Ronda doesn't give a fuck. She collects her millions for 30 seconds. Little girls hug her. She retires WMMA is dropped and life moves happily on.
I don't see how this is any different from Werdum claiming he wanted to retire after beating Cain ahd getting the title. Didn't see you crying about that.
She has stated several times that she wants to retire undefeated. After beating 8 of the top 10, with no challenger left, except Cyborg. Then defeating Cyborg, she can rightfully retire on top. She has movies and WWE to make money off of.it was just two years ago that Ronda burst on the scene fighting Liz....and now, two years later she's saying in current interviews that she wants her retirement fight to be against Cyborg at 200?
So your whole mma career will be a whopping 3 years? Alrighty then.
Now Ronda is slipping into the rut of all champions where she only fights every 6 months. Now we get holm next after xmas?? (a worse gimme fight than bethe, if you think holm stands a chance then you're a dishonest troll) ....are you kidding me? ....and then six months later is your retirement fight with Cyborg?
so we get 3 yrs of carmouches', bethes', and holms', then its time to hang up the gloves at the ripe old age of 28?
w-t-f
what's the point of this BS. this is not goat status.
exactly, holm is the biggest can yet, just two fights ago she won a split against Pennington, PENNINGTON! ! A SPLIT!
She's not going to retire.
If you think she is going to walk away from making 7 million a year beating cans, you are a fool.
Sometimes people say things to get press, smart people don't fall for this shit.
She could be serious, and then realize another $10 mil sounds better.
You're right in that Ronda isn't padding her legacy any more by continuing to fight the women she's fighting. But by having done so, she's made money and built up her brand which allows her to make more money.
If Rousey retires from MMA at 28, she'll be 1 year older than Carano was when she retired on a one-sided beatdown from Cyborg... then went into movies to make more money. Wouldn't be surprised in the least if Ronda does the same thing - with some WWE mixed in.
If she is making that outside MMA, why would she go back to it?
Exactly, being the best wmma fighter is kind of like being the best ice hockey player in Mexico. I don't like Cyborg, but I kind of want her to knock Rousey out.
I don't see how this is any different from Werdum claiming he wanted to retire after beating Cain ahd getting the title. Didn't see you crying about that.
The UFC is in full protection mode of Rousey, likely protecting her so she can devote tie to her outside projects without risk of losing coupled with a reduced training load. The Rousey brand could also be protected due to a possible rumored sale of the company or sale of broadcast rights to ESPN. Let's face facts, none of the other fighters are as well known as Rousey who is the face of the company.
It's actually pretty disgusting that Rousey didn't go to bat for Tate to get this shot; she could pull a power play with the UFC if she wanted to. I guess she isn't that confident in her abilities and her middle school girl hate isn't that strong for Tate.
