Literally nobody thought she could beat Mayweather in a boxing match dude.

Some felt she could get him onto the ground in a fight though.

Raphael Palmero deserves mention as soon as he failed the test. Sure fire HOF to not even wanted in the game

Manny Rameriz on a lesser scale

That finger wag did him in....he was such a complete player too. Guys like Bonds & him didn't need to do PED's to be great, I'll never understand it

I think Anderson Silva just got old. He had been dominating for what, six years? Once those amazing reflexes deteriorated, he didn't have a chance vs top competition.


And, you know, that time he snapped his leg kicking a dude in the ring.

This wasn't all ronda's fault

Her trainer Edmond is terrible bc of that she never had a chance to evolve her skills.

She was a one dimensional fighter (world class judo skills) she relied on that and getting under her opponents skin.

Any good striker can humble Ronda

Which is still absurd. You have the pound for pound best mens boxer in the world. Who in their right mind would thin she would win a fight in any format? The quickness that he has she would never touch him. Hes a snoozer to watch but you dont get where hes gotten by accident.

all American

World found out that he molested his cousin when he was 15

No team touched him in the draft and presumably kicked off the team

NOPE... Collins from LSU was projected as A top 20 pick and some stupid murder of A FORMER GF of him came to light right before the draft... It Cost him MILLIONS... Yet the BRPD acts like its not their fault..........

Collins got picked as a free agent.

The pedo isn't being picked up by a MLB team

I liked her at one time and think she was cute sometimes, but she had it coming with karma, she became incredibly arrogant.

I always hated her. Her arrogance and attitude was so annoying. I'm really happy she isn't in the public eye anymore

Ronda is the exact reason why Conor takes the fight with any rules that Floyd wanted to make it happen. Make the money while you can - you never know when your window is closing.

I don't like McGoober but he's a much better fighter than she ever was. Rousey benefited from a shallow talent pool and her striking "defense" somehow got worse between the Holm and Nunes fights.

Ugh, no thanks.

What happened to Gina Carano, she was far better looking than Rousey.

And Rousey isn't going anywhere from the public eye. She's staring with Wahlberg in an upcoming movie directed by Peter Berg (Patriots Day, Collateral, Deep Water Horizon, Friday Night Lights.)

Rousey is so mentally weak too and I was honestly worried about her committing suicide after the Nunes fight. GSP and Conor were right back in the cage within 3 months after they suffered embarrassing losses but she didn't even show her face for like 6 months.

She was a fraud that got exposed.

She was an above average fighter in a sport that was about as deep as a thimble.

The media pumped her up like she was some sort of once in a generation super fighter. The entire thing was a charade.

Only recent male I can think of that was all headline, hype and arrogance more than Rousey is Manziel. If not for family money at this point, his next headline would be as a suspect in a liquor store robbery.
