Male to female transition. The problem many have with her fighting other women is that she still has the bone density of a man. Joe Rogan went on a big rant about it. I guess it gives her an unfair advantage.

Ronda wasn't a fraud. Her Judo/ground game let her outclass every woman in the UFC by wide margins - mostly because their pool of talent was laughably shallow.

Her stand-up started to improve and she shocked everybody by knocking out Bethe Correia in 30 seconds. She threw her world class techniques out the window and rushed full stream ahead swinging for the fences. It worked.

Her very next fight was against Holly Holm, who is the most decorated female kickboxer the UFC had signed. Ronda tried to do the same poo poo she did against Correia, but it didn't work against Holm. And Holm completely embarrassed her.

^^ both of you guys neglected to mention the cool way in which she handled her only UFC loss after riding on a sea of fame, fortune, poo poo talk and movie deals for like 3 years

Haha well yeah... It was pretty clear she wanted to make the move to Hollywood. She even strongly hinted(or outright said?) that after she beat Holm she was going to leave fighting indefinitely.

I respected Ronda for her skills. I never thought she fought anyone with her same skill level, but as I said I think it was because they simply didn't have enough fighters to pick from. I don't mind her "me against the world" attitude. I don't care if she doesn't shake hands and all that. I thought it was silly that she tried waaayyyy too hard to sell beef with Holm. And it was obvious Holm got in her head before the fight. Seeing her get ko'd was deeply satisfying and it's god drat hilarious that she ragequit.

How did Holm get in her head before the fight? I honestly don't remember that much of the lead up before the fight.

Ronda mostly just did her normal poo poo talking and mean mugging and got ZERO reaction from Holm. Holm just laughed it all off for the most part. Then Ronda got clowned on at the weigh-ins and looked like a bitch. That's never happened to her before.

Her ego was at it's peak, and I honestly think she was scared for the first time on top of it all. She probably didn't put in the amount of training she should have because of her acting and other distractions. I think she realised all this at the 11th hour.

Call it sexist, but I was a huge proponent of women's mma. I didn't care to watch women try to beat each other up IN A MAN'S SPORT.. I was familiar with Rousey, Cyborg, Carano, Holm, because let's face it... Women mma had been building steam for a while. When it finally became a reality in UFC I was still pretty apathetic to it because I wasn't happy by the lack of finishes. I thought the women were more timid(noobish) and didn't have the "blood thirst" that men had. I came to realize it was pretty gay for me to have such prejudices.

I knew I had to ride out the growing pains of a new division. Everything has to start somewhere, and the fact that Ronda broke out the gate as the biggest thing to happen to women's fighting was unavoidable. She is the Ryoce Gracie of women's mma.

I feel like Joanna Jedrzejczyk is the real loving deal, and I hope she sets the standard for the next generation of women's mma. Let's be honest, they need a Jens Pulver/Matt Hughes/Tito Ortiz/Chuck Liddell/Mark Coleman.

Ronda did her job well.

you realize that wrestling is fake, right?

Yes, but New Jack legitimately assaulted an underaged kid at a wrestling show once.

Some 16 year old kid in attendance signed a waiver to get in the ring and job for the Original Gangsters(?). He lied about his age and then proceded to get the poo poo beat out of him, cut open scissors? A knife? And bled all over the place. The kid's dad filed assailant charges. I think New Jack had some kind of legal punishment, but I can't remember what.

new jack got away scot free because the fat kid (he was fat btw) pretty much schmoozed his way backstage and told everybody he was a wrestler but the promoters never bothered to check. (this was ecw so this is really likely) it almost cost ecw their pay per view deal

several years later the fat kid died during open heart surgery

also new jack stabbed another kid in a match like 17 times and actually went to jail for attempted murder. the kid dropped the charges because new jack told him he'd train him if he did, and then he promptly skipped town afterwards

She did manage to create a pretty good narrative for herself too by beating up Rondas clubmates in order to get a title shot with Ronda. She told Ronda not to kill herself if she lost, not knowing (or maybe knowing) that Rondas father killed himself. She also yelled "Don't cry" at Ronda during the weighins.

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.

All in all one of the more interesting actual storylines in the UFC.

This was what caused Rondas ego to reach the tipping point. A long con orchestrated by Holms.
