What Does Ronda Rousey Expect from the Media? 

Fans are quick to turn on an athlete once they lose. But in her case, the criticism largely stemmed from her unwillingness to publicly and candidly acknowledge those losses.

Ronda strikes me as a what can you do for me type of person

Ronda was a mega star as long as she didn't have to face any criticism, or push back, or adversity, or negativity, or different opinions, or repercussions for her actions, or change in general lol as soon as the wind blew the wrong way she was having a meltdown

flash backs when you went at rogan. "never expose the BUSINESS"

“HEAD-MOVEMENT!!! HEAD-MOVEMENT!!! HEAD-MOVEMENT!!!”

Rousey is the world champion of being in the right place at the right time. If she was 25 again and returned to MMA she wouldn’t even rate a UFC contract. Her 25 year old self couldn’t even crack todays top 20 bantamweight ranking.

Only man who can talk about everything and nothing at the same time. Undefeated undisputed

As the old saying goes Ronda worked herself into a shoot

Chael in a tough spot. He’s friends with Rhonda, but he’s flabbergasted by her stupidity towards social psychology. A fine line to walk Uncle.

She's a quitter at her core once she got bronze at the Olympics and she knew she wasn't going to win gold she quit Judo and went to MMA once holly knocked her out she folded again and everyone around her had to work overtime to stroke her ego hence Edmond always gassing her up cause he knew how fragile his fighter was Amanda shattered whatever confidence she had left in the octagon she went to WWE the fans took to her in the start and she was praised for it once the newness wore off and she was no better than when she started and the fans turned on her she folded up again, it's her life pattern she meets adversity she folds.

Ronda started believing her own hype and it didn’t help that clowns like Rogan were literally saying she could beat up male UFC fighters.

Rhonda bugged me by how she said these things, but MAINLY how she basically abandoned all of her fans that looked up to her. All the "BE a strong women" talk. Yes she had alot on her shoulders. But I don't remember her ever coming back and make a statement like "Hey shit happens, sometimes you lose. Keep ur head up kids. I'm gonna step away for personal reasons."

I believe Rousey was the one calling on Chael’s phone at 1:06 asking him to only say good things about her.

KAREN RONDA ROUSEY

Lmao she was upset that joe Rogan said Amanda and Holly were better strikers lmao 🤣🤣

I'm still so disappointed with the way she handled that Holly Holm loss. She completely turned her back on the world and acted like she was the most unfairly treated human being in the universe when she lost fair and square. Losing is extremely disappointing but it's not personal and it's not unfair, if she just congratulated Holly and said she'd like the chance for a rematch most fans would have completely forgotten about her loss and still embraced her. She has this ego where she feels like the whole world is against her and she deserves to be looked at as this mythical invincible fighter.

Ronda could be so beloved by both MMA and wrestling fans if she didn’t have such a huge fucking ego

In order for there to be victors, there have to be losers. You can't be competitive without acknowledging and accepting defeat because it is an intrinsic component of competition.

Ronda was hard but not strong. One loss and she completely fell apart. Hard to the touch, but brittle when squeezed. Its a shame.

Ronda Rousey is yesterday's news. She wasn't nice to many people along the way so she won't be missed by many. I hoped she saved her money.

Actually Rhonda the fans got sick of you too , we celebrated her fall. The chip on her shoulder was large

There are not 5 people walking this earth that know a single Ronda fan

thats what happens when you dont lose with grace and humility.... you see anyone who doesn't coddle you and tell you that you really did win and are the best thing ever, as an ENEMY!!!!

"It genuinely fascinates me how someone can go from combat sports to entertainment, and still not understand. And that's not an insult, it just fascinates me" 😂Chael too funny

Chael: “What does Rebecca Roushy want from the media?”

Rhonda was quite talented and was likely proped up mentally by teammates and Dana White. Once she lost she went over the edge mentally. She reminds me of the wrestler Chyna.

All you need to watch is that meme of her shadow boxing to know she's not the greatest fighter ever. Watch the dismantling she received from Amanda to see how bad her boxing is.

Ronda takes herself wayyy too seriously

She tried to become a heel, was really disrespectful and then got beat down. That turned all the fans against her bc she wasn’t acting, she is just a terrible/ bitter person and the fans seen the truth.

RULES ARE RULES. YOU HAVE TO GO BY THE RULES THAT WERE IN EFFECT AT THE TIME

Curt Henning was quoted saying you can either make friends or you can make money!!

Man those last 30 seconds was the real message 🔥

It’s impossible to not Hate Ronda lol

Rowdy Ronda Rousey is the absolute GREATEST FIGHTER to EVER live and a REAL GANGSTA!!! We need Rousey vs Alex Pereira on Ufc 301

Bobby Heenan's shoot interview was magic

Rowdy is a child!

His eye doctor has a wild sense of humor lol

I remember the mma media interviewing Ronda’s mom after her loss to Nunes. Her own mom called out her daughter’s coaches for making Ronda believe she is a striker, she is clearly not. Her mom didn’t really bash her own daughter, but she told the truth Ronda is not a striker, and she couldn’t stand with superior strikers in the cage. Wonder how that mother daughter relationship is now?

Pick up that call Chael it's the IRS 😂 1:15

Lethal Hands. What a great frame in background

Reed Harris, Scott Coker, Chael P Sonnen, Dana White & Me! Hahahah😂

1:07 I was trying to call you, Chael! Pick-up the damn phone!

Jimmy you make a great point about how people treat those with less power. You couldn’t be more spot on. Great video Thanks much

When she was with Brandon Swab is what ruined her.

I am always Intrigued how Chael’s brain thinks! He is honestly one of those interesting people that thinks deeper about things than most! I don’t always agree with Chael or even like Chael at times however as someone who often times thinks of the phycology of why people act and react the way they do, I am always intrigued by Chael’s takes on things! One of the people that I would love to have a conversation with!

This reminds me of the division between Iverson and Stephen Smith for a period of time. AI felt Stephen shouldn't have covered the story, and Stephen felt some one was going to deliver the story and if it has to be done he should do it.

Chael Hit Man Inc. glasses..... LOVE IT!

In a past video, you said if a person understands why there are ceremonial weigh-ins, why the BMF belt doesn’t have a lineage, and why we go towards regulations rather than away, that person knows the business of fight promotion. I believe the answer to the first question is advertisement. Sponsors are what keeps the lights on. This is why the UFC could hold events with no live gate and still remain in business. Chael, I know you read the comments and I also know that if I’m right your not gonna tell me, but that’s my answer to one of the questions

I love reading the titles of Uncle Chael's videos thinking hes gonna say one thing and then watching said videos and being completely wrong with which way he takes them. I NEVER know what he's gonna say but damn are his videos entertaining

I love Chael & his thrashing of Ronda by merely telling it true. Another great piece, another hot take and ANOTHER 1 for the BADGUY!!

Ronda's the Ray Finkle/Lt. Einhorn of mma and Holly is Dan Marino.😂 Basically

I suppose it's a way of looking at things. With Rhonda specifically, she was built up in a way that surprised me. People began making astonishing claims (based on very little information might I add) about her abilities. Claims that I frankly couldn't believe, adult men, competent men, were suddenly making outrageous claims about her. To go from that, people taking up two packs a day just to blow smoke up your ass, to she is washed in the span of a few weeks, is probably a difficult pill to swallow. A few weeks ago, you were saying outrageous things about me that you knew weren't true(I'd hope), and now you are being a little more honest, a little harsh about me. From her perspective, if you were lying about me then, why aren't you lying about me now? To me, the problem isn't her hurt feelings. The problem is the lying, the outlandish and fantastical claims that were being made about her. But in an age where after every card, there's a new pound for pound greatest of all time! The greatest knockout evah, EVAH!!! Do not doubt it! Homie you done changed the game! The problem is humans tendency to exaggerate and aggrandize issues they are connected to. Hottest summer ever! The heat index is off the charts! Not a big storm, it's a super storm! The polar vortex is coming! You hear someone say it everyday about something. Things have never been this serious before! You don't understand, if you don't agree! But every age, the people living in it, when they heard someone say the world is coming to an end because just look at all the chaos going on in the world, you don't believe that person but you can see where they are coming from.

To answer your question though Chael about Ronda what she expects is special treatment and not just from the media..

Chael, you explained this to the tee! I hope she really takes a watched and listens to what you actually said. You said nothing wrong and was very respectful towards her feelings!!

Ronda looking nice in the thumbnail. Lol. RONDA COME HERE BB.

Well said Chael.

Damn Tio Chael speaking wisdom at the bbq towards the end of the night

Chael is a professional did you see his front flip from back mount on fedor to getting ground and pounded out 10/10

I think it's time to settle this once and for all... Rousey vs Holm 2! Let's get It on!

Chael says the most backhanded , condescending thing and then says it's not an insult 🤣🤣🤣😭 I love uncle chael

when he said she came out the other side I thought he was going to say hated by them😂😂

Chael not being in the WWE is a crime!!!! Not as a wrestler but with his mic skills and background he could be a Paul Heyman hybrid. Making wrestlers seem better than what they are, but still able to get active if necessary.

People like rousey think they are too important. That they matter more than the average. Everything is personal. Everything has an angle… things are what they are in this life. The “meaning “ is all a matter of perspective. Great video chael 👊💯

So it's myself and 4 others? Wooooooow

1. Journalists are not your friends so guard yourself. 2..Journalists are never off the record. Everything you say is on the record. Everything you say can and will be used by a journalist against you to make money.

Ya ever notice how people's entourage isn't industry people? It's usually people they grew up with. I think most entertainers understand they business friends and the entourage reflects that.

In other words: “They’re ✍️..🤔how else were they supposed to say that you sucked?because you sucked, you know that”

Watching this just herd frances nganou news thoughts with him so sorry champ😢😢😢

Mr Sonnen would've been a bomb ass wrestler

You are definitely the master at bringing kayfabe into MMA and you trash talk with the best of them but I respect you for taking your losses on the chin

You can be s friend and be honest to its not what you say its how you say it

HEAD MOMENT!

"Okay now i gotta step down as DA.."

Chael we expect you to had Ariel his ass on his show regarding his “run it back” comment about Ryan Garcia and his weight.

The start with Ronda is a game fighter and a corner stone of the UFC

Chael Dana and Lorenzo.

CAIN VELASQUEZ is the former ufc hw champion. Everyone assuming it was brock.

She wants the Mike Tyson, Marvin Hagler type treatment. Where they made their mark, rose to the very top, and regardlessof how their careers ended, people still treat them like gods years later. No doubt she wants the same treatment. She made her mark, rose to the top, career ended on a down note just like Tyson and Hagler, but she is not getting the same type of praise they get. She does deserve lots of credit, and i think she'd be getting it, but she created a bad image for herself, which is why she is not praised. You cannot deny she was great, but fans are not gonna give her that type of praise because of her self made image. She could've had better people around her to help with her image.

Holm holds the 2nd greatest knockout in my books over that DNB. Hahaha.

I wonder if Edmund got a percentage of her WWE contract???

Chael is the most legendary yapper of all time. Only he can give you a 10 minute nothing-burger and make it feel entertaining.

head movement and straight punches is better than an armbar...

"Dancing on Ronda's grave" = acknowledging Holly's impressive win and complimenting it. If you’re really Ronda's friend you’ll write articles calling Holly a loser, cheater, and a fake whore, and argue that Holly verbally tapped in round 1. That’s what Ronda expects from her friends. Because she’d totally do the same for you.

Is the background a greenscreen now?

Man alive! These fighters can beat the crap out of 99% of the population and are as delicate as a moose's balls flapping in the wind.

Ronda had a critic by her mother which was correct on her last victory that she had to work on her striking boxing muy-tai karate mix them together get her boxing skills then work on the rest after that

When I saw that fight back in 2015, Holm was such a beautiful lady lol

The way people like to try to rewrite history amazes me... No one can top what Ronda did when she did it... She went from first UFC women star to megastar... Say what you want but I'm right ... If you disagree prove me wrong...

"when you're out there the only thing real is the money and the miles" the bad guy.

The guy

Ronda forgot how it feels sitting very close to greatness

That bollea pronunciation was rough uncle Chael

I bet Chael Sonnen would be the one to figure out how to integrate pro-wrestling bump taking as a form of damage control in an MMA fight.

Vickey,; i meant Ronda . Tpri, who knows. ❤

People did sort of immediately turn on her and say the loss to holly proves she was never good in the first place and tried to shit on her entire career as a result of the loss.

Those are clearly his favorite glasses lmfao that mf is never seen without them now

Guys please like this so Chael can see it and respond to my question! Chael, you keep bringing up that you would like Max to defend the BMF belt, but according to Sean O’Malley and Tim Welch, you don’t get ppv points for defending the BMF belt. You always said there is a reason Masvidal never defended it and that it’s bc the UFF didn’t wanna have to pay him ppv points so it didn’t get defended. So my question is, Do you agree or disagree that the BMF belt doesn’t get ppv points? And if not, does it change your opinion about whether or not Max should defend it!?

I think the fans turned on her due to being a poor sport. When she broke an opponent's are and in the post fight interview she said she didn't care. Or the many times she refused to shake hands with her opponents. Then when she lost no one cared!

I know we all wanna be the hero of our story, but sometimes you're not. Sometimes you're the asshole.

Just heard an interview where someone said that while she was on top she was rude as hell to a lot of the people she felt she could abuse, probably including the same peoples she now complaining about.
