Yeah, gotta give her props for marketing and really making the most of her opportunity. I mean, her brand was really big. Shocked me actually because I didn't expect the general public to get so involved in women fighting. I don't care if that sounds sexist, its just the truth. I assumed she was SO dominant and no woman was really on her level so it wasn't a big deal. But damn was I wrong. People were really emotionally invested in her and her losing especially. So, she made people care about women's MMA which by itself is amazing. Her crossover to pop culture was crazy also.
But damn, did she get cocky when it came to her craft. Like most of us, she assumed there wasn't any competition. I'm no expert, but on her feet she looked like s**t. Shocking that this didn't get exposed earlier. After reading about Holm and finding out she was a boxer and the feet game is her comfort zone, with RR being the opposite, its complete lack of respect and cockiness for RR to try and trade punches. Like others have said, not shaking the hand. Her b******t post on IG and twitter. Yeah, this is what happens. You talk s**t, get your ass whooped and get backlash. If Floyd Mayweather ever loss, holy s**t I think the internet would break.
She got some humble pie. Good. Maybe it'll help her, or she'll get her ass kicked again. Either way, as of now, its nice to see a cocky a*****e get their ass handed to them after talking so much s**t.
This, she has had so many fueds also with other fighters and even a ring girl (jealousy) SMH, she refused to touch gloves with other fighters, she came across as a huge b***h on the Ultimate fighter show and even said she can beat up 50% of men in her weight class and beat can beat up Mayweather and now a report came a out a couple days ago that she beat up her ex-boyfriend because he took nude pics of her ......glad that b***h got knocked out!!
