Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED
/ undisputedonfs1 - Спорт
I love hearing mma expertise from an actor and a retired football player.
Exactly haha. She took LOTS of punches. It's more mental and poor punch 'defence' that did her in.
Poopius Butticus everyone has an opinion anyway so what
Poopius Butticus yup well listening to to Florian ,Cormier, Cruz all sounds the same.there all wrong half the time
true but they still make a solid point.
picker 22 Luke Thomas is one of the best analysts and his take on the fight is really the only objective deconstruction of the fight that I've seen so far.
Remember when Skip said Ronda would hurt Floyd in a boxing match lol
Right😲
I do not, that's funny.
"She didn't evolve, the sport evolved." - nailed it!
Ray Rices wife lasted longer in that elevator, than Ronda Rousey did in the Cage with Amanda Nunes.
W
YESSS!!!!
christian Long L O freaking L
christian Long 😂😂😂 and ray was actually throwing punches too
You win.
Damn, here I was contemplating and asking myself all this time what does Rapaport think on the subject, Where is Rapaport??? Somebody please get Rapaport!!! Oh, thanks Undisputed you guys are the best.
Is this a Ja Rule joke?
Terry Quintero where is Ja?? Where is Ja Rule?!?! What does he think about this?
I want some answers that Ja Rule might not have right now.
You know he has his own podcast right
WHEEERE IS JAAAAAAAA...
She can't box skip? Really? So why did u say she could beat up Floyd may weather 1 on 1
He hates floyd lol. He says the same thing about conor
GREAT COMMENT!
Skip deep down thinks he could beat Floyd Mayweather in a streetfight.
Daniel carter he could lmao conor gets floyd to the ground and its over. We're strictly talking about boxing. Floyd would get annihilated if he fought conor in the street.
I meant Skip thinks that Skip himself could personally beat Mayweather in a street fight.
They should have talk about the fact that Ronda got paid 3 millions and Amanda, the champion, got 200.000?? like WTF!
by they way Ronda need to focus on boxing and a new coach
Yup, it's disgusting. Amanda should have gotten 1 mill or 2 mill, she won after all.
Gaim Kore I thought Nunes got only 100,000
That's because no one bought the fight to see Amanda.
Gaim Kore - people don't pay to see Nunes. It's like being surprised that Tom Cruz got 5 million while the new actor on set getting 300k. How dumb are you dude?
Gina Carano was first. Not Ronda Rousey.
and she was such a better person......too bad she got her clock cleaned by roided up cyborg
lol. WAAAAAY hotter.
not to mention tougher than rousey . and yes waaay hotter.
Waaaaaaaaaaay hotter - lol
blazingly hot!
so don't nobody remember Gina Carano she just wasn't blonde hair and blue eyes wrong type of white girl
Derrick Webster Gina Carano was way before Rhonda and no one acts like she wasn't awesome
syanide27 I was just responding to them saying Ronda Rousey was the first to do it when she wasn't and they actually fought around the same time just different weight divisions because if you recall cyborg was the one who whooped her
Derrick Webster first in Ufc
True!!!!Ronda was just at the right place at the right time. Gina is also better looking. At least she's getting her props, doing movies.
***** correctamundo
She can take a punch, Amanda hits like a truck and she punched her at least 15 times.
She isn't supposed to be taking face punches, especially not 5 to the face from someone like Nunez. She should've been bobing and weaving.
Ronda has a chin, that's why she didn't go down, but she can't take a punch, the first punch mentally broke her
She would have gone down if not for hanging on the cage.
folgar grimm she would have been ko if the ref didn't stop the fight bro.
mentally, like when you do something and you fail, the first thing some people do is "ok its over", other people " ok lets go again".
the rousey girl gives up thats it
Shannon: you wanted her to get beat worse?
😂😂😂😂😂
I did
but skyp I thought rousey can beat Floyd and now she can't take a punch so how the heck is she going to fight a boxer on top of the game for over 20 years😂😂😂😂😂
That was a joke that white people tried to run with.
MrThekidisback
Lol facts
Corto Maltes lol oh how quickly they forget.
Xavier Vision word lol
Corto it looked like Ronda threw the fight.
I agree with everything except the stoppage part. She was in deep trouble...
exactly. So him saying the fight got stopped too early is very off. Should've been stopped sooner if anything. She seemed helpless in there.
Umar Javed the stoppage was perfect.
***** i know i agree. I am saying I don't agree with Rapport saying it was too early.
Umar Javed i agree, Ronda was clearly out on her feet and the ref saved her
I agree with you guys. And for Rapaport to say white girl privledge about the stoppage is obsurd and irresponcible. Tell white girl privelage to Miesha Tate after having her arm snapped by a Rousey arm bar before finally submitting. Honestly I have trouble seeing that finish.
Gina Carano started this all... Then she quite to do movies and Rhonda took over. It all started with cute Gina.. and she had a better attitude about fighting. Man I miss her :)
Ricky J Sports Facts bro
Ricky J Sports Yes thanks for bringing her up..The God Mother of MMA..I use to call off work to watch Gina fight..lol.. Cyborg was to Gina what Holly Homs is to Rhonda. Sad watching all good things come to a end. Can't cheat getting old
5..4..3..2..1.. ARE YOU LISTENING!? you can't hide ricky lol
Ricky J Sports her name is rhondah you idiot.
In a interview years ago Rhonda was dissing Gina for making movies and leaving the sport after she got beat. I'd be damn if Rhonda didn't do the same thing so far..Love both of them. American muscle
Amazing how quickly everyone forgot about Gina Carano, Ronda was just first to make it big in the UFC. Gina was the first to make it big in MMA and transcend outside the sport.
Ronda: So all I have to do is get beat up and you'll give me $3 million? Where do I sign!
Gary W-l-o-t Ask Vince McMahon, had Lesnar lose in 1min 26 secs and gets paid $8 million
Gary W-l-o-t 😂😂
One123 And it was to a 50 year old with a bad shoulder.
good stoppage to me Rapaport!!!
Willie Hunter he don't know wtf he is talking about lol
Liam Quiroga he really dont😂😂😂
In fact a near perfect stoppage. Herb did excellent.
i think it was a little too early, if you watch ronda she was a little surprised it was stopped, and wanted to continue getting hit
***** Nahh watch the fight again for the final seconds and you will see what Herb saw in such a heated moment.
Ronda was already hakf out and dazed, her hands were not doing any actual defence, her legs were like spaghetti and if you look closely Amanda was actually about to clip her with another dangerous combi before herb got in.
Getting knocked out takes a huge toll in a fighter so it takes a good ref to recignise when its not worth it to continue a fight till a knock out.
refs are there to protect fighters when they are unable to do so themselves.. Which herb did perfectly.
i love tht black guy he's TO THE POINT and his references r spot on
Hemanko Kashyap btw he's a hof legend.. lol he has a name
Hemanko Kashyap his name is Stephen A Smith
What's that black guy's name?
oh ok thnks bro
Anton Chigurh Shannon sharpe he was an NFL great
Don't watch this if you want good mma analyst.
And don't read that comment if you want to see English used correctly.
Thank you, I love Mike, but I'm out of here, Skip screams too much, and neither "sportscaster" is an MMA fighter. Bye bye. (Felt differently a year ago, of course, when I'd listen to anyone speaking Eubonics about the UFC. Those days are gone.
Bigger problem is that she cant dodge the punch.
But Rappaport was saying she couldn't take a punch. She took a bunch of them and wasn't knocked out. TKO. Ronda sucks against strikers and everyone can see she's a no show against two of them. She didn't even try.
CommonCentsRob
I know that he said that, and I think that the bigger problem for Ronda is the dodgin. In that fight Nunes probably scored every punch that she threw. Maybe Ronda played that tough you cant KOme character, but thats no good.
Nunes scored almost 90% of her punches. 80 something. You're right. She had no defense and was basically a no-show to the fight. She was obviously not prepared and knew it coming into the fight. What Rappaport said was idiotic.
don makaveli you're right ✌
i think you misunderstood the meaning of what he said.
when people say, someone cant take a punch, it doesnt mean, they will be knocked out. it means, that that person doesnt know how to react when they are punched. and thats what happened here(as well as her last fight). she took a punch, and then the fight was pretty much over, because she got completely lost without knowing what to do!
that was one of the best standing TKO's I've ever seen. Great call by ref Herb Dean. She didnt fall down because she was holding the cage to stay up. The fight was clearly over.
When your defense is staying on your feet because you have no idea what's happening, the fight is clearly over, indeed.
That was him trying to be superwoke. He's also just an ignorant guy
Shannon is right she didn't adapt her game to keep herself on the upper level.
Rousey was the first? Are we really dismissing Gina Carano???
She didn't have near the level of exposure though, cus she retired before they put women in the ufc.
But She was far more skilled than Ronda.
prettycoolPJ
they're talking about ufc. When she was on top. Ufc didn't have a woman's division. ufc is the biggest mma company. She would had been a bigger mma star if she fought in the ufc.
But everybody knows who Ronda is,nobody has a clue who this gina carano is
Nonya Biddness No she's not.
"You're the man Skip!!" - Skip Bayless
Michael Rappaport is a real one... He never holds any punches back... "Blonde hair, blue eyes, and the white privilege." 😂
None of these people can see that Ronda had no idea of how to duck punches, every one of those shots landed directly in her face, and she was still standing! She needs a new trainer, a boxer to teach her how to slip punches!
Exactly. The question should be, who lied to her? Her coaches for one, but more importantly, she lied to herself thinking she could stand with Nunes.
this is not boxing, go back there idiot.
Ive been saying this, the sport is constantly evolving and the overall talent level has increased. All Rousey could ever do was armbars and judo, her game didn't grow like the sport did.
there was many women fighting MMA in Strikeforce she was the first woman to fight in the UFC...
and just because she was the first woman to fight in the UFC they made her out to be this undefeated dominating Super Star what about Gina Carano she was a superstar of Strikeforce beautiful undefeated but was humble in defeat when cyborg destroyed her and let's keep it real Ronda Rousey is no Gina Carano
100% agree.
Rousey has a far superior record to Carano
Alina Garofalo agreed. absolutely love Gina
gee dee but Gina was way hotter! I love me some boobie black hair girl.... Yummy hehe
Alina Garofalo - truth
Did Skip even watch Rousey-Holm?? Holly set up everything with her boxing and finished her with the kick.
Coach JG very true
She really thought she was a boxer people hyped her up to much but rappaport sounds like she killed his family
You can tell Nunes is about that life. I didn't even know about her story, but I got the impression she was from the slums.
Jess Blayze Duh all 3rd world countries fighters are because in fighting sports rich kids are not involved so that means an opportunity for them to get out of poverty
Mr. Daniel's I know.
Felipe Alves Silva good to know - thank you! She's dope!
but she is lesbian, and she has suffered because of that, also, like you said, she is from bahia, and for some reason, people in the rest of the country dont take that place serious(even when around 50-75% of all combat titles came from there).
You guys need to get Bill Burr on.
OldSport rapaport is cool but we know hes a poor mans bill burr
F.u. Entertainment KevGutta
Funny, but not even close.
Pure honesty from Michael.....
This guy hasn't got a clue what he is talking about and clearly never participated in combat sports. I am not a Rousey fan but that stoppage was not "white privilage!". Rousey was done, out on her feet and Herb Dean an extremely experienced ref stopped the fight at the perfect time despite some people wanting to see her get dropped. The Lineker, TJ comparison shows this guy doesn't know what he was looking at.
master of disaster they never stop other fighters this early
if that was a man the ref would not have called it that was woman privilege. if not white girl bro sorry
JonnyWiles no ways. she was getting battered. I've seen them stop it for less with men
The ref's job is to protect the fighters. He saw that Ronda could no longer protect herself, so it was his job to protect her.
This is not like the days of the gladiators where they fought to the death. The ref did what he was suppose to do.
I have seen fights where the ref let them fight too long and a fighter ended up dead or with serious injuries.
I think he meant Dana White privilege it was stopped slightly early but not a horrible stoppage at all.
3:27 kills me every single time lmao I love Shannon
So nobody here wants to touch on the obvious ... her boxing coach is a con man with a terrible track record for his students.
Dont eva disrespect the goat Sensei Tarvedyan!
You can only take someone so far no matter how good a coach you are......You can't place the blame solely on the coach, Rhonda is at fault for believing in her own hype
Nah the coach is trash even Travis Browne has gone from a top Heavyweight contender to absolute garbage since going to Edmond, if Rousey went to Jackson or one of the great coaches / teams she would actually improve
Jason Tyson Rousey needs to take a page from Rocky 2. Come back and surprise the world with a different style of fighting.
Don't forget Ellenberger. Lose lose .
I love me some Michael Rappaport
I don't know how people think Ronda was the first when Gina Carano blew up the girls division way before Ronda was even heard of.
Daniel John Dana was the reason.
Zack Hickey - wrong. Look it up, Dana said he'd never have a women's division. Ronda created the division, not Dana. He thanks her for that (making them millions)
spanky mcnugget well thats obvious, because rhonda had a bigger impact on the ufc. Gina paved the way for rhonda, and rhonda paved the way for everyone. She is the first to get paid like the boys and opened up doors for others. There will never be a bigger female ufc star than rhondA
Like Rocky said "It's not about how hard you hit, it's about how hard u can get hit and keep on going"
Gina carano, Gina carano. Ronda wasn't first.
Man this guy is raw with the truth.
Ronda needs to get better with boxing and kicking or retire
She is clueless. Her boxing gifs are a big laughing stock. You cannot suddenly "learn" all of that at the age of 30. These elite strikers have been doing it for 20+ years. She needs to retire otherwise, she will continue to make an a** out of herself.
maybe you are right
90S Eurodance, Eurohouse and Bubblegum LOL@ you thinking she can learn boxing in a couple of months. She spent a whole year learning boxing and sparring with an professional boxer. She still cannot box for sh*t. You guys are dellusional.
90S Eurodance, Eurohouse and Bubblegum only thing she is really missing is defense n counter attacks. After they miss u make them sorry for your counter attack. Two fights ago she was considered unbeatable but two good strikers beat her back to back. She needs better defense!!!
she needs to find something else to do
IMMEDIATELY after that fight ended I stood there in disbelief, wondering what just happened...Where do we go from here? How can we make sense of it all?....and then I said to myself, if I could somehow just get Michael Rapaport's opinion on this I might be able to start moving forward....well...you guys at Undisputed have heard the cry deep within my soul, and now because of you....I can truly find peace. Thank you.
You guys brought the heat on this one. Great job. Gonna watch your show more often.
skip is the worst making excuses with str8 up lies
People blame the coach but if she can't take a punch that is not coaching. She was not getting past those punches to get to grappling so while the coach can get a bit of blame but Ronda is soft. Can't coach that.
LoftyXsWaGX34 it is her coaches fault. He's led her to believe that she has a stand up game. Watch her shadow boxing, she looks extremely awkward. She was extremely hyped due to some of the girls she fought standing. But the truth is her boxing is not even mediocre, its poor. She should have had 1 or 2 fights before a title shot to get her confidence going.
LoftyXsWaGX34 You don't tell someone like Rousey to stand with a boxer.
True but doesn't she have to stand a bit in order to get the clinch? She can't just lay on the ground and wait for Nunez to stomp her out lol. I don't know all the details of fighting but I do know that if your done after one punch no coaching will help you
LoftyXsWaGX34 That's on the coach again because she needs to start learning how to shoot. and work the angles more. Another reason why people are getting on her coach is because before the fight he told her to stand up with Nunes.
Another reason why people are jumping on the coach is because they apparently didnt spar that often.
You heard her coach screaming and telling her to mive her head during the whole fight, but had he actaully let her spar against boxers, she could have learnt how to defend and move.
Lmao "u cant defeat an armbar, ur gonna b stuck". Skips funny asf
I really like what Sharpe did at around 0:18. A small detail, but that's classy. Probably didn't need to, seemed like he would've gotten it anyway, but just in case, didn't wanna leave him hanging.
Why is everyone saying Ronda is done..? Nunez is going to do the same to any fighter who doesnt have good enough striking. Tate realized that quickly.
Juliana Pena isn't a joke. Pena is Nunes best comp or Holly Holm IMO.
Slimkidd730 you sir deserve an award, i reappy thought i was the only one who could see that
Slimkidd730 Juliana may pose problems with her aggressive wrestling but will get lit up if she cant take Nunez down.
Pena is fighting Valentina Shevchenko who did really good against Nunez, won the last round and shifted momentum. A 5 round fight would have benefited her greatly. Holly Holm and Valentina are big threats to Nunez because of their striking experience. Ronda's striking defense doesn't come close to comparing to those two.
I think Holly Holm could probably ring Nunez' bell a few times. Holly knows how to throw those hands and feet. AND she knows how to get out of the way of a punch.
tayl0rd
Holms movement is top notch. THat would be her advantage. I like Pena because her aggression is just as strong as Nunes and plus she's gorgeous.
someone is heading to the WWE
skip is such a hypocrite!
Old guy had a good point, Rousey at those punches like a champ.
Not Nuñes, its Nunes. She is from Brazil and the eñe is not Portugese, its Spanish.
Ex0dus111 ....good to know...thanks
Sorry Skip but your not understanding what is meant by not being able to take a punch. Ronda can't take a punch, it wasn't a kick that Holly caught her with it was a punch. She never recovered just as she didn't from the first hard punch from Amanda. She cannot take a punch and has NO CLUE what to do when in trouble
Johnny Dwyer well I think it's more that she doesn't know how to avoid punches. she comes in with basic movement and no head movement
joey tribbiani you can't avoid being punched thoe. you gotta address the the problem of her chin.
Dro James if anyone hits you on the tip of the chin it can rock you. That's just anatomy
Rapaport is great actor fun to watch..
Really appreciate your show! You guys let each other speak and rarely interrupt and can professionally handle if someone disagrees. Not too many group chat shows can do that. Ie: I’ve tried to watch The View for example and every time I have to turn it off within 30 seconds as they just talk over each other and no one gets their point across.
What is next for Rousey?
UNDISPUTED ON FS1 nothing
Wwe
UNDISPUTED ON FS1 the way nunez used her face as a punching bag I would assume surgery
ebony harris lol
Terry Quintero lol
I ONLY AGREE ABOUT THEM TRASHING ROUSEY CAUSE SHE NEVER WAS A FIGHTER
Rapoport really showcased his boxing technique in this clip.
I disagree with Rappaport on the early stoppage. From the second Amanda started throwing punches it was clear that Ronda was outclassed in striking ability. She ate some big shots and didn't try to change her game plan. She just kept trying to stand with Amanda and the ref made not only the right call but saved Ronda from taking some extra damage.
WTF is this guy on about, amanda nunes could knock EVERYONE out let alone a girl who go headkicked in the neck and beatup for 5 rounds. The stoppage was perfect she was not defending herself and was senseless. I hate Ronda and am glad she lost, she ain't the best but give her some respect at least.
"She was the first lady that did combat?"
Gina Carano was practically in Ronda's shoes but at a time when women mma was not as mainstream.
Shannon Sharpe absolutely right.
Skip, You are the man!!! Love the new show on FS1!!!!
Martin Short's not getting any younger
lol !
Neither is Michael Rapaport.
1:23 That God damn jew just couldn't resist could he? He even smiles maniacally at 1:26.
he really hurt your feelings when he said that huh lmao
And Latinos are always trying to be white. Go figure.
KingCetshwayo
Well latinos seem to be taking over and they hate blacks so I guess you better start being nice to them.
***** No she isnt.
KingCetshwayo Rousey is Latina. Look it up.
Credit was : merciful rescue by Herb Dean.
Truth right here from the homie Michael Rapaport.
Rapaport is awesome.... .. Don't always agree with Shannon, but he brings it.. witty too.. and Skippy is ... well skippy
Michael Rapaport and Shannon Sharpe are wrong, Ronda beat Miesha Tate (2x's) Sara McMann, a silver Olympic wrestler and Cat Zigano, (Who has a win over Amanda Nunes)
MMA Math doesn't matter bro. Cat would have beat Ronda had she stayed calm and taken her time.
Maybe you missed the part where Shannon talks about the evolution of the fighter. Nunes may have a loss against someone that rousey beat, but she evolved, beat tate, beat rousey, and will probably beat at least one more competitor retaining the belt through 2017. Fire Herb Dean, worst ref in MMA history. Early stops, bad calls, bad ref from the beginning.
Barack Smith Miesha Tate is pretty good. I agree with what Shannon said. She didn't want to fight. Talking about Ronda. Ronda was literally walking into Nunez punches.
So true, love this report
Man does this Shannon talk sense ! Love this dude !
wth is that ladies job to just sit there and blink.
Lmao at people's logic...
ESPN- They never talk about Ronda rousey!!! protecting her image
Fox sports-(talk about ronda) - What do they know!!!!!!!! they need to shut up.
😂👍
This is probably the smartest thing Rapaport has ever said
Have any of these people ever competed in mma, jiu-jitsu, boxing, wrestling etc etc? Gotta love people with no experience just talking
Rapaport wanted her to die in there lol ... She was completely defenseless, any ref in MMA or boxing would've stopped that fight, even Mazzagatti.
Rousey can't box/move her head and was rocked by Holm and Nunes who could box very well
"What strength! But don't forget there are fighters like you all over the world"
Fighting is easier said than done. I'm not a Rousey fan but hearing these people who have never put it all on the line fighting in front of millions of people is rediculous. Anyone who steps in the octagon to compete at a high level deserve respect. At the end of the day Ronda has made millions and all those hating on her have made pennies.
The white guy is speaking truth
Michael Rapaport speaks a lot of truth...she was white America's hero, no she's white America's zero
xavier wilson Who Rapaport? He is an idiot.
EDM SQUAD iTrap iTrance iElectro iChill stop making it "oh cuz she white" just stop. her being white has very very little to do with it.
Jews don't consider themselves "white" they have Middle Eastern heritage and light skin.
HipHop Anonymous Mark Zuckerberg looks white to me. He damn sure does not look like an Egyptian.
Hey Rhonda, Expendables 4 called...oh no wait...they hung up.
OMG!!! THANK YOU!!!
Preach Michael Preach!!!
I love when hype is exposed.
Ronda took a lot of punches to the face and is pretty tough. Problem is too many punches to the face.
True. and not knowing how to defend herself.
And the kick to the head.....
That was a good stoppage. She doesn't need brain damage. It was very clear she was outmatched and quite soundly defeated.
What Michael doesn't realize is no UFC fighter has a ton of fights under their belt. The amount typically is in the 20 to 30 match range. In fact Frank Mir's career began in 2001 and he has only fought in 29 total matches. Another legend, Tito Ortiz began in 1997 and in a career spanning 20 years he fought a total of 32 matches.
these guys really need to stop talking about mma
ham wallet why?
Uncensored Truth lack of knowledge. At least get one MMA expert in the discussion. This is basically Joe shmoe analysis at the bar.
Alex G I did not know you had to have at least one expert to give your opinion on mma. 🤔
Uncensored Truth you don't need one if you want generalized reductionist opinions.
the chocolate man knew his stuff,the others are twits
She should have rushed her and got her on the ground when she would be in charge, and she could've maybe won the fight
So right. SO right!
Michael. Damn this guy! :)
why Is this guy always on talk shows? ESPN with Rachel now, this show. this dude is not funny.
Reason over Dogma I think he's hilarious!
Reason over Dogma he must be doing something right
Joseph Carter he knows the right people. That's it. Loved him on Boston public though.
Reason over Dogma That guy spits the unbiased truth!
Cause he plays the race card well
Ronda wasn't first. Gina carrano was around before her
Gina was/is a hottie. i don't even consider ronda as pretty.
RING IQ BOXING TALK yeah her and cyborg.
We are talking UFC here..
I LOVE THIS!
She didn't need to go down she was standing up completely knocked out cold she just was still standing she had no idea where she was
just like on first take they put a hot chick in the middle just to make an intro that gives no input.
I like Rapaport especially many of his movies. But he is totally offbase saying Rousey cant take a punch. If she was hit with one punch and got ko'd then she couldnt take a punch. But she was hit with about 20 punches from a Amanda Nunes who is a power puncher. Many right at the end of her punches which is devasting. It is funny guys sitting in a studio who have never experienced getting hit like that can say she cant take a punch.
@Tom Barry - "If she was hit with one punch and got ko'd then she couldnt take a punch". So you're saying Jose Aldo can't take a punch? Taking a punch doesn't necessarily mean getting knocked out. Getting hit hard and then MENTALLY quitting is what he means by "can't take a punch".
joeashbubemma im not saying jose aldo cant take a punch. Im saying rousey can take a punch. And for people to judge who have never been hit like that is ridicoulos. Miesha Tate predicted this would happen. She said she was stunned at Nunes power and range. knowing now how hard Amanda Nunes hits.
What they mean is as a fighter you have to be able to take a punch and still think rationally, Ronda can't, when she takes a hard punch she has like a blackout and isn't able to think normally anymore.
Cesar Almeida that is true to a point. But when hit by a power puncher the human brain gets concused and the cant think straight. Like what used to happen to Mike Tyson's opponents early in his career.
Tom Barry Okay in the Nunes fight i can accept it but Holly his a good striker but not very powerfull, and still, Ronda had no clue to what to do.
It's a common known fact that Ronda don't spar...how should se learn how to react if she don't knows how it feels to be punched in the nose. MMA fighters that come from a wrestling, judo etc backgroung have to spar alot to learn how to react to punches.
Ronda has a lot to change in her life, and the personal side of it reflects her in cage performance as well as public image/character. Will she make those changes? If she gains the strength to address her huge flaws behavior wise it would be interesting to see. Do I think she can defeat the top fighters in the division? Possibly with a great strategy, but the striking may always be her downfall, and the strength department is something it seems she is behind in ironically as she was seemingly the strongest woman in a long time in the division. Schevchenko, Nunes, and then the others who will not do everything in their power to keep it standing so the grappling part is negated would again put her at a disadvantage to where she most likely will not come out on top. If she addresses those issues a comeback would be interesting to see. I can't imagine at this point as stubborn as she's chosen to be all along, she would still feel propelled to have Taverdyan as her main striking coach if not outright only coach smh to both scenarios. If she chose to be stubborn once again even with a change to everything she does to prepare for a fight, or fight for her literal life as it would be the next time, I can see her publicly keeping Taverdyan only to not be supposedly not proven completely wrong even though any legitimate if any training would be done with him. I see a hush-hush paying of him, but no training whatsoever done to with him, and things will get out and her character flaw will be brought up despite finally doing the correct thing and that is getting away from a suppose coach at this point, but at a bare minimum terrible one everyone at this moment can acknowledge.
