Out on her feet before she ever got hit…..
I think that some competitors need to believe in themselves to the point of delusion. If that's that the thing that lets her walk into the cage with someone looking to beat her unconscious... that's cool with me.
Whether it's Ronda, GSP, Mir, Nick Diaz... the psychology of some of the greatest ever is usually a mess.
I wouldn't disagree with most entertaining. ALL of her fights were super exciting. Can't say that for all but a few fighters.
Really??? about what? her life ducking one fighter and getting crushed by two others? then her "journey" through depression and ending up on a declining "sport" soap opera working for a sexual predator? Ghost written by whom??? there is plenty of actual good literature... who is gonna read that???It's a book tour.
"Once ever in a lifetime athlete."
You are kidding right...
It IS a well known fact that she destroyed multiple boxing champions (both male & female) in sparring with simple body shots. So, she's not that far off.
lol Gina Carano would crush her in 2 seconds
She's not addressing her losses. She's making irrelevant and clearly ridiculous excuses like "I slipped on some stairs and had a concussion going into the Holm fight, and I had a bad mouth guard, and a bad weight cut." Addressing her losses would be saying something honest like, "Once I was unable to clinch with Holm, she got the better of me in the standup."
BullshitEh, they weren't that exciting, other than when she was getting laid out. There are a ton of male fighters who are way more exciting than she ever was.
Dickless McGeeGuess the quote
"There's a lot of guys her size she could beat, I mean, a lot. If you took the roster of the UFC's bantamweights, 135 pounds, and you paired them up against Ronda Rousey, she might be able to beat 50 percent of them. That's not a joke"
along with her furniturelol Gina Carano would crush her in 2 seconds
I agree. It made him successful, but also neurotic. He arguably could have finished more fights too. But he also could have lost more often, so hard to find too much fault in his approach.GSP's mindset may have been good for his career, but a guy who's obsessing over how scared he is (and justifiably so), is absolutely not in a great headspace.
Fear and anxiety made him cautious and caution made him dominant, but it probably wasn't a great head space to live in for months at a time.
