Ronda Rousey's fall to grace
If you're a fan of mixed martial arts, you've probably noticed Ronda Rousey's fall. This former UFC champion is facing crossfire on the Internet and has had her career derailed by too many outside interests. Her descent from grace has been as swift and furious, in fact, as her rise. Rousey, who is regarded as one of the greatest fighters in the world has been a target of skeptics. She's largely blamed for her fall from grace, but she has been open and honest about her own losses.
Rousey didn't announce her retirement publicly, but she already has a changed of face and fought under Amanda Nunes. At UFC 207, she gave a generic apology to her fans and said that she would look into retiring from mixed-martial arts. Rousey is yet to announce her retirement but many are worried that she won’t be making a comeback soon.
Miesha Tate's way of encouraging fight is to "tell it as she sees".
When Miesha Tate was promoting the fight for her second title shot against Ronda Rousey, she decided to be more blunt. She got a little mean and showed the challenger everything she had. That was not just selling the fight; it was also marking territory.
The MMA scene is a completely different place. Ronda Rousey is the women's bantamweight champ. She is an Olympic gold medalist and has been likened to Strikeforce and UFC champ Miesha Tate. She is also a former MMA fighter and her "telling it like it is" style has received a lot of attention.
