“Rhonda made the mistake of believing her own hype. She thought she was a devastating puncher and knockout artist instead of a arm bar specialist. She ran into a decent boxer in her first loss and a real devastating puncher in her last loss. She should have ignored the hype and stuck to the style that got her to the top.”
The trouble with sticking to 1 style is that people figure out what you are doing and adapt counter measures. Hip throw, armbar. Hip throw, armbar. That’s all she has. A punch in the face countered that pretty well. Now I think she has lost her confidence, her ability to intimidate her opponents and her ability to win.
If any female UFC athletes should be in action movies, it’s Gina Carano and Misha Tate, not Rousey. /shudder
