I was looking through a number of weigh ins of Ronda's to see if anything of note could be seen.

This is the latest weigh in at UFC 193 vs Holm:



Not only does she look very drained but also less muscled as I use to remember. Let's go back to when she won the Strikeforce title vs Kaufman.



She obviously look way less drained but also more muscled, but I don't think the difference is big enough to speak about Strikeforce-Ronda as in her prime muscle mass wise.

Her muscle prime was during her time in the UFC.

I think she peaked in the fights vs McMann and Alexis:





She still looked well-muscled versus Zingano but looked more drained.



Similiar versus Correira:




And back again to the weigh in versus Holm.




My conclusion, which I admit is weak, is that 1) the Strikeforce-Ronda's physcial prime is a myth, 2)She peaked musclewise during her UFC run, 3) Had a downturn in her last couple of fights while at the same time looked really drained.

The overall differences are not too big, we don't see any Ubereem vs Ecoreem differences but they are there.

I think she just got lazy, she started to believe her own hype.... she used to say she could beat the rest of the weightclass on her worst day, even if they were at their best. Think that came back to haunt her

theres no denying, when she is in shape..... she's still one of the best fighters in that division imo

I wonder where she learned to buy her own hype...

I did notice that, TS. Good that you actually compiled all that.

As it was pointed out, I think she got complacent. Honestly, she was terrible at her last weigh in, maybe that's why she got her jimmies rustled so easily.
 
Who the hell is gonna take the time to watch a bunch of Rhonda weigh in videos?
 
She just got old. Watch videos of her back when she was in Strikeforce and you see a huge difference. Back then she was at least a 6/10 all dressed up. Now all the professional Hollywood makeup can't hide the 3/10. Some girls (and guys) are blessed with genes that make them look great for decades. Jennifer Beals, Keanu Reeves..others like Ronda have a very narrow window, and she's already out of the window. It's all downhill from here, especially considering the loss and her mental state.

 
Her Holm fight shape was just disguating. You can tell from some of the comments she makes Ronda is pretty closed minded, and really only does what she wants to do, not what she needs to do.

Im paraphrasing here but I'm refereing to the comments she made about her muscles having a "purpose", and thats why she doesn't lift weights.

I dont hate Ronda, she just bugs the shit out of me lately. She really is awesome, for the most part she has a good heart, but shes definitely off her rocker at times.
 
I'm supposed to watch 7 videos one by one to compare? :facepalm
