What is this Ronda Rousey shits on the woods meme from?

It came from her first or second interview after the Holm loss. She said she got really depressed and her boyfriend, Travis Browne, took her out to his cabin in the woods where they ate a bunch of fast food. She then said she went through a whole roll of toilet paper that weekend because she pooped that much.

In the fight Ronda knocked her out in 30 seconds with strikes, making it the first UFC female knockout, and Ronda yelled "Don't cry" at her while walking away from her.

This isn't true. I believe Cat Zingano had the first knockout against Meisha Tate. Unless we're talking about the difference beaten KOs and TKOs.

Travis Browne needs to ditch that bitch. I'm sure she's been all needy and negative and judgmental and just a big ol pissy pants.

He doesn't need to deal with her attention starved bullshit and trying to be a good boyfriend while training for a fight.

I can't stand the thought of fighting with a busted toe or finger, or broken nose.

Any fight that I've been in where I was smacked in the nose I just stopped. My eyes immediately start crying like a bitch.

Busted toes have cost a lot of fighters a chance at winning. Upstanding catholic cocaine aficionado and stripper support system Jon Jones nearly lost his title to Chael Sonnen because he broke his toe. If he hadn't finished Sonnen in the second he would have had to forfeit the fight due to the rules. And recently Rory MacDonald had his nose caved in by Robbie Lawler and Stephen Thompson in consecutive fights.

They should have just changed it to an exhibition or whatever. The first time you end up in a spot like this as a fighter you usually don't know what you're supposed to do so you just go out and murder the other person because your prep was to be maximally ready and fight to your fullest and it's hard to put the brakes on a train. People who have been fighting for a long time but haven't managed to climb the ladder far enough end up doing these fights from time to time and you learn to take it easy on the chump so long as the chump isn't swinging for the fences (which puts you at a small risk of losing to a chump, especially in mma). An undefeated fighter will be given shots up the ladder very often even if he's only like 6-0. Once you have a defeat it's like you're begging for any meaningful and therefore potentially monetarily rewarding contest at all, especially if you're a boxer, but also if you're an mma fighter. Your coach is usually a fighter with a deep history in the sport but who never made it to the upper crust, which means he's likely to have a 30-7 record or something like that, and he remembers what happened to his prospects after his first loss, so often your coach will tell you to take no chances and just put the opponent dead away, even if they're obviously poo poo and almost no risk to you.


In an australian fight promotion a long time ago, a fighter pulled out at the last minute and steve irwin and his entourage was there watchung fights and steves bodyguard jumped in and fought the other guy on like 20 mins notice, it was pretty sweet. I have the whole card on dvd

It sucks that so many cell phone/hand cam street fights that are 1 guy vs multiple from first person pov get quickly deleted off youtube because of police reports or youtube's content policy. You never know how fast a fighter is till they're punching you or you're seeing it from their eyes. Some of these doods just anticipate all the movement and rig the fight with psychological premeditated movements in advance that preys on your openness and mistakes. Classic street fight bare knuckle boxing is basically the judo of punch sports.

And yet stuff like this is left up where you can hear the bones cracking.

maybe if you're talking rigging and style but most trained boxers get some kind of street fighting background work done in training it just fits under the self-defense chapter which makes it so much more lethal
