Ronda and WMMA getting kind of crushed on SportsTalk shows

[TheNinja]

I cannot stand Ronda honestly and I'm glad she got knocked out. But say what you want about her she is still getting national and local radio show media attention. The local show here was talking about her and the fight.

They basically said what we all thought. Ronda was beating subpar competition and beating athletes that just aren't very good fighters and aren't very athletic. The first true test she had she got destroyed.

Dan Patrick had the Danettes come up with funny headlines on the Ronda loss.

I guess love her or hate her she still "moves the needle". And the funny thing is there isn't a lot of talk about Holm. It's all about Ronda and how she lost. But honestly if you put yourself out there like she did and are billed as a once in a lifetime talent, then it's gonna come back to bite you when you lose.

These sports talk shows along with the rest of the media along bought into the Ronda hype hook, line, sinker and convinced millions of people around the world to do the same and now after seeing Ronda so easily destroyed they feel like fools.

the sports talk shows exist upon hype, same as these forums.

I was just watching UFC's own channel FS-1 with Colin Cowherd's show. And he like any reasonable adult was just laughing off the Ronda crushes Floyd talk. They even had a graphic on the screen with a Dana White quote "Ronda ragodolls Floyd' as they showed clips of the 135 lb female(as Colin put it) destroying Ronda.

Sportstalk shows are completely wrong then, but that's not unusual.

 

[Lemmy]

well, it's ufc that deserved to be crushed.

 

[Corleone187]

I wonder if that cell phone company will sue the UFC now for misleading a product to them in Ronda? They tried to sell Ronda as once in ever something, mythological creature thingy

Now whenever I think of Metro PCS I think of slow and crappy service that sucks. Quite damaging to the brand.

The Rousey hype was unprecedented in the history of modern sports never mind women's sports.

This forum existed long before any hype... I miss those days.

Ronda still probably would beat Floyd in an MMA match (but would be utterly destroyed within 60 seconds in a boxing match). Now give Floyd at least six months of MMA training or at least some TDD and it becomes a completely different story. Ronda would probably lose at least half the time.

What happened with Holm was partially a bad camp and partially that she made the mistake of staying on her feet with her. If she makes that mistake again in the rematch then she deserves what she will get.

BTW, don't think I am a RRR fan. I respect her as a fighter but I jumped for joy when she lost. Just telling it as it is.

I guess the mens middleweight division must be the same. Anderson was fighting sub-par opponents, first real test that comes along (weidman) beats him twice.

I hope you're joking.

 

[sangreporsangre]

At least we won't have to hear bullshit like them asking NFL linemen if Ronda could beat them up anymore.

 

[bjjwar]

At least she became a world wide joke.Thanks Ronda

Well Anderson fought Vitor and Hendo and lost when he was 38 out of his prime.Ronda is still 28 and in her prime.There's a big difference.

holy shit, not, this would not happen

I think it would. Holm would beat Mayweather in an MMA fight as well. Mayweather knows nothing about take down defense or grappling. Once they get him down the fight is over.

I hope you're joking.

I'm not. Mayweather is a boxer not an MMA fighter.
