Ronda Rousey releases statement following UFC 207 loss to Amanda Nunes

These facts seemingly answered my questions more effectively than Rousey’s bitter verbal responses.

Like UFC president Dana White said over the weekend, Rousey was not as crushed following this loss as she was after Holm. “She built this whole thing”. I don’t know why he did that.

“But he put some insane thing about her boxing and then her career started like going down”. Experts expected her to beat Sarah Kaufman in an August 2012 title defense, but when it came so easy and just like all the others – an armbar in 54 seconds – it opened eyes.

Shortly before Rousey suffered her first loss last November against Holly Holm, De Mars called Tarverdyan “a awful coach”. “It was the death – and she had said – of who she wanted to be and what she wanted to be”.

Rousey was utterly annihilated by Nunes in her first fight in 13 months.

Formerly labeled as invincible, the baddest woman on the planet no longer has an unstoppable legacy train chugging along. She believes her opponent was over pressured from the stress accumulated from her first loss, her acting career and a number of outside-the-cage responsibilities. She went on to explain that daughter has a lot more talent to offer including starring in movies, writing, producing. By the second round, Rousey was a different fighter than we’d ever seen her.

Ari Emmanuel and co. better get on the phone to him pronto if they want to start recouping the $4.2billion they splashed out to buy the promotion.

“You’re smart and attractive”, she said of her daughter. She helped bring MMA and the UFC to a new level during her dominant title reign and that accomplishment can not be overstated. If you can believe it, it turns out that bum-rushing a pissed off Russian covered in prison tattoos isn’t exactly a winning strategy, and 11 seconds later, Thompson was sent into a shadow realm from which his career would never recover. “Sorry stupid people. I think she’s an adult and she can make her own decisions”.

As far as her next career move is concerned, Rousey has left it up in the air, as she intends to take some time and mull things over. “I truly think it’s 50-50 right now”.

Matchmaker Joe Silva announced his retirement earlier this year and remained in his role through UFC 207, where longtime play-by-play voice Mike Goldberg called the action for the final time. However, she didn’t offer any hints whether she would be retiring soon amid speculations that her recent fight could be her last.

With Rousey on the brink of retirement, the burden of driving the UFC forward in 2017 rests exclusively upon McGregor’s shoulders, and the promotion’s new owners – WME-IMG – must act swiftly to keep him sweet. Sean Shelby has been promoted into Silva’s role.
