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

Let's give it some time. You never know how this could end. It reminds me of George Foreman. After the Fraiser fight he seemed unstoppable. Ali got in his head and he was not the same in the ring until he stepped away for years (I recall him flailing around like an amateur after that Ali fight, though my recollection may be faulty). He did beat Ron Lyles but was knocked down twice and then lost a decision to Jimmy Young and looked bad doing it.

When he resurrected his career, all that seemms to have been forgotten, so the story for Rousy may take a good turn if she gets he head together. Hard to say. Sometimes we live in the facade we build for ourselves and struggle to cope when it comes crashing down.

Oh, and Mike Tyson says hello.
