Ronda Rousey thanks fans, says she'll take time to decide next moveBy Ramona Shelburne, ESPN.comA day after losing to bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 in Las Vegas, Ronda Rousey said she will "need to take some time to reflect and think about the future.""I want to say thank you to all of my fans who have been there for me in not only the greatest moments but in the most difficult ones. Words cannot convey how much your love and support means to me," Rousey said in a statement provided to ESPN."Returning to not just fighting, but winning, was my entire focus this past year.

get a new coach or retire plain and simple to me. but then again if she continues to get pounded she is both ruining her brand and legacy

Her legacy may be already ruined after that beating. The people who are saying she was a false media creation are right. I dont think anyone will care to see her as a super hero in a movie after the vision of her face smashed in. Thats going to be hard for her to shake. Maybe if she lost on a decision, but She got obliterated in a big way. 48 seconds to oblivian

she is finished

idk man, if she could man up swallow her pride and surround herself with people that arent ass kissers, she could bring herself back as a threat. it could be done but since she didnt do it last time, i am a firm believer that she doesnt take critiques very well or she is just plain stupid. the proper striking coach could step up her game which in turn would work to her strength. then again you cant really teach someone to take a hit. she is done though like fuzo says

Idk bros !!!!
If she gets herself a new camp , she might be able to come back and do some damage !!!
She might need to get in some Anabolics and start terrorizing the women's division altogether !!!

Those were some serious head shots she took. I dont see her recovering from it, plus what Holly did to her. That would be hard for anyone to recover from ,man or woman. Many fighters are never the same after taking a beating like that. Those head blows are never forgotten. I bet her ears are still ringing and she probably has head aches and vertigo. She is a shell of her former self. If she fights again, she risks embarrassing herself even more.

I'd say she's probably done. I don't think it's impossible for her to come back providing she gets a new camp/trainers etc... but after this second beating I feel like that's probably it for her. She came up and won so much, she never really learned how to lose and I think that's her biggest defeat.

Uncle Dana did her a hug disservice lining up gimmick fight after gimmick fight against against soup can fighters. She was/is literally a 1 trick pony. got a lethal armbar. but just like Royce Gracie found after people figured out how to neutralize his jujitsu, he had zero other skills, no stand up and he was finished, even after a cycle of deca he popped positive on. Ronda has zero striking skills and her coach is a joke. Even Cyborg offered to bring Ronda to her camp and be trained in standup the right way now that they aren't ever going to be in same division. Ronda has zero desire to actually train in the way a fighter needs to train for a real fight. she's made enough bank off the gimmick fights to survive without hollywood. she doesn't have the mental strength or character to start from the bottom on prelim fights and work her way to a legit title shot (assuming she could put togther enough wins legitimately). even her title shot in the WEC was put together on hype. Fighting for the belt on 4 professional fights? Scott Coker trying to bring the hype to save the WEC with Miesha vs Rousey the original. No title defense in the WEC and came in as the UFC women's champ from jump street. she's been exposed for the media sensation she is and her fighting days are over.

Why did Ronda try to stand up with her? The Holm fight proved she is not a stand up fighter, gotta wonder how she was coached for this one. Her victories are by arm bar, get it to the ground! I doubt she'll come back after that beating....but if she does, she needs a new coach and game plan.
