Unpopular opinion: Ronda handled losing better than Conor did

[ortizgnp]

I think she did. She went away quietly and left the spotlight to the new champion. She passed the torch like every champion should. Thoughts?

it's true
it's damn true

 

[Rockapotomuss]

Ronda was underrated

I miss Edmund

 

[mbffm]

Yes. Thats how you handle a loss in a very professional way.

 

[nac386]

Maybe. I mean, at least she was never investigated for sexual assault in the aftermath of the Holm loss. But I doubt Schaub would have reported it if it happened.

By refusing to answer any questions or do any media?

Okay...

 

[Yagadot]

Can you imagine if after losing to Nunes Ronda had gone on massive coke bender and ended up having to go to the police station to claim it was consensual sex with that guy during that crazy few days.

By refusing to answer any questions or do any media?

Okay...

still better than living in denial and claiming you won the battle

 

[Oldman1]

I think rampage wins this competition for going on a GTA style rage after losing to forest.

 

[Hornett]

People post the most retarded shit on this forum

 

[PanicWrassler]

Once she cried about it on national TV claiming she wanted to kill herself, it was game over.

I wish with all of my heart that Conor would do that.

 

[ortizgnp]

By refusing to answer any questions or do any media?

Okay...

It's entirely possible.

There is no good way to handle a loss
Loser talk

Honestly TS and the responses in this thread are so embarrassing.

Some of yall are grown men.

 

[WHITE ANDERSON]

the truth is that none of these forum bros have ever been humiliated in the way ronda and conor have been, in front of millions of people, physically dominated by another person who was better prepared, with the highest stakes on the line, and after talking massive amounts of shit

there's no one right way to handle a loss, but there are certainly better ways
ronda's was not the best, but it's clearly better than what conor has done

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Yes. Thats how you handle a loss in a very professional way.

Well sure beats throwing stuff through moving busses.

Assaulting people - physically and sexually.

Demeaning another man's wife and religion.

Posting selective pictures and claiming that somehow you won the war

The list goes on and on but

Conor had his partying, recklessness, etc. issues as a result of fame, not as a result of losing, and I'd go so far as to say that his current situation has nothing to do with him losing a fight. Furthermore, as far as passing the torch goes, remember that Conor holding up the division came when he was champion, not when he had lost. As soon as he did lose his belt, he was no longer the one holding up the division.

Ronda, on the other hand, was doing great until she wasn't. She fell apart after losing the title, and she didn't "pass the torch" at all, at least not of her own will. The fact that Holm, Tate, and Nunes were active after she lost the belt had nothing to do with Ronda, and in fact, her first fight back was for the title. So don't act like Ronda went out quietly; she disappeared, and then tried to get her belt back later.

 

[DLX]

I know this is a troll, but Ronda handled losing in literally the worst way possible next to ending it all.

 

[Congo66]

Wasn't Conors loss 'only business'.
It's not like he hadn't lost before so TS is wrong.
