I find her inspirational. She could display more sportsmanship but then again, there are a lot of male fighters who trash talk as a marketing scheme and don't get the obscene amount of hatred (a lot of it misogynistic in nature) as Rousey.
The male champions usually don't trashtalk though. GSP, Jon Jones and Anderson Silva don't really trashtalk. If she's gonna be a champion she should be comfortable instead if having a chip on her shoulder.
Smekzy Edits Like I said, I think more sportsmanship would be better, not worse. But she's cool with Cat Zingano, who actually beat Tate and was supposed to be the other TUF18 coach. Zingano even asked Rousey on Twitter to beat Tate up for her haha. I think it's a personal thing between Rousey and Tate and Rousey is just super brutally honest and can't hide her feelings.
kiana albright And you know this because you are inside her head? She never trash talked Zingano even while it looked like she was going to be the other TUF coach
Nothing threatens weak men more than a self-possessed, strong woman. Ronda: class, sass, and absolutely badass. Cannot wait for September 4 and December 28.
Rousey has promoted women's mma, even Tate acknowledges that, if some people don't like her she doesn't care, she's laughing all the way to the bank. I admire her, she's worked very hard to get where she is. I also admire Tate, she s a very courageous fighter
By the comments here I can see why Bullying is Americas claim to fame now. If you watch what is happening Tate is Instigating. Like Bullies do to "weaker" kids ,but in this case it's to a person that destroyed her in the ring already. So it seems even more childish on Tate's part. Now ,If Tate was doing this to gain an advantage strategically ,to get in Rhonda's head. I would applaud her. BUT ,when Dana Ordered her to stop .she couldn't help herself and continued to taunt. If you watch the show ,you see that Tate "needs" to Taunt ,to make herself feel better. She is very Insecure and rightly so. Rhonda took her arm from her like she was a child. Just put her hands around it and said "This is mine" and Took it. So many comments that are "perception" based and you can see that they were told to think this. You didn't watch the show. Others are just so personally biased they refuse to see what is happening. Maybe it's I relate to her. Because If I saw someone Taunting and being a jerk ,like I saw Tate doing. I would react the same way. I got in 4 fights in school. All were with someone like Tate. They were the school bully and Taunted people. Each time I put them in a sleeper hold and whispered in their ear. "If you ever mess with me again ,you will not wake up". They never did mess with me again ,in fact nobody would. This was before there was a UFC. I still don't know how I knew and did what I did. Never lost a fight but I never started 1 either. I also want to say that Tate had Rhonda's back and she easily got out of it. Between her athleticism ,skill and will to win ,you guys are under estimating her with the "1 Trick Pony" comments. She won a wrestling Title in the Boys division. Her speed and agility is amazing. Too bad she has a kind heart and people's negative comments are actually getting to her. Watch the show. Even with it being edited to manipulate perception you can see the things I said. Tate was callous and just said hateful things to try an hurt her. Not get into her head to have an advantage ,just to be hateful. It's scary more people don't seem to "see" it.
denise jefferson You sure? Was it not Tate that told her boyfriend to grab Ronda's ass. Is that not instigating stuff. Remember to Tate's boyfriend said he was gonna knock ronda's teeth down her throat on twitter before the first fight. Tate did instigate to telling Ronda she does not even know how to throw a punch or hit pads at all. Tates words were grab her ass bryan give it a good squeeze. By the way ronda has said many times she respects her as a fighter & she is bad ass & a fierce competitor & athlete. But she does not like her as a person. So she is being true to herself & real while Tate puts on this fake persona.
She's such a baby. Notice she never takes accountability for her behavior. She ALWAYS has an excuse. Whenever she gets backlash for acting out of line, she always says "well so-and-so did this or that to me...." She doesn't have enough class to simply take the high road and act like a mature adult.
Rousey, defender of all good Armenians!! She's too good to act this dumb, I feel like Tate has seriously gotten into her head. You can hear her voice tremble at times, not a good sign.
I think Ronda maybe turning into the most masterful troll of all time combining the powers of Chael Sonnen and Nick Diaz to become the Anderson Silva of trolling.
After seeing TUF, do I think Rhonda is a psycho? Yes. Do I hope Miesha wins the fight? Yes. Do I think Rhonda will win? Yes. Who do I credit for Rhonda being the way she is. Her psycho mom. Do I love answering my own questions? Oh Hell yes!
If I acted the the she has I'd be ashamed to watch too! Minesha has more class in her little finger than Rhonda will ever have. She's a good fighter but such a head case!!!
Miesha looks in great shape when not fighting, but Ronda blows up...I mean look how big her face has gotten, looks like the face of BJ Penn lol and she seriously needs humbling, a loss will do that
These people overreact to everything. They fight over immature things all the time, it's just that, Ronda's intention is to give the fight publicity, and maybe get in her rival's head a little bit. Her technique seems immature, but clearly it works. What's immature is how her opponents respond.
When there's genuine beef between fighters, it's entertaining and sure, birds get flipped and shit gets said. Rousey just flipping Tate off because she wasnt getting intimidated is just childish. Ronda does seem like a spoilt kid.
I totally agree. and meisha has such an awesome personality. ronda is such a bratty little twat. I want ronda fighting cris cyborg! she would get SMASHED. steroids or not, shes amazing.
I feel the same... Rhonda lucked out... Out of all the women I've seen grace the octagon... I think the only ones who would give Rhonda trouble are Zingano, McMann, Cyborg and Carano... So the only two we could definitively look forward to doing that right now is McMann or Zingano.
Guys I hate to break it to you, but what Ronda is doing is something that most fighters do. They trash talk, they disrespect other fighters, that's just the nature of the beast. The only fighter who was ever consistently respectful to their opponents was Randy Couture. So if you have a beef with Ronda and all her trash talking, that is what fighters do, so get over it.
Ronda is a nice person. I've seen the fun side of her in videos with Uriah Hall and her friend just goofin around. She has a temper. She did judo FOR YEARS. and she's gotta put a barrier because of all the BS that's she been through. SHE'S THE FIRST WOMAN'S UFC CHAMPION. It's not gonna be all bell and whistles and she is a large part of the UFC gaining so much attention. She's done a lot for women fighters and building the image that yes you can be the most baddass women on the planet.
I'd like to see Rhonda's chin get really tested. I know once it goes to the ground it's going to be tough for Tate, but in the first fight Tate didn't do too bad she just got caught. I agree, anything can happen in MMA. Either way it will be a good fight to watch.
Where are all these Rousey haters coming from? Rousey is gorgeous, a legit fighter, and a proven winner. She's going to continue to dominate until someone learns their game as well as Rousey knows the judo game (or gets a lucky punch in.)
i'm glad to hear that my friend, i have my opinions you have yours. i just get frustrated when i see people thinking they know someone as a person when all you see is them in the mma world, i also feel like when men do things like this everyone freaks out and gets exited,then when the women do it everyone is like "oh you went to far,you classless bitch",double standards i suppose :)
This controversy no longer makes sense, Miesha is in his things and Ronda in other things. After so long it is absurd to look for guilt. I believe that both deserve the best, and that is what I wish them both.
I prefer my fighters more humble...she just doesn't come off like that. Take note from GSP. People may not like him, but he is very humble and a great champ. Doesn't underestimate anyone based on his success level. Anyway, I think I need to see more fighting dimensions from her before I become a fan.
I used to love her cause she was so humble but now she's a little bit annoying. I just realized a girl with class despite of physical attributes are more attractive than someone who is rude.
Guys relax, Ronda's just acting, i feel behind close doors she's a nice person and takes great pride in the sport. Miesha is acting too, she wants to come off as a classy girl, but i personally feel she's isn't, especially when she lost to kat and disrepected her in thier fight. Hope ronda shuts herdown permanelty.
Whats with all the Rousey hate? Im so confused. Eh whatever, I think shes an amazing fighter, with probably one of the most remarkable runs so far in her mma career. While I dont see Tate as being able to do much of anything to Rousey, win or lose, Im always going to enjoy watching her fight, even just so I can see amazing judo that is very lacking in mma.
for all the people out there that says they love ronda Rousey so you’re saying you love a person that doesn’t like doing sportsmanship or being a team player or showing little girls what a true champion post to look like and love calling people out on their flaws instead of looking at hers don’t get me wrong, she’s a good fighter but I would not want to look up to a person that’s just want to be cocky and rude and disrespectful to her other opponents as a professional you supposed to keep it clean and classy not come out here and flipping the middle finger 🖕🏾 on the TV and use bad words after you post to be showing an example for little girls out here What professional does that
Go ahead and give me a thousand dislikes but i don't know why yall are hatin on ronda rousey she is the ufc champ . . . WINNERS ARE WINNERS and LOSERS ARE LOSERS, look ali wasn't always the most liked champion, neither was tyson, floyd mayweather, or most of the greatest fighters than have ever fought in either a cage or a ring so why hate just appreciate the skill and stop complaining!!!!!!!
At first, I was thinking the same thing, but I am giving Ronda the benefit of the doubt and like to think it's all an act. I'd like to think she is still a genuine, respectful, articulate champion like her mother. Not a, up herself jack ass like Nick Diaz. For christ sake Ronda is an Olympic Champion, she knows how to act like a graceful champion, I think TUF, Training, being a champ and all the photo shoots and fame might be getting to her. But that's understandable. I'm still on team Ronda.
Don't form opinions about fighters based on TUF. I'm not saying she isn't annoying at times, but I'm sure they both aren't as bad as they are perceived from MMA fans. TUF cut scenes/edit film to make some fighters look bad or good, whatever will get more ratings. Don't be a hater!
Miesha Tate has proven to herself quite a few times since the weigh in before her loss to Rousey not to be in Rousey's league. She's a decent fighter but not as good as Rousey AND she doesn't have the character worthy of championship status.
If you mean Miesha Tate, you're damn right. If you're referring to Rousey, you might want to go all the way back to Strikeforce and the events surrounding Rousey's matchup against Tate for the women's bantamweight belt leading up to March 2012. When you choose to do so, and you see what Tate had to say about Rousey back then and vice versa; I'm certain you'll change your views about Tate. And on Rousey flipping off Tate at one of the UFC press conferences back in July 2013, Tate deserved that.
After have seen their last fight Meisha definately have the advantage on their feet....she needs to keep the bout standing not grappler with this bitch otherwise it will ends like it did last fight...
To be honest there's no disagreement. I think everyone pretty much feels the same about the Rousey Tate situation. Ronda is overdramatic and Tate is a shit stirrer. We all know what the fight is gonna be like, but we just want to see the TUF season because we like watching people who hate each other.
Good answers Rhonda, this dude who interviewed you seems to offer everybody he interviews a fair opportunity for each person interviewed to speak their minds. I note there are still those loser lounge-room comment critics who can't do much other than sling their dumb-arse crap-talk. Stay feisty mean and strong Rhonda.
I think everybody is hating on Rousey because she's acting like a bitch etc etc. When really she's just 100% honest and upfront with everything and everyone and people aren't comfortable with that. If she doesn't like you, she's not going to pretend to. Its that simple. She's being herself and thats rare for people these days. That being said, I want Tate to win. I just think its unfair that Rousey is getting so much hate
I personally think she is just trying to promote the show..... nothing promotes and attracts viewers than rivalries..... is it any coincidence that there seems to be some beef with EVERY single coach on that show? I think Liddell vs Couture were the only 2 I can think of that didn't have a problem with one another. The UFC is turning into the WWE....
True dat. And Edward the "trainer" was a coward. He asks a guy if he wants to "go right now" and when the guy says "sure lets go right now" Edward changes his mind and says "oh you want me to get kicked off the show thats why you are calling me out" even though he did the initial call out, and has to have Rhonda jump in and save him. Sad fuck.
Hey, they're fighters. Not everyone can be Randy Couture and be respectful to all the others. They get in eachother's face, talk all the trash, and develop a massive hatred for eachother. That's just how it goes. Not to mention, the bad attitudes get all the ratings.
she trys to act like nick diaz .Diaz-Penn (headbutt) ,Ronda-Miesha (headbuut) Diaz-Shemrock (flip off) Ronda-Miesha (flip off) He probably sad to her "just act like me and you"ll be rich"
yes saying Ronda is jealous of her and caraway even though he threatened to knock her teeth out is professional. did you even listen to the interview she said something happened on tuf and she cant talk about it until that episode comes out. If you go and watch previous interviews from the last 20 months since the rivalry started you will find Miesha is nowhere near professional and contradicts herself all the time whereas Ronda always tells it as it is.
I'd rather support Ronda's over dramatic personality than a snake in a grass type of a person who shouldn't even be there in the first place if not for a freak injury.
I dont care about trash talking.. Doesnt make me more interested. Id rather see her fight cat. Trash talk might interest a casual fan but real fans are excited for good fights like jds vs valasquez.. You know good fighters that dont need to talk to hype a fight. And i dont see this as a challenge for ronda. I think the bones card also with 2 title fight will have better fights
lmao....Ronda cant get over the fact that she is champion but female fighters like Tate and Kaufaman have WAY more fans. so happy she did TUF, her and her team are exposed.
She almost, I mean really close to almost DIDN'T keep winning. Her time with her one trick is running out. Her bad girl persona has everything to do with keeping or losing fans.
Miesha would have been the UFC title holder if she hadn't lost to Ronda, it was a fight for the title, and Miesha was defending it in a sense since she was the Strikeforce Champ and Rousey a nobody.
Wouldn't say a lot of the men. But I would agree that it is entertaining. But not better than the male fights. And yes some female fights were better than some male fights. At the end of the day it comes down to individuals and how you define a good fight. What I am trying to say it like comparing oranges with apples there is no point its just different.
Shes been the same since day one, of not maybe better. Even if she was trying to act touch, she has all the room in the world as long as she keeps winning
Damn. Why the fuck are ppl hating on Rhonda first of all being like nick Diaz is awesome. She is actually acting natural hence not trying to control how she is being perceived. None of the awkwardness of Jon jones none of the boring scripted answers you get from other fighters.
unfortunately ...rondas personality ,good or bad, is perfect for womens mma right now she just the spark plug they need to push them in to the spotlight
They're both frontin'. Tate was all sweetheart before the Zingano fight. And when she lost to Zingano, she was cussing up a storm about the fight being stopped early, and whining about how things turned out. Ronda has always been obnoxious. That shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. Ronda and trash talk go together like bacon and eggs. I say just sit back and enjoy the show.
I find her inspirational. She could display more sportsmanship but then again, there are a lot of male fighters who trash talk as a marketing scheme and don't get the obscene amount of hatred (a lot of it misogynistic in nature) as Rousey.
The male champions usually don't trashtalk though. GSP, Jon Jones and Anderson Silva don't really trashtalk. If she's gonna be a champion she should be comfortable instead if having a chip on her shoulder.
Smekzy Edits Like I said, I think more sportsmanship would be better, not worse. But she's cool with Cat Zingano, who actually beat Tate and was supposed to be the other TUF18 coach. Zingano even asked Rousey on Twitter to beat Tate up for her haha. I think it's a personal thing between Rousey and Tate and Rousey is just super brutally honest and can't hide her feelings.
She would've started with zingano just as she started this whole rivalry with Tate.
kiana albright And you know this because you are inside her head? She never trash talked Zingano even while it looked like she was going to be the other TUF coach
Nothing threatens weak men more than a self-possessed, strong woman.
Ronda: class, sass, and absolutely badass.
Cannot wait for September 4 and December 28.
why are yall hating on rousey, she's real!!! she's her own person!
Rousey has promoted women's mma, even Tate acknowledges that, if some people don't like her she doesn't care, she's laughing all the way to the bank.
I admire her, she's worked very hard to get where she is.
I also admire Tate, she s a very courageous fighter
By the comments here I can see why Bullying is Americas claim to fame now.
If you watch what is happening Tate is Instigating. Like Bullies do to "weaker" kids ,but in this case it's to a person that destroyed her in the ring already. So it seems even more childish on Tate's part.
Now ,If Tate was doing this to gain an advantage strategically ,to get in Rhonda's head. I would applaud her. BUT ,when Dana Ordered her to stop .she couldn't help herself and continued to taunt.
If you watch the show ,you see that Tate "needs" to Taunt ,to make herself feel better. She is very Insecure and rightly so. Rhonda took her arm from her like she was a child. Just put her hands around it and said "This is mine" and Took it.

Too bad she has a kind heart and people's negative comments are actually getting to her. Watch the show. Even with it being edited to manipulate perception you can see the things I said.
Tate was callous and just said hateful things to try an hurt her. Not get into her head to have an advantage ,just to be hateful. It's scary more people don't seem to "see" it.
Tate wasn't instigating anything. Ronda just needs to grow up.
denise jefferson That's why Tate's Boss ,Dana ,Told her to STOP.
YouAreOneOfUs yeah he tried all he could to stop it? no he knows that conflict sells seats. He doesn't give two shits about their rivalry.
denise jefferson
You sure? Was it not Tate that told her boyfriend to grab Ronda's ass. Is that not instigating stuff. Remember to Tate's boyfriend said he was gonna knock ronda's teeth down her throat on twitter before the first fight. Tate did instigate to telling Ronda she does not even know how to throw a punch or hit pads at all. Tates words were grab her ass bryan give it a good squeeze. By the way ronda has said many times she respects her as a fighter & she is bad ass & a fierce competitor & athlete. But she does not like her as a person. So she is being true to herself & real while Tate puts on this fake persona.
She's such a baby. Notice she never takes accountability for her behavior. She ALWAYS has an excuse. Whenever she gets backlash for acting out of line, she always says "well so-and-so did this or that to me...." She doesn't have enough class to simply take the high road and act like a mature adult.
Couldn't agree more. She's always taking the bait.
+Yotto O. There is a difference between an excuse and a reason.
Why so much hate on Ronda? I guess people always hate on the best...
Rousey, defender of all good Armenians!! She's too good to act this dumb, I feel like Tate has seriously gotten into her head. You can hear her voice tremble at times, not a good sign.
I think Ronda maybe turning into the most masterful troll of all time combining the powers of Chael Sonnen and Nick Diaz to become the Anderson Silva of trolling.
It's because she's insecure and cares very much about whether people like her or not.
Best looking "girl in glasses" I have ever seen, and quite the fighter...
After seeing TUF, do I think Rhonda is a psycho? Yes. Do I hope Miesha wins the fight? Yes. Do I think Rhonda will win? Yes. Who do I credit for Rhonda being the way she is. Her psycho mom. Do I love answering my own questions? Oh Hell yes!
lmao!
If I acted the the she has I'd be ashamed to watch too! Minesha has more class in her little finger than Rhonda will ever have. She's a good fighter but such a head case!!!
Nick diaz and ronda rousey, my two favorite mma fighters.. they needa have a baby so that baby can grow up and become the GOAT.
Ronda is so authentic! From what I have seen she does not put on a show or changes for anyone. She is simply better than all of her opponents. :)
Ronda is going to rip tates arm off and throw it at her corner.
Miesha looks in great shape when not fighting, but Ronda blows up...I mean look how big her face has gotten, looks like the face of BJ Penn lol and she seriously needs humbling, a loss will do that
This chick is the real deal. She makes her own path, writes her own story, and lives her own life.
Ronda "One Trick" Rousey
Rousey needs to learn how to talk properly, can't understand half of what she says.
What can I say? I love a bad girl Go Ronda!!
Me too I love bad guy’s bad girls
Bad Girl got her ass kicked to being a UA-camr XD
These people overreact to everything. They fight over immature things all the time, it's just that, Ronda's intention is to give the fight publicity, and maybe get in her rival's head a little bit. Her technique seems immature, but clearly it works. What's immature is how her opponents respond.
Miesha is gorgeous smart and a fighter compared non fighter Rousey. God bless tate holm and Nunes
When there's genuine beef between fighters, it's entertaining and sure, birds get flipped and shit gets said.
Rousey just flipping Tate off because she wasnt getting intimidated is just childish. Ronda does seem like a spoilt kid.
I totally agree. and meisha has such an awesome personality. ronda is such a bratty little twat. I want ronda fighting cris cyborg! she would get SMASHED. steroids or not, shes amazing.
Ronda is brilliant. A true champion.
Can't wait for this fight
I'm glad all of you guys are finally coming around.
cyborg would kick the shit out ronda. I want that to happen so bad.
I have never gone from not knowing a person,to becoming a big fan of that person,to completely disliking a person as quickly as I have Rhonda Rousey.
Wow! I'm Armenian and I am very interested to know what Miesha Tate said.
Love you Ronda.
I feel the same... Rhonda lucked out... Out of all the women I've seen grace the octagon... I think the only ones who would give Rhonda trouble are Zingano, McMann, Cyborg and Carano... So the only two we could definitively look forward to doing that right now is McMann or Zingano.
ive never ever seen her sooo emotional
Ever since the last Miesha fight, Ronda's personality has changed drastically.
She DOES! and it is AMAZING! Fa Reals...
I hope Rousey loses. The only way she wins is with a arm bar. I think Tate will be ready this time.
Rhonda is a righter. Hope all you want. Rhonda will win AGAIN
Just because Miesha is ready doesn't mean she can stop it lol.
maoribrotha53 right!!! miesha also thought she was ready last time....#teamrousey
I fully agree with you, and I just can put my finger on what it is about them that leaves me unable to become fans of them either..
Guys I hate to break it to you, but what Ronda is doing is something that most fighters do. They trash talk, they disrespect other fighters, that's just the nature of the beast. The only fighter who was ever consistently respectful to their opponents was Randy Couture. So if you have a beef with Ronda and all her trash talking, that is what fighters do, so get over it.
Ronda is a nice person. I've seen the fun side of her in videos with Uriah Hall and her friend just goofin around. She has a temper. She did judo FOR YEARS. and she's gotta put a barrier because of all the BS that's she been through. SHE'S THE FIRST WOMAN'S UFC CHAMPION. It's not gonna be all bell and whistles and she is a large part of the UFC gaining so much attention. She's done a lot for women fighters and building the image that yes you can be the most baddass women on the planet.
I'd like to see Rhonda's chin get really tested. I know once it goes to the ground it's going to be tough for Tate, but in the first fight Tate didn't do too bad she just got caught. I agree, anything can happen in MMA. Either way it will be a good fight to watch.
i did too, when i was younger. my parents told me it was "flipped" at a very young age
Where are all these Rousey haters coming from? Rousey is gorgeous, a legit fighter, and a proven winner. She's going to continue to dominate until someone learns their game as well as Rousey knows the judo game (or gets a lucky punch in.)
Tate will never be able to beat this chick, until she/Tate "gets it." Ronda "gets it."
i'm glad to hear that my friend, i have my opinions you have yours. i just get frustrated when i see people thinking they know someone as a person when all you see is them in the mma world, i also feel like when men do things like this everyone freaks out and gets exited,then when the women do it everyone is like "oh you went to far,you classless bitch",double standards i suppose :)
Tack för att du rättade mig, ibland blir det så fel när man skriver :)
This controversy no longer makes sense, Miesha is in his things and Ronda in other things. After so long it is absurd to look for guilt.
I believe that both deserve the best, and that is what I wish them both.
I prefer my fighters more humble...she just doesn't come off like that. Take note from GSP. People may not like him, but he is very humble and a great champ. Doesn't underestimate anyone based on his success level. Anyway, I think I need to see more fighting dimensions from her before I become a fan.
I used to love her cause she was so humble but now she's a little bit annoying. I just realized a girl with class despite of physical attributes are more attractive than someone who is rude.
The internet trolls are coming strong from their mom's basement! They're always so tough, confident and full of sexual prowess.
I feel like Ronda is already making excuses for the way she is going to come off on the show.
hahahah 3:13 shes very impressed with her metaphor!
@2:15 sounded like she was going to cry like her voice broke like ready to burst out crying
Guys relax, Ronda's just acting, i feel behind close doors she's a nice person and takes great pride in the sport. Miesha is acting too, she wants to come off as a classy girl, but i personally feel she's isn't, especially when she lost to kat and disrepected her in thier fight. Hope ronda shuts herdown permanelty.
thanks for your opinion.
They are fighters not diplomats. As far as Ronda keep fighting as she has in all her fights, I will not judge her for the attitude off the octagon.
Whats with all the Rousey hate? Im so confused. Eh whatever, I think shes an amazing fighter, with probably one of the most remarkable runs so far in her mma career. While I dont see Tate as being able to do much of anything to Rousey, win or lose, Im always going to enjoy watching her fight, even just so I can see amazing judo that is very lacking in mma.

Once she loses, whenever that may be, all this will go away.
better late than never. one of us! one of us!
No shit. But it's not the same title. Based on your statement, everyone who was a Strikeforce Champion became the champ in the UFC once it merged.
Go ahead and give me a thousand dislikes but i don't know why yall are hatin on ronda rousey she is the ufc champ . . . WINNERS ARE WINNERS and LOSERS ARE LOSERS, look ali wasn't always the most liked champion, neither was tyson, floyd mayweather, or most of the greatest fighters than have ever fought in either a cage or a ring so why hate just appreciate the skill and stop complaining!!!!!!!
Ok People She is "THE SHIT" All these people need to know that ronda is a great fighter. She is the shit and she can back it up!
At first, I was thinking the same thing, but I am giving Ronda the benefit of the doubt and like to think it's all an act. I'd like to think she is still a genuine, respectful, articulate champion like her mother. Not a, up herself jack ass like Nick Diaz.

Don't form opinions about fighters based on TUF. I'm not saying she isn't annoying at times, but I'm sure they both aren't as bad as they are perceived from MMA fans.
TUF cut scenes/edit film to make some fighters look bad or good, whatever will get more ratings. Don't be a hater!
Simplemente profecional
Is there a show specifically for women's MMA? Are women's matches shown on tv? Spike, ESPN, or FSN?
proverb 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. I said this with silva and I predict it now with ronda.
I agree. If a girl is tough she shouldn't have to exploit it, she should exude it.
People don't like Ronda and like Tate. IMO Ronda is being a real nigga and Tate is putting up an image that people are falling for.
i wouldnt mind that
Miesha Tate has proven to herself quite a few times since the weigh in before her loss to Rousey not to be in Rousey's league. She's a decent fighter but not as good as Rousey AND she doesn't have the character worthy of championship status.
If you mean Miesha Tate, you're damn right. If you're referring to Rousey, you might want to go all the way back to Strikeforce and the events surrounding Rousey's matchup against Tate for the women's bantamweight belt leading up to March 2012.
When you choose to do so, and you see what Tate had to say about Rousey back then and vice versa; I'm certain you'll change your views about Tate.
And on Rousey flipping off Tate at one of the UFC press conferences back in July 2013, Tate deserved that.
After have seen their last fight Meisha definately have the advantage on their feet....she needs to keep the bout standing not grappler with this bitch otherwise it will ends like it did last fight...
To be honest there's no disagreement. I think everyone pretty much feels the same about the Rousey Tate situation. Ronda is overdramatic and Tate is a shit stirrer. We all know what the fight is gonna be like, but we just want to see the TUF season because we like watching people who hate each other.
Good answers Rhonda, this dude who interviewed you seems to offer everybody he interviews a fair opportunity for each person interviewed to speak their minds.
I note there are still those loser lounge-room comment critics who can't do much other than sling their dumb-arse crap-talk.
Stay feisty mean and strong Rhonda.
I think everybody is hating on Rousey because she's acting like a bitch etc etc.
When really she's just 100% honest and upfront with everything and everyone and people aren't comfortable with that.
If she doesn't like you, she's not going to pretend to. Its that simple.
She's being herself and thats rare for people these days.
That being said, I want Tate to win.
I just think its unfair that Rousey is getting so much hate
I personally think she is just trying to promote the show..... nothing promotes and attracts viewers than rivalries..... is it any coincidence that there seems to be some beef with EVERY single coach on that show? I think Liddell vs Couture were the only 2 I can think of that didn't have a problem with one another.
The UFC is turning into the WWE....
She doesn't know that Dana had already mentioned why she thought she'd be replaced!
True dat. And Edward the "trainer" was a coward. He asks a guy if he wants to "go right now" and when the guy says "sure lets go right now" Edward changes his mind and says "oh you want me to get kicked off the show thats why you are calling me out" even though he did the initial call out, and has to have Rhonda jump in and save him. Sad fuck.
Hey, they're fighters. Not everyone can be Randy Couture and be respectful to all the others. They get in eachother's face, talk all the trash, and develop a massive hatred for eachother. That's just how it goes. Not to mention, the bad attitudes get all the ratings.
she trys to act like nick diaz
.Diaz-Penn (headbutt) ,Ronda-Miesha (headbuut)
Diaz-Shemrock (flip off) Ronda-Miesha (flip off)
He probably sad to her "just act like me and you"ll be rich"
Who wouldnt?
yes saying Ronda is jealous of her and caraway even though he threatened to knock her teeth out is professional. did you even listen to the interview she said something happened on tuf and she cant talk about it until that episode comes out. If you go and watch previous interviews from the last 20 months since the rivalry started you will find Miesha is nowhere near professional and contradicts herself all the time whereas Ronda always tells it as it is.
Damn how peoples perception of her is changing so quickly...
I'd rather support Ronda's over dramatic personality than a snake in a grass type of a person who shouldn't even be there in the first place if not for a freak injury.
she is fine, just been spending too much time in gyms, reading a book once in a while might help
I dont care about trash talking.. Doesnt make me more interested. Id rather see her fight cat. Trash talk might interest a casual fan but real fans are excited for good fights like jds vs valasquez.. You know good fighters that dont need to talk to hype a fight. And i dont see this as a challenge for ronda. I think the bones card also with 2 title fight will have better fights
lmao....Ronda cant get over the fact that she is champion but female fighters like Tate and Kaufaman have WAY more fans.
so happy she did TUF, her and her team are exposed.
She almost, I mean really close to almost DIDN'T keep winning. Her time with her one trick is running out. Her bad girl persona has everything to do with keeping or losing fans.
Miesha would have been the UFC title holder if she hadn't lost to Ronda, it was a fight for the title, and Miesha was defending it in a sense since she was the Strikeforce Champ and Rousey a nobody.
Wouldn't say a lot of the men. But I would agree that it is entertaining. But not better than the male fights. And yes some female fights were better than some male fights. At the end of the day it comes down to individuals and how you define a good fight. What I am trying to say it like comparing oranges with apples there is no point its just different.
Shes been the same since day one, of not maybe better. Even if she was trying to act touch, she has all the room in the world as long as she keeps winning
I think that Ronda is not aware of that she won't be always on top! she's smartass!
This stuff is excellent for Ariel the Instigator TM (c) :)
Damn. Why the fuck are ppl hating on Rhonda first of all being like nick Diaz is awesome. She is actually acting natural hence not trying to control how she is being perceived. None of the awkwardness of Jon jones none of the boring scripted answers you get from other fighters.
Which is why she's undefeated and the women's 135 pound champ, right?
unfortunately ...rondas personality ,good or bad, is perfect for womens mma right now
she just the spark plug they need to push them in to the spotlight
Tate has handled herself professionally with maturity and dignity , Rousey has no class at all, hanging out with the Diaz brothers too much i think.
They're both frontin'. Tate was all sweetheart before the Zingano fight. And when she lost to Zingano, she was cussing up a storm about the fight being stopped early, and whining about how things turned out. Ronda has always been obnoxious. That shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. Ronda and trash talk go together like bacon and eggs. I say just sit back and enjoy the show.
The Diaz brothers are genuinely classless and disrespectful. With Ronda it feels like she is acting this way because she thinks it's cool.
