Most of the forum seems to think WMMA was made of rainbows and vanilla ice cream when Carano was on top.???? I’m confused by your response broski. I literally said she’s a trailblazer for wmma. But I do disagree that she did it all herself; the UFC gave her the platform. If you don’t agree with that then fine. But anyway, My post was in response to someone saying well if she defended her title 7-8 times and that makes her overrated, well what does make everyone else? we can’t deny that her opponents sucked and a lot of wmma fighters now in her weight class DO suck. So it’s hard to make a verdict about ratings for female fighters. I’m not blaming Ronda for that. I’m not even really shitting on her. I’m just wondering how you can claim you’re the greatest ever, which I think she has, when you folded when things got hard? It’s not a mean spirited question.
and why bring Gina Carano into this? She’s of no significance and was crushing shittier cans.
She folded because she was brought up in a fucked up way to think losing was completley unacceptable,and to top that off she also was under a tremendous amount of public scrutiny,more so than any other fighter probably.
She experienced being the media darling,and then all of sudden,they,like the fans turned on her fast as lightning.
Who wants to go back to a sport you helped build when everyone is a fuckin ingrate and put it out there that they hate you and laugh at your misfortune to this very day ? She tried to come back,but it was too late.
When she started her farm people hated her for starting a farm,She cant win with these people so i dont blame her for being bitter and not wanting to come back. Her struggle isnt the same as other fighters. Hell look how long Conor took to recieve his beating from Khabib. That guy was out there comitting crimes,getting arrested,and he didnt get nearly the same flack. But i bet it was a bitch to come back,esp after the khabib fight. Sometimes trailblazin aint no easy thing.
