Rousey looked like one of those videos of the tough guy off the street challenging an mma fighter at their gym after Internet **** talking who had never been hit before. She was clearly out of the fight after the first few punches she ate.
I feel like I'm being trolled here.
I'm disagreeing with your assessment that "Ronda seems on the opposite end of the heart spectrum from Tate."
Ronda is terrible. As far as her combat sports record, her pedigree is far more impressive than Tate's. Ronda is a successful olympic athlete in a combat sport. Olympic level combat sports are just as hard as MMA, and have a much deeper pool of competition. We're talking about the biggest sports competition in the history of humanity. Children in every country in the world in every sport aspire to do what she did. Tate, on the other hand, is a totally chill chick who is good at grappling, has lost nearly 1/3 her fights, and briefly held a belt in an ultra soft MMA division.
As far as Tate's fighting spirit, not giving up after your nose is broken doesn't make you a fighter. Children on the street can do that. I did that before I even knew how to fight. She tapped twice when she didn't have to: game over. Then she threw in the towel TWO FIGHTS after being champion because she got stopped and then lost a decision. She doesn't have the heart of a true champion and she knows it. She KNOWS she quit against Nunes. Why humiliate herself again?
Ronda never gave up against anyone. She charged in on Holm until her body failed her. If anything she has too much heart and not enough sense
