I think a lot of it can be explained by the concussions and the fear of that. She was totally respectful in the interview. People change when not under pressure. Also it’s the fight game.

Aw man....experiencing a family death at such a young age is, well...hard to explain. If I felt more comfortable divulging personal stuff here, I would, but I'll just say that it affects you in ways you can never foretell. I was very young and almost 40 years later things are still showing up, I assume because there's an awareness and understanding in adulthood that lacks in childhood; now it's almost like delayed pain, or sadness for the people who were adults back then. Things happen in life thay trigger those memories and sometimes they are incredibly hard to traverse through. It's unexpectedly complicated.

Ronda Rousey in the UFC which is all she should be known for was already a dinosaur in the sport. She specialized in literally just the ground game and only the arm-bar submission. Once she got exposed with that kick to the head by Holly Holm it was all over and everyone saw her for what she was. As far as the WWE although not a pro-wrestling fan from what I hear she's stiff as a board with zero interest in learning the business. Throughout this interview she comes off as simultaneously a narcissist and whiny and very unlikable.

Great interview she is so endearing and transparent. The funny thing is my special needs niece has a Ronda doll That she sleeps with and always calls for Ronda. I really had no idea Ronda in this interview is this legendary women. I sent this podcast to my sister and was so excited to share.

@douglassinclaire9968 24 дні тому

another great episode mate. Thank you RR for allowing us to see you vulnerable. As a lifelong fighter I can imagine that would be the hardest to do. I never lost faith in you and figured something was going on by some of your body language, sorry you had to go through it all at the end. But look at it like other sports' teams.. win they love you lose they dont, until the next game. Some teams havnt won anything in decades and people will still fight you over them. You had a lot of dedicated fans, dont keep the few fairweathers to heart. A brachial kick by anyone, let alone a pro, will knock u tf out.. hurts the ego but its a fact. As a wrestler I would have loved to have you as my gf, cute and strong and not an east german ogre? sheeeit. Glad you found your Shrek. Best wishes, cant wait to read your book.

what an amazing insight this young lady gives us regular people into what it takes to be a world class athlete. it is riveting to witness that even the strongest experiences of pain and suffering did not bring tears to this lovely woman, but deep feelings of gratitude, love and deep human connection does actually bring tears to her eyes. goodness, kindness and love moves humanity more than cruelty and suffering.

What I like about this Chanel is that the CEO allows his guests to be the star of the session. And his questioning method is a textbook lesson for solving a problem without participating in the process: Simply ask open ended questions, let it rip and come back in with a different question laced as an analytical process of the answer to the last question. This guy is brilliant. I subscribed today after watching his interview of Dr. Malik which was itself epic. I want this channel to succeed. It's a blueprint for UKposts sessions for the future.

@slowmotionmammalmama10 Місяць тому

Fallen in love with this woman! I want to hug her and talk all day about miscarriage and trying to conceive. I spent 6 years of my life going through endless miscarriages, 9 on paper and 11 in total. From about the 3rd miscarriage i was defiantly open about it. I still am. Regardless of how uncomfortable it makes others feel. I totally understand the sentiment of not wanting to burden others with the weight of the emotions linked to it but holding onto it without sharing is worse. I am blessed. I gave birth to my son 5.5 years ago. But it doesn't magically take away the trauma of it all. My heart is with you Ronda...1st time I've really become fully aware (though i recognised from the movies) of you, but I'm so glad to have got to know you. Thanks Steven for sharing. FYI so glad you are sharing some of your own journey. ❤

I love the person of RONDA ROUSEY but I hated her actions when she was angry I felt like she was holding in so much trauma that she would just be angry and I felt so bad for the way she handled her career in the UFC and the way people turn on her because the person as we see here is great to see open up. I do feel she should have a documentary of her life and career because of what she has done no other woman could of had the chance to do. She broke into the UFC when people weren't into seeing women fighters and RONDA ROUSEY she should be very proud of herself for being the first to ever do it she brought great women fighters into the UFC she's truly a legend.

I feel so blessed to have not been burdened with ambition in my life. I met enough famous accomplished people to demystify them and convince me I did not want to live like them. Anonymity is like a superpower as long as you have the resources to pursue what you love. So many successful people seem broken to me and it has me asking which came first. Did success break them or were they successful because they were broken?

@alllscination Місяць тому

"Did success break them or were they successful because they were broken?" That is such a good question! I do think in our society a lot of people are successful because they were broken and trying to prove themselves to others and themselves gave them the motivation to push themselves so hard that they became successful.

Holy shit, her transparency about her secret condition, and about being misunderstood when she lost to Holly, is so brave and badass. To be able to bare her soul like this is reinforcement that she is a living champion. Being able to pour her heart out like this is one more win in her record - champions win in and outside of the ring.

@SnoopyReads 27 днів тому

Not giving any credit to the fighters who beat her down, but excusing those losses because of mental exhaustion and being susceptible to concussions is the opposite of being a champion. She even said no one could have ever beaten her if she'd been healthy. That is simply delusional.

The criticism doesnt even sound genuine on any level. I can criticize her based on parts of this, with well meaning feedback,...but her critics have sounded more sociopathic and haters than well meaning. The core of her sounds like person trying her best at circumstances and that's all people can be whatever outcome.

Make no mistake, she acted overly arrogant in the UFC. No one said there wasnt reasons, but bad behaviour is bad behaviour. Didn't really like the way she acted in the UFC, but glad she seems to be coming around. She presented herself in a very likeable manner in this interview.

@sampleoffers1978 26 днів тому

@@wadopotato33 She was a showman in ufc, and I did not personally enjoy her original ufc run, but that was her push to bring in audience, because they clearly felt she was interesting biography to market and she is. It's like hating Ric Flair for his in ring personality. Asinine to be offended at showmanship.

Even still to this very day she is sitting there saying she is better than all the other women by a long shot. It is sad she can’t show true humility. I was a huge fan of hers and wanted nothing but the best for her. How she handled her loss and her disappointment in seeing that others didn’t see her as the greatest female fighter of all time crush her.
