Ronda Rousey And The Danger Of Being Imperfect And Female

Maybe if she hadn’t been so arrogant and braggy about herself, critical and condescending when talking about her opponents, and maybe if she had been a “good sport” and touched gloves before the fight rather than acting like she was such a cocky badass and could just stare down Holm, then just maybe people would cut her more slack. But she became so disliked on the way up, and the way she opened this fight, that lots of people were happy to see her get totally crushed. She made this bed and now she has to lay in it, or pull herself up and get the belt back. Despite what she had thought, she’s not invincible.
