re: Has there ever been a fall from grace quite like that of Ronda Rousey?

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

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

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.

Only goofballs thought she was anywhere close to how she was hyped.

This is one of the dumbest threads in the history of TD. Someone falls from grace every few years, Paterno, Woods, Armstrong etc.

Sonny liston. Heavyweight world champ had knocked out patterson in round one.
Lost to cassius clay twice.

Um, shouldn't a fall from grace involve serious off the field/outside the ring issues?
She just got knocked off the top like every other athlete who's been at the top. Wasn't even the biggest decline in results.

The fall from Ronda isn't really that great...I mean, it's MMA...the margin between winning and losing is razor-thin...all it takes is one tiny mistake.
It's not like a 12-round fight...it's a flash and hell you can slip and be done.
But the hyperbole was so great...that it feels like a massive fall.
Remember this ridiculous Sports Illustrated cover:

Tyson's was the most complete. He was the last real boxing superstar. Boxing's decline in popularity mirrored Tyson's own fall. I was a young kid in the early 90's so you'd think the biggest sports figure I'd remember would be Michael Jordan but I think for a short while Tyson was actually bigger.
