I'm a huge RR follower. I watch all her fights and interviews since 2012. I always wish her the best and I always was happy for her success and for her happiness in life. I know she is kind in heart and lovely person, who is always willing to prove something extreme to the world. "To be undefeated", "To be the greatest" were your goals. They were keys for her training motivation, like meaning of life or something. But at the same time they were keys for "Pressure" after each title defense. Pressure was too much for her right before RR vs HH fight. She was stressed during weight in, she couldn't focused properly during the fight, she wasn't relying on her reflexes, she was out of her "flow state". It was heartbreaking to watch. But even more painful was to read all the hate in the Internet during a year.
I had a bad feeling about RR vs Nunes fight since the announcement. Terrible match up for RR, it's no where near to a warmup fight. Event has started at 6 am by local (Moscow) time. I just couldn't sleep before it, and I was thinking about this event every day during last months. I can't even describe what I felt when event was over. It's like, I want to cry, but I just can't let emotions go (I'm a guy...). I used sleeping and sedative pills, but my heart is still beating quite fast, I just can't go to sleep during last 2 days (it's 7pm already). I just don't know how to deal with such emotions now and upcoming Internet hate...
PS. I hope Ronda will understand, she doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. People who hate her will keeping doing it despite win or loss. People who love her will keeping doing it despite win or loss. UFC and MMA is a stressful place to be, I'll stick to her even if she leaves it and start doing something more enjoyable in life. What else a fighter like her can do? She can be an actress, if she invest time in acting lessons (skills can be learned, who cares about "perfect fighters", we all imperfect human beings, she still can have a great role). She can work on a Pokemon video game, if she likes. She can do advertisement. She can write a book. She can start doing whatever she enjoys and whatever she choose to do. People are not supposed to fight each other the whole life, there is another, bright side of life waiting to be visited.
So, what about imperfect 12-2 UFC record? Who cares. That thing is not real after all.
I wish Ronda will find a nice place in her life.
