And ahead of the publication of her upcoming memoir, Rousey looks back on her professional mixed martial arts career, delving into her deep past with numerous concussions in both mixed martial arts and judo competitions, and explains how she wished she could have retired sooner. So as not to disappoint the fans and UFC CEO Dana White, who made it clear that he had no intention of finishing.
Ronda Rousey calls herself the greatest fighter of all time
Rousey, a former Strikeforce champion who calls herself the best mixed martial arts fighter in history, blamed her shocking knockout loss in 2015 on Holm's ill-fitting mouthguard and her 135-pound weight. He said this was due to the difficulty of losing weight up to that point.
Ronda Rousey explained in an interview with Valeria Rybopetsky that her first loss was due to a bad mouthguard. She said, “I literally joined that fight.'' [with Holly Holm] I've been getting concussions for years, so I already got a concussion from falling down the stairs. And I experienced absolutely terrible weight loss. This means that there is less water in the brain that needs to be cut to protect it. ”
“And I was on my feet the whole match,” Ronda Rousey said. “I was trying to look like I wasn't injured, but cognitively I wasn't. I couldn't think that fast, I couldn't judge distance, and just that one fight. And everyone thought, “Oh, she's just a fraud.” And I know that I'm the greatest fighter that ever lived. ”
