This video adds credit to my theory that the only reason why Ronda Rousey lost to both Holly Holmes and Amanda Nunes was the fact that she abandoned her judo roots and tried to exchange punches against those two beasts. If she had gone for the clinch and the armlock, she most probably would have won both fights. In her case, becoming more "versatile" actually turned her into a lesser fighter.
I'd like to add that her foot work is top notch as well further reinforcement of your theory because she wouldn't need punching to set up her throws die to her ability to potentially Dodge punches and put herself in perfect position for throws
Yeah, she had a cluster of fights where she was K.Oing the girls with her striking, and started trusting her hands, but ran into some even bigger strikers than she was. No one could mess with her on the ground though. Both Amanda, and Holly knew that.
Exactly. Crazy looking at her record, everything is submission armbar. Submission armbar. Submission armbar. Submission armbar. Her problem is she changed her game plan. Her game plan should always have been to stick with the judo and armbar. Learn the boxing fine but don't abandon the game plan that made you successful.
@@garybaker466 Totally , dude. Just look at Khabib - the guy never changed his fighting style. Every adversary knew what the guy did...yet nobody was able to stop him.
@@in2foodThey did not figure her out, she just fell in love with her boxing not realising her incompetence on that field. If she were to stick to her judo and submissions she would have dominated
@Steve Mellinger - Imagine being on a date with her....a criminal tries to rob you.....and she beats on them like a red headed stepchild. What can you do but say , "Thanks baby."
@@tatumergo3931 That too, for sure. But I think those two go hand-in-hand. Her ego made her think she could stand and brawl with professional strikers.
@@alanfrost75 . Well she could have become a decent striker had she had the right person to teach and coach her, but she fell for a swindler. Afterall judo does contain atemi and there are many judokas who have learned and master the art of striking.
@The Afflicted The praise was undeserving. "Making it look so easy", well no shit. Watch anyone with about 1-2 of training, and they could perform the same showing. My point is, in no way was this video impressive enough for such praise.
@The Afflicted you obviously don't train yourself to not have understood my point. These moves are beginner status. The transitions are basic fundamentals.
@The Afflicted Well you must just be missing some logical analysis. Don't get me wrong, Ronda has great technique when it come to grappling, but in no way is this showcase showing how advances she actually is. As I stated before, someone with less than two years of training could do this.
I think the sport adapted to her. Once you know how to handle Mike Tyson's peek-a-boo, it's harder to dominate as much. Same with Ronda. MMA is still pretty young, people can come in with a specialty that others aren't ready for. Once they adapt, everyone can counter you.
jsmall10671 I agree. I think in any sport you have to keep trying to improve and evolve yourself, especially when your at the top. I think she got complacent. She was a one trick pony that never evolved her game into something more. She was very good at her one trick but Holm and Nunes showed up and finally countered it and exposed her badly. Then instead of coming back better she quit.
nice display,and no its not staged,its a demo of throwing to ground locks,holds etc,the guy allows her to demonstrate the throwing and finishing ground moves ,its not a contest bout,rhonda shows very good transitions ,like her variations -ex judo champ
Nope, it is pre arranged! Notice Joe never initiated any attacks or moved very little to block throws or sweeps. Just a demo of basic throws that any real brown belt level can do
DeLaRicci ??? What.? She is not even the best “female judoka in mma” Kayla Harrison won Olympic gold, and does Mma, and there have been many male Olympic medalist “including gold” that have fought in mma... soooo, she was good, but far from the best.
I never doubted her skill one bit, but I lcould never stand how despicably arrogant she always is and was beyond delighted when Holm and Nunes showed her that she is not invincible.
Too bad RR never learned the number one lesson of any Martial Art. Humility and Self Respect for Others. We learn more from our mistakes than we ever learn from our accomplishments. The heart of a true champion/warrior/judoka is how you react to defeat. In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king. Rhonda was the only one with sight, for a little while anyway, then the Preachers Daughter popped her make believe world with a perfectly timed head kick and the Lioness sealed it with a relentless attack and Miss Rousey never gave anyone their respect and disappeared only to emerge in the fake reality of the WWE. There is a lesson there for anyone wishing to see it. You are judged by how you treat the lowest among us.
I'd argue that and say that she did that. I am not a Ronda fan but I think she did learn humility and respect through martial art, but through MMA and the UFC she learn cockiness, bravado and got fame and fortune out of it. When you get to her level and people are saying you're the greatest fighter on the planet, you can beat dudes 2x your size and all that, it gets to you. I think MMA and the UFC changed her into something different.

I love how quickly she transitions to the arm bar once she hits the ground
Yup, that was her go-to move back in the day. Eventually, however, the other girls figured her out and the sport continues to evolve.
@@in2foodThey did not figure her out, she just fell in love with her boxing not realising her incompetence on that field. If she were to stick to her judo and submissions she would have dominated
Yep, a true samurai right there. Finish them quickly.
List of techniques for enthusiasts:
0:39 - Sode Tsurikomi Goshi
0:50 - Yoko Guruma => the ground pin is (I believe) called Yoko Shiho Gatame
1:02 - Harai Goshi => Juji Gatame (armbar)
1:18 - Tai Otoshi => Juji Gatame
1:50 - Yoko Gake (not 100% sure tho) => Kata Gatame transition to Kesa Gatame and Ude Gatame (armlock)
2:07 - Ippon Seoi Nage => Juji Gatame
2:25 - Sode Tsurikomi Goshi => Juji Gatame
Thank you! 🙏
Arigato gazaiyamasu
Yoko means side and Gake means sweep. So I think you're right for the most part.
#2 is sumi gaeshi
Much respect. She is a world class judoka.
Her mother had a MBA, MA, PhD and a gold medal in 1984 world judo championship, all before she gave birth to Ronda. :-)
@@BuntFencer damn her mum was a great woman no wonder Ronda is who she is.
"you have a future" he got me
Even though he didn’t know it was cringe so cringe ohhhhh garsh your good
She did, and then Ippon Neoi Sage'd it on the ground.
Imagine going in for that first kiss after your first date. She says no in her own little way.
@Steve Mellinger - Imagine being on a date with her....a criminal tries to rob you.....and she beats on them like a red headed stepchild. What can you do but say , "Thanks baby."
that no can leave you handicaped for life
I bet she is a firecracker in the sack though
Hahaha, I love it.
I honestly think her biggest flaw in MMA was straying away from her grappling roots and thinking she was a great boxer.
Agree, Rhonda looked good hitting the pads, but once she got hit, all her boxing training went out the window.
Her biggest flaw in MMA was the flaw that everyone who gets to the top falls for, and that's Ego.
@@tatumergo3931 That too, for sure. But I think those two go hand-in-hand. Her ego made her think she could stand and brawl with professional strikers.

She is hyper great in judo. Respect
As judo should be...looks effortless. Except for the years of training and study. Congratulations on making it look so easy :)
Simon Waite it’s effortless AFTER you gain position with some good grip fighting
This is a presentation dumbass

Awesome. One of my favorite things about Fedor and Ronda is the way they reverse a takedown attempt to their own advantage. Basically, perfect timing.
Yeahh
Love ronda rousey 😍
once she lost she was never the same. confidence is such a HUGE factor in combat sports

Nice to know there is still the pursuit of excellence in this country. She is the personification of it!
Ronda as always...... I love you!
Great video. Ronda. Definitely Judo effective. 😇💪👀👊👊👏☝️🎥⭐❤

Nice to see you again Ronda !
nice display,and no its not staged,its a demo of throwing to ground locks,holds etc,the guy allows her to demonstrate the throwing and finishing ground moves ,its not a contest bout,rhonda shows very good transitions ,like her variations -ex judo champ
Nope, it is pre arranged! Notice Joe never initiated any attacks or moved very little to block throws or sweeps. Just a demo of basic throws that any real brown belt level can do
mo mousavi demo, pre-arranged, same thing. And although any brown belt can do these techniques, any brown belt can’t take do it as well as her.
@@kevintse2870 i definitlly agree Kevin
Ronda win most of her fights throw judo.
What u need a match man? It's a demo.swine
Poderosa y hermosa!
Powerful and beautiful!!!
I love Ronda Rousey
She's so damn good.
She has break of all moves her moves are so spontaneous
Ronda was trained by Judo Gene LeBell, Gokor, Manvel and has trained in Brazilian Jui-Jitsu. I filmed her no-gi training and put it on a DVD.
Don't forget her own mom, 1984 world champion.
@@BuntFencer I filmed her mother too.
I love how Gene has earned the name Judo Gene LeBell and it rings nicely too.
I wish Ronda would play with me like that
All that training and one roundhouse kick and light out:)
