Ronda Rousey Will Never Be The Same Again, Says Tate

[ReadWrite]

"She's at the lowest point of her career. I think she's second-guessing whether she even wants to be in it."

"Do I think she'll come back the same?" Tate said. "Something tells me no. Something tells me that she won't and I think it's just my take on the interviews that I've seen her do. I feel like she's somewhere else other than fighting. I don't feel like this is her No. 1 drive or source anymore."

. . .

"Where is her heart really laying?" Tate said. "I know when I've gone through the toughest of tough -- I've been head kicked and knocked out before. I've lost to Ronda twice and that was the most devastating thing that could have ever happened to me inside my career. But here I am. I made myself better for it. I made myself stronger. And I don't recognize that in Ronda. That's all that I'm saying. I don't recognize the same desire, the same drive, the same passion, the same willingness to overcome that kind of adversity. I don't see that in her."

“Some people have been saying that she’s said, ‘I’ll come back for one fight against Miesha Tate because I know that I can beat her, and then I’m retiring,'” Tate said on “The Exchange” on UFC Fight Pass. “That she doesn’t want to fight Holly (Holm). I don’t know if that’s true or not, but I have heard that. If it is true, I find it disrespectful.”

The facade has already been shattered. She can't drink her own Kool-aid anymore.

 

[HereticBD]

Bitch hates another bitch. Nothing to see here.

 

[LukeSkyRutten]

Holly stole her soul.

 

[TheRassler]

she might lose to both holly and cyborg, but she can beat miesha on her worst day.

 

[Tormund]

Tate basically admitting that the only way she beats Rousey is if Rousey is completely broken, Rousey will never come back but if she does she should beat Tate again handily, it's all about styles and Rousey is just levels above Tate in the grappling department. Did the UFC just literally base a Miesha Tate interview around Ronda Rousey? There are other things to talk about. If she were to come back why would she fight Tate anyway? It does nothing for her legacy if she wins.

Tate is just hoping against hope that her assessment is true.

Unfortunately for her, it doesn't matter if she won't ever be the same again, as Ronda still throws Tate around like a lawn dart and turns her limbs into wacky tetris pieces the first chance she gets.

 

[themainman]

Miesha is a great fighter but she'll lose to Ronda everytime
Tate talking shit about Ronda is as dumb as Ronda talking shit about holly, yet one of those keeps happening

 

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

Rhondone

 

[Gabe]

Even if she is broken, she still destroys Tate.

 

[IndyCovaHart]

Tate sure better hope so. Lol

That girl is only borrowing that belt and most sane people know that.

 

[Concrete Whale]

She is mentally destroyed.

 

[ColombianFist]

Rhonda comes back but without her kool aid juice edmond, uncle dana, the ufc p.r department, joe hogan and practically every single of her fans gave her to boost her ego.

No, it's easy to go from saying you can beat the entire division with 1 arm tied behind your back to this.

 

[fightgirl]

I don't see Ronda coming back. To be treated like a God, the amount of worship and hype that followed her wherever she went, to then be reduced to a laughing stock who was "never that good anyway"...

Psychologically, I think we underestimate how hard her fall was.

I wish it wasn't true and Miesha could make the greatest MMA story ever told , but it won't happen . Ronda still wins over her

Tate has the belt fella. You heard that, right? If Ronda is the champ again more casuals will continue to flock and Ronda's star power will once again grow.

Holm shattered all the mirrors and blew away the smoke.

It was Tate that tapped, but it was Ronda who broke.
