WTF, you're trolling right?

Rogan proudly doesn't know anything about any other sport or their athletes.

Until you do, please stop making these types of comment Joe.

Yeah, I think that is it.

I mean, she could be, it'd be really hard either to prove or disprove it, but being wmma such a niche sport, the odds aren't great.

Women's tennis would be way better.

Male's soccer would be practically (99%) irrefutable.

That's a good point. Rogan proudly talks about how he doesn't watch any other sports, no team sports because they are all too "boring" for him, yet I've heard him make claims about UFC athletes, usually comparing their toughness to any other sport

If he doesn't know other athletes then how can he make all his crazy comparisons...he knows nothing about how tough Stevie Y was during Detroit's Cup wins, getting hurt and still playing, being run over by 220lb guys travelling 30mph...

She is an once in lifetime athlete, but she couldn't win the olympics? Hell she couldn't even win a world championship.

 

[Adamant]

She's so dominant because of lack of competition.

 

[High Altitude]

She wasnt even the best in judo. There are better woman combat athletes, just not in the UFCs 135lb woman's division.

 

[mikekoz68]

Joe's comments seem stupid right off the bat in the first sentence which starts saying how she's a "once ever athlete" then he says how she won a BRONZE medal in the Olympics.......

Rhonda Karelin

 

[BarryWashington]

Ronda's a beast

 

[iExciting4Back**]

Joe Rogan quit talking out of your ass. Joe Rogan is what stupid people think a smart person sounds like. She is a tremendous athlete for sure, a polarizing figure as well. Once ever athlete though? Get the fuck outta here.

I think Joe was referring to Ronda's total package, not just how she fights. "She's not just a beautiful girl" would elude to that.

Look, Ronda is a "once in a" athlete. She is very dominant, as dominant as we've ever seen an MMA fighter. She also has unique swaggar and star power, that thing most people refer to as the "it" factor.

And yes, Rogan is ignorant to many other sports, however I don't think he's wrong about Ronda.

 

[Sexy Jesus]

Nadia Comaneci isn't impressed by Rogan's bullshit when it comes to "best female athlete in history"

 

[Boomb]

She wasn't even the best athlete in her first choice of sport.

Exactly.

 

[Lovemonkey]

And her blood cures cancer and HIV

 

[Godless]

Shill.

 

[Degen Gambler]

Ronda is the best ever but how can we know that nobody like her will come along in the future? Put down the weed Joe.

 

[FlowWithTheGo23]

"whom he believes has transcended the sport in ways that no female athlete has done before"

Lol, she was basically the first woman in the UFC. What a silly claim, haha.
